like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

The following interaction just took place between me and the child (6F)

Cue the periodic beeping of a smoke detector needing fresh batteries.

The child: what is that?

Me: a beep

TC: what is the beep trying to tell us?

Me: it's a reminder to beep

TC: BEEP!

Me: BEEP!

And so on and so forth for the next several minutes.

Wired with battery backup is a thing; those beep when the battery is low or missing

Yes - I believe it's effectively required by law in most places nowadays so it has multiple sources of power to increase the odds of it working when needed.
