Years ago, in the scuba subreddit, I posted some pictures of some gear sets we had in a glass case in our shop we’d recovered along with the bodies of their divers in a local cave. It’s our warning not to fuck around with cave diving without the proper gear and training.

Another person in the sub started chatting about some other interesting memorabilia I’d put up in the shop, and it was clear he was one of my divemasters.

So he and I suddenly knew each other’s reddit handles, and turned out our paths had crossed in several other niche subs, and we realized how many hobbies we didn’t even realize we shared despite hanging out weekly at the shop.

I hope none of you have a habit of commenting on porn threads, because that would surely be an uncanny way of finding out eachother’s kinks

  Nah - it was boring stuff like 3d printing, guns, and PC building.
  
  We’re both gear nerds.

    Yeah, scuba diving is completely different.

    A mechanical thing with interchangeable parts where nerds discuss the performance, compare, and customize them.
    
    The “why” someone is into a thing, imo, is more important than the thing, usually.

  I specifically use my normal username and profile pic as a challenge to people. Oh, you want to laugh about how you saw me in a thread discussing a fetish porn game? Care to explain what you were doing there? Okay, now, give me your list of favorites.
