Just reached for the fan remote while seeing this.
I just like to feel the wind in my hair.
The various spellings of vidya always get a nose exhale laugh.
The best part is this is the relaxation zen.
We have pretty bad thunder storms around where I live, so my fans get turned off every now and then. Since two of them have digital switches I have to turn them back on once the power is back on
there must be a way to “boot” those on “power on” 🤔
i hate that about my air-purifier. i wish it had an old-school manual switch and not those fucking modern touch buttons.
3 reasons why I need the fans running all the time
- keep the air moving, also two of the fans 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the “computer room” are fans with filters on them to keep the air cleaner during wildfire season.
- I have a huge Dewalt fan pointed the specially made cabinet I keep my PC and server in that keeps the air moving through the cabinet (that’s the fan with the analog switch, a twisty switch. I even had my boddy weld together some aluminum sheets together to make sure all the air that big fan moves goes into that cabinet and then out the top for maximum heat dissipation…but there’s some computer fans on top pulling air up and out that continue to run even when the power goes out and my two bigass UPS power supplies have to do their thing
- I’m hearing impaired and my ears ring really loud without the fans running.
hey wait a minute
I could never do that
(I have audio sensitivities)
My girlfriend complains when I turn on the fan when we go to sleep. Can’t sleep without it
Am I ADHDnant?
Found out I was within the last year. Explained a lot about my childhood, and adulthood for that matter. I slipped through the cracks for so long because I was never ‘hyperactive’.
I might be in the same boat. I have my evaluation scheduled later this month
Was it helpful? I’ve got a nagging suspicion on some stuff myself, but it’s hard to justify the cost with “do I actually gain anything by formally knowing”.
knowing has helped my mental health a lot. i’m slowly unlearning constantly blaming myself for being messy or not doing things like “a normal person”. adhd is a disability, and it does make life harder, just knowing that helps a little with the guilt
Knowing was slightly helpful, in a “Well, now at least I know what’s lacking and that it’s not laziness, but focus.”
On the other hand, getting medicated has been… I hesitate to say explicitly life-changing, because at this point in my life it’s not really changing anything essential about how I live my life… but it has greatly improved my quality of life. Little things, being able to tackle everyday chores without massive executive dysfunction, or being able to focus on tasks for longer. And my sleep is actually restful now. That’s fantastic too.
And the lack of misophonia when I’m medicated is heavenly. Never knew what it was like to not despise every little irregular sound around me. They’re still bothersome, but not to the point where I want to bash my skull in against the edge of a table after hearing people indistinctly chattering for more than ten minutes.
Thanks for sharing, I’ll have to consider that benefit.
misophonia can go away on adhd meds? i think it’s time i stopped procrastinating on getting those
It was astounding and unexpected. I’m still not the biggest fan of irregular sounds, but not having to refocus on them every time they happen is amazing.
yeah man i’d give a lot for them to just cause me annoyance, instead of the usual “i want to hit something, run, and then cry”
Did you get a diagnosis for it yet? I’m pretty sure I have ADHD but I’m still waiting on one.
Is it important to get one asap or does it not matter how long it takes?
Shout out to fans that never break even though you user them for years
I feel like i must surely need to oil them or do maintenance, but I never have and yet they function.
It’s actually a lot more intensive to be turning the fan on and off, so keeping it running is just good maintenance
My wife needs one of those. We’ve had multiple fans die on us, and then the replacement always makes a slightly different drone which drives her nuts until she’s used to it
Hunter Original for the win… Had mine for 22 years, my Mom has my grandmother’s of 71 years, both still working
I’ll watch 4 or more videos that I’ll jump between tabs of on my PC, but I’ll only have one playing at a time. Watch one for like 5 minutes, attentions lulls, switch to another. Later, the attention for one of the others increases, so I’ll jump back to it.
It’s like…staggered consumption. My attention is weird.
You mean normie brain?
I can’t split my attention across 5 pieces of media like that; I can only focus on one thing at a time. Cause, you know, I have ADHD.
Different people deal with the lack of focus from ADHD differently. For some of us, being able to constantly swap between activities lessens the mental strain caused by ADHD. For others, having multiple things to do allows them to focus on one of them.
You can tell when my viboe game gets serous because I pause my emotional support YouTube video.
Yeah, that’s why sandbox games are great cause you can watch something longform while solving puzzles. I also got through a lot of house while putting together miniatures…
The craziest shit about getting on an SNRI as opposed to an amphetamine based med was how quiet my space is compared to before.
I feel bad because when I game watch videos on another screen while the game is muted on the other.
Hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars wasted on voice acting and sound design. Most of the stuff I play isn’t immersive, though, more narrative driven/puzzle based.
That’s just low attention span.
Yeah the fan checks out, cant be without the hum, no sound means dead servers that aint good so there needs the be humming
I wish it was just humming, but it’s more of a reeeee
What’s with the fan?
The whirr of a fan is regular and unchanging, which helps drown out irregular noises. Irregular noises are hell.
