ouch...

Reddit was more exciting? I feel bad for you.

Tbh reddit on my phone is more exciting than a lot of things

I like reading comments and watching the chaos unfold in realtime

well yah, there are a lot of really boring things in the world.

And I suppose watching internet trolls flare up at eachother could be exciting :)

Drama can get exhausting, but it can also be fun to watch the fallout XD

I learned all about the false nuclear alarm in hawaii

and then people thought the video of kids climbing into sewers were fake and done after the warning was a false alarm

But then someone tried to look at the shadows and prove them wrong

intense stuff

wow...

a false nuclear alarm in Hawaii, and kids in sewers. Sounds about right for Reddit :)

I'm subscribed to a subreddit where people post pictures of electrical outlets in strange places

3:13 AM

wha?

some guy found an outlet 20 ft in the air above a stairwell

Anyone have an electrical outlet on their ceiling fan?

Idk, maybe

someone found one in a hotel shower

what about in a toilet?

probably not

3:15 AM

In case you need to charge your phone, but you dropped it in the toilet- think of how convenient an outlet there would be XD

We need a "modern architect" to do this!

I'm not sure that works quite how one might think that works

It would be brilliant.

Maybe wireless charger

Someone go ask the Electrical engineering SE if wireless charging works underwater

AHhh especially the wireless charging ports, like in the XKCD phone XILMI

Is that the one with wireless charging ports and no headphone jack?

3:17 AM

exactly XD

of course, there was another one with twelve headphone jacks

How many wireless charging ports?

um... isn't one enough? how many places do you need to plug in your wireless charger?

Idk 2 wirless chargers is better than one

absolutely!

I think its like how structural support works... 2x the wirles charging power means 10x the charging speed

imagine 12x the ports

3:19 AM

oh wow - you could have a patented instacharge technology

You would need ~1200 USD worth of dongles to run that

plug in 12 wireless chargers and you can charge your phone in practically negitive time!

Assuming they charge more for wireless dongles

it is charged before you even turn on the charger!

Schrodingers charger

3:21 AM

The phone is charged in a parallel dimension, and the 12 charging ports combine their power to manifest a charged phone in the physical realm

THAT would make a good marketing campaign!

I can already see the lense flare

I would walk away in slow motion with it behind me even if there were no explosions

boom

but wait... isn't it bad if the product you're trying to sell dramatically blows up?

I mean, it got Space X plenty of publicity - but not good publicity...

Space X got good publicity compared to samsung

Also, spacex has elon musk

what happened to Samsung?

Galaxy note 7 phones are explosive

3:27 AM

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I want!

to set one in fire

All phones are explosive if you do that

Don't f--- with lithium ions

What if you deliberately set one on fire?

I don't think it multiplies the effect

Now if you had 10 phones

...

@X-27 Some of your thumbnails are pretty awesome though.

@X-27 You mean one of those endless tunnel thingies?

@X-27 another almost-except-for-reopen-votes review sweep

9:24 PM

@X-27 Congrats on your review sweep!

I do care :P

I tried to do that once, but failed miserably

gandalf3 arrives

@gandalf3 Whats new in wizard town?

messing around with opengl and cmake

@gandalf3 That sounds vexing...

@gandalf3 That looks like you're going to make an opengl cake

real time cake!

I like that

\o/

9:27 PM

Oh yah - forget having to mix the flour, sugar, coca, etc - I want a realtime cake :)

sixty cakes per second.

O.o

@GiantCowFilms I've gone back and forth between trying to learn cmake and just writing makefiles by hand a couple times now :P

@gandalf3 lol. I once tried to compile open image io.

I don't think I could eat 60 cakes per second....

oh my

9:30 PM

@X-27 It helps to be a giant cow....

unless they were really small cakes.

@GiantCowFilms I vaguely recall you eating pine trees - not cake..

@gandalf3 with tried being the operative word

@X-27 Gotta have desert!

@GiantCowFilms very true. Oh wow - do giant cows get married? You'd have a really big wedding cake.

Like, a wedding cake the size of a mid sized house.

THAT is a event I'd want to be at!

@X-27 I wonder if a cake would hold up structurally at that scale

You could literally TUNNEL YOUR WAY IN TO THE CAKE

9:34 PM

This is sounding yummier and yummier

@GiantCowFilms you might have to cast chocolate I-beams

20 secs ago, by GiantCowFilms

This is sounding yummier and yummier

that would hold up quite well :)

... Until someone reached one of the supports, and ate it because they like chocolate.

That could be a problem.

Of course, Out of all the ways to die, getting crushed by the top floors of a house-sized cake would be a pretty neat way to die!

@GiantCowFilms heh

@gandalf3 As in it did not work XD

10:42 PM

@X-27 pretty much. I think nobody cared after my 20th or so.

@X-27 so you want to die by being crushed by chocolate?

@David Naaawwwwww... Dying from eating too much bacon would be better.

what about beef? (casts glance over towards a giant cow)

Ohhhhh!

that would make a MEGA barbecue!

300 and some odd feet would be more then enough to kill anyone.

@David If you keep talking like that, you might get crushed by cow ;)

10:50 PM

@David 348'

@GiantCowFilms I'd have time to moove out of the way. You'd make a big shadow.

@David You kidding? He'd be able to run really fast.
