    I think it IS the 5 second rule, but interpreted as “you can only pick it back up within 5 seconds”. Since my mental version specified eating the fallen object, I didn’t make the connection immediately. It’s just a “me” problem.

      Yeah I was also ever familiar with the eating rule, had to do an online search to find out there’s potentially other meanings behind it
