There's a little bit of geekiness in all of us. Who doesn't have that one thing about which they strangely know a lot and pride themselves on being experts? Whether it’s gardening, the Harry Potter universe, or video games, it’s not such a bad thing to channel our inner Sheldon Cooper sometimes. Sure, he's a bit socially awkward, but that doesn’t take away from his charm.

The subreddit we’re looking at today is exactly that—nerdy and a little bit challenged in the adequacy department. Its 17.6k members, or as they call themselves, delusionists, are entitled to discuss everything from Sigmund Freud to Star Wars. So without further ado, we invite you to scroll through the best that the subreddit "Delusions of Adequacy” has to offer.

    I'm sorry but I can't help it when I see a picture of Cerberus (even one like this from when he was a puppy) but the origin of Cerberus is probably from a Proto-Indo-European word "k̑érberos" meaning "spotted". That's right, Hades called his giant three-headed dog, "Spot".

    Well then I've got bad news for you... We've been living through the golden age of dinosaur paleontology but somehow the kids books haven't figured this out. More than 90% of species have been named in the twenty years! Especially China comes up (with boringly/incomprehensibly named ones). But e.g. in 2011 one sauropod got officially named "Thunder thighs", https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/t-rex-pantydraco-how-dinosaurs-get-their-names-180962602/ So, downvote for being wrong in a 'nerdy' topic, upvote for dinosaurs.
