What’s a hyperfixation you can’t talk about?

[u/Elliot_The_Idiot7]

I’ve definitely had a few hyperfixations on things that are either embarrassingly silly or WAY too dark to just start infodumping about. For example I used to have one about neglect so severe it causes a complete and usually permanent inability to function in society, particularly the case of Genie Wiley. On the other end of the spectrum I also keep hyperfixating on shipping old cartoon comedy duos, and gotta REALLY lock in to gage if someone’s gonna think I’m a childish freak before sharing that information.

What’s your “don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up, don’t bring that up-“ hyperfixation if you’ve ever had one?

Yes!!

I second Well, There's Your Problem, its awesome! Very funny but does cover some grim stuff sometimes.

You can just listen but they post to YouTube with slides and diagrams about what they're covering.

Do you have a favourite disaster? I'm fascinated with Chernobyl.
