@Seagoon_ Maybe Paul Jennings?
Some supernatural event happens to a kid, that causes the grown ups around them to be covered in snot is the most Paul Jennings plot he's never written.
You could even call it something like Unblocked...

@Duenan @Taleya "A mother says a man armed with a knife told her to 'just stop crying' as he forced her to drive and buy laptops in Melbourne's south-east while her six-month-old daughter sat in the back seat.
...
"Police say the victim was getting out of her car at the Stud Park Shopping Centre [in Rowville] last Friday night when she was confronted by a man who threatened her with a knife and forced her back into the driver's seat of her Suzuki S Cross."
There was a thread on here about someone considering moving to Rowville?
Yeah, here's a good example of why that's a bad idea...
@Seagoon_ I just stopped by the shops quickly, and while I was there, picked up a freshly-made cinnamon donut.
Nom Nom Nom.
@Seagoon_ @StudChud UGH! Of course that's when they'd come!
And then instead of one long relaxing shower, you end up with two half showers 😔
Seriously, it's the kind of thing that would make me a grump all day.
I hope it was at least someone or something important at the door.
(If it's just some salesman who's promising to cut your power bills, in the circumstances you're completely justified in chasing him off with a cricket bat.)
@denshirenji @asklemmy On photos, does NextCloud Photos or Memories play nice with Digikam or any other desktop photo gallery applications? And what about Immich?
@msdropbear42 @TinyBreak @Seagoon_ Greasy lukewarm dead bird in a cardboard bucket, as a friend used to call it.
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak Totally.
Honestly, I feel icky just thinking about KFC food, it's just so greasy.
Unless you have a specific craving for the greasiest thing imaginable because you're pregnant/emotionally eating/have cramps/have a hangover/are really drunk/are six-years-old, I don't know why anyone would want it?
@Seagoon_ Overheard in the office...
Colleague one: "As you are aware, we've decided to postpone <event> until August or September. Can you change the dates on the website please?"
Colleague two: "No, I was not aware, thanks for letting me know. When was the decision made? I'll update the website."
Colleague one: "I am very sorry, I thought you were aware."
The "Manager" strikes again.
@Pilk @melbourne_wanderer Wifey had COVID about a month ago. It was really bad for a week, including intense migraines, but then cleared up.
About a week after most of her symptoms cleared, she began regaining her sense of taste.
A couple of weeks after that, we were in a queue outdoors and she complained: "Ugh I can't stand the smell of cigarettes. Wait — I can smell the smokers! This is amazing! I CAN SMELL THE SMOKERS!"
Your mileage may vary, but for her it was mostly back within a month.
