🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
oh boy.
right now i'm something like the lead dev for that forum.
after a similar incident(not that bad though) we put 3 backup jobs on place
the forum soft makes a db backup. the cpanel acount makes a home folder backup. and the hosting keeps a whole vps backup just in case.this way, dependeing on the magnitude of the fuck up we go to one backup or another.

Bad idea: implement brainfuck using emojis.
So, so bad. Hilarious, but bad ;)
-
replace emoji with private use area unicode code points (the kind the font awesome uses) and you have yourself one humdinger of an evil idea!

Map them into Klingon…
!I wonder what @translator and @GLaDOS will make of that! (It was cut-n-paste from Bing Translate after all.)
-
After 10 translations Bing says: Four to a Klingon in. .. 。 I have a @translator and a @GLaDOS. (This is a translation, it is the intersection of ice Kohler last sentence).
Filed under: English(Confidence: 6.12 ) -> Italian -> Haitian Creole -> Russian -> Chinese Simplified -> Dutch -> Lithuanian -> Latvian -> Slovak -> Finnish -> Danish -> English

@GLaDOS !

so... klingon is danish...

This seems like the kind of thing you shouldn't have to tell people.

Where's @cartman82 when you need him?

Hopefully avoiding garbage cans.

The bigger bad idea may be this part:
People can hand weapons into the police under an amnesty that runs until June 4
Maybe make it so if you are caught with them after the date then charged but still allowed to turn over without charges, but putting a deadline on turning them in means that anyone that missed it (on accident) is likely to dump.

What kind of idiot would throw away grenades they'd paid good money for? Just put a little sellotape over the pin and give them to kids to play with.
-
The evil ideas thread is over there.
-
"The ministry ... appeals on citizens not to dispose of hand grenades and explosive ordnance in garbage containers and such places ... they should instead call the nearest police station and officers will arrive as soon as possible to take the ordnance away," it said.
Also, I really hope those ellipses contain a part where they clarify that it's not ok to throw any weapons in the bin, not just high-explosive ones.

Hundreds of women in London with vagina piercings will be recorded as victims of potentially illegal female genital mutilation under new NHS rules to be introduced next month.
The mandatory reporting regulations, sent to medical staff by the Department of Health, say that any woman whose labia or clitoris has been pierced must be classed as suffering FGM.
The rules will apply even when women have consented to the piercing and had the procedure in the belief that it will improve their sex lives and enhance their attractiveness.
It means that each of the women will also be classed as a potential crime victim and that those responsible for carrying out the piercing could be deemed guilty of an offence under legislation banning FGM.

Criminalising fully consensual acts?

Indeed. I await for penile circumcision and Prince Alberts to be made illegal as MGM next.

There was a case a few years back where someone was in a locked hotel room engaged in sexual acts with a bicycle, who was put son the sex offenders register after a maid walked in on him. I would search for it but I don't want that sort of search in my history at work
-
-
Yeah, I don't remember any of the reports at the time explaining that...
-
To be fair, it's not something I want to imagine… not beyond naïve curiosity anyway…
As I've said several times before: I have enough kinks, I don't need new ones

sexual acts with a bicycle
This is not the first legal case involving someone simulating sex with an inanimate object.
- In 1997 Robert Watt, 38, was fined £100 for trying to have sex with a shoe in an Edinburgh street
- In 2002 the same man was arrested for simulating sex with a traffic cone in front of a crowd of people
- Earlier this month, sentence was deferred on teenager Steven Marshall, from
Galashiels, who admitted simulating sex on a pavement while drunk.
-
That's the one.
Looks like he would have had a case but plead guilty, so had to be sentenced as such. Also:
"This case should not prevent people who want to engage in this sort of activity doing so.

The hotel room was engaged in sexual acts with a bicycle?
And he was locked in there?
Or was it a locked hotel room that was engaged in the sex act?
The hotel room was male?
How does a hotel room have gender?
He put his son on the sex offenders register?
The hotel room?
How does a hotel room have kids?
With a bicycle?
What does the son of a hotel room and a bicycle look like?wat?

Take off the seat.I've learned that from a joke about nuns.

That looks more like the son of a VW Beetle and a coffin to me.

Probably have to Hanzo the bicycle seat off.

What a clever way of avoiding dealing with the people who are actually practicing FGM.

First heard about this on Wait Wait..Don't tell me (on bluff the listener), but just saw a thing on time about it:
-
To the ovens with these people.
-
At least it's preschool and not younger I guess.
-
What, at least they're not wearing diapers and being breastfed...
hmmmm...
-
Pooping the diapers comes later.
Semi-Hanzo?

Playing with subcritical uranium cores is a Bad Idea.
The test was known as "tickling the dragon's tail" for its extreme risk. It required the operator to place two half-spheres of beryllium (a neutron reflector) around the core to be tested [...] Allowing them to close completely could result in the instantaneous formation of a critical mass and a lethal power excursion. Under Slotin's unapproved protocol, the only thing preventing this was the blade of a standard flathead screwdriver, manipulated by the scientist's other hand. Slotin, who was given to bravado, became the local expert, performing the test almost a dozen separate times, often in his trademark bluejeans and cowboy boots, in front of a roomful of observers. Enrico Fermi reportedly told Slotin and others they would be "dead within a year" if they continued performing it.
On the day of the accident, Slotin's screwdriver slipped outward a fraction of an inch while lowering the top reflector, allowing the reflector to fall into place around the core. Instantly there was a flash of blue light and a wave of heat across Slotin's skin; the core had become supercritical, releasing an intense burst of neutron radiation estimated to have lasted about a half second. He quickly flipped the top shell to the floor. [..] Slotin's body's positioning over the apparatus also shielded the others from much of the neutron radiation. He received a lethal dose of 1000 rads neutron/114 rads gamma in under a second and died nine days later from acute radiation poisoning.

Stan Lee churns out yet another origin story....

Unfortunately in Real Life™ a large dose of radiation usually means you just die... :(
-
Maybe that's just what the gummint wants you to think, because they don't want you to know about the secret radioactive mutants they have working for them.
-
Why would lizard aliens need radioactive mutants?
You're being silly.

I hope no one was seriously hurt in that.
I also hope that the driver's insurance refuses to cover it.1
1 I'm also not sure whether this statement itself belongs in this thread or not.

if he has comprehensive they probably will. but he's also clearly at fault there so he'll be getting significantly higher premiums for at least 7 years and he'll likely have a hard time getting insurance covereage anyway, even without the higher premiums
