🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
No, I'm just smart enough to know that Chrome has trouble with millions of DOM elements, I don't need a video tell me what should be utterly obvious to anyone (except Jeff)

I recorded myself scrolling through the entirety of TDWTF's topic list. Should I upload the video?
Filed under: all answers will be interpreted as "yes"
I'd rather see a video of you scrolling through the Likes thread.

Unfortunately, the official likes thread has 0 posts on the backup I'm using.

You need a new backup. We're up to 4667 as of now.

Mantis, there's a bad idea for you just to start with.
-
An in-depth special report about a website having a link to a youtube video that preempts coverage of an airplane with 298 people on it being shot down and Israel mounting a full scale invasion of Gaza.

Feature request: this music should play when you scroll in Discourse.
-
"Only seven states have laws surrounding 'Digital Assets'"
And that's not even getting into the idea that there are OTHER COUNTRIES.

I don't know, I was always more partial to this for such occasions:

Thanks for that. I only made it about two minutes in. The regular stutters (in the scrolling; the video was sufficiently buffered) were really driving me nuts. Just one of those "Yay Dicsourse" moments, I guess.

House sharing with people who watch the soaps.
Not only have I had the joys of Eastenders throughout the week, we just had the entire fucking week's omnibus "in case there was anything I missed"
-
Yeah, all the cool kids binge watch Mad Men on Netflix.
-
Never watched Eastenders, but I can't see it being as annoying as Mexican and Brazilian shit they play here. No, wait, excuse me, we're on the Turkish binge for the last 2 years.

Going for a walk in 95 F sun.

That's pretty cold for a sun...

Don't make me flag you.

You mispelled "flog".

A sun? There is only one freaking Sun. I hate when that shit happens, extending one name to everything in that category. Same thing with the Moon, but moon is so standard now I believe that the Moon should get renamed, to Luna or something.
It's even more annoying when it's language or region specific. You know how freaking confusing it was the first time when someone told me they're going to xerox something? Yes, I know about Xerox, but it's a photocopy, not a xerox. Or a freaking polaroid (though that one is borderline, the technology is pretty specific). Oh, and fuck iPod, not the thing itself, but it becoming synonymous with MP3 player. I wouldn't mind that much, but I had one before iPod was even a thing.
How would you feel if I told you I'm going to fetch my digitron (I wanted to link here, but the damned thing is so obscure there isn't a decent article about it on the net, it was basically an electronics company) instead of my calculator? Or kalodont instead of toothpaste?
Now that's a bad idea if I ever saw one.

It also goes the other way:

Well it wouldn't happen in the first place if people didn't start equating a company and a type of product in the first place.

By the IAU the capitalization is how you tell the difference between category and specific instance thereof (though there have been people pushing for changing official names to Sol and Luna).

I can work with Sol.

I know the A and O keys are next to each other on my keyboard, but I'm fairly certain you're not using Dvorak. Programmers or otherwise...

I never said I'm not guilty of it. But me doing something doesn't make it a good idea.

Not any more. They got bought by

People in whose language Sol and Luna aren't the equivalent to sun and moon in English, I wager.

How about MySun and MyMoon?

Bad Ideas: Whatever's going on with the forum right now. Almost everything I see is locked nonsense topics with a single post. I don't get it.

Note that the One Post category is only shown to Level 2 users (at least by default) so it will probably be everyone here normally, but not new people. It is to help test lots o' topics stuff apparently. If you mute the category in your preferences it will clean up the mess on the latest listing.

I always wanted the reverse:
"Please inform us in advance if this server is not going to go down today."
Regular scheduled at-risk periods FTW…

I get asked by Boss + 1 on a regular basis if there are any possible issues I haven't thought of.

That's usually an invitation to think about it a bit and see if you've forgotten anything

I have a go-to response for that:
"Have you forgotten anything?"
"Not that I remember."
