also an golden oldie but since i haven't memorialized it here,
reverse birthdays - on your birthday you give other people gifts. that way you never have to worry about remembering anyone else's birthday, and also throughout the year you receive reverse birthday gifts from your friends rather than consolidating the whole thing into one day, and also it transforms the day into a celebration of your friends and family rather than a celebration of a single person
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:21 (eight years ago) link
i have heard that discussed before. possibly as a made-up custom in a work of fiction, like something they do in gunk's homeland in the comic strip 'curtis.' or is it part of a very merry unbirthday? or something hobbits do? anyway it seems like a great idea imho. a society organized more around communal ties and giving vs. getting would have totally come up with that centuries ago.

I had to do a double take there, because in England pants = underpants. Actually that reminds me of an incident at a place where I used to work. I was talking with two of my then colleagues and there was a three/four second pause in the conversation, which was broken by the non-English* colleague saying "I need to buy some more pants", which resulted in the English colleague and myself going o______________O
(*ie from a country where pants = trousers)

a turntable with a large bowl above a non-adjustable tracking force weight. parents can fill this bowl with vegetables to be sure their hipster child cannot listen to records until he has eaten his vegetables.

or you can fill it with cat food and have Bob Seger alarm you that your cat is low on food

maybe the bowl has a heating element so that you can boil water and use it as an alarm for a duration set by the amount of water you put in

a multidisciplinary meta sports league called Skill that sends its representatives to different sporting events to judge the teams based on their adherence to proper form rather than how many goals they've scored. the NBA might award the Hawks a 115-to-104 victory over the Celtics, but the Skill judges, taking into account the quality of every pass, jump, and guard, might award the Celtics an 827-to-784 victory in the same game. the Skill scoring system will be scaled so that you can compare the best basketball team to the best air hockey team or the best tennis player to the best conkers player, and Skill awards ceremonies will be a zoo of athletes who would otherwise have nothing to do with each other.

I'm not sure how Skill judges would deal with sports like gymnastics and dance where athletes are already judged solely on form. I guess they'd just cosign the official scores.
