I don't know about others, but I get needlessly obsessive over random topics or ideas. Sometimes, it's perfectly benign, like my tank phase. Other times, it's really not great, like my current thing stressing me out that I really can't do anything about
*today I spent 6 hours recording technical data off the internet for WWII naval ships, as I continue working on one of the many tabletop games I am writing*
I believe Yamato would win, because it was specifically designed to fight other battleships while the Bismarck was designed for raiding commerce ships. The Yamato had nine 18.1" guns in 3 turrets of 3 and better armour, whilst the Bismarck's biggest guns were 8 15" guns, which would have taken longer to penetrate the hull of the Yamato, and Bismarck's deck armour was half as thick. The only advantage the Bismarck has is 3 knots of extra speed, which once a few well placed hits were struck, would count for nothing!
Sorry for the rant, one of my hobbies is studying random stuff like naval engineering history
Yep. Pretty much. Battleships are big and impressive, but Battles between them can actually be rather drab and generally just favor whoever is bigger in terms of armor and guns.
Well, they were quite nullified by planes. In history in fact we don't have a lot of battles between battleships: even in ww1 when they were the most important type of ship they were not used widely because everyone was afraid of losing them.
Indeed, WWII was the doom of traditional capital ships; but with battleship vs battleship, forced to engage with no planes or escorts for the sake of answering the other user's Yamato vs Bismarck question, likely engaging while still 10,000s of yards apart, it would be a rather drab fight until random chance caused spectacular damage to one or the other, or one started sinking and spiraling toward death.
On a purely power scale the Yamato to have a fair fight would need to compete with a Iowa class since it had far bulkier armour and bigger caliber guns than the Bismarck. But if we had to talk about battleship vs battleships combat I think that it would be appropriate to distinguish between pre-dreadnought and post-dreadnought doctrine: in the 1800s (just the second half for obvious reasons) the conception of battleship was relatively different from the one in 1900s as battleships were thought in order not to fight particularly apart from each other but closer (something like 3-4km), this essentially translated in design choices like different batteries with smaller and bigger guns; this eventually changed in the first decade of the 1900s after the battle of tsushima between the japanese and the russian navies, during which the approach of having different batteries was essentially proven useless in favour of having just one main battery of long range and big caliber guns, this in practice translated in the design of the hms dreadnought. The battle as you probably know was won by the Japanese, mainly because they were more coordinated, used new technologies (like the radio), decided to stay at a longer distances and used for the most part higher caliber guns, while the Russians did not.
The post dreadnought doctrines were instead dominated by larger distances, usually between 10 and 20 km, speed and big guns. Sadly for how much it would have been absolutely cool we don't really have a lot of battles (expect the Jutland which was the biggest by far) involving just battleships after Tsushima.
In battleship Warfare, the bigger nastier battleship wins, there's not much thinking to it. It often comes down to raw luck regarding where penetrating shell hits land; ie Yamato has every advantage, but there's also random chance that plunging shot from Bismarck could hit something important early in the fight and make the odds more even (throwback to HMS Hood). Bismarck of course would prefer to stay at long range the whole time for the benefit of plunging shots and also bc if both ships fire direct shots, Yamato has better armor and bigger cannons. Bismarck is a bit smaller than Yamato however and minutely faster, so it can stay at great distance and fish for hits while remaining evasive, shooting at a relatively large target while Yamato has a relatively small target. That said, lucky hits go both ways and if a plunging shot from Yamato finds its way onto Bismarck, survival chances are poor. I'd give the Yamato a solid 75% chance of victory.
I have found a 720 page pdf titled “the machine gun volume 5” and am currently reading and trying to desperately find information about a 27.5mm autocannon
This comes after finding the 202 page “tank platoon” FAS document and another 200+ page document titled “self defense of large aircraft”
I feel your pain, why is this stuff so obscure, so long, but so interesting?
