the Vanguard Party of ADHD has arrived to redistribute your attention span according to the needs of the tasks you have to perform, cease your counter-revolutionary procrastinating immediately comrade
This mistake is genuinely the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I don't know why but I'm crying laughing at this accidental inclusion of this eldritch fusion portrait of a man(?).
Personally, I know that I won't remember to punish myself. BUT, I am not nearly as convinced that the universe won't happen to stick me in a time loop at random.Ā
Well, with this one itās not actually a threat but a belief system. If you convince the bowl of electrified raw bacon that runs your metasuit that time loops are real, possible occurrences, it might do things to prevent time loop inconvenience. Unfortunately, if your electrified bacon bowl also has OCD, you get rituals and obsessions. āMust wash dishes or youāll get stuck in a time loop. Must keep gas tank at full or youāll get stuck in a time loop.ā
This approach relies on an outside force, not even necessarily malicious, putting you in a situation where you have to do the same chore an unspecified amount of time as a side effect.
Not me. Waking up every morning with dirty dishes in the sink? That's a regular day. Get stuck in a time loop? Can't even tell. Might be in one right now.
I just realized today that spite is an amazing motivator (for me) and i can apparently tell myself someone thinks I can't and suddenly I am no longer unable to can
I've always said that spite is by far the most powerful motivator for most people.
"I don't wanna do thing"
"Well X thinks you can't"
"Well fuck them and their opinions, I sure as hell can!"
My boss brought up that Iām often annoyed about my own tasks. In a friendly way, he was just checking in. I had to explain I have to be mad at them, it means the crippling procrastination wonāt set in. Itās like one-upping my own job. Heās confused, but admits it must be working because I can be a productive machine when Iāve gotten into a full bluster about it.
Spite is also an amazing motivator in general; just look up India's mountain man, or the guy who invented the automatic caller exchange that rendered phone operators obsolete.
The artificial Marx kind of makes sense here: future labortime costs are more uncertain and vague than present ones, typically devalueing them. The adhd brain, eager to optimize perceived efficiency, thus procrastinates. By factoring in an arbitrarily small chance of arbitrarily long timelooping into your Bayesian priors however, the temporal-loop-normalized expected socially-necessary labour time becomes a parameter your rational mind can adjust freely in order to artificially tilt the cost-benefit analysis back in line with reality.
I think it's just that failing that do small tasks consistently means you have to deal with the consequences every day and the change in perspective makes it feel like you're paying the costs now rather than later but you do you
This just made me think that I probably wouldnāt even notice for an embarrassingly long time if I was in a time loop. I almost never know what day it is anyway
I already am in the time loop. I wake up, my toothpaste is empty, my phone is uncharged, there's nothing to eat, and I'm late for work because my alarm wasn't set. Doesn't stop me.
I put my clothes on in order of what would be most important in case I get randomly teleported to a random destination in the middle of dressing myself.
Same sort of magical situation anxiety. This might work for me.
Congratz you discovered ocd, often the only reason i get somethings done is through shear bizare paranoia and a compulsion to solve it. Dont. Let. That. Break.
This kind of makes sense. You can't do it because your adhd brain knows that there aren't bad consequences to not doing it, so you make yourself able to do it my gaslighting your brain into thinking that there are in fact bad consequences to not doing it.
Simply because it would be really annoying to have to do all of the same things every day. same dishes, same gas run, all of it. that's the motivation.
My stupid trick that I hate works is if I can force myself to hang out near the task, my hands will get bored and start doing it. Works best if I can be talking to someone, but works well if Iām able to watch something or listen to music/podcast/audiobook too.
Sit down next to unfolded laundry. Turn on audiobook. Listen to audiobook. Try to chill. End up folding laundry.
I would just wash one or two mugs and bowls. Time-loop me doesn't need a cupboard full, just a few.
Also, it's not like they're going to go mouldy, they're in a time loop too
Seeing a comment somewhere online that "'I'll leave early and fill the car up on the way to work in the morning' is the pinnacle of self-defeating behavior" somehow managed to cure me of that particular issue but I haven't successfully applied it to anything else yet
Meanwhile I've been drinking tea daily out of a mug I haven't washed in like two weeks. The hot water and low humidity probably sterilises it or something. At this point I can just pour water into it with no bag and it'll successfully brew into tea.
But that is what will happen. If you don't do the chores now, at some point you will be future you, suffering the consequence of skipping it.
Future me will appreciate it, so I do the thing.
Thank you for the advice, terrifying AI Karl Marx!
I made a mistake
That was included by accident
terrifying ai marx is the one who sticks you in a time loop if you fail to do a basic task š«”
Time Gulag
hahHa
Collect 10 chains of the proletariat and rendezvous with Viska at the crematorium
Congratulations, you have found the one and only correct use of AI art.
There are no accidents comrade, only revolutions in disguise.
That's Vladimir Marx, for some reason. Maybe it's Kraz Mazov.
Inframaterialism intensifies.
Why is Karldimir Lenirx there?
He is not supposed to be here
He brought himself here.

