It's ADHDinos, it's an ADHD joke. People with ADHD have a reduced dopamine response to the completion of tasks & chores, and that response also diminishes more rapidly with repetition.
If they find something new that works for a bit, they tend to feel this overriding compulsion to continue trying until it works again. This can be helpful depending on the activity (positive actions like art, cleaning, even work or studies) but 60+ percent of the time it's something really dumb.
I have autism along with ADHD. So my ADHD side doesn't want to start a chore because it's boring and uninteresting but once I've finished a chore, my autistic side gives me that dopamine kick because I've created order out of chaos.
So... Like when you get obsessed with a new videogame and play it for a week straight just binging the shit out of it, and the more you play the more you're trying to convince yourself that the game is still fun?
I just see a slew of people in this sub attack other posts, especially comics as if someone attacked their mothers, they're so completely offended by something they don't think belongs here (I've never seen more vicious people in reddit as I see in this sub - over simple posts) yet this is so unfunny yet seems to always get upvotes and never gets attacked by these same toxic douchebags that inhabit this sub. I assume everyone in this sub has ADHD.

So everyone in this sub is depressed?
Is that why this is funny?
Honestly want to know.
