I'm a dude and I have ADHD and I also do this. It's probably an ADHD thing.

The adhd version of this is that you end up with 37 new tabs in the background. Who in turn spawn even more

I don't have ADHD and I definitely do the wikipedia rabbithole thing.

Same. I'm neurtypical af (not a flex, just not interesting) and I'll go down rabbit holes from time to time if I find something to be interesting. And it's weird, my parents took me to Gettysburg to see the battlefields as a kid and it was boring as fuck. I have my own kids now and I'm debating taking them to Gettysburg to see the battlefields.

I think, as I've grown to learn more about the world, I make more connections to my own personal experiences, and so I find more things interesting. I can reasonably say I've experienced a lot, and so I find a connection with more random shit than I did when I was younger.
