The ^ > v game

I played this on forums before but I can't remember if xkcd had it. Basically, you post something about the person above you, yourself, and the person below you, marking them with ^, >, and v respectively. (You can also use emoji or other appropriate symbols if you want, but I'm sticking to tradition.) The statements don't have to relate to each other but it's nice if a conversation of some sort gets going.
e.g.
^ sounds like they need to eat some food
> needs to go and buy some food
v has some food I can have?
^ lives too far away for me to give them any food
...etc.
So I'll start:
^ does not exist
> is a stinky rat
v is probably less stinky

^ is "wearing" her natural fur, thus not actually nude
> also has fur
v probably either has fur or is wearing clothes

^ invented (something some)time
(you can't see this arrow because it's pointing in a new dimension)
v also invented something?

^ might not have noticed the butterfly on her head if she's looking through different dimensions from the rest of us
> has not invented something but hopes to do so at some point in his life
v knows what they want to do with their life

^ probably didn't know that I was on holiday last week, and so probably nothing I did last Tuesday could be considered productive, unless I'm destined to spend my life catching up on all the movies on my list
> will likely spend tomorrow playing games and eating Indian food
v likes spicy food

^ may like to see an ox tongue sandwich I ate once:
> hasn't had an ox tongue sandwich in quite a while because the place he likes to get them is near the office, which he hasn't been going to because of the pandemic
v has food places they have missed out on for a while due to Covid
