If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.

My brain: ...ALL I HEAR ARE SCREAMS EVERY TIME I DARE TO CLOSE MY EYES I NO LONGER DREAM ONLY NIGHTMARES OF THOSE WHO'VE DIED
So we all collectively agree that Stan is smart. I mean, to be able to fix the portal he had to be. However, I think everyone skips over another very obvious example of Stan's genius: the vending machine
The vending machine definitely wasn't something Ford had around. Stan bought it for the gift shop as a way to hide the entrance to the basement while also making a little money from it.
How many weeks, months, or years did Stan just have a normal ass vending machine over the doorway that he had to physically move every night to get down there? How many times did someone shake the thing trying to get their snack out and almost see the doorway before Stan realized just covering it wasn't enough?
So he rewired the damn thing to have a secret code and some kind of, idk air lock release? And a way for it to open on its own? Without any journals, manuals, and (knowing Stan) probably without the internet too.
All while making sure it still worked as a fully functioning vending machine.
Stan is so smart you guys.
Thinking out loud
I hate that I now have to squint at my phone 2 inches from my face as I play the game "is this pretty dress on Pinterest real or AI?" and I somehow always lose
Ok one really goofy pet peeve for fics I see but isnโt addressed ever that could be utilized for a fic is a Bat taking a random USB from someone that told them to look through it and just straight up plugging it into the batcomputer.
If you work with sensitive information at ALL your job will drill into your mind to never plug in anything ever that isnโt company approved into a computer because thatโs one of the easiest ways for your companyโs systems to get hacked.
So consider: Danny gives one of the Bats a USB on GIW info, a ghost encyclopedia, Fenton blueprints, you name it. They plug it directly into the batcomputer. Normally it has some safetyโs in place to prevent hacking from foreign software but they never had any way to defend their tech against ghost software.
With the combined minds of Technus and Tucker; they successfully made an undetectable backdoor into the Batcomputer.
