🙅 THE BAD IDEAS THREAD
-
I think it's pretty obvious that hop 10 -> hop 11 isn't a trans-atlantic hop. But yeah, I would say either hop 12 was in fact left-pondian, or ANet's servers (or @ben_lubar's network/uplink) was having a bit of a hissy.

Bad idea: bomb a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital!

That's basically something a cartoon villain would do. So I guess I live in a country run by cartoon villains now. Well, time to go buy a stupid green outfit and a cane with a question mark on it.

Does English have shift-reduce conflicts?

The DoD sure is demonstrating how much they deserve to get the lion's share of the federal discretionary budget, aren't they?

Does English have shift-reduce conflicts?
Languages don't have those. Implementations of recognizers might, since they don't like to use a non-deterministic parsing strategy. That said, English most certainly does have ambiguous phrases that admit multiple parses; they're considered to be things that indicate the speaker/author is not thinking very carefully.

Shut your pie hole, you whining Commie bastard. You're either with us or with the terrorists.

Spoilering doesn't work on lightboxed images anymore. Apparently, clicking to see the full size version is more important than any possible spoilering.

Bad idea: report hospital bombings in a mealy-mouthed fashion that pisses off Glenn Greenwald.

This design.

No way is that a Belgium accident!

Considering that ducks have cloaca, that's pretty much the only way for a duck. But still, eew.
Just taking the name 'Duck Duck Canal' at face value leaves all sorts of questions. The kind of questions even DuckDuckGo can't answer.

Especially when you must have an iOS device to access Peeple at launch.
It's a premium sort of site, is all. Stop being so ghetto.

Maybe someone could name a protein after 4chan, then. Does bat guano contain DNA?

Bad Idea #9059:
The app that The Washington Post famously dubbed “Yelp for People” has not actually materialized—its purported release date is “November 2015.” No one has seen or used the
app outside of a few alleged screenshots.The online presence of the widely lampooned app Peeple, which apparently allows people to rate individuals, has been pulled from the Internet. As of Monday, its website has been removed, as have its Facebook and Twitter accounts. Meanwhile, the company’s Instagram account has been set to private as of Sunday.
Its previous YouTube videos have also been yanked except for one, released on Saturday, entitled “Peeple Watching Ep11 - Viral & Global in 24 Hours.” It features the company’s cofounder, Julia Cordray, essentially congratulating herself on garnering so much media attention.

Bad idea:
arstechnica.com
Peeple lets you leave Yelp-like one-star reviews for bad friends, dates
Under guise of a "positivity app," Peeple lets you rate coworkers, friends, dates.
To quote a comment:
What a treat.
Have a bad date?
Wanna forget about it?
Forget that!
Now you have 48 hours to "negotiate" the rating your date gave you!Already covered this. Though it's nice to have an update on the status. Looks like they figured out it's a terrible idea.

And I just leaned not to trust the search function here. Searching for Peeple does not bring up any mention of it here.

Discosearch is perfect. You see, it knew that you had some updated information on the topic of Peeple which we did not have here, so it hid the information from you to coerce you to post it. Discosearch is actually highly advanced.
-
And I just leaned not to trust the search function here.
Just wait till you start using more features!
Like reversed numbered lists!
And
- With lists!
Hold on, does this one work now, or did I mess up the bug?

If you end up on the full page search, right at the bottom, and click Search Help then yes.
I'd imagine most people just give up before then though.

It's also at the bottom of the Options popup. But, then there's also the issue of Google not having indexed the entire forum every day. A search for "peeple", for example, doesn't even return this thread at all.

I didn't even notice that link existed :/ Although I think it's the same popup in either case

CNR it is right there

A search for "peeple" using Google, not Discosearch. Although, I was wrong, Google does return this thread, but only a result from March

Based on the level of literacy displayed by the overwhelming majority of Internet users, I would have expected it to assume you were searching forPeepholePeople Magazine.

That's probably why @wood doesn't want to support them
Exactly, why support something that will only be used less than 1/365th of the time. Android has so little marketshare it's not worth the hassle of supporting it with Discourse.
-
Ironically, searching here for "peeple" returns 4 results, all of which are cases where someone was pretending to be a moron and misspelled "people".

Someone owns sharklasers.com and its not what you will want it to be... =(

Is this for real? If so why? If it is not, why?
Ps I have had a look at the domain you mention.
I would not necessarily consider it a bad idea. An evil idea. maybe. But then, for whom would it be evil / bad?
-
This will blow your mind : sharks that shoot lasers... FROM THEIR EYES!!! That is what I'm thinking when I see that domain and he used it for an anonymous email service. I can't think of a more egregious use of a domain name.
