A couple of years ago I made a Chrome Extension that removes everyone's eyes: <a href="https://vimeo.com/90351144" rel="nofollow">https://vimeo.com/90351144</a><p>🇬🇧 people: let's do a Stupid Hackathon in London. I can probably get the joinef.com offices but the FB folks have candy.
We just had one in Tallinn, Estonia, and the outcomes are here

And we are actually going ahead with it :)
There's been three "TerribleHack" hackathons similar to this at the University of Waterloo and they've been my favourite hackathons. Making stupid shit is so much fun.

I love knocking out stupid things no one would ever need:<p><a href="http://StanderOrSitter.com" rel="nofollow">http://StanderOrSitter.com</a> -- do you stand or sit when you wipe?<p><a href="http://SwapAVote.com" rel="nofollow">http://SwapAVote.com</a> -- why vote when you can simply match with an opposing supporter?<p>Look forward to the next hackathon in NYC.
Yes! This is the hackaton I've been waiting for. Practical in its purpose, low key, and (hopefully) fun.<p>Wish I wasn't on the opposite side of the country ... Also wish I didn't miss the one that was on my side of the country
What other types of hackathons are out there?
I remember reading about TSSNON & Terrible Ideas Hackathon back in the day.<p>Now that I see it in the spotlight. I wonder what other kinds of niche hackathons do you guys know about?
A FPS bot that gimmicks a 14 year old gamer. It either camps or goes full on spray and pray, is constantly flooding chat with insults, accusing people of cheating and calling them fags, and team kills "4 the lulz!!!"
There's a Toronto version as well on May 28: <a href="http://stupidhacktoronto.com" rel="nofollow">http://stupidhacktoronto.com</a>
Last year I made a stupid shit social website that no one used or cared about. Wish I had used this or a similar context. Could have been a softer fall.
hmmm, I've been thinking about making a website to help recruit disenfranchised millennials into indentured servitude and I'll be free and in the area (I'm about to move to the bay area). Might be fun, but i'm not sure I should blur the line between satire and terrifying reality so much.
