He was like I am. I spread a bag of rubber ducks in my daughters first student appartments' bathroom. When she moved out, she collected them, counted them, and came up to 49. She kept searching and turned the bathroom upside down to find No. 50.

Little did she know that I only hid 49 of the bag of 50, the last one is still here...

    It was actually unintentional. To avoid my wife to blabb to my daughter, I had my coworker order them for me, and I gave him one of the ducks as a 'thank you'. So I only had 49 left.

    But you should have heard her... We had moved her in, and were about to leave, and I said that I just wanted to use the loo before driving home. Five mnutes later, we were already down on the street approaching the car, when she appeared on the balcony and shouted "Papaaa" in a rather accusing voice. 😃

    It reminds me of the (probably apocryphal) senior prank that was part of my high school's local legend: The school, being rural, was surrounded by farms. So the seniors took three pigs from the farm next door, painted the numbers 1, 2, and 4 on them, and let them into the school one night. Rumor has it that school was cancelled the next morning, and the school custodian stayed in the building until midnight trying to coax #3 out of the locker room, only to discover that the smell he thought was the (non-existent) third pig was an unflushed toilet.

    I think have heard that in almost every small town I've been in. It has become a legend by now. Some variations I heard with goats or chickens, sometimes the missing number changes.

    That's the big reason I decided it was probably apocryphal. Though I do allow for the possibility that it's actually happened in a bunch of places, copycat-style. Kind of like how a lot of high schools have a bowl discreetly hidden on stage next to the superintendent during commencement so that they can deposit marbles that graduating seniors hand to them.

    I like how the useless censorship makes it worse.

    We really need to fight back against needless censorship. It's like now we gotta admit 1984 was bullshit. You don't need a giant government to make people censor their words, we fucking do it ourselves.

    We do it because we're all haunted by 'the algorithm' which 9 times out of 10 never works as people think it does. Did you know Youtube doesn't censor or surpress your video if you say the word "fourteen" when referring to a person who was GROOMED?!

    Holy shit, this is driving me insane. I'm actually gonna go full shizo one day, I swear to god.

    I do this, but with tiny cats. When I get a new spool of filament, I like to do a quick test print using a cat model that stands about 2cm tall. Then I post it somewhere randomly in the house, out of normal site lines, usually looking down because that's what cats do.

    You never forget the people that leave you. But you do remember them very, very differently.
