Taunting Heavy Bag

Gets you motivated by insulting you for any punches below a certain force.
 
(0)
 

A speaker and voice generator is triggered by sensors around the bag. Hard punches would get "Ooof!" sounds but punches below a certain level would trigger taunts. "Aww how cute, he's patting me on the tummy!" "Wait, did a butterfly just fly by?" or just nasty like "Wow, you're a total pussy." (or with taunting high squeaky voice) "Oh look, he wants to be a boxer when he grows up!"

Get you motivated like in a real fight.

       The delete button doesn't work   

       //Internal error
bad arguments to library call//
  

       But I can edit it as much as I like

       On annotations or on the idea itself?   

       Now there's an idea. Have an anonymous delete button just to see how many if any ideas would survive. To keep one troll from erasing the entire HB maybe just have one "nuke" button per halfbaker per month.   

       For instance I'd probably use my "nuke" button for that exact idea.

       On that anno above specifically.   

       See if you can delete it. Perhaps it is the Invincible Anno of Indestructibility

       Okay, let me try, stand by...
doctorremulac3, Jan 27 2026
  

       //Internal error bad arguments to library call// on my end too.   

       Tis there for eternity. All hail the Invincible Anno of Indestructibility.   

       Knowing this is possible I will never mindlessly type something like "My butt itches." or "Man, I got so drunk last night I think I accidently ate a squirrel thinking it was just a running sausage."

       Well that's good. Could change the squirrel post to "Had a jolly good time last night. Definitely didn't accidently eat a squirrel."

       Re seeing how many ideas survive, things were bad enough during the [travbm] incident.   

       Your definition of a real fight is different than mine I guess.

       Which is fine. I grew up in the most violent ghetto on Earth, at one point it became known as "The Murder Capital Of The World". Didn't make the rules, just had to follow them. Or else. If somebody insulted you to your face that was just a test before the physical attack commenced. If you turned the other cheek they'd punch that one too.   

       Pretty soon you run out of cheeks.   

       I remember when I moved to the rich part of town being shocked how much abuse young rich people were willing to take. One kid was having his lunch money taken away by bullies every day and his dad just gave him extra money and told him to avoid conflict. I went and told them that the next time they did that I'd beat the shit out of them. They left him alone after that.   

       What's the [travbm] incident?
