later horcruxes would have been a bunch of keys he forgot the purpose of, some dead batteries, and a bit of string

yeah, they're horcruxes now, but seriously, an old diary, a necklace, a ring, an old trophy, a tiara, and a random snake?

oh wow, Omega are starting to make Caliber 321 movements again

For those who aren't total watch nerds, this is the watch movement that went to the moon inside the Speedmaster chronographs that were used in the Apollo program

this idea is free for anyone to make into a short story/novel/webseries/film/tv show

come the apocalypse people will still want their memes

I forsee many people wandering from town to town with usb drives working as meme traders

total cost: maybe £1.10 total because I used some paracord for the handle 'cause I'm fancy like that

for carving things like spoons or bowls out of wood it's usually suggested that you use something called a "hook knife" to get the round sort of hollow shape

they cost about 20 quid

I didn't want to spend 20 quid, so I got a set of 3 ring spanners from poundland and spent some time with a dremel (other rotary tools are available) and made this ring knife type thingy that does the job fine

remember when you had to have separate crossover cables for stuff?
