#222You could make money off of this if you are able to pair willing manufacturers to realistic and popular ideas that get generated. It could become a real market place. Hilarious project. Edit: I did both Mouthwash Ramen and Time Machine to the Present. I’m now addicted to this, thanks.
I know of a company that is huge in laser for physics and started like this in the 80s (through magazine catalogs). They would list all kinds of lasers. When they got some offers for one of them, they'd sell it and schedule the delivery in 90 days. Then, they started the project from scratch. Crazy stuff and borderline legal :D
Kinda reminds me of how Swingline didn't actually sell red staplers -- until they realized there was a demand.

#225Probably my favorite description so far https://anycrap.shop/product/broken-clock-that-s-right-thric... This Broken Clock boasts an unconventional timekeeping mechanism where hands randomly align at correct times thrice daily. It may seem broken, but somehow its fractured gears grant fleeting moments of accuracy amidst disarrayed hours. Its aesthetic appeal lies in the subtle ticking sounds between erratic movements.…
It's just a clock going backwards with half the normal speed.

#226Hey! Honestly didn't expect this to hit the HN top, I've already maxed out all my token limits! If you enjoyed wasting time here, there's a Buy Me A Coffee link in the footer. Thanks for the incredible response! This is why I really love building weird useless stuff for the internet. UPD: You guys are incredibly creative! 15000 products generated and counting. I'm laughing reading all this absurd stuff and crying at…
Yikes! How much does it cost you per product at this point??
Less then a cent for a product. ~50k products already generated though...

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...
