    I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about baking cakes.

    I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about traffic patterns.

    I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about cannibalism.

    I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about shitposting.
