Default Products of our collective intelligence...

Is this really the best we can achieve?

Sandals and socks poll

Hot dog debate

We all know that a hot dog is just the trailer-trash redneck neighbour of the sausage [from the butcher shop] sandwich served with proper mustard.

Surely our fine, collective intelligence is being abused by such inconsequential matters? And, is all this time-wasting banter a misappropriated use of this sub-forum?

I think so.


Can we, instead, combine our resourcefulness, skills and leadership qualities to provide something that will provide positive change in this world we share?

Please post your ideas here..

A paste made from olive oil and baking soda will clean just about anything off your hands, including mustard.

There, I just made the world a better place.

I think putting mustard and ketchup on a hot dog is the gustatory equivalent of wearing socks and sandals.

Maybe a debate on string theory or alternatively a discussion on the price of cheese

Shredded "cheese" is also a popular hot dog topping I believe. At least I have seen folks at Sam's Club slathering this bright orangy stuff on at the hot dog stand there. So maybe the price of shredded cheese might work. The other cheese topics have already been beaten to death.

I think you have hit the nail on the head, shredded cheese it's a topic that could run and run

On the topic of shredded cheese, I was gob smacked that it was the same price per kilo as a block of cheese. Thought it would cost more for all that effort to shred. I never cease to be amazed!!!!

Personally, as it were, I don't have a collective intelligence.

I just removed candle wax from our carpet with an iron and some kitchen roll.

Not my idea but the missus thinks it was, thus making me king.

I'm still in the mood to make something.

I suppose the notion I have is to establish a collaborative innovation network within an open-source framework.

Was the hell does that mean?!

It simply means that we pitch in together to come up with a product or service. Something that's good, of course, for the good of the planet, humans, animals, plants or just something plain "fluffy and nice".

I know there are some seriously clever and creative people on this forum, so there must be oodles of ideas. Don't be shy and share!
