Welcome, [Enoch] to the esteemed ranks of the
Royal Confusiliers. |
|
|
This is by far your best idea to date, and I am
confident you'll fit right in. |
|
|
Maybe this is why the mormons have special
underwear? To keep the penile-toggle position set
during movements? |
|
|
Would argue that all three potential states are volatile
in the presence of certain external interference. The
likelihood of data corruption could be roughly
calculated
based on instantaneous proximity to yoga pants. |
|
|
There is apparently a fourth state, in extremely cold weather. |
|
|
[Enoch], welcome to the world's most valuable waste of
time. Here is a bun for your excellent idea, and may I say
that I am glad you're still alive. |
|
|
^ or the occasional dangling whatsis. |
|
|
Time enjoyed is not time wasted. |
|
|
And, I find the HB community to be far more clever
than most sites (reddit, facebook, etc). So, I find
true novelty & cleverness here on HB. |

|
//the mormons have special underwear// |
|
|
Well, goodness me, the thing's you learn on Google.
It appears that they were embroidered romper suits. |
|
|
Hmm... I struggled with the phrasing of that quip, and it
appears now that I presented it in imperfect form. I'll work
on it some and trot it out again at the next big greeting. In
the meantime I hope that all who know me will appreciate
the heartfelt sentiment that my words failed to properly
express. |

Quick calculation indicates that if we combined this into
a giant world wide penis storage array, we could expect
approx 288 MB storage capacity. 3.5 billion men * 0.66
because only 15-65 can participate reliably / 8 to convert
into bytes. (+) for a storage that can be combined with
RFC1149 |
|
|
Actually the capacity is less than I stated, we need to
consider some kind of RAID like parity to deal with data
corruption due to death, etc. |
|
|
You'll need to also account for noncompliance and
deliberate malfeasance singly and in groups.
Information security alone will require 50% parity. |
|
|
Don't forget to factor in the large sampling of
population whose members have a bias in one
direction or the other. |
|
|
So yours does too, eh? Mine goes right, which may be
slightly ironic given that I'm left-handed. |
|
|
Too Much Information, [Alt]. |
|

Whilst I heartily agree that the Large Penis Array would be a wholly worthwhile pursuit for the greater good of mankind, I can't help but feel that it is ultimately an impractical (impotent?) data storage device. On the other hand, being able to store a bit of information about your person is useful. The impetus for this idea came about when my wife kept forgetting which breast she had last fed the baby from. I considered various means of storing data about one's body, before settling on the Digital Dick. Clearly the position of my penis doesn't really solve her problem, but it does have other applications. I've been trialling this system now for a couple of days and found it to be a reliable storage device. (You do have to remember to correctly re-set the position after performing other penile functions, but I've not found this to be particularly onerous.) Other suggestions for bodily data storage are welcome. |
|
|
I did not imply anything about my personal anatomy and its general state of neutrality. |
|
|
Oh right so. The idea is for personal rather than distributed data storage. If I might offer an extension: the penis is the radius of the circle of remembering. Round as many of the degrees of this circle as permits legibility, tattoo things that you commonly need to remind yourself of (buy milk, take your drugs, tinfoil apartment) and couple the tattoo with a nice piercing. Use the chain that runs from yr Prince Albert to attach your penis to the relevant reminder stud and before long you'll be able to tell by the direction of your penis what it was you needed to remember. |
|
|
May I also say that this is my favourite halfbakery idea for some time. Excellent work. |
|

|
|
Dear gods, [Enoch] - tell her she should _always_ use
her own. |
|
|
May I suggest that this todger toggle is more like a flip
flop? |
