I hope it’s fine if I post a picture of a manga I’m reading here:

Chapter 6, Chainsaw man 1

[![Chapter 6, Chainsaw man
1](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FtIAL.jpg)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FtIAL.jpg)

The boy lost his pet (it died) and it became his heart.

The phrase she says in the bottom there is tripping me up.

> 心{こころ}の中{なか}にいる **だの** なん **だの** は浅ましい{あさましい}慰{なぐさ}めじゃ！

I think it means:

«As for him living in there, its useless comfort»

I suspect it’s だの (and~) grammar but I know that なんだ is a different thing by
itself. What is going on here?

Question about だの(?)
[According to Imabi](https://www.imabi.net/domodano.htm), なんだの is simply used
when the speaker can only think of one item to include in the list that だの
creates, in essence, making it 'Xs and whatever else'. The context thus lends
itself to the following interpretation:

> Whether it remains there or not, that's little comfort!
