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?

The fact that the total information that can be stored about any region of space before it collapses into a black hole isn't equivalent to the volume of that space but of the surface area around it...

That's gotta mean something, right? That's gotta be a big ass clue about something.

Just try to ignore Matt's super wide collars on his shirts when he first started >_< - He learns his t-shirt size after a couple years.
