Idea: Anti-procrastination shock collar

[nicefish]

Make a shock collar where if you set it into "I should be working mode", it shocks you for:

• Every page your web browser loads
• Every message you send on IRC
• Whenever you open an IRC window that's not the status window, and once every 30 seconds until you go back to the status window

I like this idea, but what if I do web development and need to open pages in my browser in order to get work done?

There can be a whitelist of non-shockable URL regex's.

Sounds good. Have you ever heard of Pavlok? It's a bracelet that shocks you and hooks up to an app https://pavlok.com/

[here cums the fuck truck]

im just thinking nice fish was looking for a way to integrate pain into her workflow

i'll sell you mine nicefish.  The thing is you end up just hating the device and taking it off.

[here cums the fuck truck]

kayimbo where and when did you get one? how long did you use it before you got tired of it?

[kayimbo]

i bought a used one from my friend who also didn't like it anymore.  I stopped liking it probably the second time it shocked me.  It is still a good emergency alarm clock though for when you absolutely must wake up

[kayimbo]

nicefish you should come on mumble and discuss anti procrastination with me.  The cure to laziness is the only tech problem i am interested in.

[rachel]

Alternate idea: Accept laziness as a normal part of the human condition?

People should strive for laziness? That is the purpose of automation?

[kayimbo]

think of the economic loss though
think of Li Ziqi planting cotton to knit her grandmother a warm sweater for winter.

[rachel]

The economy can suck my dick life is meaningless if we can't have fun

[kayimbo]

you have to wake up a dawn to make a blanket for your grandmother though

I could see this idea either really helping with my adhd ot really distracting.

I'd be down to just get a shock colar and give the remote to my friends.
