The Wrath of Hub

Beatles in My Passway (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 7 April 2023 13:05 (one year ago) link

ZornHub is what I should have written, yes, but my brain was not in gear yet

doesn't seem terrible at all

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

Neanderthal, I really like your horror movie ideas. Could imagine those as animated shorts.

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.

Why not? You should!

Iommi and Banks are also vying for that first slot.

Halfway there but for you, Wednesday, 24 May 2023 14:07 (eleven months ago) link

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 once had a similar concept with Miley Cyrus, Milli Vanilli, and Miles Davis

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

brimstead, Wednesday, 24 May 2023 20:10 (eleven months ago) link

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

the manwich horror (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 24 May 2023 21:06 (eleven months ago) link

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

this is quite terrible but: how about if we reverse Julian May’s novel the many colored land and add some reverse jubilee flavor: say a portal appears in 1982 London, it takes a bunch of uncouth punks to the Galactic Millieu in the future where they horrify everyone there with their uncouth manners and body odor and completely ruin the stuffy vibe there; hijinks ensue

Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your warrior to me
His mind is not for rent
To any skirt or government
In a boy's dream

a thread for mentioning new exciting threads or threads with interesting activity so I can just bookmark that one thread and won't need to scroll sna

corrs unplugged, Monday, 10 July 2023 09:17 (ten months ago) link

isn't that New Questions?

koogs, Monday, 10 July 2023 11:27 (ten months ago) link

it is indeed yeah

I admit it's a terrible idea

sometimes a random old thread I've not bookmarked is revived with lots of interesting chatter, I've the fear of missing out

corrs unplugged, Monday, 10 July 2023 11:32 (ten months ago) link

If you were the sort of person that Davud Brooks would describe as a "bourgeois bohemian" and someone were to try to monetize your fear of missing out by offering you access to two exciting threads for the price of one, that might be termed BOBO FOMO BOGO.

Then Styx could write a song about it, the refrain of which might begin "domo arigato..."

New No-No Bettencourt (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 10 July 2023 23:05 (ten months ago) link

there should be a #onethread mode, reading only

the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 10 July 2023 23:08 (ten months ago) link

an electric noise-canceling screen for taxi cabs between driver and passenger, that's only deactivated when both parties toggle "i feel like chatting"

ODBMS could also be a laxative

I guess they're old if you needed a laxative

two weeks pass...

A classic rock cover band that throws in additional words and beats to the measure of songs so that listeners experience a disruption of the cathartic anthemic choruses. For example

Take me down to the Paradise City/Where the grass is emerald green and the girls are pretty

Whoa, we're fifty percent of the way there/Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer

Any way that you want it/That is the way you need it

peace, man, Monday, 7 August 2023 12:28 (nine months ago) link

I like that idea and I feel like you could really take the disruption/denial to an extreme, like time it to exactly the most climactic moments of the chorus and make the melody kind of trail off for a couple of beats.
