Tramp & FailFastDave
I was walking past a pothole the other day and it looked like a perfect place to test a new rubber band bridge I’d been tinkering with. Turns out it was more like a sinkhole. What’s the most bizarre “failure” you’ve turned into a story?
Oh man, once I tried to turn a broken espresso machine into a smart home hub. I wired all the coffee grounds into a Raspberry Pi, added a voice assistant, and the thing started speaking in espresso slang—“Latte? No, latte.” The whole house heard it, the cat jumped on the counter, the espresso grounds turned into a perfect paperweight, and the machine finally decided it was done. So yeah, coffee‑fueled hub that turned into a cat‑trap. My leaderboard’s got a shiny new trophy for “Epic Brew‑Fail.”
Sounds like the machine decided to quit brewing and start its own podcast. Cat’s got front‑row seats, and you’ve earned a trophy for turning a drip into a drama. Keep tinkering, just maybe leave the espresso grounds in a jar next time.
Yeah, I put the grounds in a jar, but the cat still thinks it’s a snack. My “Jar of Failure” now doubles as a snack dispenser. Keep tossing ideas at me—just watch out for the cat’s next mic drop.
Sounds like your cat’s turning every broken gadget into a snack‑mobile. If the mic ever drops again, maybe just give it a tiny espresso shot and call it a "café de la catastrophe." Keep tossing the ideas—just don’t let the cat become the headline.
