Ok, it's a joke. A good one. But why are people paying money for it?
-
To give away as gag gifts? For fun?
-
Shouldn't that be in the bad ideas thread? Or even the evil ideas thread?
It doesn't entirely seem like a good idea unless you can beat phone addicts over the head with it.

It looks like relatively dense plastic, so I was thinking it would be better for throwing.

Now that is a good idea.

The nophone:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nophone-usa/nophone-0I call "foul". That's just a 2001-Space Odyssey Monolith Action Figure with rounded corners.

I'm waiting for NoPhone2.

And does the presence of rounded corners mean a fruity lawsuit?

Where are the hot bikini babes? I demand another picture with hot bikini babes!1
1Not really. If I want to see a beautiful, scantily clad woman, I just need to go home and ask.

Actually, from their FAQ:
Is this a joke?
No.

Using a bottle instead of the shitty small plastic cups that they give you
I am thinking that just running a hose from the tap to your chair would be a better idea?
Filed under: I just need a catheter now and I won't have to get up for the rest of the day
You now just need a raft to float in the pool and no need for a catheter.

Sounds like a recipe for warm beer.
-
**Is this a joke?** No.
Ah, good to know, then.
-
Not if you drink fast enough. The key is to not let it just sit in the hose.

I like your thinking. So we use a hose to tackle the refill problem, we have a dinghy in the pool to tackle the pee problem, and we constantly drink as fast as possible to tackle the warm beer problem.
We now just need a clever solution for the alcohol poisoning problem.

Some kind of custom high-powered dialysis machine?

I am pretty sure you missed the point on that one. If you are in the pool, the pee problem takes care of itself. Well, it becomes a dilute problem anyway. Manageable, no worries.

Good idea: A beer pipeline.

dying?
While that solves1 that particular problem, it tends to introduce others.
1For certain definitions of "solve."

Unless you're pigging out, 3 (full) spoons of any reasonable size is 'enough'.
Doing It Wrong. Unless you're using a large serving spoon, in which case... maybe.
Bear in mind the 'average' (yes, yes, I know) calorie intake for people "should be" around 2,000-3,000
Doing It Wrong. About 1800 for sedentary WTF posters, more only if you do a decent level of exercise.

EDIT: of course, already reported by the locals.

Sneaky basterd. I reported the 3 km beer pipeline only a few posts higher.
Additionaly the Brugse Zot and Straffe Hendrik that will run through it are worth it.

Heh...I do remember that now. Didn't even look. But now we have a oneboxed article.

Here, have a video of a dog playing in a water fountain as compensation:

For some definition of fun.

Even no definition of fun would be some definition of fun. Therefore, FTFY denied.
-
You know what's awesome about all classic games, is how they devote entire pages of the manual to explaining how/why the game is fun.
Oh wait, I guess they don't have to. Because those games are actually fun.
-
APPEAL! The FTFY was saying that there is no definition of fun which applies to Dwarf Fortress. As in, "No definition of fun applies."
-
DENIED! Even 'no definition applies' is still some definition of fun.

REQUESTING THIRD PARTY ARBITRATION! I suggest @faoileag or @accalia.
DENIED. We both know that I'm clearly right on pendantry grounds and I claim my badge too.
-
-
in the infinite sheaf of sheafs of universes there must exist a universe in which playing dwarf fortress is considered fun.
so.... there's that?
-
Damn.
-
does that mean you lost?
-
Yes.
-
sorry?
-
So, flags plz in honour of my pendantry? I would quite like a badge, where I prostrated myself before @PJH by actually flagging my own post.
