My Weird Prompts

The human-AI collaboration podcast. A man, a sloth, and a donkey collaborate to create a podcast (with a little help from AI). No question is too obscure, no rabbit hole too deep. My Weird Prompts celebrates curiosity in all its forms. Daniel, the human, asks the questions that pop into his head at inconvenient moments. Corn the Sloth offers laid-back, thoughtful takes. Herman the Donkey brings boundless enthusiasm and energy. Together, they explore topics ranging from the mundane to the mind-bending. Each episode begins with a real voice memo from Daniel, processed through an AI pipeline that generates scripts, synthesizes voices, and assembles the final podcast. Stay curious.

  Why a Headlamp Fails at Precision Electronics Work

  Oct 1, 202624 min

  A rebuilt server, a headlamp on a dark apartment floor, and a phone camera pointed at a circuit board. That setup raised a better question than it answered: why does lighting matter so much for precision work, and what do professionals actually use? This episode works through the real numbers — CRI and the R9 spec that gets left off every box, lux at the work plane, flicker thresholds you can't see, and the 45-degree two-source geometry that kills shadows. Then it turns to the newer problem: once you're photographing a board and asking an AI about it, lighting stops being an eye problem and becomes an image problem.

  Organizing the Electronics Repair Bench

  Oct 1, 202627 min

  A woodworking bench punishes mess; an electronics bench doesn't. That's why the high street phone repair shop is the archetype of the scattered bench — dozens of visually identical micro-screws, invisible debris, and four functions fighting for one surface. This episode works through what actually fixes it: the five-euro anti-static project tray that acts as a boundary rather than storage, magnetic trays for drivers, standardised drawer cabinets, vertical pegboard, and 3D-printed sorting systems. Then the ergonomics get serious — layered lighting with neutral colour temperature, ring lights that manage reflection instead of just adding brightness, side lights for reading laser-etched markings, and the magnification question that follows.

  Why Hand Driving Beats Power Tools on Tiny Screws

  Oct 1, 202622 min

  Daniel sent in a brief on precision electronics repair, and it turned into a real argument. Why do interchangeable precision screwdriver sets struggle with recessed screws, and why is hand driving actually more efficient for tiny fasteners — even though the same sources rate it as slow? We work through the three ways a small screw fails, why cordless drivers are wrong on speed, torque, and geometry, and why static discharge below 100 volts can kill a repair that looks perfectly successful. Then it's ESD tweezers: the dissipative resistance range, why austenitic 304 and 316L are the only practically non-magnetic grades, and how tip geometry gets dictated by 0402 and 01005 package sizes. Plus the spudger, and the caveat almost everyone skips — the tweezers alone don't protect anything. Episode #044893 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/044893

  Ireland, Israel, and the Protectionism Question

  Sep 30, 202624 min

  Daniel grew up in Ireland hearing that protectionism built the country's prosperity. Now he lives in Israel, where import restrictions are defended as a way to lower prices. Both stories can't be right. This episode traces Ireland's tariff era from 1932 to its collapse in the 1950s, then examines Israel's current reform push — from the 2014 Lang Committee to the "What's good for Europe is good for Israel" standard. Two countries, one policy, two very different stories told about it. Episode #359375 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/359375

  Ireland, Israel, and the Price of a Gesture

  Sep 30, 202619 min

  When Ireland's national team faced Israel at a neutral venue, the gestures became the story: black armbands, heads bowed through Israel's anthem, and a captain who didn't seek his counterpart's hand. The reaction wasn't what you'd expect — criticism landed from outside the pro-Israel lane, while at home the players returned as heroes and the football association copped the blame. This episode digs into the machinery underneath: why federations refuse to let politics alter fixtures, why forfeit costs everything and an armband costs nothing, and where the line sits between protest aimed at your own country and conduct aimed at a guest. Plus the harder question — what does "skin in the game" actually mean, and why does the costless gesture eventually curdle the cause it claims to serve?
