I have at least five, probably six, maybe more, of these little dinguses that plug into my phone's USB-C port, and provide one USB-C port and a headphone jack at the other end, so that I can charge my phone and listen to its audio at the same time.
I can very seldom find any of them.
Are they all in the same obscure place somewhere, an attractor someplace out of sight? Or are they each lost separately, in individual obscure places?
Or have they been stolen by house elves, or the NSA?

That explains a lot!
“Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream;
Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream.”
“So is all conditioned existence to be seen.”
@ceoln The truth is a little stranger than that. Certain objects, and that’s one of them, are simply impossible to produce at our level of technology and are instead objects of pure consensual imagination; We all believe they exist, ergo they do. Being objects of imagination, they can slip in and out of our reality without notice, often because they shy away from the quantum entanglement that comes from observation, hence the moment you stop looking for them, they’ll return.
