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 ANYTHING

The future is weird and I'm really very bad at it

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 many times before. But I have done it for years before I even so much as held a Bluetooth headset. It's just easy to get entangled in wires.

That other stuff is so incredibly odd to me though. I've never forgot that i'm not using a computer before.

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 since social media doesn't really exist offline (at least not as an analogue), 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 habits 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.

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I've done that many times and I feel like a retard every time. And I'm 40, so... I should know what photos are?

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

“Oh shit, Jeremy left his phone here, I’ll call him to let him know.”

*beep boop boop beep*

*rrrrriiiiing*

“Oh yeah.”

[–] TurboDiesel@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I've done the same thing from the other end; got in to my car and realized my music didn't start playing. Look around and, oops! No phone. My first thought was, "oh no big deal, I'll just call-DAMMIT"

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

I pressed reply on this comment .... now I forgot what I wanted to write .... :(

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

You’re 40 years old and you still use that word?

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago

I haven't done that, but when looking something up from a long text on paper, I get the same feeling I do when I hit ctrl+f. Like theres no keyboard obviously, but i feel ctrl+f

The other day at the supermarket, I was reading the ingredients and nutrition guide on the back of a bottle and I tried to scroll up through it.

[–] justhach@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Fuuuuuuck caught myself doing this the other day while looking at a map lol.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] registrert@lemmy.sambands.net 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I remember the first time I caught myself doing this with a magazine. Tech transition points are hard.

[–] norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

Zoom in, Abby!

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

Here you go, Gibs!

Slurps weird poison that's sold as drink somewhere

[–] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Thank god I still don't do this... though I fear I will in a few years.

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

She must have one of those darned androids.
