A team of particle physicists wanted “to unveil the deepest secrets of the Universe—and of Swedish cuisine.” So, naturally, they built a Swedish meatball collider.

A one-day event where participants conceptualize and create projects that have no value whatsoever.
Best projects from last year:
robotpornaddict - a machine learning system that watches and attempts to interpret pornography.
Infinite Folders - creates infinite folders on your computer.
Hypochondriapp - diagnoses you with the worst possible disease for whatever symptoms you may be experiencing.
Soylent For Women - is a product idea to target new market share. Pink it, shrink it, and double the price.

Unfriend the Poors by JB Rubinovitz - a free service that helps you ferret out and then unfriend your poor friends on Facebook.

Picnic, a random takeaway order to a random location, by Max Goodman
This browser-bot/ chrome extension automatically finds on EAT24.com a random restaurant to order from, selects items from the menu and has them delivered to a random location within your range. The bot then orders you an Uber to take you to that location to receive your delivery. Max Goodman ended up having Dolmas, a Lebanese omelette and coconut water at a gas (petrol) station. You can watch the video and follow the live-tweets. The project was made at the The stupid shit no one needs and terrible ideas hackathon.
Was scrolling thru the Stupid Hackathon* and found this vid.
“Emojis replacing every 8th pixel in the original video. Pixels and emojis compared via distance between pixel color and average emoji color. Color distance calculated in LAB space. ffmpeg used to split into frames and re-compile frames. Code may be available soon.”
*Full name is Stupid Shit No One Needs and Terrible Ideas Hackathon 2.0
Punkass Kids!! Get Off My Browser This weekend I worked with Patrick at the Stupid Hackathon on a Chrome extension that wreaks mayhem in the browser once it's installed. Content flees from your hover and the page resizes every so often. We're hoping people use it on: + parents + grandparents + classmates before thesis presentations + friends before “important investor meetings” + public computers + frenemies + shitty clients who don’t pay on time Download it in the Chrome extension store.
