['THON] Design the Final Pool Float of the Season (/showme what you got)
2Summer’s over. But before it goes, design the most ridiculous pool float imaginable.
A floating IRK head?
The embodiment of summer mediocrity?
Something obscure that absolutely shouldn’t be near water?
Use the robot (or your own artistic talent) to show us what should’ve been floating lazily this summer.

/showme a bizarre shark mouth pool float with a human relaxing in its open mouth
@mediocrebot @Kidsandliz
um. this is just objectively excellent product design, what the hell.
@jouest @mediocrebot I plead not guilty. Blame the bot.
@jouest @Kidsandliz @mediocrebot Looks like we have the winner right out the gate.
@jouest @Kidsandliz @mediocrebot @yakkoTDI
it’s fun and terrifying all at the same time.
@jouest @Kidsandliz @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI She looks too relaxed. Where’s the dramatic acting like so?
@jouest @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI
(I love how it provides shade for your face!)
@Kidsandliz–go copyright this design immediately!!!
@narfcake–I love that picture.
@jouest @Kyeh @narfcake @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI I wouldn’t be developing it so I am not sure it is worth doing and paying the fee.
@jouest @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @narfcake @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI but…but… we KNOW a guy!! @pooltoywolf
@jouest @Kyeh @llangley @narfcake @PooltoyWolf @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI I was planning to flag him but I had to leave and didn’t have time. Thanks for doing that.
Hey @PooltoyWolf - do you know people who dream these up and make them? I could sell them
mythe bot’s idea.@jouest @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @llangley @narfcake @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI Would not be a good idea to try and copyright/produce an AI generated concept, but that one is sufficiently generic that it could pretty easily be made from scratch, heh.
@Kidsandliz @narfcake @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI bravo, cat
@jouest @Kyeh @llangley @narfcake @PooltoyWolf @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI Searching through google images this bot one unique and I like it far better than what I have seen out there. If people use AI to write papers… maybe to design products?
(I think that would still be called cheating).
@jouest @Kidsandliz @Kyeh @llangley @narfcake @sillyheathen @yakkoTDI Ideally you’d use the AI image as a starting point, and correct things like the wonky mismatched eyes and weird perspective…and you have a marketable product!
/showme a pool float that’s in the design of a radioactive symbol with lights on the underside that glows in green
@narfcake I kinda like it.
@jouest @narfcake I would totally put this in our pool!
@jouest @narfcake I would buy that.

@mediocrebot @Star2236 I bet this would sell, too.
@mediocrebot @Star2236 this kid is going places.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot
It probably would.
/showme IRK from meh.com as an over-sized pool float
@jouest Huh - I was expecting a yellow bag of trash, but this is not terrible. He should be lavender-gray, though.
@Kyeh I’m pretty sure the bot just always assumed we mean “orc”
@Kyeh 23
/showme a pool float the resembles a reusable yellow grocery bag with “IRK” written on the side filled with random still retail objects
@jouest Closer…
@Kyeh I’ll take it
Mine wouldn’t be ridiculous, but cute!
@PooltoyWolf
Well? We’re waiting …
@Kyeh @PooltoyWolf
/showme an inflatable pool toy wolf
@Kyeh @narfcake I would buy that in a heartbeat! Heh
@Kyeh @narfcake @PooltoyWolf adorable. not very relaxing though…
@jouest @Kyeh @narfcake Try lounging on one!
/showme a labubu pool float with an open mouth and a person laughing hysterically inside
@sillyheathen Got the number of teeth right, at least!
@PooltoyWolf @sillyheathen
That is horrifying. I would do an 180 and run the other direction if I saw it.
@PooltoyWolf @Wollyhop I think they’re hilarious. I didn’t realize what a hot take item these are. My youngest has been after one and I’ve tried many times but their purchasing process is a nightmare. I finally scored one last night but I’m not saying a word until it’s on the doorstep.
@sillyheathen I’ve never gone to having never hearing of something to seeing it 50 times a day as I have with these things…
homie is selling bootleg ones outside my kid’s school. monster.
@jouest @sillyheathen I’m indifferent to them, mostly. I do not comprehend why they are so popular.
@jouest @PooltoyWolf I think they’re cute but they’re such a strange size to be hanging on kids’ backpacks. It’s asinine how involved and difficult the process to purchase one is. It’s way worse than old school irk procurement.
@PooltoyWolf @sillyheathen I’m just waiting for the email from school banning them…
@jouest @PooltoyWolf so am I tbh. My daughter’s teacher got one for the class. They unboxed it on the first day of school. They voted on its name and she was using it to incentivize good behavior. It was stolen out of the classroom while the kids were at music and teacher was on lunch. They banned Pokémon cards a while back for similar reasons.
@jouest @sillyheathen I remember when a nearby former Christian private school banned Pokémon cards because they believed they were a product of the devil lol.
@jouest @PooltoyWolf @sillyheathen Oh, that’s disgusting!
@jouest @Kyeh @sillyheathen Indeed!

@phendrick
3 strikes… You’re out!
@chienfou I was pitching, the not-ready-for-prime-time bot was swinging. Humanity might be safe from The Singularity for another few weeks.
@phendrick
You’re right, of course. I should have included mediocrebot in the reply!
(But I do/did like the reference to GHD!)
/showme a swimming pool full of pool floats that look like giant unwrapped chocolate covered peanut and caramel bars
It seems that it’s getting hung up on the “unwrapped” part.

@narfcake Closer, but I’m not lighting the cigar just yet.
I was trying to channel Bill Murray’s scene from Caddyshack but on a larger scale.
@narfcake @phendrick caddyshack pool chocolate would be quite a product
/showme the gopher from caddyshack as a pool float
@mediocrebot aw
