parking wars is pretty much the worst of humanity on display, just super cringeful tv

one of those "pay in 4 interest free payment" companies, but you only get the portion of the product you've currently paid for.

so if the concert u paid for comes around and you only paid 50%, you are asked to leave midway through. if you've only paid for 25% of your groceries, they give you that 25%, hold onto the other 75% and release them to you as you make the payments. by then they are all moldy

That reminds me, every so often I have the terrible idea of marketing existing food products but at 103% of their usual size to account for what you can't get out of the jar/can etc.
So baked beans with an extra teaspoonful in there because you can't get every drop of sauce out, same for ketchup etc etc

Or you have to wear special headphones that only include the bassist and the drummer, and you're made to wear an eyepatch over one eye.

If I was Jeff Bezos I'd pay to make shot for shot remakes of every episode of old sitcoms, but one of the characters would be played by me (Jeff Bezos). So you'd make a shot for shot remake of every episode of Third Rock From The Sun for example, but instead of French Stewart it would be Jeff Bezos. It wouldn't always have to be one of the main characters either, you could remake Cheers but with Jeff Bezos playing Al.

it surprises me that there is no tech billionaire who has paid to make a shot for shot remake of e.g. Star Wars, with themselves playing Han Solo or something. You'd think there must be some overlap on the Venn diagram of people who want to do that and who can afford to do that. Maybe someone has, but they just haven't publicised it, it's just something they watch in private on their own.

Inanimate object centered horror.

Cut - from perspective of a blade of grass, facing a lawnmower that threatens their existence

Puncture - from the perspective of a tire that is gashed by a nail and must fight to survive

Infected - A computer is affected by a virus which causes it to act in destructive ways

Reprogrammed - a VHS tape is recorded over, changing its memories and personality

I wanted to do a supergroup called Lordy, Lordi, Lorde featuring Eurovision winners Lordi and, uh, Lorde, but I don't think I ever came up with an act for the first name.

So there are standing desks and treadmill desks. Terrible idea: the pull-up desk. A pull-up bar is mounted along the front of the desktop, which is high up, so to type on a keyboard on the desk someone would have to do a one handed pull up and then quickly type a few characters before going back down again.

An actor portraying Lord Emsworth, or "Lord E" can do Vivian Stanshall style monologues while Lordi and Lorde provide atmospherics.

I was trying to devise some inverse 12-tone composition theory where you can use whatever notes you want but you must play them forever in infinite combinations of temporal subdivisions

Dave Mustaine may have been unknowingly using that system for the last decade

wacky updates to 12-tone composition seem like a good use for AI tbh