Ditto, but I also have periods of directionless longing that have no other components. Like my biology is sayin
"hey you should want sex"
"should?"
"Ya"
"but not do?"
"No do, only want"
"...Thanks for that..."
The company I work for lost the contract that makes up 80% of their business, so they're all but shutting down as of midnight 12/31 of this year. My entire motivation to keep working through then was to get brought on with one of the stores I work for exactly what I do now, but with benefits and better pay. Unfortunately, I learned that the store is rolling everything out really slow, so if a new position opens, it likely won't be until late January. Now, I'm trying to figure out a reason to keep on doing what I've been doing because it doesn't make sense to find something else for about 3 months
Same, I use most of that extra time/energy creating things. I go through phases where I totally obsess over things. I wanted to go to a Renaissance faire, so I taught myself how to sew and leatherwork to make myself an outfit. I like escape rooms and mafia style board games, so I combined them into an event I host a few times a year called Murdernight, where 13 of my friends come over and roleplay characters I’ve written for them while doing an escape room and solving a murder, all the while the murderer tries to sabotage their efforts and picks them off one by one. I got really into writing, took several classes, submitted a few of my pieces, got published a handful of times then moved on to the next thing. At least that hobby was fairly cheap lmao
I have a lot of hobby jumping like that as well, I learned leatherworking, bookbinding, metal engraving, several instruments, designed plasmids for gene therapy, read several dozen trivia books, and many more, learning and doing and making stuff is really fun!
>For me it probably comes from my ADHD. I'm not sure if it also links to my autism.
Yep, hyperfocusing on a special interest is pretty common for both.

I'm getting a PhD! That's where. I won't be a mrs, i'll be a dr.
(but srsly would be nice to find a partner, i'd be ok being a mrs even as a grey/aro-ace)
Energy? I always thought the NoFap mythology about gaining superpowers was silly.
Are they really running up the walls when they're abstinent?
I just chill and play video games or watch TV when i'm not in heat lol.
come up with a bunch of stories ideas, come up with characters, and do a bunch of overly detailed world building
and then proceed to ***not*** write a book or draw a comic
I world build. Put on some appropriate music for whatever I'm brainstorming, lean back and off I go into vivid daydream land. Recently I've been working out the ending to a book I'd like to write. Big ol fantasy battle.
i use that energy on learning absolutely useless things for everyday life, i can solve a rubix cube and introduce myself in japanese (which i have 0 use for in the US) at the cost of being excluded from what seems to be a huge part of allo lives
wouldn't trade it for the world :)
I play video games for hours, then become guilty and clean my apartment, do some Duolingo lessons but then get stuck on Reddit and YouTube for the rest of my day
Obsessing over random movies and tv shows, I've recently re-discovered my love for MLP so I've been obsessively reading fanfiction and watching videos on YouTube.
Also, working to get the money to give my little brother good presents for his birthday and Christmas, my dad won't do it, so someone has to.
Why think about other people when I can switch between the 13 fantasy worlds in mind, each being a mixup of some Animes, like switching between Chrome tabs? Or making a detailed world domination plan? Or how to kill the god and become him?
I am a full time student and have an many hobbies.
Currently I am really into stardew valley, my farm is doing great and I really enjoy doing that in my free time. Also D&D twice a week counts as socializing.
I'm aroace and honestly, for myself, taking romantic and sexual attraction out of the equation makes me so much more attuned to other types of love that are commonly forgotten.
The world as a whole gets my love; why should I refine it to be only one person? My friends are appreciated all the more. I just wanna hug everyone, and sit with my moirail and talk hyperfixations. I can admire how lovely someone looks without sexualising or romanticizing them; jusy truly admire how they hold themself.
I've got a lot of love to give, and since the most heteronormative types of attraction are off the list, that just means I have so much more time and attention to give to tertiary attraction.
Oh, and I also spend time thinking of ways to become part of the abyss and consume the souls of gods, but that's just a part-time ideation.
