TIL that the Count in Sesame Street does not count all the time to teach children numbers! In folklore, vampires had arithmomania, or an obsession with numbers. This derives from the old superstition that throwing poppy seeds on the ground stopped vampires because they had to count them all first.

I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.

I signed up for the YNAB (you need a budget) trial. It is a confusing piece of software.

I watched a 30 minute YouTube video explaining getting started that mostly helped. But I’m still a little confused. Then again, it’s only really day 1 of using it (with transactions happening).
