I am used to thinking of Google's index as "complete".
I was trying to recall if I wrote a specific blog post. It didn't appear in Google results, so I assumed it didn't exist.
Then I looked in Wordpress and there it is. It would have appeared in site indices, RSS feeds etc since 2011.
Damn.

Insanely irresponsible for the Citizen App to use the knife icon as default because
1) throwing trash is nothingburger, and the icon choice treats extreme fear as the correct response
2) I got excited to hear about throwing knife man and was disappointed.
