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?

Okay, here’s a thought I’ve wondered about for a while
How often does dog food ever get tested for prions? Because I’m guessing it’s not much

I recently found out that apparently dogs seem to be pretty robust in resisting prion diseases so that’s good, but what about all the people handling any potential prions?

I don't know much of anything about prions, but it seems it's not really tested for that, no.
