"Treadmill treadmill"
"Recursive Jousting"
"More recursive shampoo"

Recursiveness appears to be an undervalued,
yet entertaining aspect of Halfbakery ideas. Is that enough to warrant an "Other/Recursive" category?
More recursive ideas.

The trouble is, for a halfbakery category to truly be recursive, it should only contain ideas that call for deeper and deeper levels of rabbitholesque recursive categorisation. |
|
| |
We need this category, if only to move this request into it. |
|
| |
Wouldn't we then need a category to put that category into? |
|
| |
I'm agin' it! The HB categories relate to content rather than style. |

//"current current" which was a satellite service to tell you
which way the strongest current in the vicinity of an
ocean-going vessel // |

This could be done by a combination of GPS and sensors
detecting the ship's motion through the water. However,
a much nicer solution would be to make it independent of
GPS, and have a large inductor built into the hull of the
ship. Electricity would be induced to flow through this
inductor as the ship moved through the Earth's magnetic
field. You could then work out the ship's movement
relative to the Earth and hence (by comparison with
speed-through-the-water sensors) the local water
movement, by monitoring this current current current. |
|

Of course, special training would be needed in using the
current current current device. This would be provided by
the inductor instructor's inductor induction. |

Since you posted, it's 70 in the search. |

But not all of those are actually recursive ideas - quite a lot of them are just annotations referring or links to Recursive Jousting. |
|
| |
Two of the ideas are mine - I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. |

// Is that enough to warrant an "Other/Recursive" category?
No, but if we had tagging, that would make a nice tag.
(There's only one category per idea - if something is recursive and also about something else, that other thing is probably more important.) |
