Like dust in the wind

I went to the post office today and forgot my own address for a minute.
I get it.

Easiest way to keep you RAM caches clear.
Never put information in RAM.
- Instructions unclear. Dickie stuck in swapfiles.

I’ve gotten used to using Siri for reminders, like “add apples to the shopping list”, but it’s extra frustrating to have 2-3 things to add and forget the third before I get the first two saved.

This is why I've always enjoyed text chat more. Having an actual log helps immensely.

Happens to me everyday at least few times.
- Feels like it's been happening more lately, though usually when I'm trying to sleep.
  I've been meaning to talk to people about this, see if it's abnormal, but I always forget...

Yep. The feeling of knowing you've forgotten something is so annoying, especially when its important

Yes it is the worst and as you age your trying to figure out how much you sorta always did this and if its increasing.
- I'm worried that I'll never know if I'm getting Alzheimer's.
  
  There is enough testing now that you probably will. What stinks about it is even if we got some sort of right to die by the time you would want to you would not be competent to and early on if your taken care of its not so bad. Like being a kid again. Later though. oof. would not wish that on anyone.

Working on my PC... Remember that I have to do something like pay a bill, open a support ticket etc... I click new tab.... While it's opening I tell myself that I just need to remember for a few more seconds but by the time the tab opens, it's gone. And I just sit there staring at the new tab wondering if it will come back to me.

I just throw my hands up and think "if I need to remember it, something will remind me, hopefully before it's not too late"

This is what happens to me when I try to do math
- that & also when i try to remember any number or name
  my history grades always plummeted the second the dates stopped being "probably 2300BC" and the names stopped being one word

Nice to see you post a meme that's not deep fried. I like to think that was influenced by me. (lying)
- Memes are much better when sauteed in butter with a little white wine. For a zesty change of pace add a dash of nutmeg!
- Lol, it's luck of the draw I guess. I do most of my posting from my phone, so sometimes it looks good enough to me, but probably not on a bigger screen.
  
  I mean, I do 99% of my Lemmy time on my phone, too.

same horror as realising you have dementia
- It's also similar to realising you have dementia.
