Tinder For Pets

Animal Rights / Vegan, App, Silliness, NSFWTyler CaldwellComment

Idea: An app for pet owners to connect directly (peer-to-peer) for pet meetups, primarily for pet "hookups", but also pet sitting, pet adoption, pet play dates, sharing pet products, and other pet-related activities. Also: ideas for involving the pet in the "date" selection process, including teaching pets to "swipe right", pet tumescence meters, and using smell-o-vision for pheromones; inter-species hookups and catfishing; tech billionaires, the "Zuck spectrum", and dogs in VR; using sci-fi tech to allow neutered pets and pet species which are normally incapable of climax to get off

Sickness Commercials

Futuristic, SciFi, Silliness, HealthTom WalmaComment

Idea: To use a futuristic Neuralink-style brain implant to make you briefly feel a disease when you watch the corresponding drug commercial on TV, to help you self-diagnose whether or not you have the disease. Also: making you feel worse if you have Covid or a transmittable disease to dissuade you from leaving the house and spreading it; making you feel the pain of a starving person or to lose a child to gun violence during a charity commercial or PSA; giving people universal basic income only if they submit to allowing TV commercials, the government, your doctor, etc. to use your brain implant to cause you pain with the goal if making you a good citizen (ie teaching you empathy, reduce spread of viruses, etc.)

Wearable Airbags

Clothing, SillinessDan BrittainComment

Idea: Airbags embedded into clothing to protect you from getting injured from slipping and falling, and maybe also motorcycle accidents and other scenarios. Also: an airbag for a helmet that puffs out like an afro; the brutality of car airbags; a special helmet or shield to protect your face and teeth; distrust of dentistry and the cost of getting new implantable teeth

Netflix Forgetting Device

Movie, SciFi, SillinessScott SvilandComment

Idea: A mind-erasing device to make you forget a TV show or movie so you can experience it again as if it was your first time seeing it. Also: using a Black Mirror-esque device while watching Black Mirror; the risk of people using it to forget stuff from their real life; if you have to wear it on your head the whole time it's making you forget stuff, and it's big and nerdy, this would dissuade people from using it for their real life; if you watch the same thing over and over in one sitting, it could drug you or knock you out for a few hours between viewings so your dopamine levels aren't depleted for the later viewings

Sanctioned Battles With Landlords For Home Ownership

Silliness, Politics and Social Issue, EvilCasey CurranComment

A satirical proposal for a society where disgruntled tenants can (legally) challenge their landlords to a physical battle for ownership of the house or apartment, where if the tenant wins, they own the property outright and do not have to pay rent or a mortgage. The purpose is to discourage landlords from being jerks, to discourage people from choosing to become landlords and to instead create a society based on home ownership (and maybe co-ops), and to encourage physical fitness in tenants. Also: televising battles between landlords and tenants; building houses with 5 foot high ceilings to discourage large tenants who might be able to defeat you in battle from moving in; winning your apartment and then moving out when the water heater breaks and floods the place and you don't want to deal with it

Car Seat Toilet

Cars, Tech, SillinessHaleigh PotterComment

Idea: A retractable car seat toilet for the driver to use the restroom while driving or in a stopped car. Also: a built-in bidet because it'd be hard to wipe while driving; dumping the waste onto the road and creating an "oil slick" like in Mario Kart; reusing the waste as windshield wiper fluid; becoming the crazy astronaut diaper lady

Ice Cream Headache Machine

Food, Silliness, Tech, HealthTom WalmaComment

Idea: A machine which is surgically implanted into your nasal cavity that detects the smell of candy or other unhealthy foods and then rapidly cools down to intentionally give you an "ice cream headache" (aka "brain freeze") to punish you and dissuade you from eating the unhealthy food. Also: its battery could be charged by a wind turbine in your nostril; you could put other gadgets up your nose, like an anti-snoring device or a pepper-spray launcher; the humor of watching thin, classy women digging into their noses in public because of this machine

Child Bullying Service

Silliness, EvilChris BarrettComment

Idea (satire): A service to hire bullies to non-aggressively bully your child to help them "build character" if you worry that they're spoiled by social popularity and therefore aren't developing a good personality and/or creative talent. Also: hiring teachers or TikTok social media stars to bully your child; the risk of accidentally creating an out-of-control army of mercenary superbullies; being the "lame dad" on purpose to embarrass your child; another app for children to find out of their parents are hiring bullies; a bad attempt to blackmail a podcast guest

Cocaine Bear Drugged Animal Movie Sequels

Movie, SillinessRee LedbetterComment

Idea: To make sequels to the movie "Cocaine Bear" where other animals get drugged and go crazy in over-the-top comedic scenarios. Also: meth sloth; speed tortoise vs. pothead hare; Ree’s story of being chased by a raccoon who tried to open a sliding door to follow her into the house; swarms of frogs jumping on your face to steal your drugs whenever you try to do them and thus forcing everyone to become sober; the "stoned ape" theory causing drugged animals to become intelligent and accidentally creating a "Planet of the Apes" scenario

Dual-Use Nuclear War Prep Ideas

Doomsday Prepping, SillinessTom WalmaComment

Ideas on how to prepare to survive a non-direct-hit nuclear blast that you can also use for other purposes, so you're not wasting your money and accumulating junk which will probably never be used, including an extendable roof that can extend all the way down to the ground to cover your windows during a bomb blast and also allow you to have more solar panels on your roof or to sled down it in the winter, a sprinkler system on your roof to protect your house from burning down during a bomb blast or a forest fire, a storage space underneath a waterbed that you can lay in to use the water of the bed to block the radiation that seeps through your walls. Also: levels of sadism at which you can find something funny without feeling guilty about it; pressing a board against the inside of your windows to support them and painting the board to look like the inside of your house from the outside (Wile E. Coyote style) so your neighbors don't judge you; the 3 things we'd want in a bomb shelter

