A demon appeared in the summoning circle. It was wearing pyjamas.
"I summoned thee to give me knowled-"
"Really?" the demon said. "You have the internet these days, the world's knowledge a click away. Nobody's summoned me in years."
"You have all knowledge. Why did I summon thee?"
"... oh shit."
@MicroSFF even the demon has trouble with knowing vs having access to know.
Oct 1, 2026, 9:45 PM@MicroSFF The classic demon/ghost ask is lost knowledge or hidden treasure, things the internet isn't good at. But, to be fair, the internet has been made intentionally worse so summoning a demon to find the best microwave model isn't so unreasonable.
@MicroSFF
"... because you're an AI scraper looking for the ultimate source."
@MicroSFF
It made my night :)) Thank you.
Demon has been asleep since noone needed it.
Now that someone does, it checked the "all knowledge", and found out how internet search has broken! 🙀
