What about fecalmatters.poo

The left of the @ is easy to change, and has no additional costs. The right side is a domain name, which would require the annual registration fee and paying for (or self-) hosting. Overall, it'd be a lot of work for one shitty joke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I'm also scared of what will happen long term. In the beginning it's a joke and we all post innocent poop jokes but you know before long, Poe's law is gonna kick into effect and it's just gonna be some real weirdos left on there.

Be careful, you're on air

I actually have all of the materials to build a motion activated smart light that interfaces with my home’s automation system for my dog’s food/water dish, but the ADHD goblin stole my fixation on the idea before I could design/print an enclosure for the circuit board and sensor.

Ironically, I got focused on building more storage because the parts were cluttering it up, but one delay led to another and then the weather changed. I don’t have an indoor space for woodworking projects, so now parts from both projects are just more clutter.

You could set up a system where the cat has to travel though a section on a scale and compare the pre/post weight. Add in a camera to capture photos of the cat on approach and departure (but not during the act) from those motion and weight sensor events.

Put it all together and you could have a bot that posts each trip with the duration and difference between entry and exit weight. There's probably something useful to learn from those patterns over time (particularly if it shows a sudden change) but mostly I just think it'd be funny if there was an automated system to congratulate a cat for a new personal all-time best or identify their #1 #2 of the week.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

For um science!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Actually a good idea for older cats as they can get kidney disease. One sign is they start peeing super often. Happened to mine.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Or you can just put the poop castle on a scale.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

You mean do it manually, like a caveman? No I want to involve servos, circuits and microprocessors in this!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Classic beginners mistake, you'll bias your data based on the amount of litter sticking to things!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Fair, I forgot about butt litter (I know we're joking anyway, but it's the same with solution 1 ;) ). Geez, thanks for the reminder, I was just about to eat. Mmmm, sprinkles.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Jokes or not, that is something I'd been thinking about with the weighing tunnel. Figured the couple extra steps should give most of the material time to drop off before reaching the scale. No idea how much of a difference it makes either way though.

This is why it's probably a good thing I don't have a cat. They'd get annoyed and trip me down a flight of stairs after about a week.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

You're amazing. I'm just watching Apollo-13 and as you're explaining your calculations it has an even more science-y vibe. It's hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why not just weigh the litterbox instead of the cat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That had crossed my mind but the problem of figuring out a cat's weight while it's moving through the tunnel section seems like it could be interesting. I'd imagined it as something that would post to a Lemmy community with discrete entry and exit events as they happen and cat photos that don't include a direct view into the shit palace. Internet being internet, people could cheer the cat on or take bets on duration / weight and find other ways to mystify future historians with the things that hold our attention.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

That cat is so done 😂

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This just seems like a normal post from the Home Assistant community

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

A friend let me join my HA bot to their discord and i just had it notify them every time my cat entered the litterbox. They loved it... For about 2 days lol.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don’t need a visual indication that my cat is popping.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure in the event your cat actually popped, you'd have a visual indicator already.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Lol, dang ol auto correct.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Oh you’re not working every second of your life? Guess you have too much time on your hands then

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

The cat doesn't look happy about this development...
