My niece had this! Her parents elected to leave her without a belly button and, yep, no visible scar tissue :). Pretty incredible, given how dire things looked when she was born.

Our croaky old lady Tali wishes to be considered, and is actively supervising as I post this :)

I use the em dash constantly, and have done for years, so finding out it's a big "this was written by AI" indicator makes me sad — I'm not an AI user, I just like the way it looks!

Very sage advice, though in this instance the issue was more me trying to tear off a small piece of tape by holding the dispenser at face level with the blade facing towards me... Whilst pushing the strip of tape away from me to try and tear it. I learned an important lesson about physics that day.

Managed to perfectly perforate my chin with one of these as a foolish 16 year old in my first job. Entirely user error (I'll let you guess how) and left my chin looking like you could tear it off like a postage stamp for weeks after.

Safe to say I wasn't allowed to use it again after that, so my only experience with these is that they're terrible - though that's probably not a fair judgement given the circumstances 😂.

Read "ranges" as "wages" and was tremendously confused for a minute...
