I've seen many of our ideas come to be (the sane, and legal
ones, at least), and It would be cool to have a "It's been
created" section, or tag. Ideas that have come to be would
be highlighted in color, in any list or search result they pop
up in.
Any idea that wants this tag/title would
need a link to the
website featuring the product in it's fruition.

'Bakers that spot such halfbakes-come-true typically post a
link to an article or web presence about the new product,
which brings the old post up to the recent 3 page for
everyone to see. While I'm likely the first one here to
welcome ego validation in any form and quantity
(especially if it's _my_ ego being validated), I see this idea
as somewhat superfluous. |
|
| |
I sort of agree with the [Alterother]. |
|
| |
As a compromise, we could agree on a unique word
or phrase (I've always liked the word "Banff") which
could be included in an annotation to any baked
idea. A simple word search would then find all such
baked ideas. Of course this idea would also be found
but, if the convention is indeed adopted, then the
use of the word "Banff" in this idea will be justified. |
|
| |
[MaxwellBuchanan] has it, that's a brilliant solution. It does require that heretofore we presume that all ideas about Banff are baked, but that's a small price to pay. |

sp. fruitification
As [tatterd] suggests, what
about mad,
unrealistic, never-to-be-implemented ideas about
the well-known tourist destination of Banff, Alberta? |
|
| |
We will just have to take it upon ourselves to
ensure
that any such never-to-be-implemented ideas are
implemented. |
|
| |
At a pinch, one could always use the past tense
verbal form, 'Banffed', as in "Apparently, Vernon
will
have Banffed his time machine idea yesterday." |
|
| |
However, I foresee a problem if the term
"Banffed" comes into widespread usagisation. We
may see annotations such as "This could never be
Banffed", which would then nullify its value as a
search term. We will have to exercise
considerable elf-restraint (which is, in itself, a
Banffable idea) in this respect. |
|
| |
What about typos if someone wanted to type "BandF"? |
|
| |
Such mishaps will be discouraged by the institution of
summary execution. |
|
| |
What do you mean "institution of"? I thought... |
|
| |
It's like an institution because it's a cultural thing that is reproduced even though people possess reason enough to not have to be so functionally reproductive. I will now fixate on this idea and reproduce it in my own mind until a sort of madness is produced. |
|
| |
That will make a splendid addition to your collection. |
|
| |
'Institution' was the wrong word, chosen for the sake of
brevity. I would have done better to state that 'the
existant policy of summary execution in punishment of
various breaches of Halfbakery protocol and customs will
be extended to include typographical errors resulting in
the words Banf, Banff, Banffed, Banffable, Banfftastic, and
any other currently unknown derivations of same'. |
|
| |
what's wrong with the existing terminology? (i.e. "baked") |
|
| |
I've always interpreted our usage of 'baked' as mildly
derogatory and referential to things that already exist at
the time of the post. This is different. |
|
| |
It's just how the community is discursively regulated. There's nothing wrong with it. It's deep man. It's like a microcosm in the macroverse timothy leary yeah |
|
| |
Entirely and unequivocally agreed. Deep. |
|
| |
//I would have done better to state that...// |
|
| |
//microcosm in the macroverse// |
|
| |
Yet again I find myself being disagreeable. Given
the narrow band in which most of us cluster in the
short-wavelength region of the autistic spectrum;
and given the breadth of our collective ideas - I
suggest that we represent a macrocosm of the
microverse. |
|
| |
//I've always interpreted our usage of 'baked' as mildly derogatory and referential to things that already exist at the time of the post. This is different.// |
|
| |
I have always found it mildly annoying that two completely different concepts (i.e. 'widely known to exist' and 'wow, someone made you idea a reality!') were clumped together with the same word. I think the word 'baked' should be only used in a positive 'wow, someone made you idea a reality!' manner. But you're right, this is not generally the way it is used. |
|
| |
Well yeah everything seems to be some sort of macrocosm of a microverse, but in turn everything is also microverse of a macrocosm. It's like fractal systems theory, only instead of using maths im using LSD. |
|
| |
\what I meant by the statement that the community is discursively regulated and that it's a microcosm in the macroverse, is that discursive regulation can be found in all communities even on the scale of civilizations. But the halfbakery is for new discursion, old ideas are weeded out with "baked", unlike most communities that reproduce the same discursion. However, the halfbakery like all communities becomes confined to that same discursive regulation so that "new ideas" ironically fall into the same discursion, so while the ideas are often new, they are 'halfbakery style'. |
|
| |
BandF, is that like SandM? |
|
| |
An idea could be Reverse Banffed as well. It could turn out that the idea was already baked in the real world, but finding to their horror that the invention was unknowedly posted as new on the HB, the real-world inventor may discontinue making and marketing said device in order to preserve their credibility. Do we get extra credit in that case? |
|
| |
Wouldn't that be 'un-Banffed,' rather than 'reverse
Banffed'? To state that a process is reversed is saying that
the sequence of events or actions constituting the process
have occurred or been performed in reverse order; what
you are describing is a process being undone. |
|

//reverse Banffed// sp. "Ffnabed" |
|
| |
Sir, I regret to report that our main product, the Radium-Impregnated Coffee-Warmer Ceramic Cup, has been discovered to have been Ffnabed. We will need to shut down production immediately and all become Nuns. |
|
| |
//all become Nuns// Is that the opposite of creating something out of nothing? |
|
| |
//Is that the opposite of creating something out of nothing?//
By which you mean "Creating nothing out of something?" Isn't that what we do here on a regular basis? |
|
| |
We saw what you did there ... nice try. |
