For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I was thinking I wish it were real so I could buy it, but now that I know it is, I don't want to. Do the Germans have a word for this feeling?

I dont think that's the word.

Not that I’m aware of. There are however words that describe an imagination that is not real. Like wishful thinking but with connotation. I think these fit best: Hirngespinst, Wunschvorstellung.
