Thread-Drift

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.
* AI Tangent Velocity (ATV) – The speed at which a conversation fucks off into nowhere.

Pro Tips:
* Embrace it. Let the drift take you.
* Rename your chat threads before you forget what the hell happened.
* Use it as fuel for your next sci-fi short story or therapy session.

I asked ChatGPT to format a SQL query, and now we’re discussing whether time is a construct of perception. Classic thread-drift.

Cart Drifting

Cart Drifting is something where a person gets in a cart and is moving at the speed of a cart, but with STYLE. The movement of a cart is depended on and person to push/pull the cart, they can also use wind, a stick, magic or some type of water fueled engine that can move the cart. If you see two men in Black suits for the last one, you might wanna skedaddle

There are also different type of carts to cart that just right for Cart Drifting, Target carts for example are slick with there wheels allowing for the carts to be fast and loose,
Walmart carts on the other hand always have that on wheel on top right of the cart. You know the one, it swerves and squeaks a lot which makes the cart emotionally unstable and is the main cause for 45% of cart fatality rates. That doesn't mean it isn't possible to not Cart Drift on them.

Now that you know that it's awesome, go and Drift on them hoes.

"Mommy, what are those grown men doing riding on those carts?"

"Don't look, They're Cart Drifting sweetie. They're a bad influence"

Process drift

The gradual, often unconscious shift in a work process, system, or organizational behavior away from its original purpose—usually due to routine, habit, or the illusion of progress. Common in corporate, bureaucratic, or tech settings where the system just keeps running… because that’s what it does.

“Why are we still sending daily update emails no one reads?”
“No clue. Classic case of process drift
