Not the things that you depend on, but automations that are just for fun

One of the dumb things my girlfriend and I do is call out one another for forgetting about Dre.

I have a Home Assistant automation that simply sends the following message as a notification to her phone:

"Reporters are on the scene in [redacted], where earlier today, blue collar workers encountered a Florida woman who forgot about Dre."

I didn't set any triggers, just manually ran it while she was at home after our air conditioner was serviced.
