Thank you. So we can retröt now 👍
@scy
I resemble that remark🫥

@scy

"What was I getting?"

"Oh yeah. Older."

@kimlockhartga @scy
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're even older
And now you're even older
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older
And now you're older still
~~They Might Be Giants, Older, 1999, which was TWENTY SEVEN years ago.
@StarkRG @scy love them!
@kimlockhartga @scy Their kids are probably adults by now.
@StarkRG @scy They Might Be Grandparents!

@scy if there was a tune in the background associated with the exact reason you'd be fine

@scy Good old doorway effect.

@scy

🎵 "... And I'm sitting
In the kitchen sink ..." 🎶

@scy Relatable content!

@scy they were catchy

it was a very stylish decade

@ireneista @scy So stylish
@shermozle @scy but whatever else you may say about those outfits, they are designed and worn with CONFIDENCE
@ireneista @scy Also the decade of cocaine.
@shermozle @scy yes, certainly true, and also a decade-long toy commercial. some of these characteristics were more obvious than others to us when we were kids.
@scy What's love got to do, got to do with it? .... The hell am I in the kitchen for?

@scy I believe this addresses both constraints:

@scy

I resemble that.

Except for the 60s.

Ouch.

@scy MTV taught us well.

@scy

(Wait. This isn't the kitchen.)

@scy Don't worry. It happens to everyone. If it happens to you and there are witnesses, just say hello and wave goodbye.

@scy

And I ran

I ran back to the room I just left to see if that jogs my memory

@scy to be fair, your brain stores memories in chapters it differentiates with "thresholds", so it's actually very normal to forget everything when you walk through a door - stuff before that room was literally just archived away

@scy

And let's not even mention the lyrics to the Gilligan's Island theme song.

@scy sucks to steal stuff to add alt text. Be less ableist and less of a thief.
@scy How I can so much relate...
@scy "liberated for alt text"
@scy This. At least I'm not alone.

@scy @gedeonm So much the same!
My defective brain has the added…..feature…..of having random lyrics from those songs stuck in my head on repeat.

It’s making me avoid listening to music more and more.

@scy There's a very interesting reason this happens that's colloquially known as the "doorway effect." Very basically, your mind discards most of your short term memory when you leave a room unless you're actively thinking about it or have some other means of reconnecting to those memories (like holding an object related to the reason you're in a new room).
