the useless knowledge that makes you unbeatable at exactly one thing.

means Bits of obscure, often pointless informationsmall facts valued less for their use than for the pleasure of knowing them.

from From Latin trivia, the plural of trivium, literally "a place where three roads meet" (tri-, three, plus via, road). Because crossroads were public, busy spots, the word came to suggest things common, ordinary, everyday. By the time it reached English, "trivial" meant trifling and unimportantand "trivia" was revived in the 20th century as a name for those scraps of minor knowledge. (The medieval trivium, the lower three of the seven liberal artsgrammar, logic, rhetoricshares the same root and likely reinforced the sense of "the basics.")
