It's called "looking at memes".

Lucid Reading?

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Now I know that when people say read something they don't mean read the words but not the meaning. They mean read it and comprehend it.

I have to read out loud to myself to finish a book or an article.

It has made my reading comprehension go through the roof. And I didn't understand that about myself for my first 45 years.

I call it "five too many coffee cups today". When I cut off from coffee, I become able to follow a text much better.

I can drink as many tea cups that I can without throwing up and not get the same jitter-effect so it doesn't seem to be just caffeine.

Text-to-speech is your friend here.

I use a website called "speechify" but there are a lot of options.

Still helps to read along with it, but having that auditory input in tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you've never experienced.

Or listening to an audio book and reading the book at the same time, but then often there's the case where one is a different version than the other.

Dissociation, of course.

It already has a name: ADHD

Edit: and the stigma against the disease continues. I thought you were better than this, Lemmy.

"someone isn't focused, they're surely suffering from a neurodevelopmental disease"

fuck this fucking pillpusher propaganda

Sure bud, tell me about the condition I’ve had all my life and how my life didn’t get immeasurably better when I finally got diagnosed and treated by a professional in my 4th decade of life.

So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Trump voter?

Sometimes a headache is actually a sign of a fatal cancer that needs to be operated on.

MOST of the time it isn't.

I don't expect you to understand the difference.

I call it "reading with my eyes but not my brain", but I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't think you need to turn every god damned niche thing into a new word or initialism just to gatekeep against those who didn't know the new word just made up.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's not that deep bro relax

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago

how exactly do you think jargon happens "bro"?

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Because it's easier to refer to something with a single word or abbreviation than to have to explain the entire concept?

It's more slang than jargon either way.

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Slang is informal language, jargon is a specialized term. This post is asking for jargon. Slang is designed to keep people out of a social in-group, jargon is designed to keep people out of an intellectual in-group.
