  • Hyperfocusing on Hyperfixation

    01/07/2021

    Warning: This episode gets A Little Real towards the end. In this episode, we take an excellent question from Tiktok and discuss our experiences with hyperfocus, hyperfixation -- and what happens when that good, good dopamine wears off, and you're on to the next thing, the next idea, the next Netflix binge-- but what do you do with that anger, that resentment, that feeling that you just can't stick to anything long enough to make it worthwhile.

Episode Description

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network 

Show Name: Hyperfixation Nation

Episode Title: Weird but true 

Episode #8

You are listening to Hyperfixation Nation, the podcast with your host Blake. In this episode of Hyperfixation Nation I will be talking about some questions/brain twisters and weird facts about the world. These facts will make you laugh, will leave you puzzled, and make you question everything you know, hopefully at least.  

Segment 1: Intro

Hello! So I have been wanting to do this episode for a while because I always have these facts in my back pocket and I like starting debates with the brain twisters because it spices life up! I always enjoy learning cool little pieces of trivia that maybe will help me win a game show some day, who knows

Segment 2:Cool facts

So these are some cool facts about the world that I have found over the course of my life and thought were really cool. I actually have a note on my phone where I put new ones whenever I find one. I also did a little research for this episode but a decent amount of these are facts that I have come upon randomly.

  • Scotland's national animal is unicorn
  • Australia is wider than the moon - moon is 2,113 miles wide and australia is 2,485 miles wide

  • Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur
  • An 11 year old accidentally invented ice pops
  • Warm water increases dopamine so we are more creative in the shower so if you’re struggling with a problem that involves thinking outside the box, take a hot shower
  • Supermarket apples can be a year old!
  • Wasabi paste is often actually horseradish instead of real wasabi because wasabi is expensive
  • People used to say prunes when taking pictures - how did that change to cheese?
  • Competitive art used to be an olympic event
  • Cat pee glows under black light - ew but cool!
  • J-lo is the reason we have google images in the search engine - so many people wanted to see pics of her 2000 grammys green dress that google added the feature
  • British military tanks can make tea 
  • A blue whales heartbeat can be detected from up to 2 miles away
  • Easter island heads also have bodies - what the heck happened to them?
