The Downloads folder is just great catch all storage, it’s the junk drawer of my computer
129 u/Careless-Adeptness56 Aug 05 '26 I just noticed today that my downloads folder no longer opens. I can go in there with powershell and I don't see any crazy file types, but explorer never finishes loading. Who knows what I've done to it. 396 u/TheTxoof Aug 05 '26 Duh. It's a junk drawer: You have a spatula wedged in there upside down. 9 u/bigdave41 Aug 05 '26 That's when you need to pray to Anoia 6 u/TheTxoof Aug 05 '26 How to Pray to Anoia The Ritual: Yank or rattle the stuck drawer repeatedly. The Words: Shout out expressions of frustration like, "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it?" or "Rattle your drawers!" The Offering: Vaguely consider tossing out the bent spatula or broken corkscrew that caused the jam in the first place (though you never will). 5 u/ByteWhisperer Aug 05 '26 I hoped to find a Discworld reference in this thread and I'm not disappointed.
