Sport. Got stuck at one of 2 tables people sat at from my course on Monday night and the rest of the table proceeded to talk about hurling. I sat there thinking it was rude to leave, for several minutes, then got up and moved to other table and instantly found conversation interesting.
Does mean I'm less fit than I should be probably though. Used to dance quite frequently until I moved too far out of town to get home easily from wahtever clubs

I think I have a thing in my brain that just tunes out sport talk the moment it happens. If sport comes up in conversation or on telly all I hear is "blahblahblahblah" MAybe if I didn't have this handy cerebral device I might learn something, but sadly it's there to stay.

Political rallies. I probably say that every 4 years though.
Rallies aren't really a British thing are they? Other than Korbz at Glasto or whatever, or protest marches that politicians kind of sidle into to give a sneaky stump speech. Did even Farage bother with them?

Funko Pops - Beanie Babies for nerds

There was a triumphalist Brexit rally about a week before the referendum, that was populated by toffs and the like, all marvellously happy and confident of the win.
That one clearly had no effect - or did it? Did they win by a smaller margin, or did people go "I wanna be like them?" and change their vote accordingly?
We have no way of knowing....

In my world they are used to display/signal fandom especially geek-adjacent fandom a la anime, sci-fi....
Many, perhaps most, are gifts. If you don't know what to give someone except that they like Sandman or Ghost World or Stephen Universe or Jujitsu Kaizen, you can give them a Funko Pop; they smile and put it on their bookshelf, life moves on.

I'm not sure what makes me hate them quite so much but I think it may be the way every single cultural artefact is reduced to the same fucking identikit ugly dolls, like none of it matters, it's all the same shit, nothing is countercultural, all just different flavours of Fanta from the same soda fountain.
