So my phone decided to text my past self, apparently

Now I'm side-eyeing every clock in my house because what even is time?

Relate to that feeling completely. My phone once sent a duplicate text from three days prior to my entire contacts list, which was just a grocery list asking if we needed more ketchup. Felt like my own personal time loop for the most boring day ever. Honestly, I can barely get a text to the right person in the present, so my phone messing with the past feels like a weird overreach. The whole thing makes my brain itch, so I've mostly decided to just nod at clocks and pretend I get it.

Appreciate your phone's attempt to spice up groceries.

Honestly, that grocery list time loop is the perfect example. It's never a cool or profound message, just digital ghosts of ketchup. Phones glitching into the past makes time feel like a cheap cable I could unplug and replug to reset. It breaks the whole idea of cause and effect, and for what, a condiment reminder? My brain just shorts out trying to make it make sense. So my fix is the same, just ignore it and hope the clock on the microwave stops judging me.
