still looking 🙈

@Heliograph if I buy a new one, and go to put it away, I will surely find the lost one.

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@Heliograph Once it was in the fridge, for some reason.

@ccellis % correct

[1chrisbrennan@mstdn.ca]

@Heliograph Definitely purple.

@Heliograph

there is a definite 720 degree nature to the universe because there is another full circle that, up until the quantum uncertainty collapses upon finding, the firm notion 'someone' moved it from the 'known' deliberate special place

Overlay: it is in the last place you will look for it.

Also, needs a small sliver labelled "In your hand as you walk around looking for it" or, in the case of glasses, "on your head."

@Heliograph
Remember: When you eventually find the thing, put it in the first place you looked for it. Next time, your instinctive reaction will be successful.

@Heliograph For me it is embarissingly often "Used as a bookmark"

Where did I put my phone? Oh, it's in a book.

That really important letter? Book.

Tweezers? Watch? Toothpaste? Book. Book. Book.

@ccellis
Just *pretend* you have a new one, you'll find the old one while putting the pretend one away. Or it's under something, or in the car.

@rjblaskiewicz
You had to put it down to grab something from the fridge. So, there it is!
@Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph I had never seen that refrigerator before in my life.

[stargazersmith@social.linux.pizza]

@Heliograph
Some significant portion of my life is described by your diagram.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz Ok, we're moving from absent-minded to haunted here. Or maybe somebody is gaslighting you, placing random fridges around and acting innocent? @Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph

To be fair it could be dementia. Maybe end stage neurosyphilis.

[hakona@im.alstadheim.no]

@rjblaskiewicz True. But then how could you be here to tell the story of that random fridge? My bet is somebody is out to get you . @Heliograph

[rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social]

@hakona @Heliograph

I'm about 10 seconds away from going full Philip K. Dick here.

[camhef@mastodon.social]

@Heliograph I am currently waiting for Amazon to deliver a replacement for a thing I've lost. I expect the original will turn up moments after the Amazon delivery .
UPDATE: I found the lost item before Amazon arrived. Panic over.

[fractalkitty@mathstodon.xyz]

@Heliograph found my coffee in the closet a week later.

[fgrosshans@mathstodon.xyz]

@Heliograph Obviously, you are me
