A post that can be updated by any halfbaker giving a
newsletter style overview of the happenings, postings,
top
ideas or other interesting events of that week for people
short on time.
Example: "Lots of crazy ideas this week, the top bunned
idea being from Halfbaker crazy-cat for their
invention
"Halloween Cerberus Dog Costume" where two dogs share
one body suit with both heads sticking out. The post
ignited furious debate about the number of heads
Cerberus
had and even elicited accusations of animal cruelty
causing
at least one baker to accuse crazy-cat of being worse
than
Hitler."
Updated every Sunday by anybody who wants to give an
overview of the most interesting HB events, posts,
debates, flame wars, happy Halfbaker life events etc of
that
week.

This week on the Halfbakery: |
|
| |
Power generation was discussed in a 2004 blast
from the past with scad mientist's "Parking Lot
Solar Farms". In what could be described as a rare
moment of general consensus, the necessity of
diversity of power generation was agreed to by
most commenters with the pros and cons of various
power generation systems being discussed by
neutrinos shadow, Voice, doctorremulac3,
pertinax, scad mintiest, xandram, a1 and
bs0u0155. It also topped this week's "Zombie Post Of The
Week" (where a HB idea from years
past is resurrected) with an incredible 30 new annotations
and 10 new links. |
|
| |
Several alternate methods of grinding coffee were
suggested, "Coffee Cutter" by a1, "Coffee Whacker"
by 21 Quest, "Coffee Whacker II" by Voice,
continuing last weeks run of coffee grinder ideas:
"Coffee Crusher" by bs0u0155 and "Silent
Coffee Grinder" by doctorremulac3. |
|
| |
A distant second in the "Zombie Post" catebory was
doctorremulac3's heavily boned "iPhone",
a somewhat suspicious assertion that the iPhone
was actually invented years before Steve Jobs
started selling them, the only difference being it
could be worn as a hat. Raised from the dead to
garner a whopping 13 new annos and 2 new links. |
|
| |
Most bunned new idea of the week was a1's
"Transparent Aluminum Frying Pan" with a 5 to 1
bun to bone ratio. |
|
| |
Also this week, the most innovative idea was "Halfbakery this week" which gave an overview of the most interesting HB events etc. of the week. The idea itself outlined the kind of idea it was, while the first annotation (by the idea creator) summarised the ideas that had been posted or annotated during the previous seven days. Curiously, though, the details of the posting of this idea was not mentioned in any of the idea itself or the first annotation. The second annotation attempted to rectify this omission, starting by describing the idea itself, and then moving on to describe the annotation. Its description of the first annotation was fairly successful, but its description of the second annotation started to become a little recursive, describing itself in an ever more self-referential way. It ended up by describing its own description of itself, and then it tried to describe its description of its description of itself. The real danger of destroying the halfbakery in a recursive loop was narrowly avoided by describing the possibility of destroying the halfbakery in a recursive self-referential loop of describing itself describing how |

When it churns, Halfbakers of 2035 will note how 'Bakers enthusiastically contributed for half a month, then a few days less than 6 months later, then 4.499... years after that, then after a third of a year under 10 years. |

I was wondering if people here say the *er* in
bakery? My question of the week. |
|
| |
In my american way of blurring English into
something recognizable from the 3 states in which
I have lived …I lazily pronounce halfbakry. |
|
| |
Seemed fitting enough for this week. But being.
Sunday, is it this week or next week? |
|
| |
You mean you mention this place to other people? Is that permitted? |
|
| |
I refer to it as "the stupid ideas website" |
|
| |
But yes I would say "err" |
|
| |
//I refer to it as "the stupid ideas website"// |
|
| |
They're not ALL stupid. Umm.. |
|
| |
Yea okay, they're all stupid. But at least they're...
uhh... Let me get back to you. |
|
| |
So I say bakery correctly. I quess it’s just spelled
wrong. haha linky |
|
| |
Please don’t fight gentlemen. I donated a bun
because we have a place to talk about things. |
|
| |
Thank you Xan, terse remarks cheerfully removed. |
|
| |
I refer to the place as hb. |
|
| |
HB, hb, Halfbakery, hiffidy biffidy, they all work. |
|
| |
I see the Baker's Half-Dozen lasted all of 3 weeks. [Sgt Teacup] you are wildly optomistic. It looks like this might struggle to stay alive to its second week the way things are going round here. |
|
| |
Yea, maybe. Although the "Days Since Hitler Was Mentioned
Here" lasted a few months, not a horrible run. 8th of 7
enjoyed updating that.
Maybe I'll incorporate that as one of the news categories. |
|
| |
There's this great thing called the filter. It can do amazing
things, such as hide postings by people that you wish to
ignore, or who wish to be ignored by you. I had some people
filtered for years. When they posted something, I never saw
it, never commented on it, it was great. |
|
| |
Okay, tune in next Sunday for the week in review
at HALFBAKERY THIS WEEK. All the news about the
Halfbakery that's fit to print. (or not) |
|
| |
Be sure to check out our new feature: "Top Zombie
Posts Of The Week" where Half-baked ideas from
years past are resurrected, given a going over,
celebrated or raked over the coals again. |
|
| |
See you next Sunday, have a great week! |
|
| |
As historically tragic events unfolded in Europe
with Russia seeing that they were overdue for
another world war, Halfbakers did the best they
could to keep up a brave face by fighting about
which former TV star might be blamed for not
adequately preventing the coming apocalypse, the
current president of the Ukraine or the former
president of the US. Good arguments were made
on all sides and after spirited, insightful and
civilized debate, everybody decided to hug it out. |
|
| |
Top idea of the week was 2 fries shy of a happy
meal's "Sand Castle" utilizing a re-occuring liquid
sand feature that had fallen short on other
proposed applications but found a home in a
playground where the sand is made to look and act
like lava. |
|
| |
Top zombie post was the until now underappreciated
"Funeral Barbie", a 2004 post by zigness
featuring Barbie with all the tasteful accessories
she's wear on her emaciated, young girl ego
destroying body, to finally bury Ken for always
having that stupid grin on his face. 8 new annos
celebrated this lost classic. |
|
| |
That's it for this week. Solidarity to our Ukrainian
heroes for bravely standing up to our time's
modern Hitler, Vladimir Putin. |
|
| |
Strength and honor brave warriors for freedom,
may glorious victory be your reward. |
|
| |
I have spent 7 months in Ukraine over the years. There was very little evidence that the man on the street thought much about politics, No matter how much anyone might try to blame the (current) president of Ukraine, nothing justifies this level of invasion. |
|
| |
Thank you 4, I'm aware. Just a joke. |
|
| |
[doc], I honestly admire your relative patience with someone who once went for the throat. Nevertheless, I've been relatively careful to avoid making it personal since then. |
