AnonaxA floppy disk that is actually just a whole bunch of SD (or microSD) cards wired together inside a plastic shell to make it identical to an actual floppy disk from the outside, which gets inserted into a FDD that is actually a specially shaped USB (or other protocol, depending on what enables the fastest speeds for the least complexity) port designed to read/write data from/to the floppySD.
A long book series that starts using a standard dialect of English (or another language) and over the course of a million words or so gradually transitions to be fully written in a dialect the author selected or invented, such that a person starting with the last book would be completely unable to understand a single word, but a person starting at the beginning would hardly notice the change.

Oberst EnzianDid you know that if you mix 45 layers of Kevlar, 30 layers of 3000 grit silicon carbide sandpaper, a gallon of epoxy resin, and a few cups of graphene you can create a bullet resistant composite that can defeat at least .38 Special rounds?

RonSupportsYouIn an attempt "to deflect attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein case" Trump plans "to announce he will reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi wrote: "With stiff competition, the planned announcement to reopen Alcatraz as a federal penitentiary is the Trump Administration’s stupidest initiative yet":

rdmMind-bogglingly stupid movie cameo idea.
Whatever the movie is, have some nutter walking around with the traditional "The End is Nigh" sign.
Turns up *everywhere*, never interacts, just in the background.
Movie finally wraps, and we cut to Bill Nighy or Bill Nye, who simply says "The End."
Optional in-credit voiceover of the main characters discussing how the nutter was right, but could not spell.
Proto Himbo DerpopeanI want some cool #hardware #hacking team to casually find or buy at auction a decommissioned military #drone and reverse engineer the OS and hardware controls for cool projects (nonviolent, of course) never imagined by the original creators.
The reason I want this to happen is so that they can put a little jingle on each one of their process videos:
"What would you do with a combat drone?"
(sung to the tune of What would you do for a Klondike bar?)
no brain no painWhat you get for working harder? More work. #stupidideas
Bohemian Peasant HAS MOVED!This has been tried before. I’m old enough to remember penny shortages in the past. Until vendors are forbidden from charging odd #penny prices, this will never succeed. It just pisses people off when vendors keep (steal) the change.

guyjantic has moved!A TV reality show like Pimp My Ride but it's called Blur My Background. People who aren't capable of clicking the "Blur My Background" option in Zoom are visited by zany, somewhat dramatic experts who spend a day and $50,000 to physically blur the space behind the person on Zoom calls. They might paint the person's stuff, set up elaborate diffusion lenses on tripods, place translucent film in strategic locations, or maybe just dab microdoses of vaseline on the person's webcam.
Pretty sure this would be a huge hit.
