Do you leverage randomness positively towards some constructive end? (lemmy.world)

I don't understand the question. What randomness?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The most random thing I ever did was some "man on the street" questions to random people when I was in NYC for a day (which is not just random, but a bit out of character for me). The best thing that happened was asking people what the best way to Carnegie Hall was when I found myself outside the building while just walking around.

This old dude with the most sterotypical New Yorker accent was like "What are you fucking stupid? It's right fucking there!"

Purposefully straying from a topic? Talking at people? Unprompted trivia? Number generation?

I don't really see it as randomness. More of a craving for novelty and a constant stream of consciousness. I was talking with another another ADHD person today and it might seem random, but every change in the conversation had a logical connection to the things before it. We both were content to flow with the conversation is it naturally moved between topics.
