your terrible ideas

A new film version of the life of Gandhi, but it's a musical using all the songs from Annie.

The Raj will be gone, tomorrow
Bet your bottom rupee that tomorrow,
The viceregency will be abolished

Needs work

Assuming your guys have seen Morbius SCTV favorite Indira already.

Wasn't even thinking of Terms of Indira! A subconsciously stolen terrible idea!

Ha! Here’s what I was referring to:

a spinoff show called Breaking Mad (Libs) where rival ad lib book-making companies go to violent, bloody war for control of the ad lib book empire.

lol, that just put the image into my head of Bryan Cranston standing over a man bleaeing from a gunshot wound to the leg and gruffly saying "I need a verb."

Bojack Horseman did a plot like that in one of the later seasons, with a big feud between 2 guys who wrote jokes to go on popsicle sticks

A Weekend at Bernie’s prequel. Tragic character study of a man’s life, Citizen Kane style, that chronicles Bernie from an innocent youth, through his early successes as a well-meaning young businessman, and finally his gradual deterioration of moral center and corruption by power that lead to his ultimate demise at the hands of the mob. He’s comatose but alive when the pair of yuppies he had plans on hoist him onto a couch and the partying begins. His supposed friends rifle through his pockets for drugs and dance around him as a Rosebud recollection of lost innocence and lost love flickers internally until his heart finally gives in and he dies unnoticed.

^ not at all terrible

Not my terrible idea but an actual terrible idea someone else has foisted upon the world or at least the South East of England. I was in Sainsbury's yesterday and bought some paracetamol. This afternoon at work I had a headache and took a couple. However just before doing so I noticed that 'Each tablet contains: Paracetamol 500mg, Caffeine 65mg". So each standard dose of two tablets has more caffeine than a medium sized can of Red Bull. But I had a headache and nothing else was available so I took them anyway. Whose brilliant idea was this?

colleague: "Paracetamol in the conference room!"
snoball: "I'd like to swallow some of that! Namely 2 x tablets containing 500mg of paracetamol each as I have a headache and that's the recommended dose also I shouldn't have shouted just then should I because I have a headache right?"

snoball goes down to the conference room, sees it's paracetamol tablets with caffeine not just regular paracetamol tablets...

snoball: "RAARARAGGRR!!!" *Hulks out in caffeine induced rage*

a website like twitter where every post is just replaced with pics of dog turds and it's called Shitter.

and once it goes live, Twitter is shut down permanently and redirects to this site.

Probably less terrible than whatever Elon has planned...

OK so according to a colleague at work, the reason for caffiene in paracetamol tablets is to speed up the absorbtion of the paracetamol into the bloodstream.

Paracetamol: "caffiene in the conference room!"
snoball's bloodstream: "I'd like to absorb some of that!"

like did you spend two weeks not realizing the reason they’d put caffeine in without looking it up or

tbf the product called “excedrin” has been a standard in the US forever, that combination, get your paracetamol fix on quick

I can bring water to a boil more quickly if I use multiple pots and kettles with smaller amounts of water in them and then combine all the boiled waters at the end

Sell sets of 4 mini-kettles that each hold 1/4 of the water you need. Would be perfect for a conventional stovetop

uh tbc I'm not talking about the porn industry mixed with children. In this case, dirk is a terrible dad whose "gift" is his son, so he produces low quality videos of him opening toys.

Perfect tag line for the movie poster

exploitation, hubris, tragedy, a man adjusting the lighting above a tonka truck, complaining about "tough shadows"

I can bring water to a boil more quickly if I use multiple pots and kettles with smaller amounts of water in them and then combine all the boiled waters at the end

I do this all the time, so I don't think it's a terrible idea. Though I only use two vessels, the actual pot to be used plus a kettle.

:) i did use two last night, for the first time. felt a little silly but immediately was eyeing those other 2 empty burners

if i had a ton of money, i'd see how far i could push that. imagine 32 burners with half an ounce of water on each one. or 64 burners, each with a little pvc drip feed to supply the drips of water to each tiny kettle. some sort of system to turn all the burners on at once, and then, just a few seconds later, tip them down into the waiting coffee reservoir

you need an incredibly hot metal rod next to the stove that you can stick in a single large pot, causing it to instantly boil. do not touch or drop the incredibly hot metal rod.

i love how terrible this idea is getting

what about 64 incredibly hot metal rod, grooved, tilted down (using the power of _gravity_, thank you mother nature). it only takes each of the tiny water sources about 2-3 seconds to slide down the hot metal, but during that time it goes from room temperature to boiling

oh, and not only that, but the excess steam is collected and helps to warm the buns

Maybe you can find a blacksmith in need of forging space? You could make money boiling your water.

put me in coach

what would be amazing is if the steam could be used to heat the next set of 64 incredibly hot metal rods. a "perpetual energy device", if you will

of course, you'd have to arrange the morning routines with the neighborhood ahead of time. the old-timers would kick off the coffee process at around 4 am, make their way up and down the block, and then by the time i get up around 9:15-10am, that recycled steam is just about to get to my place, nice

Karl, I am pretty sure there are aspects of distillation and saltmaking that are done precisely that way (individual modules, each of whose whose heat powers the next one). Not quite perpetual but definitely similar

a toilet that recycles your poos and makes a healthy smoothie out of it

Fuck yes

Ye Mad, that makes me feel good, but I can’t help but feel the next terrible step is to take it to the community coffee level

isn't salt made with an electric current or something

how about an auto-generated thread or feed that is just made up of twitter links that people post on ILX in real time. so i can just read twitter through ILX's eyes and never have to post or interact

on ILX or on twitter, to be clear

Hungry? Perhaps you'd like a POOP BURGER

I updated the Wikipedia article for "poop" with all of the details from the article DJP posted, but they took all of it out cos it turned out to be fake lol
