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.
Me every time somebody asks why I use scales for everything
Why do you use scales for everything?
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?
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.
"...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..."
Me when something involves technology or Linux in general. I use Arch, btw.
And then you realize u forgot why the topic came up in the first place
I honestly have no idea how we ended up talking about trying that fermented shark thing.
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.
Those are my subjects of interest too! I'd be happy to listen to that
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.
Me lately whenever someone mentions Taylor Swift
I cant do it myself but love it when other people do this. That enthusiasm is infectious!

Ayo, another NCD member hanging out here. It makes so much sense.
