    God I feel this so much

    The main issue is over the years I’ve gathered so much knowledge about so many subjects I can basically go on a tangent like a champion

      Tangents are my jam. Do you also connect the most random topics together? It’s always funny when someone talks about electrical engineering, and I chip in with the comment that it reminds me I should up my caloric intake

        Oh hell yeah

        And sometimes even make multiple jumps from one topic to another waiting for the next moment to talk.

        Or in the case of when a few of my buddies and I hang out we will talk for hours and our topics will be as wide as the ocean and as deep as a puddle. Or the opposite, as deep as the ocean and as wide as a puddle.

    I have ADHD, and my dad has both ADHD and mild autism. Our conversations are like a series of neverending TED Talks about everything from cat behavior to mechanical engineering.

    Yes! Omg…people ask me what they think is a simple question about said hobby completely unaware of the absolute storm that is about to be unleashed upon them. For example, someone asks me a simple how do you keep this plant alive…well you now are going to learn where it is native too, what the climate is like, it’s life cycle and blooming characteristics, its evolution and taxonomy, pollinators and oh don’t forget about the diseases and pests it gets and oh! Let’s talk about soil chemistry…and mushrooms! Fungus are fascinating and network with plants…anyways, you get the idea. And suddenly they are trying to exit the conversation, and im like wait nooo, i have more. 😆

    my friend has seen me do this to so many people and she just sits there with an amused look when she knows it’s about to happen. So glad someone gets entertainment out of it.

    I had that at work. Except my hyper focus solved an issue they’ve been dealing with for months. Now my superior comes to me every time I see him and thanks me again. It’s been over a month.

    “…so that character came in the third season, but actually they were an extra in the first season, so it’s kind of like…hey…are you leaving? To the bathroom? Oh ok, let me follow. So, as I was saying, they became a member of the fulltime cast in the third…oh it’s ok, there’s a partition next to the urinal, I can’t see anything. So, like I said, they only came in the third season, but they wanted to be in the second season, but the producer at the time had a grudge…hey…where are you going? A stall? Oh ok, well you can still hear me, so let’s find two side-by-side stalls. So anyway, wait until you hear what happened once the fourth season started…”

        Because it’s way more precise than pouring liquids into a beaker (which can be off by 10%), much easier to judge than bending down to judge a level, and since with water 1 ml == 1g (yeah, metric system helps…) fairly easy to calculate. All other liquids commonly used are close enough.

        Also what the fuck is 3 cups of flour/rice/salad (?!) even supposed to mean. Loosely packed? Compressed?

          Yep, measuring by weight is the only way to get consistent results for bread dough.

          The density of flour seems to change based on weather and humidity levels, so trying to measure by volume is pointless.
