  The number of times I have:

  • Reached for Ctrl+F while reading a cookbook
  • Tried to change the line width on a whiteboard
  • Seen my partner hit Ctrl+Z on her sketchbook
  • Yanked my laptop off my desk because I’m used to bluetooth headphones and just walked off
  • Tried to use the Mirror tool on physical sculpts and machining projects
  • Tried to zoom a physical photograph
  • Hit Ctrl+S when doing EVERYTHING

    How odd. I’ve never done my of those things and I grew up on computers. I even used computers as my main way of socializing for most of my life and I’ve still never done those things.

    Well…I say that but I’ve definitely stood up and yanked stuff to the floor while wearing headphones before. But I have done it for years before I even so much as held a Bluetooth headset. It’s just easy to get entangle in wires.

    That other stuff is so incredibly odd to me.

      Neat! It’s not so much “forgetting” as it is similar tasks that require similar regions of the brain are more likely to trigger automatic reflexes. Social apps dont have many of those reflexes sonce social media doesn’t really exist offline, but things like CAD and ClipStudio/Photoshop/Visual Studio all have real world analogues and thus the habits you form from spending 16 hrs a day steeping in that system/mentality/carries over to similar tasks extremely easily.

      The neurology of habis is absolutely fascinating btw, if you ever want to go on a wiki rabit hole I can really recommend that one as a cool one to go down for a few hours.

    I have tried saving before bed and drifting when turning corners. And on a similar note, thanks to Factorio, I swear sometimes I can see belts on my floor.

    I swap back and forth between reading physical books and books on a Kindle. Some times when reading a physical book I almost try to press and hold on a word to get a definition if I don’t recognize it. I’ve thankfully never actually done it but only because I catch myself.

    i don’t get many of my digital space muscle memory habits triggered in real life but after working on big projects, be it editing, drawing, or writing, i find myself trying to ctrl-s and “save” things like my scrolling progress on comments under a youtube video, or “save” a conversation on discord

    Same energy as losing your glasses on your head or your phone for a flashlight to look for phone.

    Everyone makes follies like this, we just like to pretend we are better and can’t.

      When my wife and I were dating, I once texted her that I couldn’t find my phone.

      Not my proudest moment, but I was going to school full time and working 60h a week.

  I’ve done that with comics, and because I scum save a lot in skyrim, I once tried to hit f9 after I said something dumb while talking to my wife.

    Did it work?

      No because I tried to do something even more stupid than what I said so we both just laughed.

  I have done that many times. But not recently because it’s been years since I last read a paper magazine.

    I have done that many times. But only on touch screen.

    Well, that was that one phone that didn’t support multi touch. Ruined my entire week.

  Zoom in, Abby!

  Zoom factor increases by 100000% and numbers on a smartphone become readable

  I usually use my thumb and index finger, not my thumb and middle finger, to do this gesture.
