I had a truly inspired "showerthought"

I lost it, I searched "shower" to find the appropriate ... Sublem? Lemming hole? --Place to post it. Without turning off nsfw content, searching the word "shower" will completely destroy your train of thought. It really was so philosophical and I feel stupid now, half an hour later.

It’ll come back to you..
Probably next time you’re without your phone. Alone. On a bus. With your stop coming up. And an important meeting awaiting there. No stress.
The term you’re looking for is “community”.
- Duly noted. --The edit being that I said dually noted, which had previously meant to me "I'll remember that twice as hard" Obviously i shit the bed on that one.
  
  If you duelly note something, remember to use training swords.
- i like lembo, although it's a bit abstract
I stole the idea from you! And I'm not giving it back
Keep trying to grasp it and just go back in the same physical space you were I when you came up with it.
That also often happens to me, and doorways are kinda literally mind-wipers. So you're in the bathroom, balling that thought for a while, deciding to go and write it down, step out of the bathroom...
This is because our brains model reality based on physical locations. So a new room is a "new scene" and your brain starts a new chapter.
It doesn't even need to be an actual room. A door frame is sufficient. They tried this with a memory test where there's two tables, you have to remember what's on one and then arrange the other to match. For some they put a door frame between the tables, for some they didn't. There's a very clear effect.
