Short-lived is a key attribute of what "fad" means. If something stupid catches on for decades, it's not a fad.

I traveled for a wedding where they'd rented out a whole place for guests to stay. They were just a little short of rooms and the first night I had to share a room with a friend. Older than me, has ADHD (I think I do too, but he has it in spades), kind of a mess. I woke up in the morning and couldn't find my glasses. Sure enough, he got up before me, grabbed mine without knowing they weren't his... Got them back later slightly mangled. Good times.

He wasn't dumb, but he could be startlingly oblivious about some things.

Well, people do make some pretty bad life choices sometimes.

Not just control. Manipulation, subtle and not-so-subtle.

And sometimes it's every couple hours always when in the middle of something else, and days later I still haven't managed to remember to do it at a moment i can actually do it.

That many donuts would be better for me because if you gave me 17 of those donuts I certainly wouldn't eat all of them. I think I'd be done around 3. I'd probably just keep sipping on that coffee until it was gone though.

Some kind of broth or bouillon would be good in it too. Hot sauce. Garlic.

I add those kinds of things to porridge too sometimes. Savory instead of sweet porridge should not be ruled out.

Here's an another idea for oats: basically make Mac and cheese except with oats instead of pasta. Whole oats if you can get them.

Chilli is s great thing to learn to riff with. You almost can't go wrong adding things to it. What you list here is a good starting point, but I'd almost certainly add onions and peppers to it.

Farro or cracked wheat can add a little meaty texture to a veg chili. The best veg chilli I ever had had sweet potato, something I'd never have thought of.

I'll avoid the word normal, but definitely not something most people would ever do. (It's the sort of thing I might do though.)

Obviously I don't know the details of your back pain, but I would caution you that doing stuff like that (focusing intently on something in front of you, possibly bending over slightly, for an extended period of time) is probably not good for your back.
