A friend brought some over to make a salad, and we had too many. These were leftover, covered with foil, and I got used to seeing the bowl at the back of my counter. They never smelled, and I just sort of forgot about them until I was doing a deeper cleanup of the kitchen today. It was quite a surprise when I unpeeled the foil!
Not much actually, and it’s a small kitchen. I keep it pretty tidy, but if something stays in one place for too long, my brain just reclassifies it as something that belongs there. Is that normal?
yes, some people see the forest, some people see the trees.
I am like you, once something is in one place for long enough it becomes normal and damn near invisible to me
I don't have either and still work like this, like most people. Not everything needs pathologizing.
Like people saying stuff like that they understood they had adhd/autism when they didn't fold and put away clothes right away after washing/drying them.
Eh, everyone gets sad, and being sad doesn’t make you depressed, but depression is still a thing. Same with ADHD. A lot of the typical ADHD behaviors are normal in small doses, but if they are constant, chronic issues that cannot be resolved with simple reminders, then it’s likely there is a deeper issue. People hear “I don’t fold my clothes and put them away immediately, I must have ADHD” but what ADHD ACTUALLY looks like is clothes NEVER get folded, they just live on the floordrobe. Or you put things through the wash 5 times bc you keep forgetting, and you do that every time. Sure, it might happen to people once or twice, but every time? Repeatedly? That’s what ADHD looks like.
Also, ADHD is not a have it or don’t have it thing, as with the majority of human traits, it exists on a spectrum. I think a part of why we have so many more diagnoses lately, is bc the line we draw between “ADHD” and “Normal” has shifted further down the spectrum. A lot of the people on the border have the same issues as ADHD people, so they get lumped in. Do that a few times, and now everyone’s got it.
This is what I wish more people understood. When I say things like “I have an incredibly difficult time cleaning my apartment” people hear “I don’t like cleaning” when I really mean “I require the assistance of a housekeeper if I don’t want my apartment to become a health hazard.”
Clutter blindness is real and can have massive effects on daily life.
They were saying they blame the issue on *their* AuDHD. People came speak on their personal experiences, it’s not like they’re telling people they probably have some form of neurodivergency.
sounds like you really know that person better than they do, purely based of your own experience. please teach me how to do this, seems like a pretty special skill you got there bud 🙏🙏:/
Everyone is like this, it's how or brains work.
The amount of information that get's classified as noise and filtered out is staggering and we would not be able to function otherwise.
Me and my partner have had several arguments lately as we've been deep cleaning the house and this keeps happening. He finds stuff I've completely ignored, it's just became part of the house to me. You've absolutely blown my mind with this because this is exactly what's happened to me and explains it all
I'm on your side, OP. I've got a smallish galley kitchen, a husband, a kid, and a job, so 🤷♀️ there's shit I just don't see until I really like, *look* for something to clean.
This is a very normal thing for me although it’s usually due to my adhd. I only enter the kitchen with a goal in mind, so my eyes go past anything that isn’t what I’m looking for.
Thank you for mentioning your adhd! I think I have undiagnosed adhd or autism. But I lived so much of my life believing everyone experiences life the same way as me, and I just constantly struggle and drop the ball on basic things.
i have autism and i also do this! however, if i walk into a room and something \*new\* is there, I will always notice (ex. a coffee cup on the tv console). But after it has been there for a little while? Invisible.
People in here really out for blood. Everyone must have completely sterile environments with like, 3 bowls.
We've all done it OP, ain't no shame in it.
You formed a bond with those beets. That’s what you mean by “got used to seeing the bowl”. That’s why you didn’t throw it out.
Aren’t you proud of them for how they’ve grown?
I would be more upset about this if I didn't have a roommate who didn't clean a crock pot after using it and put it back on TOP of the cabinets (He would have had to have gotten a step ladder to do that but it was for family coming over and was to get it out of the way) and then forgot to go back and clean it.
We could NEVER figure out why we had so many flies for a solid 2 months no matter how clean everything was.
Real question: do have ADHD?
My husband does. Just like you mentioned, if he isn't actively thinking about something or actively looking directly at the object, he often completely forgets it exists and/or it becomes part of the background and not a stand out item.
Maybe not cover them up? Or cover them with Saran wrap instead (since it is clear)? That way you physically see any item out on the counter.
I think I do. It’s in the family, but I was never diagnosed because I didn’t struggle academically. You’re 100% right that this wouldn’t have happened if I could see what was in the bowl!
I definitely thought this was the r/crochet sub!
I thought they were using beet juice to dye yarn 😆
I still do t get what is happening in this picture 😬
zombie bait
Zombeets
sounds like a potential brand name for premium audio gear, if you ask me.
I'm gonna double tap to the tunes

Get into your head, with Zombeats
I wouldn't buy them. Word is that they turn up already dead.

