Alright, retards, check this shit out.
I've been thinking about this for weeks and it's been melting my brain: What if déjà vu isn't actually your brain glitching or some parallel universe bullshit, but instead it's your consciousness briefly catching up to the fact that reality has a fucking input lag?
Bear with me.
You know how when you're playing an online game with bad ping, there's that slight delay between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen? What if our entire reality works the same way, but we're usually too caught up in the flow of things to notice it? Like, our consciousness is actually running a few milliseconds behind actual reality, kind of like a cosmic buffer period, and déjà vu happens when this buffer temporarily glitches and syncs up with real-time for just a split second.
Think about it: Our brains are basically running the most sophisticated prediction software ever, right? They're constantly guessing what's about to happen next based on previous experience. But what if sometimes, just sometimes, this prediction system accidentally taps into the raw, unprocessed feed of reality before our consciousness has time to put its usual filters on it? So when you experience déjà vu, you're not remembering the past or glimpsing an alternate universe but you're actually experiencing the present twice: once in its raw, unfiltered form, and then again through your brain's normal processing delay.
This would explain why déjà vu feels so fucking weird and specific - it's not just "oh I've been here before," it's more like "I am literally experiencing this exact moment twice in rapid succession." It's like when you're watching a livestream and the audio desyncs for a second, then snaps back into place, and your brain has to process the same information twice.
And, what if this "input lag" in our consciousness actually serves a purpose? Maybe our brains need this brief processing delay to construct our version of reality in a way that makes sense to us. Like, maybe raw reality is too fucking chaotic and overwhelming for our consciousness to handle directly, so this buffer period is necessary for our sanity. But during déjà vu, we accidentally get a glimpse behind the curtain at how reality actually flows before our brain has time to pretty it up for us.
This would also explain why you can never quite catch déjà vu while it's happening - by the time you realize "holy shit, this is déjà vu," it's already passed. Because your consciousness has already slipped back into its normal delayed state, and you're just left with this weird echo of having experienced the same moment twice.
The real mindfuck is: What if this is also why time seems to slow down during intense moments or accidents? Maybe instead of our brains speeding up, what's actually happening is that our consciousness temporarily syncs closer to real-time, reducing that normal input lag, which makes everything seem slower by comparison?
So yeah, maybe déjà vu isn't some fucking mystical phenomenon or brain fart. Maybe it's just our consciousness accidentally getting its shit together for a brief moment and catching up to actual reality before sliding back into its comfortable, slightly-delayed state of being.
Ok, that's enough.
