This is everyone
This is a mutual experience that many people can relate to but its mechanics is also core Adhd where this scenario is more extrme and frequent. (Possibly even with important life choices and not just hobbies)
Normalize acknowledging the smaller neurodivergent features that exists in most people as it can help them understand major ones. but do keep it distinct from “everyone has a bit of adhd/autism/anxiety” which is tonedeaf

Neurodivergents: every month
COMPLETELY unrelated, I have about $800 worth of RC equipment to make my own planes and cars, and haven’t touched it in over a year.
I want to break it out and make use of it to get my money’s worth, but apparently I don’t want to want to…
My 3 year old calligraphy set has only been used twice, and not even for the purpose they were purchased.
I’ve got over 1k in flight sim equipment that I haven’t touched in 4 years but tbf i did stick with that hobby for about 10 years
I have a really nice set of whittling knives from the time i was passionately experimenting with a borrowed knife.
Guess how much time i have whittled since acquiring that set?
In my defense apparently i missed out on a free tiny whetstone because i bought on a local farmers market rather the amazon page. From this i have convinced myself i need to master knife sharpening and maintenance skills first so i don’t abuse my set.
oh that reminds me, I need a proper whetstone, the metal rod thingy from tesco’s is just not (making it so my knives are properly) cutting it
A honing rod and whetstone fulfill different functions. You should ideally be using both for knife maintenance.
dang, what does the rod do? It was sold under the name of “knife sharpener”
So the fine edge of the blade can warp as you use it. The honing rod helps straighten that back out to improve cutting. The whetstone actually removes bits of steel in order to create a new edge. Honing should be done regularly, but using a whetstone to sharpen the blade is periodic.

Yeah. The lockpicking tools I use and want to use and can’t use is just nOrMaL bEhAvIoR u guiyzz!!
We have ADHD. One of the hallmarks is hyperfocus. We will, several times a year, sometimes a month, hyperfocus on a “hobby” and do it every moment we’re awake and not at work or school (to the neglect of eating or bathing or sleep) and then, at random, be unable to do it anymore to the point where we can’t, even if we want to.
This is an ADHD community. When you see us complaining about “normal” things, we simply aren’t putting in the thirty caveats that explain why this thing we’re complaining about isn’t “normal,” because we don’t have to explain ourselves to other people with our conditon.
And there is nothing more annoying than hanging out in a safe space for your condition and having people constantly show up to try to explain that this is “normal.” It’s not. We know it’s not. There’s books about it. Studies about it. We just shouldn’t have to explain the background details of what makes this abnormal every goddamn time!

Okay but does seeing the blender after the honeymoon period fill you with guilt about your lack of discipline to stick to something?
Aaaalmost happened to me, unti one I day I thought about putting inside a cup of milk, a banana, 1-2table spoons of greek yogurt and a vanilla icecream protein poweder scoop (from ON if it matters). I made my blender useful again and found a simple and quick breakfast :)

Warning for rule 1
Soda stream changed my life for 2 weeks.
Thank you to not speak about my hotdog toaster 😇
I have my own hotdog toaster, tyvm.
I will thank you not to discuss it.
This reminds me. I got some good quality Atta (Indian whole grain wheat flour) for making Rotis a few weeks ago. Haven’t even opened the packet yet.
Even better when you move in with someone, you have two blenders and still never use them. I’ll do smoothies tomorrow, for sure.
I swear I’ll refeed my starter any week now
Get out of my head Charles
Excuse me while I make my shake for 12:30. I know this meeting is about monkeys and such, but the shake must be done.

Update: I used my blender for another week recently and I have since forgotten about it again.
It’s how meme communities work mate, no need to link to repost. Not everyone saw it the first time. It’s all good
Yeah not criticizing, just recognized it and remembered I commented.
All good brother.
I feel so seen.
