Wait until you get to the inner working of a pinball machine or jukebox!
Soz too busy watching how lava lamps function.
I’m still on Christmas lights

Not gonna lie very few teachers from my experience have the charisma in their teaching that an experienced Podcaster has on a topic.
I’ve had a couple for sure who I could listen for hours teach.

It is possible you have ADD or ADHD. Just saying, because this is kind of a hallmark of those illnesses. Whether it’s defiance or lack of interest.
Being curious about science podcasts is not a hallmark of ADHD. It’s just a hallmark of people who like learning about science.
But being unable or disinterested in mandatory work versus being ultra interested in voluntary work; that is a hallmark symptom of both illnesses.