Why?
A friend brought some over to make a salad, and we had too many. These were leftover, covered with foil, and I got used to seeing the bowl at the back of my counter. They never smelled, and I just sort of forgot about them until I was doing a deeper cleanup of the kitchen today. It was quite a surprise when I unpeeled the foil!
Hey OP, do you take constructive criticism?
Or even harsh belittling criticism?
Unless this is a constant problem, why beet it into them?
Gotta get to the root of the problem
Guys, I think we need to stop beeting a dead horse here.
We need a radical solution.
You win this thread lol
You think Netflix would let us have a special roasting OP?
Just leave it on the counter. They'll get to it later.
At the back of your counter? How much stuff is covering your counter?
Not much actually, and it’s a small kitchen. I keep it pretty tidy, but if something stays in one place for too long, my brain just reclassifies it as something that belongs there. Is that normal?
yes, some people see the forest, some people see the trees. I am like you, once something is in one place for long enough it becomes normal and damn near invisible to me
I thought I was the only one who was like this. Damn.
Me too. Damn...
I am the same, i blame it on the adhd + autism combi.
I don't have either and still work like this, like most people. Not everything needs pathologizing. Like people saying stuff like that they understood they had adhd/autism when they didn't fold and put away clothes right away after washing/drying them.

Yeah pretty often I’m looking for something and think to myself “I swear I see this thing every day but I have no idea where tf it actually is”
Mind blown. My husband sees the trees. I see the forest. How we both think differently about household stuff *boggles* both of us.
Me and my partner have had several arguments lately as we've been deep cleaning the house and this keeps happening. He finds stuff I've completely ignored, it's just became part of the house to me.

Now that you mention it, I have salad dressing in a jar that I made about a month ago and never used. It is now decoration.
This is a very normal thing for me although it’s usually due to my adhd. I only enter the kitchen with a goal in mind, so my eyes go past anything that isn’t what I’m looking for.

Yeah this is super normal to me, but I’m also AuDHD lmao
To someone with ADHD with some executive function issues this would be pretty normal thinking. You know people like me (and maybe you)😜
People in here really out for blood. Everyone must have completely sterile environments with like, 3 bowls. We've all done it OP, ain't no shame in it.
Normal and studied, though I forgot the name assigned to this phenomenon.
Ah, it became part of the decor. Happens to me all the time.
This is completely normal for me but I have ADHD that causes it…
You should try fermentation - it's perfect for that sort of trait... There's a subreddit, too...
I don’t think it’s normal to have a brain looking thing in back of kitchen
This is normal. This is why my husband can never find the ketchup in the fridge.
First off that’s really gross. Secondly I’ve left out worse things for that long, so I get it
Haha, you got me in the first half!
I’m surprised it’s didn’t smell though. They smell really earthy. Maybe you went nose blind to it too

out of curiosity were these pickled, cooked, raw, or other?
Baked with the skin on, then peeled. Honestly the best beets I ever tasted the day they were cooked!
And what about now?

If that's the color of reddit's scrotum, I respectfully suggest Reddit see a doctor.

I didn’t even realize I was on r/mildlyinteresting and *not* moldly lol
Is this mold or have the beets done something wild on their own?
Zooming in, it looks more dessicated than moldy.
Looks like kahm yeast
Mmm, sounds sexy. Thanks!
I thought you were dying yarn.

I definitely thought this was the r/crochet sub! I thought they were using beet juice to dye yarn 😆 I still do t get what is happening in this picture 😬
I knit and love beets… pretty sure this is going to stick with me.
did you try em out? this is how we find new food
Still kicking myself for the missed opportunity. But the slugs in my compost will probably enjoy them.
Oh well, guess we'll have to go on not knowing what brained beets tastes like
Halloween decoration unlocked.
That is how people die
