Maybe replacing jobs with AI was simply an ignorant, superficial narrative that certain gold-digging startups & fat cat business consultancies sold to boards & executive suites as "innovative strategic restructuring" & got paid $millions for it.
Reminds me of "progressive officing".

The cat litter experiment was successful. I covered the shoes in it for the night*, took them out the next day and the stench was gone. I wasn't able to get it out by washing and scrubbing multiple times.
* For the record, I've used a fresh bag of cat litter.
Cat litter has a few advantages over, say, baking soda: it's easily available in large quantities, it's easy to pour out afterwards, and you can put it in the litter box afterwards.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Google (AI mode) correctly found no record of ToxiClump.
Google usefully notes:
"… the phrase relates directly to the popular online safety debate regarding the potential health risks of traditional clumping clay cat litters. Most standard clumping litters rely on sodium bentonite clay, which expands up to 15 times its original volume when exposed to liquid to create easy-to-scoop waste balls. …"

In the absence of ToxiClump, ChatGPT suggestions included:

My kid picked up a (metal) cat-shaped cookie cutter. They discovered that eggs can be fried in it, resulting in cat-shaped eggs.
My wife was making cat-eggs and had leftover raw egg she offered to me.
her: "Do you want me to make your eggs meow?"
me: "Yes fleas"
her: ...
me: "You said 'meow' instead of 'now', right? You ASKED for that."
her: "Yeah, I guess I did."

So I had always thought that Erie liked to sit on laptop keyboards because of the warmth from the machine underneath.
But no, here she is sitting on a bluetooth keyboard (and it's not even on). She does it not for the warmth, but just to be a jerk. Though to be fair, I DID take her to the vet today, so I deserve it.
