The thing about ADHD is that the "lack of reward chemicals in your brain" doesn't just mean that you don't want to do any tasks that don't feel particularly yummy :(, it means that your brain will look at chores and tasks that need to be done like "doing this would be painful and tedious for absolutely nothing to gain from it, Do Not Do That." The same thing that your brain tells you about everything else that would feel really bad and hurt the entire time that you're dying. The part of your brain that stops you from doing the thing is the same part that keeps you from shoving your arm into a wood chipper.
With unmedicated, unmanaged ADHD, "I have to do this assignment or I fail and my life will be ruined and I die" feels like a SAW trap, every single time.
Dentistry
When you go to a dentist, and they massively overcharge you for a basic cleaning, but also tell you that one of your molars is 'cracked' and 'dying, if not dead' you'll probably take it with a grain of salt, especially if you then check with another dentist who says there is only some minor damage from past cavities.
That makes sense, right? Disregarding the suspiciously expensive analysis from the dentist who seems to be trying to get you to pay excessive amounts of money?
I thought it made sense.
Sure, the tooth felt kinda weird, and I'd recently experienced some issues with all my teeth from having a sinus infection bad enough it made my teeth shift from the swelling and shrinking of the flesh in my jaws.
Sure, there was a point where the tooth in question shifted enough that I ended up biting it painfully, only for it to settle down again over the next day or so, and go back to feeling only slightly weird.
But surely I can't have a broken or breaking tooth in my mouth and not notice it! Surely I'd feel if a tooth was dying/dead!
Yeah guess who just swallowed about a third of a molar and needs a near-emergency tooth extraction to pull the remaining tooth out sometime soon?
I'm just glad it apparently is dead, and therefor not causing horrendous pain by being a literal broken tooth in my mouth.
I won't always act like it, but yeah.
Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.
Yep.
Sometimes toads appear around the house, especially in the evening or at night. The dogs are scared of them, the cats just think they are rocks apparently, and the chickens will devour any they can catch, but sometimes we find them first and get a picture of them.
This one is a bit smaller than a baseball, and vanished just a few seconds after this picture.

Sleep? What is that?
What stage of bad health is it when you realize you can't do things that involve thinking after being up for only 12 hours?
Because if I get up at 9am, and try to do something at 9pm, I quickly become delirious and progressively more insane.
Humans are supposed to healthily be up for 16 hours at a time nigh indefinitely, not fall apart 12 hours in. Sure there's the thing about not making important decisions an hour or two before bed, but I apparently can't handle making informed or even rational decisions if its been 12 hours since I got up.
Randomizers
How to make a beloved game more replayable: Stick it in a blender and try to play whatever comes out.
Still not good enough? Mix in another game or two!
Pokemon randomizers make it harder to metagame your way past stuff, you end up having to actually play, this and other fusion randomizers turn games into much more involved things.
Imagine playing chess to determine which spaces your checkers can move on another board, all to figure out who gets to go next at jenga.

Streaming Must Be Dumb
Why else would I have started doing it everyday but sunday.
Ahhh, cooking a pizza at 3:33 am because HONGER.
Currently using a Minecraft mod as my media player, since it lets my computer handle it without destroying my browser or YouTube history.
...
This mod is better than the YouTube Music app.
I could even add ambience by letting the regular game play in the background.
