Ah yes, I love reading stuff and piping the infornation straight to the void.
cat /dev/random > /dev/null
A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null
cat /dev/random | tee /tmp
At least there's one huge benefit of forgetting stories so you can watch the same movie, read the same book, read the same comic pretty often.
In exchange your life sucks in every way. lol
Nothing like getting 75% through an audiobook I just bought and realizing at the twist that I've read it before lol
At least for me it only takes till about the second or third chapter for the entire book to coming flooding back to me.
I'm at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.
Lately, I've been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don't want to throw away the letter!
I just wish I could fully complete a series.
I have so many goddamn shows that I love but have never been able to complete.
Then I end up rewatching the same thing I always do.
maybe because they had ADHD memory problems, so they forgot to upvote instead downvote
How? You're reading it because it interests you, so you will likely never forget it.
(Not the person you originally replied to) I forget things no matter how important or interesting they are to me, I have to make serious efforts to remember most things.
I thought this was somewhat common in the neurodiverse "specialist"/hyperfokus part. My bad.
I think that’s more common for autism. My brother is autistic and that characteristic is very true for the things he is interested in. While there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD, there are some big differences as well.
