Went down a rabbit hole about the Denver Airport murals last Tuesday and missed my kid's soccer game.
My wife called me three times while I was reading a 90-page PDF about the 'Blue Mustang' statue's eyes supposedly being cameras, and I had to lie about being stuck in traffic.

Man, you gotta set a timer on your phone next time... like a hard stop alarm. I learned that after missing a dentist appointment over some deep dive on moon landing "anomalies". Now if I'm going down a rabbit hole, I set it for half an hour before I absolutely have to leave. It gives you a minute to come up for air and remember what planet you're on.

You actually think a timer would be enough? Man, I used to think I could just "keep an eye on the clock" and snap out of it whenever. I was wrong about that every single time. But hearing how you missed a real appointment over some conspiracy stuff, that hits different. Maybe I do need to admit my brain just isn't wired to notice time passing when I'm locked in like that. I'm gonna try that half hour buffer thing, seems like the only way to not screw up again.
