Them: "I loved episode 495 of that anime where the protagonist finally got the legendary 3rd piece of the magic crystal after rescuing the Puffin King! And their pet snowman was soooooooo adorable!!!"
Me: "Did you know that in the late 1800's people in the southern U.S. would have steamboat races for fun? And that the competitors were so proud and intent on winning that they would overload the boilers to the point of them potentially exploding and killing over half the people on the ship?"
Them: "...wtf..."

Them: "...no..."
