        Oh is that what that noise was? I thought it was from when I nearly strangled myself with my headphone cable in standing, since I’ve apparently forgot how reality works today.

        I’ve no idea what’s gone wrong, but someone else suggested weed. I wasn’t on it, but perhaps I should be.

    One time I was on a call and started panicking because I couldn’t find my phone. I expressed this panic to the other end of the line, increasingly anxious, until he went “dreamer, it’s in your hand”

    “Oh.”

      I did a similar thing. I was talking to my friend through my headphones as I was getting ready to leave the house and put my phone in my hoodie pocket. Then I put my rain coat over my hoodie and left. 5 minutes later I freaked out when I couldn’t find my phone in my rain coat pocket. My friend reassured me that I must have it because I was still talking to her but I didn’t remember what I’d done until I took my rain coat off. Was a weird experience and one that made me realise how dependent I was on my phone.

      Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.

    My daughter was in a state searching all over before she left the house, when I asked what she was looking for, she said “my phone”. My other daughter piped up " you have it to your ear, you are talking on it"

    Maybe not smoking so much weed might help with this.

    I quit smoking weed after I had been looking for my phone under the bed for half an hour - using the flashlight of my phone.

      I barely have the energy for social media in the first place. Mastadon feels like work.

          It’s not. I have a Mastadon account (made it nearly a year before BlueSky). It was work. I have to curate it and the interface is awful. BlueSky was easy.

          To be clear, I barely use BlueSky, either. I’m almost exclusively on Lemmy. But these platforms need to get their UX ducks in order, and I say that as someone who has adapted to tech and UX since the late 80s.

              Same for me. If you are interested in ease of use, instagram and x do the job AFAIK. But if you are interested in a resilient decentralized platform (and the future of humanity in a non dystopian world), bluesky is not one (although it pretends to be). So for me its mastodon and pixelfed all the way.

                FYI bridging with Mastodon doesn’t require a Mastodon account on your end, it will make your account accessible to be followed by Mastodon users, and even recieve replies from Mastodon users if they also bridged their accounts.

                  I’m confused, then. Do I bridge it from Bluesky?

                  I clicked your link but it didn’t make sense from my end.

    One time when my kids were little I was at Walmart and I suddenly realized I didn’t know where my son was and he was just little. So I was like, oh my god, where’s Buddy? Where’s Buddy? Where’s Buddy? And he busted up laughing because I was fucking holding him.
