Being ADHD helps. Then you can jump from a discussion of [Current shows where characters are wearing masks](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/current-shows-where-characters-are-wearing-masks/925335) to [Lying bastards at UPS think I’m stupid](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lying-bastards-at-ups-think-im-stupid/925395/27) to [WasTannenburg the Bloodiest Battle in History?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wastannenburg-the-bloodiest-battle-in-history/925539) and then [How can I MacGyver my new leaf blower?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-can-i-macgyver-my-new-leaf-blower/925556)
