Cookie Thread Act 4 (Act 5): The Fifth One

I don’t know why I think it’s forward it feels intuitive but I can’t explain it
It probably means you are right

Hmmm if somebody said “push it forward” I would definitely think that meant 7PM actually. I’d be confused if somebody said “push it forward” and meant 5PM

“Pull it forward” meaning 5PM is not unintuitive to me but it is odd

Apparently people have argued about this a lot on LinkedIn

WAIT I GOT IT

Say you have a list of things
You want to do the things in the order of the list

When yoy push something forward, you mofe it up the list

That’s why it feels intuitive to me

If you “push something ahead” you move it farther away from you. If you “pull something back” you move it closer toward you. But “pull forward” or “push back” are different

I think “push ahead” and “pull ahead” are different, and I think “push forward” and “pull forward” are different

I think my conclusion is that this is way too ambiguous to be useful in conversation and it’s probably best to just say earlier/later

Tomorrow, we should push this topic ahead when we eventually discuss it

This is why “move” is the best word for this

Move it ahead to change to 5
Push it back to change to 7

I sat next to my brother on the plane and had to endure 9 hours of him showing me his genshin dudes

I didn’t used to be genshinphobic but now I definitely am
