Reality Drift

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.

Jim: Damn it it must be drifting.
Billy: Just blow into it maybe it will tone it down a bit.

Distracted Drift

"Distracted Drift"

When driving you notice erratic driving such as slowing /speeding patterns, drifting into your lane, and so on as a result of using their mobile for texting/posting/browsing.

"Man, I was on my way into work this morning and was almost taken out by the peckerhead doing the 'distracted drift.' I expected it ot be a kid but it looked like a soccer mom on Facebook."

Multitrack Drifting

When choosing between 2 bad things, electing to do both of them at once; a subversion of the Morton's Fork.

The name is a reference to the Trolley Problem, where you are supposed to choose between letting 4 people tied to the track die and pulling the lever, running over 1 person with the trolley and being directly responsible for their death.

Person 1: "If you had to chose, would you rather kill 2 piglets or 1 puppy?"
Person 2: "Multitrack Drifting."
Person 1: "What the fuck."
