in elementary school i figured out how to customize the classroom desktop’s autocorrect to make Word change whole sentences. this made it appear almost like the computer was responding to you. you could, for example, type in “where did i put my keys”, hit enter, and watch it switch to “you put them under the couch”. this was before chatbots, and we were all 9 so i considered it closer to a magic trick than a tech one.
i immediately scripted out a dialogue exchange between me and a girl who had died by the swings (classic). i invited another student over and told them i had found a ghost, then proceeded to type out the pre-scripted exchange. i was immediately pulled into the counselors office. the kicker was that none of the adults could figure out how i did it. i had to show them the menu and everything.
important detail i forgot to add: the swing ghost wanted blood sacrifices from the students. in my defense it was “only a few drops”.
I completely forgot I scheduled this post a year in advance and woke up to see the cat fish of fortune had come in the night to deliver the good news. Auspicious September everybody