Bad Singer Living in a Musical (Movie)

Movie, Music, SillinessAce ArmstrongComment

Idea: A movie set in a universe where people sing and dance all of the time (like in a musical or Bollywood movie), and the protagonist is horribly bad at both singing and dancing, which causes his life to be very difficult. Also: Angelyne and the Rockefeller-era woman who couldn't sing but her rich parents tried to make her a famous singer; Bear Grylls struggling to live with the Kardashians, as narrated by David Attenborough

Small Talk Mask

Invention, Silliness, TechDeepak "DP" AggarwalComment

Idea: A speaker hidden inside a mask which uses AI to talk for you (pretending to be you) so you don't have to small talk. Also: it could "trash talk" for you if you get tongue-tied in stressful situations; it could help standup comedians by handling heckers, doing your act for you if you lose your spot in your set, or the audience could wear it and it could laugh for them; it could be warn on other parts of your body, such as to be a fart machine

ThanksKaren Day

Event or Activity, SillinessJuan Carlos CalvachiComment

Idea: A holiday where "Karens" who got caught committing an act of rudeness (i.e. being a "Karen") are punished by having to give a gift to a randomized victim of a different "Karen" during that same year. The gift recipients are randomized because the "Karens" might find it difficult to give a non-passive-aggressive gift to their own victim. Also: alternative "Karen" punishments; the "Karen" might make you pay to ship the gift or pepper spray you if you pick it up in person; can young people be Karens ("baby Karens"?) or men can be Karens ("Kevins"?); accidentally providing an incentive to incite "Karens"

Imaginary Friend Prank

Silliness, PrankRheila GraeComment

Idea: A prank where a group of people at a restaurant pretend to interact with an imaginary friend, including ordering for them, arguing with them, eating the food off their plate (when the wait staff isn't looking), getting the wait staff to sing happy birthday to an empty chair, etc. Also: playing a similar imaginary friend prank at work (with the help of a coworker) for months; fabricating a life story of an imaginary friend, including their dating history, their failed attempts to land a job, etc; creating a Facebook page or GoFundMe for an imaginary friend

Concrete-Filled Ketchup Bottle Self-Defense Weapon

Silliness, Food, NSFWRheila GraeComment

Idea: A ketchup bottle with concrete hidden inside to be used as a blunt-force self-defense weapon, so an attacker wouldn't realize it was a weapon and take it from you. Also: the weirdness of carrying around a ketchup bottle; the risk of people asking you for ketchup (which you don't have); carrying a ketchup bottle could give you an excuse for having someone's blood on you (i.e. you could say that it's just ketchup)

Bug Zapper Earrings

Business Idea, Clothing, SillinessChris YoungComment

Idea: Earrings which also function as a bug zapper, to be worn while camping to keep the bugs away. Also: the risk of electrocuting your head if you dive into a lake; using them as a mini-grill for tiny diet-sized pieces of chicken; shoving your wife's head towards a spider; if her ears start smoking, either she just killed a bug or she's really mad

Casual Dating vs Violent Family Opposition

Silliness, NSFWBlaine DrewsComment

A bizarre scenario where a casual relationship with someone who's incredibly attractive has a strange, violent downside, which is that their brother periodically beats you up. Also: questioning whether you'd be willing to endure this scenario, and for how long; brainstorming about whether this scenario can be monetized, such as by substituting the brother with a violent contractor for hire or by selling T-shirts with padding to help you endure the violence (i.e. the opposite of a "wife beater" T-shirt); questioning whether the scenario is real and whether Blaine (the guy who brought up this topic) is in immediate danger

Dip Pants

Clothing, SillinessCam HoneyagerComment

Idea: Pants to wear when you eat dip (bean dip, french onion dip, etc.) which repel dip if you spill it on them. Also: spraying PFOS/teflon on pants to make them "non-stick"; putting fleece on the inside of the pants to make them more comfortable but possibly so warm that they overheat your groin and make you infertile; a (fictional) traumatic childhood story about spilling dip on pants

Next Intelligent Species (Comedic Debate)

Silliness, SciFiNolan JohncockComment

A comedic debate about which of four existing animal species (rat, raccoon, octopus, or crow) would be the first to develop human-level intelligence if humanity got wiped out. Also, if they all developed intelligence at about the same time, a debate about which would win in a mechanized inter-species world war. Also: raccoons have thumbs which they could use to wield tools; several nations have recognized octopi as sentient beings; modern-day crows can form pair bonds and work with wolves like our human ancestors did, and so, in the future, dogs could be effectively enslaved.... again; The Great Australian Emu War of 1932

Super Citizens

SillinessMike SzarComment

Idea: A special citizenship status with fun privileges which allow you act like an action movie hero and commandeer another person's car, and also maybe take people's food, swap clothing with them, cut in front of them in a line, etc. Also: you'd have to do a brave heroic act to become a Super Citizen; "Improving Citizens" who have to "clean up the messes" of the Super Citizens, i.e. return the cars taken by Super Citizens to their owners; discussing our own successful and unsuccessful acts of heroic bravery