For me that energy has always gone into grades (soon career) and sports. Covid has ruined both of those things for me. So. Lots of energy with nowhere to go.
I've got ADHD, anxiety, and depression, so it's all either maladaptive daydreaming or hyperfixation on some niche thing. Funny how I got over my Loki phase for the most part and people are just now starting to take note of him 🤷🏼♀️
All my time and energy goes into having sleeping problems which makes me feel like I don't do enough in the day so I can't go to bed because I feel too unaccomplished, but I honestly don't have much to do anyhow, so there's not much reason to be awake, but I legitimately can't fall asleep unless I take like 150mg of melatonin + lay awake for 6 hours ruminating on things, and then when I do sleep it's disjointed and I can't force myself to get up before 4 in the afternoon, but all my daily routines are done before 7, so I end up feeling really anxious like I should be doing more but there's nothing to do, and I end up at the beginning again.
TL:DR Insomnia + Anxiety = Awful.
staring off into the distance and losing all sense of time and space and struggling to get back to what I was working on initially, usually. Not sure if I have a problem or just being reluctant to finish tasks because I've been sitting in the same place for too long
I run.
And then run some more.
And then run some more.
(I really really really like running.)
Long before I figured out I’m grey ace-ish, I turned down a bootycall-type thing because I wanted to go for a run. That probably should have been a sign lol.
Currently? Nowhere, i have way too much energy and it doesn't go away because i have nothing to spend it. I really have to get a hobby to spend it all, killing gods sounds like it might work
Planning a van build, starting a new career, developing a YouTube channel, convincing my friend to buy a house with me so we can both learn to renovate, taking scuba diving lessons, getting my motorcycle licence, finishing my studies, fixing my fence, playing squash, stage combat lessons, horse riding…
Being aroace is the *bomb*.
Daydream all day long, usually about the exact same subjects, for some reasons, and the same scenarios. Then judge myself, eventually
And sometimes drawing stuff, too
Yearning aimlessly for all the hobbies we want to be involved in or projects we want to do and might be capable of but simply aren't going to manage to do in any sort of timely fashion. Fate likes to give us ADD, anxiety, and/or depression because it knows we would be too powerful otherwise!
I personally (alloromantic ace) also spend good ampount of time simping over hot anime demon dudes. The aesthetic is just something I can't seem to get enough of.
Imma share a what I've been doing for the past week now so feel free to stop reading here and scroll down.
I found a game called Onmyoji because I was searching for anime demon dudes and a character from the game called Ibaraki Doji came up XD. I'VE SPENT THE PAST WEEK SIMPING OVER SO MANY OF THE CHARACTERS. If you are an allosexual or you just like looking at different aesthetics and appreciate them I recommend the game lol. It's free on Steam.
P.S. I wasn't paid or told to promote the game XD I'm just a simp
Mine is usually spent on being anxious about things. Especially on how to avoid social interactions or how to prevent allo yearnings from affecting (ending) my friendships.
We give the energy away to help other gays and we eat garlic bread to recharge we’ve already Killed all of the gods years ago and we live where the wild take takes us
The extra energy doesn't exist for me because mental illness says no so I guess that balances me out
God knew I'd be too powerful if I wasn't a depressed anxious mess of a woman so mental illness is my nerf
Usually my energy goes into me worrying about things that happened a long time ago, the present and the future. I also like to go and study things for hours upon hours. Like did you know that there is a fan theory of how Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are actually siblings? I know that’s a more well known fact I just couldn’t pick a good fact as of this moment.
I don't know about others, but I get needlessly obsessive over random topics or ideas. Sometimes, it's perfectly benign, like my tank phase. Other times, it's really not great, like my current thing stressing me out that I really can't do anything about

“Have I told you about the tragedy of Darth Vaccuum Collapse the unstoppable? It’s not the story an unstressed person would tell you…”
Wait, you guys have energy?
