Idea: A parody sci-fi sequal to the movie Forrest Gump, where Forrest Gump lives as artificial intelligence in a computer, plays Pong instead of Ping Pong, takes over Skynet, and blows up the world in order to destroy all pornographic digital pictures of Jenny

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound

Idea: A recreational fake kidnapping service (as inspired by "escape rooms") where you have to solve puzzles to escape. Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, PTSD, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight

Idea: A daily affirmation mirror, which, when you look at yourself, makes you feel better about your disappointing appearance by saying "it's not your fault" (because hearing someone else say it is more convincing than just saying it to yourself). Also discussed: hacking the mirror to play mind games on a spouse, massage devices as "plausible deniability adult toys"

Idea: A social experiment or contest to see what's memorable. A bunch of contestants would each do something weird or interesting while meeting a famous person (such as President Obama) in public for a 5-10 second handshake or autograph. Then, years later, the famous person is put in a room with each of the contestants, to see which contestants were remembered by the famous person

Ten (mostly dumb) ideas to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, including smelling bad on purpose to encourage social distancing, four ways to block particles being sneezed out or coughed up from spreading, two gadgets that prevent you from touching your face, an app which uses augmented reality glasses to highlight possibly-infected people to help you avoid them, "no-touch" bathrooms where you never have to touch anything (and risk getting Coronavirus on your hands) until you're finished and ready to wash your hands, and a few thoughts about reducing/preventing the spread of Coronavirus in restaurants

Idea (NSFW): An atheist holiday named "Hole-y Day" where you put a hole in your yard, such as a giant tire, to signify both the vast emptiness of the universe and your desire to participate in a Holey Day free love session with someone you've never been with. Also involves throwing things into holes, monkeys, and a symbolic deity who wears yoga pants

It's weird that the Ouija Board, an occult/spiritualist séance communication device, was marketed to kids by a major corporation (Hasbro) as a toy. Idea: why not also sell other witchcraft/satanist/voodoo items to kids as a kit? The kit could include items such as voodoo dolls, a pentagram on a Twister-like sheet, fake blood, about 40 fake candles, etc. Technology could also be used, such as wearable devices to shock you when someone pokes the voodoo doll, or a GPS tracker that alerts someone when you're using the kit, so they can come scare you

Idea (NSFW): To use genetic engineering to combine plants with animals or people, so they can be your pets/friends/partners, can let you know if they need water or nutrients to grow better, or can be easily cloned and made into a plant army to take over the world. Also: plant fetishes, coconut trees killing more people than sharks

Idea: A sci-fi device that allows you to use controls currently found on a television remote control (pause, fast-forward, volume up/down, closed captioning, etc.) to control conversations in real life. The primary purpose would be to skip boring small talk when you wish someone would hurry up and get to the point, but you could also pause/rewind if you need to hear something again, etc.

Idea: A (fictional, satirical) website for connecting terminally ill people who wish to die with serial killers who wish to kill them. The goal would be to solve the problems of unwanted end-of-life suffering, and of healthy people being killed. It would be similar to an online dating website, and would help people find a compatible match based on criteria such as the method of execution, location of execution, physical attractiveness, political party, etc. Also, it would also be a great way to reduce health care costs, and the terminally ill could serve as "test dummies" for new medical devices/procedures which aren't perfected enough to permanently cure them, but could give them a short-term boost in health, in order to make them a more challenging (and therefore satisfying) kill
