I don't know why I have this obsession of trying to work on a problem until I intimately understand it.

I do this with math too. I don't really have to know the proofs of every result I use, but I can't help trying to at least wanting to know why something is true, even if it's just in broad strokes. I won't stop until I get it.

This ends up wasting a lot of time as I absorb details that aren't really important.

The universe's ways of leading me to shitpost:

-> fifty miles away, a river has lots of moving water
-> humans put turbines in river, which spin magnets really fast
-> alternating current is... alternated
-> power delivered to me via grid
-> power supply rectifies alternating current to DC
-> laptop uses DC to cause tiny smart rocks to think
-> think of something snarky and ironic
-> shitpost
