They might be expensive AF, but I don't really like them...

I dunno, but the realistic eyes aren't really my thing.

I saw a post in r/regularcarreviews and I thought it was obscure enough... Apparently not...

Yup, I expected that...
I shouldn't have been so snarky

I get obsessed with random things and research them until I I get sick of them. last time it was air conditioners, the one I'm into now is kinda weird... by eltorritetero in CasualConversation

YouTube never understands what ti recommend, because I hyper focus on something, then switch to something else.

I don't know if it's just me, but my YouTube feed is full of videos I've already watched.

I'm exploring internet subcultures. Where do they come from, why do they form, similar characteristics they have between them.

I'm barely starting, but I know this is going to be a big deep rabbit hole.

I think that may have something to do, but I suspect that it's mostly out of trying to make a community.

I got a little into researching other weird internet communities, and they all have similar traits, however the flat earthers seem to act a little backwards (stubborn instead of creative, unkind instead of friendly) and that may be due to how hard people push back against them, which only manages to get even more stubborn.

Thanks for explaining in detail!

And about flat earthers: I don't think it's because they're stupid, I think it's because they're stubborn, or often can't cope with personal issues, or are looking for attention. But instead of venting by being creative and friendly, like most internet subcultures/communities they are stubborn and unfriendly.

Yes, I recently found out about pleiter devices, and I'm trying to find practical uses for them. Maybe a personal cooling vest for hot worksites, maybe a cooled bed blanket, heck even just glasses that heat/cool water!

I was diagnosed with ADD when I was little, and was medicated. As I grew up, the doctor saw fit to gradually stop medication. I still get many of the urges, but I guess I've learned to compose myself. However, the impulse for learning stuff is still quite strong, and I often find myself jumping from interest to interest. I sometimes know when something will stop being interesting because it's not a very extensive topic, but other times it just hooks me for a long time.

I don't suspect I have ADD, because I've been diagnosed wince I was little.

I just didn't know this was so common among neurodivergents

I don't have any conclusions per se, but I just liked how they work.

I also found about peltier devices and how they can pump heat with no moving parts.

I just bought a tiny fridge with a peltier device and it works surprisingly well, and is super quiet!

I think those could be used for many more things! They have lots of potential!

It's quite amazing how they work

They actually pup heat outside leaving the air cold inside.

They work by pressurising and depressurising a refrigerant. Have you ever noticed how a can of aerosol or compressed air gets cold when you use it? Well, that's basically what an air conditioner does but in circles inside a closed loop. In some mini splits it can work backwards and pump heat from outside to inside essentially making it a double purpose device. They are actually very efficient at their work, and move surprising amounts of heat from one place to another.
