A restaurant that's both kosher and halal, called "A Two-Steak Solution."

Toblerroneous (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 1 September 2017 02:36 (six years ago) link

not to take anything away from yr terrible idea but technically every kosher restaurant is also halal

Mordy, Friday, 1 September 2017 03:12 (six years ago) link

You're right, the only viable solution is a single, binational steak.

maybe they sit you at your table and take your order. but then they make you move tables before service. another party sits at the original table and orders food. the food for both parties is delivered to the original table, so everybody eats at that table, and it's no big deal because this post is also a terrible idea.

A laptop bag with 'STEAL ME I CONTAIN A LAPTOP' printed on the front in big letters, because laptop bags are usually so obviously laptop bags.

A t-shirt that says 'SCRUB'. Maybe with an arrow pointing upwards, for the sake of clarification.

A trend where all 80s hit songs are re-released with the normal version on the A-side, and a 'mopey' version on the other which is exactly the same but sung all tired and depressed-sounding and forgetting a lot of the words

Shat Parp (dog latin), Friday, 8 September 2017 12:31 (six years ago) link

I want to start a restaurant for the people who are rude to serving staff. The food will be expensive yet mediocre (and possibly gives you food poisoning) and the waiters will be either insulting or inattentive. The restaurant will be called "Serves You Right"

"2 Tbsp fresh thyme. Or one. Or I mean, whatever you can use dried, sorry, I didn't mean to assume you just like keep fresh herbs around, like you have an herb garden or something. But maybe pick some up, if you have "thyme" (haha...sorry, that was a really dumb joke)."

Haha love that one

The Marmadook (latebloomer), Sunday, 17 September 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link

then when they did gigs you would say "I'm going II Soul II Soul II"

if you took a friend you would say "they're going II Soul II Soul II II"

Overheard the owner of the little food stand down the street say "Sharia law is taking over the country! It's awful..." to a friend/regular months ago. People out there believe this stuff...

A band called The Shit. When they go out on stage they can say "We're The Shit". Their fans can say "The Shit are the shit". And their critics can say "The Shit are shit".

Stand up comedy routine that involves telling jokes to a banana on stage because 'at least the banana finds it funny, and it would know because bananas are naturally hilarious'

my two best terrible ideas that I stand by:

Cadbury Chicken - Life-sized hollow chicken made up of chocolate feathers that peel away to become dipping utensils for the yummy goop inside the chicken
Schrödinger's Cat scratch off lottery tickets - If the cat in the box is alive you win! Prizes vary based on the cat's cuteness. No prize if the cat is dead.

Woon... Doopee Time (FlopsyDuck), Wednesday, 11 October 2017 22:13 (six years ago) link

OCD Light Switches - Do you have more than one light switch for the same room/light? Now when you turn one switch off, a signal gors to the other switches and activates a flipping mechanism so that they switch off too! And vice versa.

Woon... Doopee Time (FlopsyDuck), Tuesday, 17 October 2017 11:11 (six years ago) link

Now you're making me think of a way to have light switches that go in one direction to turn on a light, but two directions to turn off. That way, you'd never have a light switch pointing the wrong direction in the off position just because someone used another switch to turn it off.

I haven't done the math on this yet, so don't get on to me if it's not checking out.

touch sensitive lightswitch pads - swipe up to turn on, swipe down to turn off

swipe left to add a color filter to the room, swipe right to send a direct message to your lightswitch friends

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link

But what if there's a power failure and the pads don't work?

pplains, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 17:22 (six years ago) link

they turn into kaoss pads that manipulate all emergency vehicle sirens within earshot

xpost
that's a good point. ok, take the previous iteration, and then add the idea of one employee assigned to observe each light switch touchpad. if the power goes out, nothing will work BUT the employees will remember what was supposed to happen so that when the power comes back on the action will resume right back where it left off

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 17:27 (six years ago) link

if there's a power failure then your lights won't light up either

not to get meta, but...i feel like we're all steve jobs and steve wozniak in the garage in the mid-70s, just innovating, thinking differently

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 17 October 2017 17:28 (six years ago) link

all of the lights light up and you manipulate sirens because your pads dosed you to make the time without internet more entertaining
