What has you experiencing the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon? (lemm.ee)

The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.

For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

Omg this has a name?! It's one of my favorite things to happen lol

Okay so uh...back when I had a really tough assignment and I didn't wanna study for it and I had just one day left. I was talking to a girl on Facebook about not doing my assignment and she sent me something that she uses to write her homework, well I looked it up and it worked brilliantly, I was able to submit my assignment in time with zero effort.

Next week everyone was using chatgpt for assignments
