A bike seat that leaks blood-red dye into the cushion if a hidden button hasn't been pressed within the past month.
[link]
|
| |
Why wait so long - why not have it activate for each use unless disarmed? |
|
| |
Because I'd forget to push the button often. Hopefully I'd remember at least once per month. |
|
| |
Pressing button resets timer holding back powerful spring loaded spike |

[pocmloc] from the help file //cruelty - the idea is a new
way of torturing or killing a person or an animal for
pleasure or revenge. For example new, more painful ways
of executing prisoners; or ways to booby-trap one's home to
maim burglars.// Spring loaded spikes in seats are old
news, and can get ideas into mfd land. |
|
| |
[xenzag] has an excellent point, except for the fact
that this is not a new way of torturing or killing a
person or an animal for pleasure or revenge, and
does not involve a spring loaded spike. Spot on,
[xen]. |
|
| |
OK, good point. So, the spike is fake, the spring very weak and there is a concealed steel plate between the spike and the seat. But it looks terrifying. |
|

See, I was just protecting the bike seat. Bike seats have to be the most frequent bike part stolen. I had several stolen in college. Riding home is still possible, but much less fun. |
|
| |
Your idea would work as well. |
|
| |
[max] has an excellent point, except he fails to notice I was referring to [pocmloc's] annotation and not actual the idea. |
|
| |
Ah - in that case, collapse of stout party and
apologies to [xenzag]. |

Freud was a pseudointellectual and a preud. |
|
| |
[MB] I can only applaud the way you slipped "preud" in there as if it was a word. Or was this just prior to Freud becoming an "ud"? |

//I've had 3 whole bikes stolen, never once had just the seat taken |
|
| |
Presumably there is the third option of someone stealing bikes, but leaving the saddles behind? |
|
| |
"Wo! Piles giving you gyp mate?" |
|
| |
"Na, it's me bleadin' bike seat." |
|
| |
Potentially, instead of just using paint, it could
annotate the thief's rear with a legend: |
|
| |
"Dirty", or
"Kick here", or
"Caution : noxious fumes", or
"I'm with stupid ^". |
