Wait? YouTube and audio books at 3x speed is an ADHD thing? Man, is my whole personality just ADHD?

I think it’s also a blind people thing. So there’s that…

Edit: I heard about it in a podcast (maybe 20k Hz or 99pi?) and they demo’d text-to-speech at 5x. Listening to 5x at 3x was incomprehensible.

Some of em painfully slow! The readers of Fredrik Backman books I swear are in slow motion!

I speedrun lectures too. I skip the live one and just watch a recording at 2x speed

That's the ticket! Webinars too. So many use 12 words even 4 words would have been enough. Not that I'm better when I'm hosting but when I'm listening I want just the meat.

Without a doubt! Who knows when I'll come back to reality once I'm gone.

Omg, I wish this had occurred to me when I was in school.

"Yes, I'm requesting an accommodation to video every lecture because I can't stay awake or retain anything from them at 1x."
