There’s an aspect of Japanese folklore called “Shirikodama” or (roughly) “small anus ball”, which states that humans have a small ball/organ/jewel in or near the anus where their soul is stored.

This is what inspired the name of “The Dung Eater” in Elden Ring, who would kill people and then “defile their corpse” to ensure their entire bloodline becomes cursed, as well as the Headless from Sekiro, which has a grapple attack where it removes Wolf’s soul via the nearby orifice.

I wish I knew the answer to this. I can’t leave the thick plastic target-style shopping bags sitting out exposed anywhere my cat can find it otherwise the handles will “mysteriously” turn into Swiss cheese within a day.

My mother’s been on the “natural health” train for a while now and claims that pasteurizing milk removes most of the nutrients (verifiably false). No amount of my protesting or pointing her towards sources for the contrary have convinced her to stop consuming that garbage.

Yeah, kernel rollback fixed things no problem

I’ve had two instances in the past year on Purple Arch (Endeavor) where a kernel update “broke” my system. In both cases, the system still booted fine though, so not all definitions of "broken"may apply.

The first time there was a bug with the kernel drivers for my wireless card which caused a component of Network Manager to lag out the entire UI to the point it was basically unresponsive trying to find a connection, but never did.

The second time, it was a bug with the Vulkan drivers that caused all my games to crash within 60 seconds of starting up. Games are the main thing I use my PC for, so my system was effectively “broken”, even though everything else was fine.

I am of course not discrediting your fortune - I merely wanted to share

My oldest never hit this, but the younger one who is currently 3 basically matches this comic exactly

Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they’re not valid, just uncommon IMO.

Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make “smart” analog clocks now?

Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It’ll “automatically” change, but I have to turn it on/off. It’s basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.
