😈 The Evil Ideas thread

One time on vacation my (then) wife and kids decided to spend time in a yarn store taking knitting (or crocheting, or both) lessons. Not being interested in learning to knit, I just wandered around the store. They had a book on spinning pet hair into yarn for knitting. Yes, it's a real thing. However, most pet hair is too short to spin by itself and has to be mixed with wool or some other longer fiber to make usable yarn.

Now you know.

@dcon I skimmed through the code and I didn't see any place where it starts deleting code, so what gives?

@Zecc Do I work with you? Cause we were discussing code deletion in our work Slack channel!

Yeah, it just throws an error in your javac build if your Todo annotation is too far in the past.

This tutorial is the most fucked up thing I've seen in a game.

I can't say anything else, just watch for a minute:

@anonymous234 Really sets the mood.
I'm somewhat a fan of 'HOLY SHIT WHAT' moments early in a game. It's one of the things that made me really like Hob from the get-go.

@anonymous234 am I a bad person for laughing? because I found the bluntness of that hilarious

The OCD community are lining up to flog the inventor of this with live cats.

I do not consider cross-posted positions or positions outside the Chicago metropolitan area. However, I know many programmers in Texas, if you are comfortable with it I will post this position to them.

Leak a big movie 12 hours before it's released. Except you lower the resolution to 144p, add fart noises on every dialogue scene, shuffle scenes, and add random stuff on screen.

Basically make it as unwatchable as you can, because you know some people will watch it no matter what.

Erufael

@anonymous234 For some movies, this would actually be an improvement to the actual release version. :P

Add a very loud 50Hz/60Hz buzz over everything. Make the whole thing sound like it was recorded in a major electricity substation…

He said he was sorry for that! But the scars remain...

@Tsaukpaetra Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, rights, and obligations upon the death of an individual. The rules of inheritance differ between societies and have changed over time.

Edit: this post looks way weirder on mobile.

To clarify, @Tsaukpaetra , these are all also euphemisms for penis.

With poorly done keystone correction that isn't quite right at vertical because the programmer used the wrong floating point rounding mode.

It's because it's difficult, to impossible, to read titles on there, so:

.content  abbr[title]:after,
.content  a[title]:after {
    content: " [" attr(title) "]";
}

To save others the bother

Also maybe instead of an app it's a rootkit so you can't turn it off and it bricks your device if you try.

AR app to add single extra pixels to every thousandth glyph or so. Or heck, any such app. Or just a dead pixel app. That moves when touched.

AR App that adds dead pixels, but just to the sky.
