Mine is that some people don't consider viruses alive. These people are fucking stupid because giruses exist as do virophages. Like yes unalive things literally hunting other unalive things totally makes sense.

I'm a bit more into music than many of my friends. So i guess it might count as a "special interest".

I found this really cool type of music called "microtonal" music, which uses different (and more) notes than traditional western tonal systems. A lot of middle Eastern and Indian music is "microtonal" as well, although that term seems kind of eurocentric when you put it that way.

Either way, microtonal music can get really wierd and cool. I especially like sevish (on youtube) who makes nice and odd melodies. You can even make microtonal music with as many as 313 distinct tones (although I've never seen anyone use all of them in one song)

Have you checked out bohlen pierce? Its macrotonal! Instead of dividing the octave (root note times 2) into 12 steps, you divide the tritave (root note times 3) into 13 steps. Its really cool sounding ^^
