Dive
Dive means to jump into a topic, situation, or interest fast and with full focus. Online, it also has a casual "deep research" vibe when someone starts going hard on one subject.
People use dive when someone goes from zero to fully locked in, whether that is a hobby, a rabbit hole, or a real-life situation they need to understand quickly. It gives a picture of someone going in deep instead of skimming the surface, so it reads as curious, intense, or a little obsessive in a good way.