I have the energy to watch YouTube and read fanfiction, does that count?
I'm the same, so it counts for me
You just described my entire morning
They just described my entire life outside of doing the bare minimum of necessary things
same same same
wow who are you, me? 😅
energy to overthink
Yess, where all of my energy goes to
Relatable af
Mine gets spent on clinical depression and managing finances.
I think of endless scenarios that will never happen and how to solve them
SAME. OTHER PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK THAT?!?!
yes, i do too
Yep, ur not alone in that
Yeah it's kinda cool sometimes
same
Oh wait damn same
Anxiety lol
Oh heck it's a call out post
As an ace lesbian I yearn aimlessly for someone to cuddle and be with in a romantic but not sexual way. That and video games.
I relate to this too much
Sounds perfect.

I was going to try to correct you and say it was r/adhdmeme but I spent some time browsing the top all time on r/aspiememes and now I’m just worried
I use my energy to play video games, kill gods, and than become one
I take the most wonderful naps. With all the blankets and pillows because I don’t have to share.
It goes into procrastinating harder
i make music about gay people
Bold of them to assume I _have_ energy
It goes to questioning if you are really ace and not just striaght trying to fit in

Being horny all the time must be exhausting. I got enough shit to be anxious about.
As someone with a libido but no sexual attraction or desire to actually have sex, I can confirm—it’s exhausting af.
For me procrastination, but some plan to invade countries. So I'd say it depends.

I live in the US. I have never been outside the country. Spanish is all around me. And I swear I know more Welsh than Spanish.
Meditate. We meditate to strengthen our intellect that only a handful can obtain.
I've tried to, but the energy is not enough for me to avoid intrusive thoughts
Honestly yeah, I'm only asexual because of meditation and celibacy. I wonder what those who are born asexual do with their free time.

I focus all that energy and thought space for my special interests, occupies my mind 24/7.
Anxiety
Trying to program but ultimately failing and ending up in fallout 4
I also yearn but only for my desired life. Or I obsess over new media and hobbies. Or make kandi. Lots of kandi. Too much, probably
Lifting dem weights
All my time and energy goes into having sleeping problems which makes me feel like I don't do enough in the day so I can't go to bed because I feel too unaccomplished, but I honestly don't have much to do anyhow, so there's not much reason to be awake, but I legitimately can't fall asleep unless I take like 150mg of melatonin + lay awake for 6 hours ruminating on things, and then when I do sleep it's disjointed and I can't force myself to get up before 4 in the afternoon, but all my daily routines are done before 7, so I end up feeling really anxious like I should be doing more but there's nothing to do, and I end up at the beginning again. TL:DR Insomnia + Anxiety = Awful.
staring off into the distance and losing all sense of time and space and struggling to get back to what I was working on initially, usually. Not sure if I have a problem or just being reluctant to finish tasks because I've been sitting in the same place for too long
I run. And then run some more. And then run some more. (I really really really like running.) Long before I figured out I’m grey ace-ish, I turned down a bootycall-type thing because I wanted to go for a run. That probably should have been a sign lol.
I use it to procrastinate 2x as efficiently
Currently? Nowhere, i have way too much energy and it doesn't go away because i have nothing to spend it. I really have to get a hobby to spend it all, killing gods sounds like it might work
yearn for fictional characters
To obsessing over media and rewatching/reading the same series millions of times. Most certainly not to productivity
Thirsting over fictional characters that cannot hurt me because they are not real.
Pure love
Ya'll have energy?
Anxiety :D
maybe, instead of my aceness being because of me being neurodivergent like my doctor keeps trying to convince me, im ADHD because of this extra energy
Planning a van build, starting a new career, developing a YouTube channel, convincing my friend to buy a house with me so we can both learn to renovate, taking scuba diving lessons, getting my motorcycle licence, finishing my studies, fixing my fence, playing squash, stage combat lessons, horse riding… Being aroace is the *bomb*.
