Am I going senile?

[Dan Druff]

The following three incidents occurred this week, all involving food:

1) I ordered extra chicken on the side with some tacos I bought for takeout. The chicken came in three small containers. I ate two of them, and then planned to put the third in the fridge. I forgot about it until 6 hours later, and had to throw it away.

2) I cooked 3 hotdogs from a new pack I bought. I left the other 5 on the counter, and planned to put them away. Twice I thought about it and didn't do it, and then I discovered 4 hours later they were still out. I threw it away.

3) Tonight I did takeout from a BBQ place, and one of the side items was cooked corn. About 30 minutes ago, I realized that I never ate the corn, and never put it away. I googled how long cooked corn could sit out, and unfortunately it was 2 hours. I walked over to throw it away, and saw that I actually did completely eat the corn during dinner, so all of this about leaving it for later was a false memory.



All of this really occurred within the past 7 days.

Out of an abundance of caution, I have given the PFA admin password to Benjamin, and he will run the site going forward if I become mentally incapable.

Thank you for reading, and good night.

You can eat food that's been sitting out for 6 hours dude

All incidents are food related so thinking your food coma is cause. If it spills ver into other areas of life consistently then get checked out. Some forgetfulness is normal in aging.

Eat better, more tasty food that you'll be less apt to forget.

This would be totally normal behavior if you smoked pot.

In 2 years (conservative estimate) your AI Agent and Google/Meta glasses will take care of all this.

I have several acquaintances who are near my age who actually wear these Ray Ban things. One is actually a woman. I’ve tried their glasses too.

They have several interesting stories about coworkers being concerned about getting video’d and such.

I have great faith that Ben will enforce a one a day post limit on Uncle Desert Runner. These kids know shitposting when they see it. The rope you have given him already had us questioning your possible senility. This is just confirmation.

This would be totally normal behavior if you lived inside your head.

Perfect time to announce you're running for President in 2028.

You have checked off a few boxes in this thread.

Okay but what’s with the “cooked corn?”

Is eating corn raw a thing now? Am I that out of touch? (It’s certainly possible.)

[simpdog]

Druff do you ever eat "expired" food where it's past the best before date?

While I'm not as old as Druff, I am called Memory Challenged by friends and family.

I even forgot that I laid out 3 parlays on Buffalo last night and 2 of them hit due to the Ghost Leg Parlay gimmick!
