A system to publicize friend-death as robustly as possible.
Diplomacy is a game that breaks people. It involves betreyal and backstabbing over a long period of time. The premise is simple: the players are all world powers and they control armies. Each power wants to control as much territory as possible. All moves are deterministic, there is no randomness to the game. However, people can lie about what they plan to do.
Playing diplomacy is a bad idea in itself, but writing complex code to publicly render an otherwise private, simple game is a genuine waste of raw creative energy.

Convert locations to notes, and back.
Translate geographic locations into a three note chord that you can play on a full sized piano keyboard. This sounds useless, but now you can sing your directions to your friend, build an ocarina interface to google maps, or automatically generate spotify playlists for your road trip.
A book about eggs.
Nobody wants to read facts about eggs .... ( or do they? 🤔 ) We are spending dozens of egg hours harvesting #eggfacts, creating accompanying content / illustrations, establishing printing / shipping logistics, buying eggs and writing #eggfacts on them (stretchgoals), decorating eggs with dog hair (to create unique eggcharacters - (super stretch goals)), only to sell exactly zero copies (unless we buy them ourselves).
You ask the compass, "How am I going to die?" It answers, "🦉🍞."
The Dark Materials trilogy is centered around a "Golden Compass". Its official name is alethiometer, or "truth measure". The device is like a compass, in that it's the size of a pocketwatch and has needles that spin toward answers. Its face shows 36 symbols, each of which can represent 12+ ideas, concepts, or literal meanings.
To use the compass, the user sets the three needles to three symbols that frame the question she is posing, and then the alethiometer spins the needles to three symbols to provide a cryptic answer. This answer is truth, but must be carefully interpreted.
A screenwriter for your inane Internet chatter.
Research suggests that that there is no such thing as a singular "true self" [citation needed], and that one's behavior instead subtly transforms when one is placed into different contexts, for various reasons, such as the desire to be accepted by a social group, or to attain status in one context but to remain unnoticed in another [citation needed]. When observing a person interacting with a particular social group, physical and behavioral cues, including posture, location and proximity to other persons, speech patterns, volume, gestures, and other interpersonal dynamics are signs of the role that this person plays within this group [citation needed]. As such, all real-life interaction are inherently performative [citation needed]. Yet, when these cues are stripped away, as in the case of a text-only medium like Internet chat, one's intended intonation and voice are obscured, and indeed the speaker is stripped of personality and performance [citation needed]. By interpreting the subtle cues that may be present in the act of typing itself, physical cues can be translated into stage direction for later re-enactment [citation needed]. Yet the multitudes of differing adaptions of the textual content of a play lends itself to a rich tapestry of interpretation, reminding us that all text, and perhaps even all physical and behavioral cues, are filtered through many lenses including that of the viewer, such that the "true self" of the original speaker may remain completely unknowable [citation needed].
🤔 is hard, let mindless 🤖s help you do it
Truth Goggles is an attempt to help people 🤔 more carefully when reading information online. It's based on cutting edge science about all the ways people can screw up with consuming information. There are so many ways. This project is funded by the Duke University's Tech and Check initiative.
- Truth Goggles are back! And ready for the next era of fact-checking
- Pop-up fact-checking app Truth Goggles aims to challenge readers’ biases
- Beyond the Truth-o-meter
- The Fact-Checkers Who Want to Save the World
