    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

        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.

            Straight up facts

            Literally had a newer friend ask me once how I got on a topic, I explained it and in the process of explaining it queued up a new topic that I just kinda slid in at the end like it was always there and pivoted again.

            They looked at me flabbergasted and said, “Nevermind, I guess we’re talking about public transit now.” And the convo continued until our break was over.

                Makes total sense to me.

                I’m also into nature photography though I haven’t gotten any great shots with my telephoto lens really. It’s bloody hard to line it up not to mention focus it. I’m getting better but it can still be tough.

                Now close ups, portraits, and landscapes are my jam.

                I hike a lot (probably too much) and drag my camera gear with me almost every time unless I’m spelunking.

    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.

    “…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?

          ^^ thanks for doing it for me 😂 volumetric measuring can get to fuck for anything precise

          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.

          If I come across a recipe that has cup measures there’s no chance I’m using it

          1ml of distilled water in perfect conditions = 1g … but it’s still close enough most of the time to not matter. Other liquids could be off by larger margins.

        You probably won’t be surprised to learn that I am very much a James Hoffman disciple, between that and being a foodie I was always destined to be a weight supremacist.

    oh God is this me. I am known to type out complete novels to my friends, to the point I fear I scare off potential new friends because of it. Sometimes I even hit that 2k character limit on discord

    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.
