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.

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
