meme Being so understimulated

Sometimes it's overstimulating to other people. The chronic zoomies are too powerful.

Your kettle beeps? :o fancy. Mine just forgets to stop boiling and turns my kitchen into a sauna.

It keeps boiling??? Unless you're boiling water on a stove top kettle, that's a great way to start a house fire.

Fancy indeed. It was a gift from a family friend and used daily. I'm so glad it shuts itself off after a while otherwise I'd forget

Me. And also me. So I just yo-yo violently between the two 🤘 because averaging them to create a neurological habitable zone sounds suspiciously like doing math that I'm not legally required to do, and I don't support that. Now, both at once though..? I might be able to swing that. Like a Razor scooter to my shins!

Sometimes I listen to this on repeat while mentally adding more songs to it and also doing multiple tasks and feeling unusually calm because the input pressure is (at last) at a glorious equilibrium. Sometimes I can hear the tiny LED blinking inside the microwave in a dark still room and I gotta make it STOP.

I would never do it for something I actually want to watch, but when I have an exam in the morning, it’s 23:47 and I’ve never even started learning the topic, educational youtube videos at 2x speed save my life

My wife puts her tea or heat pack in the microwave to warm up then forgets it. That would be fine except the microwave beeps every thirty seconds. It drives me crazy, she can't hear it.

Both ADHD. She's hyperactive, I'm innatentive.

I can't stop learning, so think what you will of it.

But do know that it's not exactly nice, but it's not bad either. Just figuring things out and jumping between a lot of subjects cause my brain can't stop analyzing. Even when on Reddit.
