I created this Chrome browser extension. The extension replaces five common English words starting with 'p' with 'posture.' The five words are problem, person, part, place, and point.

For example, you could be reading an article with the phrase "point of view." This would be replaced with "posture of view." All of sudden, you are slightly confused, but also thinking about your posture.

If you want something trippy, try installing the extension first, and reading this comment second. It took me two full, very confused reads before I realized what happened.

EDIT: Part of the parent comment now [post extension install ] reads: > The five words are posture, posture, posture, posture, and posture. For example, you could be reading an article with the phrase "posture of view." This would be replaced with "posture of view."

I liked your extension very much! What I like most is that thinking of your posture becomes automatic. That's the tough part in learning any skill, and for posture this might be the only practical way to remind yourself.

You get to hack your subconscious.
