That's not really an obscure or weird thing to research...depending on what you do for a living.
I'm an electrician.
I don't know enough about wiring circuits to understand if that qualifies as weird
And within 12 hours, have forgotten 90%
I would rememeber everything that I saw.
And if I don't I'm just going to be thinking about it all night anyway
And talk about it enough to annoy people, then get upset about that.
Not really. I'd probably just play a videogame.
Can't anyone?
It seemed to me that only more neurodivergent types are the ones that would be inclined to start studying some random thing like this instead of going out to socialize.
Oh so it's to avoid socializing? Makes sense, I've at some point happily learned Arabic, bandweaving, archaeology, electrotechnics, botany to name just a few ...
I don't know if they do it to avoid socializing. I think it's just a weird obsessive thing.
