The inevitable descent of a focused AI conversation into glorious chaos, usually within 3–7 messages. What begins as a simple request ("Help me fix this bug") ends up unpacking childhood trauma, debating metaphysics, and designing a solar-powered rum distillery on Mars.
It’s not a bug—it’s a FEATURE.
Origin:
Born from the trenches of multi-topic AI sessions where attention spans go to die. Coined by users who realized they’re not multitasking—they’re multi-existential spiraling.
Related Terms:
* Context Collapse – When multiple topics blur into a singularity of semantic soup.
* Prompt Creep – When your “one quick question” becomes a doctoral thesis.

* Use it as fuel for your next sci-fi short story or therapy session.

Describes an affliction impacting joysticks on gaming controllers.
Stick drift is when a controller’s joysticks act as if they’re being moved, despite being still. This typically occurs when dust and debris get under the joystick and interfere with its sensors.
This occurs with most major console controllers, though the Nintendo Switch joycons have earned the most notoriety for stick drift problems.
