I've even got a specific thread for unreal alcohol.

451 return code -as-a-service. We'll resolve your bullshit URL as a 451, so you can look like it's repressed information rather than imaginary.
Leaning toward an acronym of CASTVIITS, if I can get there.

@boomzilla Oof.

@boomzilla And, entirely by coincidence, there were two Alyssa/Tim couples at the game that night.

@boomzilla Fail. This makes contact when mounted. It should instead be designed so it doesn't make contact until it is picked up.

We're watching 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' and now I'm seriously considering giving everyone memberships to the jelly of the month club and letting that simmer for a day or two before giving everyone their real Christmas bonus.

Definitely evil.
Pranks work best when there is no injury and the surprise is good news.
Those fake winner lotto tickets are the worst. I think cruel.

I suppose no one will panic and/or be so angry as to have a serious health consequence.
I'm guessing most of your employees would like, this fucking asshole.
I'm assuming employees based on the phrasing "Christmas bonus".

Yeah, but they already know that.

@HardwareGeek Still, there is a difference between thinking "my pal is a fucking asshole" and "my boss is a fucking asshole" and no matter how well @Polygeekery gets on with his employees, they're still his employees.
But since he posted that in "Evil ideas" thread (not even the "good, bad or evil?" one), he clearly knows as much.
Still, great idea. Evil, but great.

@remi the thing is, they would all get the reference. They also know that I actually enjoy giving bonuses. I'd wager that if I did it they would either call me out immediately or just ignore it to troll me back and ruin my fun.

Breed up the Basenji as big as you can with mastiff stock while retaining the tonal characteristics of its call, and market the result as the Cwn-Awn.

Eternal Cricket
Maybe like a 13Khz piezo, chirp for a very short time, then random sleep for anywhere from a day to a year, rinse repeat, on an isotope battery. Should end up about the size of a bottlecap, or less, these get easier and easier to miniaturize. Generations of fun for whole families.

I think this can safely be said to belong here.

To swap the contents, you need a 3rd jar, so:
She'll fit right in here.

@dcon There seems to be one just barely in frame on the left

She'll fit right in here.You don't need a third jar, as long as there's enough space in the jars to stratify the contents into layers via a high-power sound - if so, you can use a physical implementation of the "stupidly clever" approach to swapping small integers.
Also the jars need to be able to pass through one another to do that - this seems fine, it doesn't alter the fundamental constraints.

And the tea! Unless it's herb tea, in which case, well, it's only mildly awful instead of downright nasty.

Aren't they all by definition? Assuming they actually contain tea, that is.

Might as well throw out the jars entirely, they're obviously compromised

In the US (at least), "herbal tea" doesn't have any of the actual tea plant (Camellia sinensis) in it, while unmarked "tea" is Camellia sinensis with something else possibly in it.

This is the right thread for you, then =)

I think you do, and that word is "tisane"

@hungrier said in 😈 The Evil Ideas thread:
tisane
You forget, I qualified it with 'as a staunch Brit'. I could not possibly be seen to be condoning or evangelising a word that came via French, even if it has Latin and Greek roots.

Yes, if it doesn't contain Camellia sinensis, it's not tea. Unfortunately, this is a coverage hole in food labeling laws, as it's perfectly legal to call, say, chamomile tea "tea", even though it's not tea.
And if you don't like the word "tisane", call it an herbal infusion or herbal beverage or whatever; just don't call it tea.

@HardwareGeek you and I are on a very aligned wavelength.

It's been a long time since I did anything with ham radio, but when I did, it was mostly on 2 meters. However, that's not a very useful wavelength to aligned on; it's basically short-range, more-or-less line-of-sight. 20 meters would be much more useful for aligning with the other side of the pond, but my license doesn't let me use that wavelength.

You sound like the Virginia state senator who decided "milk" could only come from cows ("the lacteal secretions of a bovine animal") and tried to get that passed as law. Maybe they just had it in for the soy milk people, but in the process they also tossed out goat's milk and mother's milk.
