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 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.

The subtle feeling that the world around you is slightly fake, off, or slipping out of sync. A cultural vertigo caused by algorithms, endless feeds, and manufactured experiences that blur the line between what’s authentic and what’s engineered.
Scrolling through TikTok at 2 a.m. and realizing every trend feels staged gave me major reality drift.

The gradual or ongoing detachment from the emotional or behavioral responsibilities of motherhood, often seen in young mothers who had children during their teenage years and never fully transitioned into a maternal role.
Can involve a lifestyle that mirrors someone in their twenties, with parenting taking a backseat.

“She had her son at 16, but it’s like she never grew into being a mom—still out every weekend. Classic case of maternal drift.”
“Maternal drift hit hard after she realized she missed out on her youth and tried to reclaim it.”
“Don’t confuse maternal drift with bad parenting—it’s deeper, like being emotionally stuck between two lives.”
