Not controversial here. For example, Christina Rossetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter is set near the winter solstice. By the same token, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream takes place on the night of summer solstice. Thus we are reminded that for most of the past centuries, summertime ended on the autumnal equinox at September 21st, which was also when winter began.

fwiw the system used to allow you to vote as many times you wanted as long as your votes were paced a certain interval (one week? two weeks?) apart. but at least one poster abused the system by voting 10+ times in polls with distant closing dates, so the mods may have tightened up the polling regulations since I regularly pulled that shit

Al Jazeera is mostly staffed by ex-BBC broadcasters and journalists including my old friend Imran Khan, who is currently reporting from Ramallah. I’m terrified for him but if you’re on Insta he’s @imranism and worth a follow.

I'm not sure why I'd take any of this seriously, but it's how I roll.
The 'thing' is unspecified. Based on my reading of the text, the breaking of his heart is not the 'thing' itself, but rather the effect it has on him. First she does the 'thing', then it breaks his heart. He understands she is unaware of the effect the 'thing' has on him, so the effect is incidental rather than intended.
While the specific 'thing' is left to the imagination of the audience, the set of realistic interpretations will cluster around her being cute, lovable and mildly flirtatious, without seriously considering the narrator as suitable for an amorous relationship. It is the first of these attributes of the 'thing' that make it hard to forget her, but it is the last of these attributes that causes him heartbreak/heartache, which is why he singles it out as the required remedy for his heartbreak in the later stanzas.
All of the foregoing amply proves that a careful dissection of the rhetorical constructs of this lyric is overblown silliness.
