Nice to see you post a meme that's not deep fried. I like to think that was influenced by me. (lying)

Lol, it's luck of the draw I guess. I do most of my posting from my phone, so sometimes it looks good enough to me, but probably not on a bigger screen.
I mean, I do 99% of my Lemmy time on my phone, too.
Haha OMG this is perfectly on target
I just throw my hands up and think "if I need to remember it, something will remind me, hopefully before it's not too late"
same horror as realising you have dementia
This is what happens to me when I try to do math
that & also when i try to remember any number or name
my history grades always plummeted the second the dates stopped being "probably 2300BC" and the names stopped being one word
Working on my PC... Remember that I have to do something like pay a bill, open a support ticket etc... I click new tab.... While it's opening I tell myself that I just need to remember for a few more seconds but by the time the tab opens, it's gone. And I just sit there staring at the new tab wondering if it will come back to me.
Yes it is the worst and as you age your trying to figure out how much you sorta always did this and if its increasing.
I'm worried that I'll never know if I'm getting Alzheimer's.
There is enough testing now that you probably will. What stinks about it is even if we got some sort of right to die by the time you would want to you would not be competent to and early on if your taken care of its not so bad. Like being a kid again. Later though. oof. would not wish that on anyone.
I'm on medicine right now that generally gives me brain fog. I hate it. Feels horrible. At least it's temporary? Oh wait. Not as temporary as I thought, it can affect (effect?) brain fog for up to 7 years after taking it. Oh. Okay.
It's like trying to hold water in your hands.
The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it's gone.
Like trying to remember a dream
That's what I usually liken it to
Yep. The feeling of knowing you've forgotten something is so annoying, especially when its important
<Reads something I needed to know, nods head vigorously in complete understanding, closes tab...>
...
FUCK!
The worst was on stumbleupon when I would click "stumble" twice and see the most interesting page ever just to have it replaced with the next stumble. Then if you try to go back, it stumbles again... truly gone forever.
I miss StumbleUpon
CTRL + shift + T and I are very well acquainted.
On Apple devices you can hold down the new tab button in Safari for a list of recently closed tabs as well.
Edit: Shake-to-undo also works for a just closed tab.
