Hold my third-party clients, I'm going in

Isn't there supposed to be a link to... somewhere? I never found out where it went, but I remember there were links...

[–] ilikecoffee@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, there are... But I don't think this is a proper switcharoo so I didn't put one.

[–] objectionist@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

tried starting this at the height of the switch and got berated for it

[–] ilikecoffee@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Berated?? Why?! It's just having a bit of fun πŸ˜‚

[–] objectionist@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

no idea, maybe just veteran redditors not wanting old trends to come back

[–] ilikecoffee@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You'd think they'd want it to feel like home with all the traditions... And switcharoo was still going strong even when the API disaster happened.

I just told my kids where the presents are, and that they are more than welcome to ruin Christmas for themselves if they wanted to.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interesting play! Let me know how it goes (and what age?)

[–] AnalogyAddict@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I've done it for years. They avoid the present hiding place like the plague. :) I suspect my oldest ruined her Christmas once, but that's all it took. My youngest is very good at delayed gratification.

Fish heads, fish heads, rolly-polly fish heads

Eat them up, yum.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

I think it is a crime that you did not include a link to the post. It's on the fediverse, it's not that hard to find

I like to think I'm somewhat of an investigator myself.

Pro parenting tip: If your kids keep finding the presents you've hidden, put them in the attic. Don't forget to feed them while they're up there.

First I have to buy my kids presents and now I have to feed them too?? What's next?
