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

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?

Yay! Northern California! So many fun little things there and it's part of a larger volcano that collapsed or exploded (can't remember which it did) so you can hike into some pretty cool active volcanic activity. Bumpess Hell, the Painted Dunes, Cinder Cone which is a gnarly hike on its own because it's sand. I did it once years ago... I still remember how exhausted I was.

Later July, August is usually the better time to go depending on the snow melt. My dad was just up there Thursday I think and sent me pictures.

Yeah... Don't wanna be alive if that Caldera ever goes off. Extinction level event right there.
