i'm a nerd about still thinking being a nerd should refer to intellectual pursuits and not just about liking something a lot...

You're asking on Lemmy? Star Trek.
The Harmonized Tariff System that helps standardize international trade and Customs. It’s part of my job, but I kind of love it and get really into the Explanatory Notes and CROSS rulings.
If we’re talking fun stuff, Star Trek starship classes.
I would probably say that I'm a nerd about animation. I love to see animated movies and see how they are made, be it 2D, 3D or stop motion. I also like to watch some lesser known movies. Some of my favorites are 9, Jack and the Cuckoo-clock heart and Mune: Guardian of the moon.
I don't know if you're into gaming, but Steam Next Fest has a demo for a claymation adventure game called Harold Halibut that's pretty awesome
Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don't hear many other people talk about it
Wow, what are the odds that all 3 people who have seen Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart would be in this thread?
Jokes aside, I'm in a similar boat to you. I love seeing behind-the-scenes looks at how all types of animation are made. Even dabbled in it a bit myself from time to time. I work at a video game company and have always wanted to get into the animation department, but have been stuck in the IT department for the better part of a decade now.
3D animation is really neat IMO because it's a blend of technical ability and artistic ability. The software and practices for creating 3D animations are pretty damn complex. Modeling with good topology, UV unwrapping, rigging, all before you can even start animating, lighting, rendering, etc.
Obviously traditional animation and stop-motion also require technical ability, but I guess I find 3D animation more accessible cause I'm a computer nerd as well.
I have a Star Wars room in my house. I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, though not really collecting on purpose until I was older.
I still have lots of stuff from then and I read a lot of books regarding the history and politics of Star Wars (pre-Disney era).
Disregarding the toxicity that has become of the fanbase, I find it incredibly fascinating and scary how democracies turn into dictatorships.
Web development; Rocket League; badminton; skateboarding; music; space, science and physics and stuff. Later in life, history. Well maybe not a nerd of history, just find it super fascinating. Also lately, Star Wars.
So many things. Japan. Star Trek. 90's cartoons. Computers. Those are just a few.
I've always been a huge nerd for geography and traveling. Every other interest I tend to hyperfixate on then fall out of, but those 2 seem to be eternal. I love learning the history and geography of new places and going to see them.
Probably sharks.
