helens78 is tempted to start programming right now

[synecdochic]

OH GOD, you know what I want? I want a "Someone is wrong on the Internet" addon for my browser, where I click it, and for a certain length of time, if I want to respond to a question, I have to answer a really obscure question that I can only get through Wikipedia. After several minutes (or hours) of frantic clicking in Wikipedia, I will probably have calmed down enough to recognize that I should just close browser window and go away!

Context is locked, QWP.

That is fucking genius. It's like google goggles for your INTERNET!RAGE.

One could probably also make TVTropes version!

[zeborah]

A version where you have to go to TVTropes and by the time you emerge you've forgotten whatever the original flamewar was about and also have to explain to your teacher/manager why you've missed several days of school/work?

Or a version where, if you open a TVTropes page the page blanks until you've written an essay on "Why, based on a surfeit of past experience, I should absolutely not visit TVTropes at this time"?

Either! BOTH!

[illariy]

Haha, that is really good! *giggle*

I've taken to tidying up my wardrobe/desk/whatever instead, which lacks the geekiness factor but adds the bonus of getting me away from the screen. ;-)

I'd like that on all browsers. And possibly add the capacity to monitor the words typed into the browsers, for those who don't click it themselves. I can see it now, a little warning box that would pop up when you hit send/post:

Your message text has been flagged as 'enraged'. The text will not be posted until you both review and confirm the text, and either spend 2 hours off the computer or correctly answer the following question: How much salt is consumed yearly, on average, by people living on the continent of South America?

YES. DO WANT. Gods, this would be so useful.
