You find yourself in a room of 100 people and must give a presentation. You're given no time to prepare and must fill 40 minutes with a lecture. It doesn't matter what topic this lecture is on or how your delivery is, just as long as you can fill 40 minutes. What would be your topic with this in mind?

My topic would probably be tournament organization. I have been TOing since 2010 which is 13 years now. Between all the tournaments I created, tournaments I helped ran, and tournaments I experienced by others I feel like I would be adequate. Heck, in my undergraduate college algorithms class my final presentation was on the Tournament Method algorithms so I have done something like this before.

What topic would you pick?

The Belmonts (In Smash, I know nothing about Castlevania) is an easy lecture!

One time I got drunk and ranted about the packing industry for a good 40 minutes. I don't remember what I said but my friends told me that I spoke like I had a lot of knowledge on the topic.

Truthfully I could probably lecture about nearly anything if given some time.

Most any math topic would be easy for me to fill up 40 minutes with for sure lmao. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything else that jumps out at me but I know I can definitely ramble on about a variety of topics especially if it's a lore dump or historical topic that I'm somewhat familiar with.

If the topic and the delivery don't matter, I think I could talk about damn near anything. It likely wouldn't be good, but incoherent rambling for 40 minutes is something I can manage.

On a more serious note, I can give a great starter guide for playing Civ VI lol.

I think my safest bets would be talking about capybaras or anime. Secondary options would be the invention of the windshield wiper or politics/religion (easy to talk about, but I’d hate doing it). Give me a couple glasses of alcohol and I think I’d do fine with just about any topic.

I feel that, I been playing ROB forever so I imagine I could do a lecture on my main as well.

The challenge would be having no preparation, maybe the key is Drunk Camden becomes Professor Camden.

Hey, I might be reaching here, but do you by chance play Melee? If not you should check it out.

Local Man Rambles About Civ VI sounds like a fun class.
