Have you tried using markov chain monte carlo to perform a weighted random walk of solution space?
Bad idea of the day: Replace each word with another with maximum delta in word vector space but minimum edit distance, or vice versa. Tune weights until result is interesting.
Art project if you have too much money: Anonymously buy some 95% to 100% of your city’s ad space for a month and make it display only art and nature pictures; then hope for protests once the ads are back

A temple that does the same thing with sound that cathedrals do with light: Different notes wherever you go, entire spaces audible if you’re in the right place, a whirligig in the form of a boiling rose sounding like wind in the leaves of a brass tree
While liminal space is the space between, subliminal space is when you take the wrong door in liminal space and end up entirely behind the curtain, a shadow unnoticed by the audience, lost in the guts of the machine

Simplicity
That is a screenshot of my macOS desktop. It could be simpler, but as it is it does what I need, and want. When I need to use an app, I simply hit command (⌘) space and start typing the app name to launch it. That is, I use Spotlight.
Wouldn’t it be great that iOS could be customized like that too? Preferably it would be a setting, that would allow to turn off the visibility of all, or any app on the phone. Then, to open an app, one would use the [Spotlight]( … ⌘ Read more

Rather than sending advertisements into outer space, it would be really nice if we made it so that Facebook and Twitter would run reasonably on six month old mid-market desktop computers. These JS timeouts are annoying.
A maze in both time and space: Get lost in it and not even time travel will help you, it’ll be as if you had always been in there

putting maximally many layers between you and the world: clothes, space suit, car, garage, concrete sarcophagus, arcology, while in the other direction it’s nested dreams
inky swirls of black unfire dance over the crystal’s insides, feeding on the space around it, and slowly it grows

There’s an optimal speed in space battles and it’s not quite c - time dilation needs to be low enough that you can still outthink the enemy

Space concerns force a choice on citizens: Kids or immortality, never both. Quite without intervention, society splits into humans and elves

fractal jellyfish coast through parameter space, assuming forms that bulge outwards, then becoming tangles of stalks
true loneliness is achieved when even your own thoughts excuse themselves and walk off into the night, leaving only empty space and scraps
the ship’s bonsai trails behind on a chain, a space suit helmet on its pot protecting it against the vacuum
setting: the alien is an infectious space fungus that can grow human-shaped fruiting bodies, but we shape it as much as it shapes us
The void mold’s been spreading. The ceiling is becoming transparent, closets open into nothingness, cups leak precious coffee into space

They’re slow but very agile (to fit into the little space the city offers them), and their insides are soft and excrete digestion enzymes.
Travelling the intergalactic void, we pass fields of void roses. Gaps in space folded around vacuum, betrayed only by a few confused photons
if you peel off the screen in the right way, you can reach into the space behind it (but those pixels are really sharp-edged so take care)
Glowing with no color at all, they look like hairline fractures in reality, extend upwards as if to extract nutrient from space itself
The psychonauts warned us, but too late. When the aliens did invade, they came from inner space, occupied our brains, burst from our eyes
Horror vacui: Fear of empty space↵Furor vacui: The all-devourer to be afraid of↵Error vacui: That one time the void birthed a universe
against this backdrop, its flowers look like neon mazes suspended in space, the sort of surface you’d expect Tron to play on
