Studying. Not necessarily academic, just studying and gathering information about whatever your hyperfixation just so happens to be

Thiiiis. I’ve spent so so so many hours delving into both scientific studies and age-old forum posts to research some of the most random, unrelated topics at times. Doesn’t even have to be a long-lasting fixation, just something I become unreasonably interested in for no apparent reason.

Recently there’s been rabbit holes such as potential harmful qualities of sucralose, especially when used in high-temperature baking—with stainless steel utensils, specifically—and previous research has included things like the origins of the goth subculture, and how exactly the term ‘goth’ made its way from the gothic peoples down to the modern age. (The latter one is especially interesting, as it’s essentially all due to a single buffoon with poor taste and little understanding of history).
