Videosift messes with your head
Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm a bit crazy -- I don't know. But does anyone else notice that after a long session of browsing around and watching videos on the Sift, you'll start almost unconsciously wanting to upvote things? Like you'll be watching a video somewhere else, or maybe even just reading something, and for a split second you'll look over to the left so you can upvote it.
That can't possibly just be me, can it? Can it??

I find myself wanting to make fake invocations things in real life. Like, I'll be having a conversation, and I'll want to invoke *superfuckingawesome.
YES! We need top sign list that you're addicted to VS or something!
1)You look for the upvote button on sites other than VS
2)You want to call *invocations in real life
3)You want to invoke *quality on articles elsewhere on the web
4)You want to ban morons that you meet in real life
5)You have more friends on the sift than real life (for us real losers)
Awarding Sarzy with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by MarineGunrock.
6) If your cable goes out, you try to * discard it.
7) You plan to vote for Ron Paul.
You have an actual "dead pool" in your backyard
9) After every commercial, promo, and program that comes on TV, you and your girlfriend stick out your thumbs sideways... like a emperor at a Roman Gladiator Game, and "Vote up" or "Vote down" whether the people who made it can live another day.
... and most of them don't.
10) You've read so many of MINK's LOLcat rants that when you see an ad for "Meet Locals" you actually read "Meet Lolcats"
^Yes, that just happened to me.
11) Every time I see a flour sifter these greenish sunglasses appear and I feel as if someone, or somebot is watching...
Is THAT what siftbot is supposed to be? A flour sifter? HA! Siftbot! It all makes sense now. I thought it was just some random can. That's awesome.
12) Everytime you see a P you gleefully check the poster to see if its a self link so you can BAN!
WTF thats supposed to be a flour sifter!!?!? I thought it was a cofee machine for some reason.
Sarzy - here is sifty's meatspace avatar getting, well, um, molested by dag. I guess he really turns its crank. uuunnnnhhhh.
13) You find it useless to speak or type any message if there's no way to be upvoted on it.
14) You want to set a few conversations all downloading on pause so that when your in the mood to listen to them they will have all their points nice and ready to hand and wont waist your time going ummm... uhh...
Jonny, is that the real Siftbot that Dag's smooching? I always thought that Siftbot was a dude because, well, you know...robots are logical, just like men*. Does that mean that Siftbot's gay? Ewww! All this time he's been watching me while I was sifting NAKED. I feel violated.
*Blatantly sexist remark of the day
15) You avoid pissing off your box of Lucky Charms.

That is the most horrifying thing I've ever seen. I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight.
16) supermarket lines start feeling like the queue and you have the urge to jump to the express lane.
17) you SMS a "discard" to any chick that fails to give you a decent bj inside a 4 day window. you then forward her number to fellow sifters, urging them to "save" her
18) You dream of sifting when asleep (done it before).
