Earlier, I found a Lilith Sternin video pop up on my youtube feed and before I knew it countless hours had passed as I watched one Cheers/Fraiser video after another.

I guess trudging through the swamp of Anitubers that I dislike a while back and it led me to two channels I'm now subscribed to:
-Noralities, for being one of the few Modern Anitubers who I like and a video talking about her dislike of the isekai genre. Which led to...
-Mo Black, for making a 4-part video talking about the isekai genre and one of my fave video essays I've seen. It lead to a video of him being one of the few Youtubers defending High Guardian Spice (granted, the HGS defense & the 4-Part Isekai essay came from articles on Medium . Com, but even so).
Guess you can say going through the storm lead to a rainbow at the end!

I went to Wikipedia to look up information on a video game and somehow ended up reading about ancient nation-states of Central Asia.

I'm ashamed to admit it but the... incident last year caused me to go down the Chris Chan rabbit hole and see how much more messed up things have gotten since the Frederik Knudsen video.

imdb trivia sections used to get me I used to do that too. Shame what the IMDb trivia sections have become. They have just become endless scrolling of boring “facts” .. look nearly everyone has been in a Marvel property, yet nearly every entry has to let us know the movies cast had someone that has been in a Marvel property.

A long time ago I decided to check out if anybody else on the internet followed pro wrestling. It led me to some strange, strange places.

That damn Geno Samuel documentary series! I've actually avoided it. I feel like it was be 60+ hours of my life I'd never get back. The subreddit and the Wiki were enough lol

Know way more about Chris Chan, Unkle Adams, WingsOfRedemption, and LowTierGod than I'd like.
Just something oddly compelling about content made about them, rather than the content they make.

One of my biggest problems is I'll get preoccupied by reading about something else. I would constantly do that with Wikipedia, start on something like "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and somehow end on "Chernobyl".

After refusing to give him attention for years out of principle, I one day finally got to reading about Elliot Rodger, the 2014 Isla Vista murderer. I now pretty much have an encyclopedic knowledge of his life; the dude’s narcissism and eccentricity were genuinely so cartoonish and over-the-top that I couldn’t look away.

I remember learning a whole bunch of terminology once just due to checking if there is a term for a female butler.
(The answer is no, butler is gender neutral, even if female butlers are not especially common. Jeeves was not a butler, but a valet, though he did fill in as a butler at least once for someone as a favor. Alfred is both a butler and a valet. A butler can also be a majordomo. Basically, butlers were/are in charge of the wine collection of their masters. This was often a significant portion of their master's material wealth, so it makes sense they were effectively the head servant to be entrusted with that. A valet is a personal servant and tends to go places with the master, rather than staying home like the butler, though some butlers, like Alfred, do seem to end up doing both, especially if they're not part of a household with multiple servants. Additionally, Alfred is also often Bruce's chauffeur. Bruce needs to hire more people.)

I was prescribed cannabis for a knee injury a few years back and spent 6 hours looking up old baseball stats on the reference page,

TV Tropes and Who's Line Is It Anyway? videos tend to burn up several hours of my days lol
Anytime I do research for a fantasy booking project, expect me to end up going way off topic and end up reading about a completely different company. I once went from reading about the ROH careers of Daniels, Low Ki and AmDrag, to studying RVD's ECW TV Title reign, to learning about the complete history of the Dungeon of Doom. And no, I have no idea how I got from B to C...
