It's just a clock going backwards with half the normal speed.

It generalizes to the formula r = -(n - 2)/2, so if we want a clock which is right every second, we could have a clock going backwards 43,199 the normal speed...

Another possibility with this idea is to have a normal clock but with the 3 and the 9 numbers inversed (going backwards at normal speed). Such a clock will be right 4 times per day.

We do something similar at work. Except usually the dev department doesn't know until handed the project from sales and so the project goals might be entirely unrealistic given the deadline. What do you mean that feature doesn't exist? Well, I sold it to the customer, they have to go live in two weeks and their workflow depends on this feature.

While I've fortunately never had this happen to me, I'd be tempted to say something like, "Wow. Well, I sure hope you don't get fired over this. Good luck. We'll scope it out and let you know how much time we'll need."

The Whitehouse once called my team at Microsoft and asked for some features.

We said yes, we'd get right on it. :-D

We were all too stunned to have any real feedback.

I like how the product image is um... well-used.

There seems to be a great second hand market for the cottage cheese shredder!

They’re like cast iron pans. The flavour builds over time as long as you don’t wash them too thoroughly.

Scrolling through what's been generated is an interesting way to explore what the underlying image model can represent. Personally I feel like everything starts to look the same very quickly. This is just an observation on image generation models, not a knock against the product which I think is great and had a lot of fun with (I'm the proud inventor of the Cthulu back scratcher).

They can visit all they like, but what else can they do?

Imprison you for up to five years and fine you: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/871 They often don't. But it is not wise to attract their attention if you don't need to. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ks/pr/wichita-man-sentenced-pri... And note the end of that URL. This isn't about Trump. This is about the Secret Service. I'm not being funny here. I'm not being political. I'm not making normative claims here…

I think a head-in-a-basket image is easily an artistic expression. I've seen worse

I’m so envious people get such good ideas. I always come up empty when trying to invent something that is enjoyable to use, fun, funny, partly an art project, partly making us question ourselves and our habits… Of you want a piece of that feeling: https://anycrap.shop/product/regrets-for-what-could-have-bee...

Could you walk us through the process of coming up with the idea for this website?

The website was created for learning and fun a few months ago and forgotten as a completely useless product, I absolutely did not expect such a feedback that I received here today
