@scy@chaos.social There's a very interesting reason this happens that's colloquially known as the "doorway effect." Very basically, your mind discards most of your short term memory when you leave a room unless you're actively thinking about it or have some other means of reconnecting to those memories (like holding an object related to the reason you're in a new room).
