Experiment Do you have thoughts/memories tied to certain actions?

[FrothySolutions]

Every time I brush my teeth I think of Futurama. Why? Because once upon a time I watched an episode of CSI called "Two and a Half Deaths." And it ended with this guy shaving in his bathroom. He then accidentally slices his neck open.

When I brush my teeth, I look into a bathroom mirror like the shaving guy. But he wasn't the biggest part of that episode. Katey Sagal was. And when I think of Katey Sagal, I think of Futurama. I used to think of Married With Children, but now I think of Futurama.

In summary, I brush my teeth in a bathroom mirror, my mind jumps to "Two and a Half Deaths," then Katey Sagal, then Futurama.

Do you have any mental connections or triggers like that?

Yes, it's pretty weird, especially tied to certain games I play(ed).

What are the connections? What triggers them?

What are the connections? What triggers them?

There are games I played where, when I first played them, some sort of event I barely remember all of a sudden gets in my head. For example, I play Just Cause 3 and I remember going a couple days without sleep and presenting a half-assed architecture project in front of a bunch of people, because within an hour after that event was over, I played Just Cause 3.

Do you know why Just Cause 3 makes you think of that?

I honestly do not know. That event was barely even important to me anyways, compared to some other stuff I did within that same year.

I mean can you give me a specific action, and the specific memory it triggers?

They are more random tbh, they dont come from triggers. Usually its something that happened before and its a recap of it
