that was a disturbing brain glitch ...

i think what happened is i was hating windows so much because of the ridiculous nature of the problem, and because i knew that everybody hates windows 11 that something in my brain short circuited and decided that i must be on windows 11 ...

the frightening thing is that something very similar happened before. one time i posted a meme on Twitter saying the reason poor people are fat is because expensive fridges look like this:

and cheap ones look like this:

that tweet went viral and racked up a shitload of RTs and likes before somebody pointed out that my "cheap fridge" was actually a freezer ...

that was fucking embarrassing but at least i was able to delete the tweet ...

this is fucked up on two levels:

1 - in a world where everybody is a liar i can't trust my own mind.

2 - my tweets that are horribly wrong end up being more popular than the ones where i am stating objective facts.

in both of these cases ( both the fridge/freezer and the windows 10/11 ) the posts elicited positive response because they FELT right.

this means that i am simultaneously insane and also that what little sanity i do have is actually just getting in my way.

i feel sick to the stomach.

that a brain can glitch like this isn't scary - our brains hallucinate the same way AI does

what is scary is that i didn't catch it happening and it made it all the way through to a page long tweet

making mistakes is not an issue - the issue is not catching them in time

it is debilitating when you can't trust your own mind