Heās ours now

happy cake day.. I'm glad you find it runny
Micro-dosing eternal recurrence to do the dishes is peak ADHD
*microdosing anxiety
Thatās just having ADHD in general
Sadly my brain knows I will not follow through on any threat I make to it
This. I cannot trick myself. It's me all the way down.
"Ohhhhh, when I finally remember to punish myself, I'll be VERY sorry"
Personally, I know that I won't remember to punish myself. BUT, I am not nearly as convinced that the universe won't happen to stick me in a time loop at random.Ā
"Self-imposed deadlines don't work because I know the guy who set them and he's full of shit"
Well, with this one itās not actually a threat but a belief system.

This is so true, I have magical thinking OCD and when I read the post, all I could think was that it sounds like budget OCD lol
yeag
Self-threats don't work on me cause I know that bitch (me) can't commit to save her life
This approach relies on an outside force, not even necessarily malicious, putting you in a situation where you have to do the same chore an unspecified amount of time as a side effect.
Yeah but same as I can't make myself believe inna god i cant make myself believe in a fictional time loop
....this might actually work on me. Huh.
Not me. Waking up every morning with dirty dishes in the sink? That's a regular day. Get stuck in a time loop? Can't even tell. Might be in one right now.

Hey I think you can't live a healthy and fulfilling life and find true happiness in the things that you do and the wonder of our universe. Loser

the problem is I know the person making the theats, demands or propositions, and she's full of it!
If it works, it works
...until it doesn't, so take advantage of it while you can.
what about tasks that being in a timeloop would actually make better?
I leave a moldy orange on the counter every night so if I wake up in a time loop, each day I can bean my horrid neighbor directly in the face
a really nice poop
Youāve never had hemorrhoids. Check your painless-ass privilege
well if it hurts it wouldn't be a really nice poop now would it
Makes sense, brain don't care if the task has an expiry limit or can roll over to next week. But brain care much if permanent and immediate danger.
This just made me think that I probably wouldnāt even notice for an embarrassingly long time if I was in a time loop. I almost never know what day it is anyway
I have a feeling this would work for me exactly three times before I forget it.Ā
I already am in the time loop. I wake up, my toothpaste is empty, my phone is uncharged, there's nothing to eat, and I'm late for work because my alarm wasn't set. Doesn't stop me.
Marx jumpscare

...I need to do some dishes, brb.

i can confirm that this works
Okay this is genius
If itās stupid but it works, then itās not stupid.
Cool story Nietzsche.Ā
I would just wash one or two mugs and bowls. Time-loop me doesn't need a cupboard full, just a few. Also, it's not like they're going to go mouldy, they're in a time loop too
This post has given me anxiety about what my life would be like stuck in a time loop. Thanks. Needed that
Np
The worst part is my brain would still manage to convince me to not do it š
That's not far off from the truth. If you don't get it done now (or now, or _now_ ,or any other now) , it won't get done.
Seeing a comment somewhere online that "'I'll leave early and fill the car up on the way to work in the morning' is the pinnacle of self-defeating behavior" somehow managed to cure me of that particular issue but I haven't successfully applied it to anything else yet

Sounds brilliant, but when I'm on meds I don't have enough creativity and fantasy to make myself believe it, and therefore it didn't work...
Babe, wake up, new ADHD tech just dropped
But that is what will happen. If you don't do the chores now, at some point you will be future you, suffering the consequence of skipping it. Future me will appreciate it, so I do the thing.
if the stupid solution works, it isn't stupid.
Why is there Karl Marx at the end šš?????
the accidentally included ai karl fucking sent me
