When searching fails carefully and as accurately as possible make a drawing of the item. Calm yourself as you draw and focus on the form and materials of the item. Label it. You should find it soon after. (IDK why this works but it does— should it fail you have made a poster that will help others to help you find it. )
@GustavinoBevilacqua@RedstoneLP2@futurebird How come by now there’s no “AI camera” which you point at a messy desk and it tells you where a thing is? It works already for toy bricks so it shouldn’t be that hard to adopt.
@futurebird i thought that the spell was to buy a new one?
one of the theories why this sort of thing works is you prime you brain to be more receptive to this specific pattern. same as when you learn a new word or concept and then suddenly you seem to come across it everywhere
@mensrea@futurebird
Buying a new one requires thinking about the exact parameters of the item as well.
Maybe that’s why it works. I’d never considered that possibility, but I have been known to almost buy a replacement and just leave it in a cart for a while. That works sometimes too.
@sollat@mensrea
By putting the item in the cart you show the run away item you are serious and have no mercy “you can be replaced!” and this intimidates it into returning.
We should make a whole grimore of “spells” that are really just practical procedures to deal with stressful and annoying little things in systematic ways and get rich or something wadaya say?
