If you stored the pasta boxes at the bank, then, through the magic of compounding interest, you could have double the number of boxes 10 years from now!
I haven’t but I’m aware of it. What I wasn’t aware of is that here, in the comments under a comic making fun of the irrational bullshit adhd brains like to spend their time with, we take everything dead serious and do NOT make fun of the irrational bullshit our brains like to spend their time with. Such as when they start coming up with nonsense that a stupid box might yet be useful for while idling and waiting for the noodles to be done. I apologise for my oversight.
No worries as long as the intent wasn’t to be mean. The thought patterns of what goes on in a person with ADHD, ASD, BPD, ect… can be really hard to follow, even for us.
A lot of the memes here are what we go through every day. They’re just tempered with a bit of cynical humor. It also tends to be an avenue for us to vent about the highlighted issues, of which most neurotypical brains don’t usually have trouble with.
I guess the best way I can think of to describe the idea the comic is parodying on is that we (people with ADHD) go around life with a microscope stuck to our eyes. In that we can focus extremely painstakingly well on one subject, but as soon as we shift focus or get distracted, we tend to lose our place, sorta like flicking a slide with your finger at 1000x mag and losing that one bacterial cell.
After years of dealing with this, we tend to subconsciously build very detailed models of how things work or how someone achieved an end-result. This skill gives the appearance that we are gifted at something we just picked up when, in fact, we are just using a model we already built and adapting it to the new thing.
For the comic, we tend to not absorb a cooking time very well unless we know why it’s at that specific interval -and- what is going on (at a granular level) before it’s reached, along with what will happen after.
Instead of putting it in the trash, why don’t you figure out what you can put in the box to reuse or recycle it?
I use pasta boxes to store old pasta boxes. No waste that way, and a great inheritance for my kids.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to reuse or recycle pasta boxes when their composition includes 50% or higher of fictional materials.
This is the only correct brain worms take, why is it being down voted?
because the average person would accumulate hundreds of pasta boxes over the course of their life
Yes. Has stuff like that ever been a reason for ADHD brains to not engage in these thoughts?
You seen Hoarders, right?