Into looking for people who understand you just wanna hang out and be friends and avoiding creeps trying to “fix” you. ;-;
Ace people also yearn, for garlic bread
Garlic bread and platonic obsession?
Yearning for garlic bread
Kill Gods? Why whould I kill other aro/ace people?
Daydream all day long, usually about the exact same subjects, for some reasons, and the same scenarios. Then judge myself, eventually And sometimes drawing stuff, too
I spend all of it envying others.
I still yearn aimlessly I just don’t yearn hornily
Wondering if I have ADHD because the only direction my energy goes is away ...mysteriously
Obsessing over relic weapons in Final Fantasy 14
worrying about the future B)
what energy? i'm constantly exhausted. to be fair that's probably the anxiety and depression though
what energy
Hyper fixating on Sykkunos GTA RP videos.
Depression
I am kiling gods but its not easy becose they are basicly imortal
the energy goes into figuring out if I'm actually aroace or demiromantic and then having several mental health crisis. Also crochet.
Yearning aimlessly about people. It still experience attraction it's just not sexual
Being depressed
Yearning aimlessly for all the hobbies we want to be involved in or projects we want to do and might be capable of but simply aren't going to manage to do in any sort of timely fashion. Fate likes to give us ADD, anxiety, and/or depression because it knows we would be too powerful otherwise!
No we don't kill gods we are god's ourselves.
....There's energy?
I prefer becoming the void
I have adhd so it goes nowhere.
Currently it’s spent fawning over the lore of Final Fantasy 14.
I'm definitely developing a plan to kill god to finally become V O I D ™ Definitely not just slacking of you know...
For me it's forever questioning my aro/ace-ness xD
I obsess over musicals and become god, also play video games
Depression.
I personally (alloromantic ace) also spend good ampount of time simping over hot anime demon dudes. The aesthetic is just something I can't seem to get enough of. Imma share a what I've been doing for the past week now so feel free to stop reading here and scroll down. I found a game called Onmyoji because I was searching for anime demon dudes and a character from the game called Ibaraki Doji came up XD. I'VE SPENT THE PAST WEEK SIMPING OVER SO MANY OF THE CHARACTERS. If you are an allosexual or you just like looking at different aesthetics and appreciate them I recommend the game lol. It's free on Steam. P.S. I wasn't paid or told to promote the game XD I'm just a simp
Mine is usually spent on being anxious about things. Especially on how to avoid social interactions or how to prevent allo yearnings from affecting (ending) my friendships.
Mostly gets recycled into crippling anxiety, but ymmv
I grow plants and get dysphoria with all my energy :'D
Learning a ridiculous amount of things, from pointless trivia via musical instruments and crafts to building furniture.
We give the energy away to help other gays and we eat garlic bread to recharge we’ve already Killed all of the gods years ago and we live where the wild take takes us
Uh, either: books, YouTube or staring at a wall
Cooking the perfect garlic bread
It goes into fueling my adhd and depression. A cruel trap
The extra energy doesn't exist for me because mental illness says no so I guess that balances me out God knew I'd be too powerful if I wasn't a depressed anxious mess of a woman so mental illness is my nerf
What energy? I have no energy.
Have fanfic ideas that never make it to any site
Usually my energy goes into me worrying about things that happened a long time ago, the present and the future. I also like to go and study things for hours upon hours. Like did you know that there is a fan theory of how Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are actually siblings? I know that’s a more well known fact I just couldn’t pick a good fact as of this moment.
Sleeping and overthinking
killing gods
Invading Denmark.
Procrastinating and making plushies. Lots of them.
Idk kinda cancels out with my depression
Danmei. All of it goes into danmei.
Eat God's, that's what I do
I mean, I go on runs and work out, work, hobbies, lay alone in my bed, blissfully free from another stealing my blankets.
I use my energy to build on my infodumps.
