Maybe it’s just the adhd, but I can somehow remember the lines of entire episodes of the office, but can’t remember a single thing from highschool algebra

That's because you only took algebra once, but you probably binged the office like >5 times, plus whatever random episodes you catch on tv, plus quotes that get tossed around on reddit. The cultural saturation's lot higher if you don't use algebra at work or something.

Though an ADHD brain is also just incredibly bad at prioritizing which information is important and which isn't

I remember so many insignificant details, like what clockspeed that one online friend I barely talk to has set his gpu to that one time when he tried overclocking seven years ago.

But actively working on and practicing stuff I need to know for an exam? Studying that subject every day? Nah, can't remember any of it.

Isn't that (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a? It's been a while...

Man I mean even during school when I actively had algebra, I couldn’t remember any of that shit even if my life depended on it; goes in one ear and right out the other without even touching my brain
