There's a bit of 4chan culture sprinkled into here from the GG days on /v/ left over. That's enough to have "autist" viewed generally as a slang vernacular and not necessarily an insult nor medical condition.
I resemble the WW2 Fan remark, except my knowledge goes a lot farther than just equipment.
My knowledge of history made me an intellectual superhero on college campus. It shocked me how little the average classmate in my classes knew about even recent history, things that happened not even 5 years ago.
Visited Italy last year for exactly that reason (also "Romaboo"). Great trip, but waaaaaay too many people. Like, I realize I'm part of that "too many people" but it was just insanely crowded.
The Average Redditor is missing "touches children".
I'm the Turbo Autist.
I feel like more than half the people on this site could probably adopt that label and it wouldn't even be an insult.
Not you, though.

That's why I started making lists. I now have a source list for any subject I need.
got a good reading list?
This was me before the internet.
I just casually enjoy topics of history that interest me or that I consider important.
Me too. Sadly I like all of it.
My love of History is the MAIN reason I would visit Europe, especially the UK.
I'd be like Shadiversity when he visited the UK, fanboying around all the castles even enjoying the rust on an 13th century lock!
I feel that way about Italy.

Go to Argentina. Same culture, less people.
Imagine bothering about who the best emperor was when you could be discussing the consuls or kings instead.
Ludwig II is proof you can do amazing things when willing to bankrupt a country.
Probably a mix of WW1, WW2, and Romaboo. What can I say? It's interesting stuff.
It's got tons of depth for any of them. One of the reasons why I enjoy Lord of the Rings is Tolkien put in that much depth into his stories.
WWI was just insane, and the deeper you go, the more insane it gets. There are books on game theory entirely based on wwi.
As a WW2 fan I am in love with military equipment.
WWI fan checking in.
