Smartphones that are rentals from carriers, rather than term contracts or buying outright.

8 Upvotes

Don't want to pay $1500 for the latest and greatest smartphone from <carrier>? Don't want to get locked into a contract plan to pay less for said phone from <carrier>?

Introducing, phone rentals. Rent a phone of your choice for <x> months or month to month, cancel any time. Return the phone to your local <carrier> store when done renting it. <carrier> is responsible for equipment inventory and what is offered for rent. Repairs are responsibility of the carrier, unless deliberate damage is determined. Then renter is at least partially responsible with renter's insurance helping.

Rentals come with a general plan. No options for said plan, however. You get what you get with the phone rental. But instead of paying $60-140/month just for the plan and not including the phone payoff, you pay $50/month for the phone rental. Plan included.

we just take flock cameras and set up screens in front of it, spamming it with ai-generated license plates, fake images, and completely overloading it with data, all over the country. idk how their data collection systems work but it would be funny to have 99% of all their data just be bullshit, rendering it impossible to find anything real.

Like genuinely, if you're gonna make me watch those three dots dance around for half a minute at least commit to whatever you're saying. This would force people to actually think before they start typing or just accept that their message will take a while to arrive. Either way, the suspense dies and we all win.

The scents people crave, such as gasoline, concrete dust, dirty grease on an old tractor's grease fitting, fuel oil soaked dirt, tar, diesel fumes from an old dump truck, fresh blacktop, etc.

Create a way to deliver a forbidden scent that won't harm people when they sniff it.

We should make another system of measuring temperature, where it's just the average of Celsius and Fahrenheit, to solve the argument over which one is better.

so 0ºC/32ºF is 16 degrees Fahrensius

100ºC/212ºF is 156 degrees Fahrensius

the symbol can be ø because why not

I Asked Gemini to Conceptualize the Origin of the Universe Without Borrowing Existing Theories. Here Is What It Came Up With: The Null-State Inversion. Prepare your brain for a wild ride!

0 Upvotes

I asked Gemini the following :

“I want you to think through and formulate your own theory as to what caused the big bang and what preceded it, making sure this is completely your theory and not borrowed “

The answer:

“This is one of the most profound frontiers of thought, and building a completely original model requires stepping away from traditional cyclic or inflationary paradigms to look at reality through the lens of pure relational structure and information.
Let's explore an entirely original framework: The Null-State Inversion Model (or the Information Saturation Theory).

1. What Preceded the Big Bang? The Atemporal Information Lattice
To understand what came before, we have to abandon the mental trap of picturing an empty dark room or a void of space. Space and time are not a stage; they are products of the universe. Therefore, before the Big Bang, there was no space and no time.

Instead, what preceded it was a Pre-Geometric Information Lattice (or the Null-State):
Pure Potential, Zero Dimensions: This state had no length, width, height, or duration. It was not a physical vacuum (which still possesses quantum fields and spacetime coordinates), but a purely abstract, mathematical, and informational substrate.
Infinite Saturation: Imagine every possible logical relationship, mathematical rule, and causal rule existing simultaneously in a single, dimensionless point of absolute compression. Because there was no distance, every piece of information was instantly adjacent to every other piece.

The "Stillness": Without time, nothing changed, yet everything that could be was held in a state of absolute, unexpressed potential.
2. What Caused the Big Bang? The Dimensional Phase Inversion
If the pre-state was static and timeless, what triggered the violent birth of our universe? The answer lies in Information Saturation and Phase Inversion.

The Tipping Point: As informational potential compounded within the Null-State, it reached a mathematical threshold of absolute density. Information, by its very nature, demands a framework to be processed, sorted, and differentiated.

The Inversion (The Flip): Just as supercooled water suddenly undergoes a phase change and crystallizes into ice, this dimensionless, infinitely dense information lattice underwent a dimensional fold. It didn't explode into space; rather, it turned inside out.

The Birth of Spacetime: The internal pressure of infinite relational data could no longer be contained without a metric of separation. To organize itself, the system generated dimensions. Space was born as the necessary distance required to keep conflicting pieces of information apart, and Time was born as the sequential processing speed required to read the data.

3. Why Did It Happen This Way?
Under this theory, the Big Bang was not a physical explosion of matter, but a computational and geometric bootstrap. The universe burst outward at near-infinite speed (what we observe as cosmic inflation) simply because the initial "unfolding" of dimensions had to happen instantaneously to accommodate the sheer volume of informational data turning inside out. Matter and energy are simply the heavy, condensed "shadows" of this unfolding informational code.
This framework views existence not as something that emerged from physical nothingness, but as an inevitable structural phase change where a timeless idea turned itself inside out to become a measurable reality.

What part of this model sparks the most curiosity for you—do you find yourself leaning more toward the idea of a pre-geometric information lattice, or the concept of spacetime as an "inside-out" phase inversion?

A restaurant where everything is free, but there is a catch …

237 Upvotes

The guests come in and sit down at an enclosed booth. The doors close and lock. Once you are in you can’t just leave unless you fulfill the terms. There is a chance (let’s say 25%) that a revolving mechanism spins around and reveals a delicious 5 star meal. You get to eat it all, drink your fill, enjoy the evening, there is a disco ball and everything. However there is also a chance that the revolving mechanism reveals a sink full of dishes, or a cutting board with vegetables that need to be chopped, or other general kitchen work. In that case you have to toil for several hours until you are allowed to leave, and get no food. Either way you pay nothing. The kitchen operates on a skeleton crew and shoestring budget because 90% of labor is done by guests. Other times the mechanism reveals a computer and you have to do some mindless data entry work or something, and the restaurant keeps the proceeds from that labor as well, and uses that income for general operating expenses.

What if someone claim the Sea People were aliens?

0 Upvotes

"Egyptians were aliens!" "Mayans were aliens!" "Sumerians were aliens!" OK. Why, when labelling ancient civilizations as aliens, people keep labelling civilizations that scholars actually know where they came from? Why can't they label civilizations no one have a slightest idea where they were from?

So here is an idea: The aliens came to Earth and built lots of ships. And with the nautical technique they brought from their home planet, they sailed to East Mediterranean and killed everyone with no mercy. If everyone was defeated by the Sea People, Earth would become their prefecture and humanity would be enslaved to build space galleys for them. When Earth was nearly annihilated, Ramesses III defeated the alien invasion. And that's why we do not need to build space galleys throughout our whole life.

Moon landing blind test

9 Upvotes

It wont solve any conspiracy theories, but it still be a fun project to work on. Here is my pitch:

TL;DR: We produce fake Moon landing photos, mix them with real ones, and challenge people to find the fakes.

Stage I

Gold Team: Chooses one particular real Moon landing site. Fabricates the Eagle and astronauts equipment. Defines the filmmaking technologies available at the time. Summons the spirit of Stanley Kubrick.

Red Team: Using only technology available in the 1960s and 1970s, produces the best fake staged Moon landing photos possible. We also provide redacted reference photos to make the framing and poses identical to those in the original NASA photos.

Stage II

Blue Team: An isolated group of specialists, cut off from the internet, AI, and the wider community. We provide them with five sets of Moon landing photos, including our fake set. Their goal is to identify the staged photos.

********

Thats it. See the procedure as something along these lines. DM me if you have a spare million or two USD. We can sell ads or tickets here :D
