Retail Worker F You Card

Idea: A card given to retail workers once a year, where if the retail worker gives the card to a rude customer, they can insult, yell at, curse at, and/or humiliate the customer for 30 seconds without consequence (i.e. without getting fired). Also: tracking rude customers who receive "F You Cards" in a government database (i.e. the Chinese "social credit score" but made fun); a rude customer repeatedly receiving "F You Cards" who lashes out against society and becomes the Joker; staging extremely elaborate "F You Card" incidents to try to go viral on the Internet; giving your "F You Card" to the same rude customer 15 years in a row

Deathbed Betting Pools

Idea: To make bets with your friends/family on when a loved one on their deathbed will die (as a distraction from the grief and awkwardness of waiting around for long periods of time in a hospital). Also: betting over the will or the leftover drugs; inappropriately celebrating if you won the bet; trying not to die yet to prevent someone from winning the death bet; side bets on whether alcoholism damaged their liver to the point that it's ineligible for organ donation

Temporarily Waterproof Toilet Paper

Idea: Toilet paper which is temporarily waterproof on one side, so you don't have to wad up or fold the toilet paper to keep from getting gross butt water on your hands while wiping, and it eventually dissolves after you flush it down the toilet

Poo-pourri Air Horn Prank

Idea: A prank where a very loud air horn is disguised as "poo pouri" toilet spray. If someone has to go to the bathroom really badly, and they try to spray the "toilet spray" before pulling down their pants, the shock of the unexpected air horn might cause them to accidentally "let one loose" in their pants next to the toilet. It could also sound like a fart and/or release a bad smell, letting other people know that you're pooping, which is a fact that you were trying to hide by using the "toilet spray". Also: using sound vibrations from the air horn to dislodge kidney stones; keeping a urine sample in the fridge at work

Scare-eolas

Idea: Holograms of horror movie villains that women can project out of their nipples to scare off creepy guys who stare at their breasts. Also: using the holograms to project clothes to allow you to be nude in public; holograms for men (cree-penis, i.e. "creepiness"); questioning whether "Naked Mile" nude runs still occur at colleges; accidentally training babies to suckle on serial killers' faces

CRISPR DNA Editing App

Sci-Fi Idea (NSFW): A portable CRISPR DNA-editing device which connects to a cell phone and allows you to design changes to your body using an app, such as growing a tail or becoming taller. Also: you'd be trusting a company like Apple to edit your genes (think about all of the update errors that might happen to your body); using the device to make yourself look exactly like another person; questioning whether you want to change your body so badly that you'd be willing to endure intense pain or eat the body part being improved or replaced

Shake and Shock Alarm Clock

Idea (NSFW): An alarm to shake your bed or shock you to wake you up. It could also defibrillate you, scare you during horror movies, and pleasure you. But don't use it if you're pregnant (wink wink). Also: it would hurt coffee sales; gradually shaking you more intensely until you wake up; hacking it to strengthen the shock

Government Prostitution Service

Idea: A government service to pay for prostitutes for young men to improve their mental health and reduce the amount of sexual assault. Also: On the downside, men might lose ambition and just "live off the government tit"; this service might be politically viable in Alaska because the population is like 70% male

Long Johns & Donut Hos

Idea: A strip club for couples which has both male strippers and female strippers. They could be in different rooms, in the same room but on different stages, or together on the same stage. Also, instead of having gross strip club food, it'd contain a bakery with adult-themed cakes. Also: donut glaze/sprinkles instead of glitter; stripper songs

Social Toy Drones

Idea (NSFW, dark humor): Flying a toy drone with a videocamera on it is like playing a videogame where nothing fun happens. A videodrone would be much funner if it had a speaker and a screen to show your face, that way you could do social things with real people and other videodrones. Examples include games like hide-and-seek, guided sky tours, drone charging "forts", kids using the drones to play together outside when their parents make them stay inside, playing with animals using apps that make animal noises, etc. Also: controlling a drone with your mind so that you feel like an actual bird

Island For Criminals

Idea (NSFW, dark humor): An island to send criminals for the rest of their life where they'll be left alone to fend for themselves. Also: cannibalism would be common because modern criminals don't know how to fish; weapons companies could airdrop weapons onto the island and sponsor livestream videos of criminals using the weapons; volunteers could enter the island to commit revenge on a criminal but then would not be allowed to leave

Consent Detector

Idea (NSFW, dark humor): A sci-fi device implanted in women which detects the intense fear and emotions of sexual assault and automatically alerts the authorities. Or a sci-fi device implanted in men which incapacitates them if they attempts sexual assault, thus making sexual assault impossible. Also: questioning whether it would be falsely triggered by nightmares or scary movies; questioning whether whistles stop crime; a female perspective

Lego Comics

Idea: To make comic books out of photos of miniature setups/scenes created using Legos, such as a Predator-style military jungle shootout. Also: Lego comics which are customized for a specific person, a customized adult film where a woman burns a man's stamp collection, a self-building miniature modular skyscraper city prototype built with Lego robotics

Poorly Performing Gigolo

Idea (NSFW): A poorly performing gigolo that other men can hire for their girlfriends to make them appear better in bed by comparison. Also: questioning how you'd know the gigolo is actually bad in bed, not wanting another man who has issues with finishing prematurely to accidentally impregnate your girlfriend, hiring out a gigolo to do the post coital cuddling

Mind-Sharing Clones

Idea (NSFW): Sci-fi clones which share both your memories and your current thoughts and feelings. Also: dividing work between clones; making sure at least one clone is doing something pleasurable at all times; accumulating all of the fear and sadness of all of your clones and developing PTSD; if you share thoughts with your clone, what happens if your clone goes to hell?

Idea (NSFW): A flashlight-shaped adult toy which generates electricity while its being used. Also: giving it to your dad to charge it up; harnessing shame for electricity; giving people drugs to prevent climax so they generate more electricity; a vibrating bicycle seat for women

Idea (NSFW): An absurdist futuristic sci-fi movie where a genetically modified half-human half-cat villain tries to destroy all dogs, and a hero has to genetically modify himself to be half-human half-dog in order to breed with the last living dog. Also: the possible cruelty of shooting movies using animals

InstaCrowd

Idea: To fill empty seats at a standup comedy show with inflatable audience members. Also: comedians would perform lewd acts on the inflatable audience; disguising yourself as an inflatable audience member and waiting for the comic to perform lewd acts on you; questioning whether to give the inflatable audience a "heckle mode"; an inflatable audience could be a safety feature if you're in a flood zone or on a cruise ship

Deadly Escape Room

Idea: Escape rooms with real danger, like the movie Saw, which are possibly televised. Also: a more intense corporate team-building exercise or test of character for engaged couples, white-collar criminals tend to be smarter than regular criminals and thus would be funner to watch in a Saw-like escape room, wondering why there aren't any recreational drugs that are taken using acupuncture needles

Criminal Execution Death Games

Idea: To create a TV show where the worst repeat-offender unrehabilitatable criminals (murderers, pedophiles, etc.) either compete for their survival, or are left alone to fend for themselves and try to survive. Also: it might accidentally encourage lesser criminals to commit worse crimes to be on TV, movies with a similar premise (Hunger Games, Death Race, The Running Man, etc.), fencing off states to be massive prison colonies like the George Carlin comedy bit, selling the "prisoner inventions" that the prison colonists invent while trying to survive
