Obviously I have no idea if this works for you, but for me, it comes down to this:

  • The Cycle of Hobbies I jump from one to another without any schedule or plan. Oftentimes I take interest in a new variation of one of my hobbies, but other times I just pick up old projects that (for no apparent reason) are interesting again. But(!) I (by pure chance) have a pool of hobbies that are different enough, which makes switching between them easier.

  • enjoy it while it lasts I stopped caring about finishing a video game. I may pick it up in the future (or not) but that does not lessen the enjoyment it’s giving me in this very moment.

  • stop it, if it starts to suck I am that I learned to stop reading a book I do not like, to stop watching a series I don’t enjoy or to box a project that becomes to tedious to finish. If it becomes interesting again in a few months or years, I will gladly try it again but if not, it probably wasn’t worth my time anyway.

So long story short:

I burn through hobbies, but I can say with confidence based on experience (and a pinch of hop) that the ones that really got to me will come back eventually.

You can try to write yourself a „dopamine menu“ with stuff you know you generally like. This may at least help bridging the boredom gaps.

A way without the apostrophe could also be „Franzens Haus“ (but that’s out of style since a few decades)

There‘s a tiny detail that makes Nazis even worse than (at least non-offending) Pedos:

Beeing a nazi is a choice!

I think it's tougher for children to be left by one parent, than having a by-choice-single-parent. I think role models of any gender don't need to be your parents.

How exactly is nuclear energy safer than solar energy?

No, but it does matter who's giving the orders.

Using army for public order, why?

Fascism. Getting people used to it by making it seem necessary.
