This is why studying takes me 4 times longer than the average person. I have to reread so many things to make it sync in. It annoys me how somone can just look or read something once and they have it already
Memes
Post memes here.
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.

It's called "looking at memes".
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

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 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.
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.
Yeah getting out of your car and realizing you have no idea how you got here is spooky.
This is why I can't listen to audio books. I just get lost in the soothing voice and my mind wonders. Paper books are where it's at.
Podcasts and technology connections on YouTube. I totally enjoy them, but if I'm halfway tired and my mind doesn't want to focus and I put either on, I'm passing out after 10 minutes.
Yea but then you realize that you have now made the audiobook last 30mins longer, so it's a win... especially if it's a good book.
This was a symptom of ADHD that I discussed with my doctor when I got diagnosed tbh
Is it an actual ADD symptom? I do this all the time.
Yes, but many things are symptoms of ADHD, but no single symptom alone is a sign of ADHD.
Yeap, one of the BIG ones according to multiple doctors I've seen
Either that or dyslexia can apparently cause this too, according to my dyslexic friend in HS
I could do this, reading out loud even. And not know what the fuck I just read for the last 10 minutes.
And yes, I have ADHD.
Thank god this relatable to so many of us, I was wondering if this was a symptom of a larger disorder whenever this happens to me.
The worst is when I'm reciting word for word technical information about chemistry or physics, because I often like to explain how things work to friends and family while I work on stuff, and then I'll get interrupted or distracted and have no memory of wtf I was just saying for the last several minutes straight.
Linking an obscure community that I made. You're my favourite lemmite
Wait? XD You did? I didn't realize it was you...
I really love your concept by the way.
Thanks. I've started quite a few. Infact you've probably seen a few of em. !aneurysmposting@sopuli.xyz for example
Actually no or maybe I forgot. But !nameit@sopuli.xyz stuck out because it resonate so much with me.
It’s called ADHD.
Sure. Or it's just tiredness and completely normal to happen.
~~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.
I call it "reading with my eyes but not my brain", but I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't think you need to turn every god damned niche thing into a new word or initialism just to gatekeep against those who didn't know the new word just made up.
It's not that deep bro relax
how exactly do you think jargon happens "bro"?
Because it's easier to refer to something with a single word or abbreviation than to have to explain the entire concept?
It's more slang than jargon either way.
Slang is informal language, jargon is a specialized term. This post is asking for jargon. Slang is designed to keep people out of a social in-group, jargon is designed to keep people out of an intellectual in-group.
I've done this with audio books.
I think it could be argued for a state of hypnosis, like how people drive for miles but just don't remember how they did it entirely.
Difference is, you clearly drove and got there safely. You didn't read the words on the page, you just moved your eyes across ink blots.
I was a professional driver for 20 years. I can attest that autopilot is a real thing.
It’s easy to monitor traffic on either side but end up daydreaming and miss a turn.
I’ve been out of the transport industry for five years now and I still occasionally find myself auto-piloting to places I used to deliver to. It’s so weird.
Surely there's a very long German word for it.
Attentiondefißithyperactivitydißorder
While this is more common for people with ADHD, it can happen to anyone.
More like Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung.
By the way, using the 'ß' as you did would force the preceding vowel to have a stretched pronunciation.
And I don't know about you, but in my opinion defeeßit and deeßorder sounds awful.
That conversation looked like bots anyway
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) 🤔
at least 35 syllables long and you'll forget what your reading halfway through the word.
