Commonly discussed topics you don't care about
Whether in discussions on here or in real life, on TV shows or in the news, what topics disinterest you completely? Not necessarily that you hate what's being discussed, but more so that you literally couldn't care less.
Politics - I follow politics, am interested in it in a general sense, the personalities, the scandal, watching election night and enjoy seeing how it all plays out. When it comes to policy though, I scroll through vast amounts of the political threads on here. I especially have no interest in economics, debt, spending, that kind of stuff.
Corporate business speak - Strategic targets, corporate identity and all that stuff. Load of balls to me. Boggles my mind that people are invested in this kind of stuff.
Home reno stuff - No interest in it. My wife will say something needs updating, I'll look it and say "Nah, looks fine" The latest is that the interior needs painting, but I look at it and genuinely can't see anything wrong with it. Likewise, I can't stand shopping for this kind of stuff. It's so mind numbing to me. After the 2nd or 3rd store I'm done and just agree to whatever.
Cell phones - I have a Huawei, couldn't tell you what model it is. Believe I had a Samsung before that, no idea what model. I let my wife deal with all that stuff. We have a family member who is almost always guaranteed to bring up cell phone contracts at family gatherings and how to nickel and dime and haggle to get the best ones. I zone out completely.

The NFL.
I'm a pretty big sports guy, and I enjoy watching the NFL. But I just can't get into like I do for hockey and soccer. Fantasy football = kill me now.
Some of my friends know every player on every roster and the upcoming draft and I just can't even.

NFTs. Don't really care about it, or find it interesting. The second it comes up in conversation I usually start thinking about something else, like baseball, or stare out the window.

For me it is baseball. I have no interest in anything baseball related. The game is boring, slow, season is too long and there just isn't anything worthwhile to draw me in. I listen to/watch TSN's Overdrive a couple times a week but once they start talking about baseball I shut it off.

Anything on Netflix or any other major streaming service. 99% mindless garbage. The amount of time people waste watching and then talking about the latest streaming show is mind-boggling to me.

Esports. I get that it is big, and I used to game a lot, but I still don't get watching it. Not for me.
