Lots of bread/food in the "good" quadrant; I think Randall is hungry. 162.158.154.73 05:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Soup always seems like a very good idea to me. I guess I like soup. --172.69.79.182 07:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I remember something like this in what if. SectorCorruptor 07:21, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

The title immediately reminded me on the Animaniacs shorts "Good Idea / Bad Idea" Elektrizikekswerk (talk) 07:33, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Does anybody know why solar cars and transitions lenses are actually a bad idea? 172.70.160.173 09:11, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Transitions lenses are misplaced. The only caveat is that if you like outdoor photography (landscapes, wildlife, etc.) you should get grey lenses rather than brown ones, because the brown ones make a blue sky seem overcast. Pjt33 (talk) 09:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
The precise opposite is true. Grey lenses make all things - blue sky included - look greyer, as is perhaps unsurprising. Brown tints involve a degree of orange, which means the overall impression is of a "warmer" colour pallette, rather than simply a duller one. There is a reason that "grey skies" and "overcast" mean exactly the same thing - an overcast sky is a grey tinted filter. Yorkshire Pudding (talk) 09:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
