this seems like something that would get built in dwarf fortress

I have a fold3 as well, personally have found the battery life to be fine. Maybe because my previous phone was 6 years old when I switched so I had low standards for battery. Although, I definitely don't need to charge 3 times a day.

If nobody else had said fold3, I was gonna post: I have a fold3 and I love it. I can see how people could see it as a dumb gimmick, but for me it can legitimately function as my main portable media device (ebooks, internet, keeping notes, video content, sudoku, emulated games if I attach a controller, showing people pictures, etc) in a way that a regular phone would feel way too cramped for, while also just fitting in my pocket so I can take it everywhere without a second thought - which would be a much bigger pain with a regular tablet. It's just really nice having a full-sized book in my jeans pocket in a waiting room, as a painless part of my "everyday carry".

Downside (for me) is people sometimes see me fold/unfold it and want to start a conversation about how weird it is, when I'm an extreme introvert and just wanted some silent device time. I guess this might be an upside for extroverts, but then they might be less interested in being glued to a large pocket-screen in the first place.

yes, although I was really hoping for someone to ask which game that is, so I could reply "game?"

Worldbuilding (I had reason to export my onenote worldbuilding notes to a pdf recently, turns out it's over 600 pages)

Datahoarding, specifically ebooks (have over 34,000, fiction and non-fiction, classified into folders and mostly individually selected on the basis of quality although there are a couple of pre-built collections integrated in there too - nowhere near satisfied with my collection as even if you only want the best examples of something, every fictional genre or nonfictional field has subfields and subsubfields). But also to some extent emulatable games and TV shows. TV shows less so (would be happy with only a few dozen complete series, am probably getting close to "complete" to my satisfaction), but I guess my game collection is pretty big - I think I have most games up until about 1994, plus hundreds after that.

I'm currently in the process of getting an official diagnosis, which is why I have some somewhat prepared answers on the intensity level of my interests.

I understood the terminology but after googling still don't get the meme. The only results I can find are about how paracetamol during pregnancy may increase likelihood of autism - nothing about how it affects autistic people differently than neurotypicals. Hopefully OP can clarify, because I'd love to learn more.

The sun is space-based fusion power, with photon-based transmission

Literally Tolkien's perspective on worldbuilding. Authors are "subcreators", doing little versions of what their creator did, having been made in his image.

GEB is pop science, it's not math heavy at all
