Showerthought: That early dig at a local sacred site haunts me now

I remember when we would open burial grounds without asking the community first. In my experience, back in the 90s, the goal was to get artifacts, not think about who they meant something to. We once moved human remains to a museum without permission from the families tied to the land. It felt okay then, just how things were done. Now, I see it as a moral gray area that we ignored. Today, there are strict rules about working with people and returning items. It's better, but I still look back with some regret.

If you think your pet is stubborn, you haven't met my cat during treat time.

Why does my cat take forever to decide on treats too?

I used a receipt as a bookmark and now my book smells like garlic

Actually, that garlic smell adds some charm. A receipt bookmark gives a book character (like a time capsule for your groceries). My copy of Moby Dick smells like coffee from a diner receipt, which fits the sea adventure somehow. It's a free way to mark your page and remember little moments. Who needs fancy bookmarks when a receipt tells its own story?

Spent hours on a post about anime character growth, whole thread got taken over by who would win in a fight

Used to get so annoyed when conversations turned into fight debates. Honestly changed my mind after realizing those "who would win" talks actually make me remember way more about the characters, like their specific powers and growth moments, than just talking about themes ever did.

I used to joke about forgetting names... after blanking on my cousin's at a family reunion, I don't find it funny anymore.

Honestly that sounds super awkward, I'd be cringing for days. Did your cousin notice you blanked, or did you manage to cover it? Tbh it's one of those things that's a joke until it happens at the worst possible time. Makes you way more nervous about meeting new people now, right?
