@anotherusername that's more effort and pedantry than i'm comfortable with......
here have this as a bribe from me to never focus that pedant lazor at me instead.

@anotherusername said in The Official Good Ideas Thread™:
If you view it in a mirror, that subpixel representation will be flipped, and the subpixels will be in BGR order;
But this wouldn't be preserved in a picture from the mirror, and can't be represented in a PNG like the one I uploaded.
If the camera's CCD's pixels are perfectly aligned with the pixels in the mirror, the result would be similar to flipping it in MS Paint.

Someone just get @wharrgarbl a so we can move along...

Yes, that's what I've been saying.

Especially my mouth !!!At our yearly "health faire" at work the state patrol had a booth set up and one of the flyers was about road rage.
It had one of those check lists to see if maybe you have a road rage issue. I read the list and out of my mouth popped: "Oooooh! Seven out of seven! Do I win?". Cue one very unamused Trooper…

why don't mirrors reflect good and evil?

Actually, I'd pay handsomely for one that would reverse order and chaos.

This sounds too good to be true:
-
@boomzilla Didn't Volvo already solve that issue by making transparent pillars?
-
@raceprouk I don't know...got a link? I could see how this might be better if the transparent material wasn't as strong or light or something as whatever Toyota's doing. Also, Toyota wouldn't have to pay Volvo to use their (presumed) patent.

I wish Captain Scott would hurry up and come invent transparent aluminum. Though maybe I don't want to see what people are doing with their spare hand while they drive down the road...

Ah, OK. Toyota's solution has more promise in that there are no opaque barriers. Still, that's an improvement on current visibility.

@raceprouk Willys solved it way before

Or vampires.
This one is pretty tough actually. Light has to pass through the vampire so that it can be reflected instead of it.
-
@anonymous234 a mirror reflects the soul. Vampires have no soul and therefore no reflection

That's going to be hard to unify with the standard model.

We've had it for centuries now, actually. Aluminum oxide, also known as corundum, is a transparent crystalline substance that's been known since ancient times. It's extremely hard, right up there with diamond and a good deal tougher, which makes it an amazing structural material... or at least it would if we could get ahold of it in large quantities, the way we can with steel and metallic aluminum.
Problem is, it's very rare in nature and a real pain to manufacture in industrial quantities. And even when it is found in nature, it's not very pure; the stuff tends to be lousy with impurities that turn the transparent crystals red or blue. (We call those two versions "ruby" and "sapphire", respectively.)

We used to use those when we were flying or going to an amusement park or something like that.

So does it convert your JS to .NET and then leave a bunch of comments indicating how stupid and dumb you were for using JS?

Can't Chrome dev tools do that too?

Idea for a horror game:
- elderly relative calls you over to their house for tech support.
- they fell for a tech support scam and gave access to their computer to some unknown attacker.
- their entire house is "smart", so the "tech support" person controls every appliance and lock.
Basically, The Evil Within, but instead of being stuck inside someone's brain, you're stuck inside grandpa's house.
