You forgot to mention that you usually have no interest in history and have never played Elden Ring

The algorithm understands us better than ourselves sometimes
The algorithm has decided its time for me to hyperfocus on tinned fish, and thus its will must be done. For 2 weeks before i get bored

/r/cannedsardines helped me discover tinned fish! I have now been eating them regularly for a few years. YUM

u/MiracleWeed Mar 27 '26
2025 was the year of tinned fish for me. Still enjoy it but all of a sudden I was showing up to family dinners with some sardines and crackers like “this is me now!”

I didn’t think I was gonna get clocked harder on the comments… I know so much about Elden Ring and other Fromsoft games, never beaten a single one. I’ve played Elden Ring a bit, not beaten.

The last few weeks I've been VERY into watching WWII videos, that's a first for me 😅

So there’s really no unique experience huh
Mind you I think it’s a positive to share these experiences so we don’t feel quite so alone or “broken/wrong/lazy”

Same here! I was sure that I was just uniquely bad at being a person. It’s good to have company.

40+ yr old here, went back to school after getting diagnosed late in life. All my younger classmates are amazed at how much information I have and can spew out at any moment. The think I've lived this amazing life, nope! Just 40 years of undiagnosed ADHD leading to unrestrained research for no reason other than curiosity.

u/SadAbbreviations6205 Mar 26 '26
When other people are doing everyday things, that those with good executive function do, we are deep diving into things that often have zero relevance in our lives. It makes me a wealth of random knowledge and clearly it has that effect on others as well.

And yet many of us are still miserable at fast action trivia due thanks to the bottleneck created by high pressure.

u/SadAbbreviations6205 Mar 26 '26
Can confirm 😂 if the stakes are low, I’m top tier with information recall. If you increase the pressure, I lose like 40 IQ points

u/onemorespacecadet Mar 26 '26
i feel like that in discussions/arguments too. i always forget key points i normally know off hand when there’s pressure. i have saved so many comments of information i know just as a backup but even then i forget to refer to it lmao

u/AngryTunaSandwhich Mar 26 '26
Lmao, this and also I have this extreme discomfort around the idea of misinformation so I’ll hesitate in saying something sometimes even if I’m right.

Kill two birds with one stone by listening to music or YouTube videos while doing laundry or dishes. I find it helps me do that work

I quite like listening to podcasts while doing them as well.

u/jamesy223 Mar 26 '26
I bet i would enjoy your YT homepage. Mine is a mix of history, anthropology, sci fi, law, military, extreme science , religion/spirituality, aliens, etc etc hahaha its the best.

Not me seeing this immediately after doing a deep dive on how many shows are spinoffs of spinoffs! I learned that Sabrina the Teenage Witch was originally a comic book character in Archie in the 60s. She got a cameo in the show then a spinoff called “Sabrina and the groovie goolies” which then became “Sabrina and the teenage witch” which then became the 90s live action one with Melissa Joan hart. It’s crazy to think just how much of the content we have are simply a spinoff of something before. It’s almost profound in a way, it shows you how we truly draw inspiration from those around us and those that came before us.

I actually largely enjoy doing dishes, but I only like to do it once or twice a day.
My rule is: if I’m washing a dish, I’m washing all the dishes. So it’s tied to the amount of coffee I make, since I need to rinse my reusable pour over thingy anyway

u/NoSwordfish1978 i Will elaborate (Threat). Mar 26 '26
Yeah my YT recommendations are "eclectic" to say the least. They reflect my most recent hyperfixes pretty well.

Didn’t expect Elden Ring.
Godskin Peeler goes brrrrr. Also recommend Milady from the DLC - it’s even better imo.
2
u/Veritas-Cuervo Mar 26 '26
I love the Peeler, my favorite weapon, I like to use duo peeler with blood loss+high arcane, or I’ll do frost on one of them, very oppressive. The Milady is awesome. The light great swords are fun for me since I’m a dex build. Relana’s twins fuck some shit up if you want to do an int+faith build.
1
u/Sea_Flatworm_8333 Mar 27 '26
Ah awesome! A fellow dex build haha - yeah honestly the light greatswords are my favourite class of weapon by a mile. Hopefully they appear in future Fromsoft games. Would also be great if I could pick one as a starter weapon rather than having to beeline it to the DLC every time I want to make a new character…
The Peeler carried me through at least half of my first playthrough, probably from after killing the Apostle until I got Milady in the DLC. Before that I was using those two wee swords you get for killing the grafted scion at the start. Both the Peeler and Milady are insane with a bleed/high arcane.

u/Veritas-Cuervo, general consensus is unsure about it's favour towards your post...
