    I was going to ask this last week - there's a term for this, that I can't for the life of me remember - does anyone here? It's for the spike in encounters with a new concept, just after you've learned it.

    I had it years ago with, bizarrely, the concrete weights you get in some tumble dryer machines. I read about it somewhere, then over the course of a few days thereafter encountered 3 opened up dryers on the street, then had our one taken apart so I could see inside. Utterly banal, I know - but it freaked me out a little nonetheless.

    • yeah it alwasy happens... its uncanny... is there a term? i would love to know it too7point34
