While most of the current Flat Earth Society was done as a joke, they've done the joke so well that people who are crazy or just not bright are reading about it and believing it's real. And decide any parts that are clearly joke are proof it's real. It's a danger of doing anything like this as a joke, suddenly you've got a bunch of sincere followers and people start thinking you're as dumb as they are.

I like the idea of sending someone glittery potato with "Merry XMas" written in it in sharpie in February. Keeping the absurdism alive in modern times is no easy feat.

"Like" the idea as in it's funny, not that I believe it. There's a really good Ted Chiang short story "Tower of Babylon" about some miners who are hired to climb to the top of the Tower of Babylon because they actually finished it and got to the part where the sky stopped and needed them to dig up to try and reach God.

I liked that map Kickstarter better when I thought it was about making maps that more accurately represent the size of landmasses relative to each other, so people don't think it takes 24 hours to drive from London to Amsterdam (like I did)

You're also replacing all your sheets with just the one duvet and you have to count on it not getting tossed on the ground. Actually, it looks like it can only be unmade in a few ways where it'll still make the bed in a way that looks like a properly made bed. Like the duvet can't be at an off angle relative to the bed, or too far on any one side of the bed.

Use winches at the bed’s corner’s to pull it into position. It doubles as bondage equipment.

Das Keyboard, famous among nerds, make another keyboard now with more blinkenlights. First, they piss off backers by picking a font that violates the sensibilities of the nerds, and "fix" the issue by providing alternative keycaps people can buy in addition to the originals. Then they send out a backer survey where they suddenly change the shipping fee after the fact; some get shipping around $20 cheaper (money which doesn't get refunded) and some get up to $100 more expensive shipping, and instead of shipping out of EU and US, they ship out of the factory, so all Europeans have to pay toll and handle import themselves. Oh yeah, they do this without even mentioning anything, leaving this as a surprise on checkout. They then send a backer-only update saying essentially "it's better this way." The comments sections are pretty much blowing up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1229573443/das-keyboard-5q-the-cloud-connected-keyboard/comments

Maw posted:"cloud connected keyboard" All those keystrokes I make playing CoD are important... thousands of years from now, when there is no video record of my skills, I want people to be able to look at my keystrokes like you'd look at sheet music penned by Mozart and be all like "holy poo poo! He pressed E to pay his respects!" Also I need to ensure all of my shitposting is saved in the cloud forever, obviously. I mean, in the cloud somewhere else other than whatever cloud SA is on.

well why not posted:Colour controlled via the internet? I'm a little embarrassed that I think RGB keyboards are cool, I certainly wouldn't want other people to be involved. Not to defend it, but i think you can control the colors by IFTTT recipes. e.g. Make a/all keys go red if you have unread emails.

Every time flat earth comes up I like to bring up my favorite Andrew Jackson story, which is that he veto'd a bill that made it through both houses of congress attempting to fund an expedition to establish trade routes with the mole people under the earth. He veto'd it because he knew there could be no mole people living inside the hollow earth, because the earth was flat. Somehow, I feel like "Trade routes with the mole people" is a metaphor for some of these kickstarters. Going after something that clearly can't exist if you apply even the most basic logic.....

There's no evidence other than hearsay that Andrew Jackson believed in a flat earth. It's almost certainly nonsense to play up his image as a uneducated hick The arctic expedition was for exploration (something Russia and England were already doing) and though the hollow earth crazy people were supporters they weren't the reason the resolution was going forward. The bill was squashed because of politics not due to any flat earth beliefs.

Is there really any benefit for having keys in different colors? I remember seeing such keyboards only on really old occasions that were clearly produced before the personal computing hit the critical mass. And our school's editing rooms, but I kind of get that.Serak posted:Not actually an awful kickstarter, but so dumb and pointless, you'll wonder why not:  Is cold lube such a loving huge issue they saw the market gap there? I would think that on cold locations it's just basic survival instinct to not have whoopie/fap if it comes down to use cold as hell lube.
