I have to read out loud to myself to finish a book or an article.
It has made my reading comprehension go through the roof. And I didn't understand that about myself for my first 45 years.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Back when I came into the office every day, it was a 45-minute commute. At least one day every week, I had no active memory of getting from the north side of the beltway to my house (about 20-25 minutes). I'd reach this point, and it was like someone flipped a switch, and I became aware that I existed.
I've done this with Audio Books. I've listened to 2-3 chapters, and they'll mention an assassin; Brain goes, wait, assassin? WHAT ASSASSIN? I start rolling back find out I completely tuned out 20 minutes of the story.

Motor tasks like eye movement I think would fall under autopilot. I think it increases with age and adhd
Text-to-speech is your friend here.
I use a website called "speechify" but there are a lot of options.
Still helps to read along with it, but having that auditory input in tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you've never experienced.

Now I know that when people say read something they don't mean read the words but not the meaning. They mean read it and comprehend it.
Surely there's a very long German word for it.
at least 35 syllables long and you'll forget what your reading halfway through the word.
It 's not that long, I think it is called "Leselücke" (reading gap).
If you want, you could call it "Lesegedankenwanderungsamnesie" (reading wandering thought amnesia) 🤔
Attentiondefißithyperactivitydißorder
While this is more common for people with ADHD, it can happen to anyone.
True, but I only get so many opportunities to use that silly ß
Get in the habit of replacing "fuck" with "sheiße" and that problem is solved!*
*People might think you're weird/a Nazi for this, even if you're actually learning German, because people are weird
Scheiße*

This was a symptom of ADHD that I discussed with my doctor when I got diagnosed tbh

"School"
That's called "School".
I vary between spacing out, zoning out, or the already mentioned autopilot.
I did find this paper where somebody used the term “mindless reading”
Smallwood, J. (2011). Mind‐wandering while reading: attentional decoupling, mindless reading and the cascade model of inattention. Language and Linguistics Compass, 5(2), 63–77. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-818x.2010.00263.x
Seems that is the term used for it such as this talk in 2006
https://ies.ed.gov/director/conferences/06ies_conference/posters/readingtq_reichle.asp
Abstract: "Mindless reading" occurs when, during reading, our eyes continue to move across the printed page in spite of the fact that we are busy thinking about things that are often completely unrelated to the text.
I think we've got some drivers around here who drive like that.
I can sometimes do this without my attention even shifting. I'll mentally read every word individually for a while, but forget to put them together to actually understand them.

Disinterest
No I’ve done this when I was interested. This happens to me when I’m stressed about something and my brain goes off to think about it even though my eyes are going through the motions with the words on the page. Then I have to start again.
~~Cruise control.~~
Autopilot, like Szeth said below.
I use the term Autopilot
That's better. I think i mixed it up.
My brain goes into cruisepilot a lot.
I call it “ADHD” because I damn sure was thinking about 3 other things while I was reading-notreading.
