    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.

    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".

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

                    @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.

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