    A random question: My place was built with all the plumbing for a central-vac system that I have no intention of using ever. What alternative uses might I have, for this idle series of tubes? Right answers, speculative answers and hilariously wrong answers equally welcome.

    Snake rescue in cold weather?
    Drop bouncy balls through and see which comes out first?
    Pneumatic tennis ball delivery?

              @Jetengineweasel I love it when there's clearly a reference in play that I don't understand. Weirdly specific, but... what could it mean?

                  @mhoye install acoustic horns on the tube ends and have yourself an intercom system the fam can talk/shout into instead of shouting across the house.

                    C'mon, y'all - "run cat6", what are you doing here in the fedi with an answer like that. The good answers so far include "rapid hamster delivery pneumatics" and "baked beans on tap".

                      /* never smoked a cigarette or a joint */
                      - reverse it from air intake to air push,
                      - add an automated THC vape / e-bong / incense burner as a source,

                            @gemelen "never smoked a cigarette or a joint", sir.

                            _Sir._

                            This is absolutely the sort of plan somebody who had definitely smoked a joint would come up with.
