Sure, I haven't brewed beer in 3 years but I still have my equipment, so that when I get sick of building guitars, I can go back to brewing beer. But wait, what about the transition from guitar building to tabletop gaming? I guess I can store the brewing stuff and the guitar-building stuff for a year while I go down the TT gaming rabbit-hole. And then there was that quick detour into making kombucha...and then pickling stuff...
But the good news is you just kinda learn quite a bit about every hobby you pick up, so people are always impressed with how much random stuff you know.
My memory is really, really good. It's my recall that's crap. Feels more like my brain works like RAM and not a hard drive in that my memories are randomly accessed.
Not necessarily in a way where I can effectively demonstrate everything I've learned, but sure, a lot goes somewhere in the back of my memory bank. It's created job opportunities for me in disruptive tech fields because I'm just able to absorb so much in that initial hyperfocus phase, and come across like a subject matter expert on something I just heard about a couple of weeks ago. Sucks when you land in what seems to be a great position and just lose interest in the field though. Good recipe for imposter syndrome
With that I relate. I don't have knowledge, but only surface information about a variety of topics, because I fricking jump from one thing and the other, and this maddens me.
This is true, though sometimes one may unintentionally come across as a "know it all" (I know this from experience). Having an unending number of hobbies and the philosophy of "there is no such thing as useless knowledge", just leads to accruing knowledge on a wide breadth of topics and surprising depth on some of the more esoteric.
I can tell you about some of the practical efforts required to safely raise chickens in the PNW (free-range, in a yard, or chicken tractors), several forms of metal casting, basic garment construction, luthiery, gardening, archery, industrial microbiology, and a number of other things. My former boss would often ask if I knew anything about a given unusual topic that came up in conversation, just to see if he could find something that I didn't have any knowledge or experience with (really old programming languages like COBOL were among the winners). Now, I'm currently really into digital electronics, so, I'm shopping around for an oscilloscope and other equipment that would allow me to reverse engineer some of the newer protocols.
If you get bananas and frozen blueberries, you can use that as a base for any kind of smoothie, really. Unless you just don't feel like smoothies, which, valid.
I think blenders are in a category where you don't have to be ADHD to end up with a unused one in the closet. It's easy to get tired of blending and cleaning, and then they are noisy.
I bought a 1/6 scale pos off a friend years ago, just for shits and giggles to see how much power I could dump into it before it blew up. After a bit it got shelved, and sat in the garage for a couple of years. This spring I dumped another couple hundred dollars into it to get it running again.. new esc, brushless motor, batteries, some lights, and a new steering servo. Used it twice and now it's been sitting again collecting dust for the last 5 months.
I have a cheap Arrma Voltage I did this with. It was my first RC car and I had a blast with it. Then I got curious about improving it and pushing it to its limits. I put better wheels on it, some lights, and dropped a Spektrum Firma Motor in it with the Smart ESC. The thing wheelies everywhere and basically becomes a missile lmao. If you turn it upside down and go full speed, the wheels balloon like crazy.
Glances nervously between 3 dusty RC cars, 5 dusty RC planes and a dusty RC heli. Also quickly hides browser tab with a selection of RC crawlers to buy
If you that stuff rarely then there's not that high chance for it but if most of the stuff that's posted here happens to you way too often then you probably do have ADHD. The self-diagnosis is a first step in the direction of the official diagnosis so I recommend you checking out this 3-part video to see how much you relate to stuff: https://youtu.be/GyZtYzFq4WY?si=ALTuerkvM9fWC1et
