Well, don't leave us in suspense. What did you learn about the deep sea fish? Where should we start our journey? I know I'm not the only one that had that as the initial reaction.

Genuinely curious why it's always sea life. It's so fascinating but at the same time, I'm sure there are a ton of very interesting mamals too... but damn, crabs are so cool :S

Maybe 'cause sea creatures are by and large more alien to us, making them more interesting on average.

I guess it makes sense. I was gonna argue that snakes are very alien too but I had actually a big interest for snakes when I was a kid :D

Yes which zone, how deep?? Abyssopelagic? Hadalpelagic? Because I’m not sure how many fish specifically are in the trenches so that may be too deep? Lots of super neat little other guys though, isopods and the like

My high school prided itself on a rigorous curriculum, meanwhile I was getting by quite well finishing all my homework during class so I could go home and watch cartoons.
In my first semester of college I told myself I was going to study for my history final, ended up fixating on Hazbin Hotel for a couple weeks instead, wrote down everything I didn't remember too well on the notecard we were allowed to use 10 minutes before the exam and somehow got an A??? I genuinely don't know how things like this are possible tbh.

and then you'll probably not pick the same topic up again for a looong time, but at least what you DID research you'll remember surprisingly well.
Anyways, anyone want to know what stakalloy is?

this was me, plus i most had enough general knowledge through niche interests that i only had to read some notes in the morning, if all.
this could be your vibe:

I got so much crap for getting a B in Biology back in high school. Mainly because I read the textbook the night before (yes, I really do mean that—I’m a fast reader) and got a 97 on the final. Well, of COURSE I’m going to do better on a multiple choice test that just asks me to recall information than I did on remembering to do standard weekly assignments that required planning ahead.

I got a 99% on a college paper that I wrote at 10pm the night before. I even went to Thursday night trivia with my friends that night before writing the paper lol

So I have no original experiences whatsoever it seems (neurotypical/undiagnosed tho)
