Odometer Freeze + AdBlue simulator
(just joking)
I've seen a programmable multi sound horn on youtube built around a Pi. tempting

Ask your kids
No point in that, (a) I won’t get an answer, (b) I doesn’t speak da language of de youff.Ask your kids
I love them, have several knocking about the house, one for a media box, another for controlling LED strings and various for experimental. In the van I initially used one for my interior movement sensor alarm, before switching it to an Arduino to reduce size, before ditching it altogether and getting a Clifford as I didn't want to have THAT conversation with my insurers if it was nicked
Other uses in the van, maybe media player again, light controller, software radio? IIRC @Phil_G was looking at using one to interpret and display info from a Victron solar controller. But it may have been an Arduino, and it may not have been him, my memory is getting worse every day
Be interested in any uses you can come up with, I've got unused ones that are basically a solution waiting for a problem.

I'm still none the wiser.
This will tell you more than you will ever want to knowI'm still none the wiser.
Raspberry Pi — Teach, Learn, and Make with Raspberry Pi
That made my brain hurt
I think i'll leave it to the kids.I'll stick with Raspberry Ice Cream and Apple pie.

Happy days,saves me reading the link
I've been trying to make an OBDII reader for the van but I got hung up over the screen to run it on and the powerup/power down. The small screens take up all the connector so you're limited with connectivity. The small screens are also a pain in the arse to run as they're cheap in all senses of the word.
I have just dismantled a laptop and trying the screen from that but it needs another mains feed for the controller so that may end up as a kitchen TV/recipie server.
Perhaps a pi zero W might be better on power and could voice control lights with the Google software?

I made an Alexa device with a Pi, but combining it with controlling lights might be tricky as Alexa wanted total control. For an OBD display you're probably better off with an ELM27 and a cheap used Android tablet.
It's not the wine, it's our age. Save your eye strain. It's for the young ones.
( Lights touch paper and runs very, very fast as he is much, much bigger than me)
I know, that was my conclusion, but where's the fun in that!?
A power and water monitor would be good, mainly as I have a box of sensors that I want to use... As @xswind says, a solution looking for a problem....
my job is essentially working on raspberry pi (embedded software, firmware, automotive)
i love to play with them, but after 8+ hours maybe time to do something else in the evenings
