It’s called the wolverine effect, I can’t remember where I learned that ironically.

We all know what a wolverine is, but can you tell me where you learned it from?

It probably has a fancy name like “memory source origin amnesia” or something, but it basically goes along the lines of your brain not remembering where you learned something, you just remember the thing.

It’s why propaganda is so effective even on people looking for it.
