Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

My most stereotypical special interest (in that it’s something really random that you might assume there’s not a lot of depth to) is artificial lighting technology.
But I have a lot of stuff I could infodump about: computers, video games, TTRPGs, world building, neurology, etc.
One of my daughter’s old classmates is currently studying the effects of artificial lighting from port cities on local sea creatures - how it affects their day/night cycle - that’s the gist I got anyway.
Have you seen the technology connections videos on lighting? The one about the Balafire is interesting, and he also recently discovered some excellent Christmas lights.
I have, I like his channel a lot.
