I forgot "Jacob's Ladder". Not overly scary, but I liked the concept.

Pretty "short" sighted of them.

Federal Emergency Broadband Benefit Program I figure somebody on here could probably use this.

Do something nice for someone. Buy someone that can't afford it coffee or lunch, something simple. You'll feel better.

Ditto. I like Life/Rice Chex. I remember liking those little variety packs as a kid, where you could open the side of the box & pour the milk in. The worst were plain corn flakes, Grape-Nuts & Cream of Wheat which were always in supply at my Grandparents.

Both Slavic.

More fun is trying to find out more about my (semi) rare surname. In one language, it means Desire. In another language's slang, Phantom.

No, not at all. Switch, the game unit vs Switch, usually trimmed from a Weeping Willow and not as much fun for the kid.

Interesting how saying, "I got you a switch" would elicit a completely different response from the kid you said it to a few years ago.

You get teenage girls to stab their friends? Or was that someone else?

Obviously, I'm not tanning anytime soon. The surprises here were that the family story was that my Mom's side came from Ireland (not) and I really did expect a trace of Jewish (not) considering the Catholic Church's "convert to Catholicism or else" policy way back when in Eastern Europe.

This some sort of NFT scam?

Depending on the timing, Poland fell under the Soviet Union post WWII. Also, people in Europe are taught other languages. My paternal Grandfather spoke 12 fluently, according both to my Dad & an Aunt that confirmed it. I know that Ukrainian was his native language, which is not too different from Russian, and he spoke both Polish and Hebrew (Ukraine was subjected to Polish rule when he was a kid and there were numerous Jews in the area). I'm guessing that Hungarian might have been one as well, since Ukraine was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire for a time. He learned English when he came to America. My Dad didn't know what the others were, Grandad didn't want his kids speaking anything but English.

Whatever country this is meant to represent, I don't want to fall under their healthcare system.
