Modular Indoor/Outdoor Electric Flying Car

Drones, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Invention, Tech, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea (NSFW): A single-person electric car whose chassis can switch between horizontal mode (like a motorcycle) and vertical mode (like a Segway). When in vertical mode, it would be thin enough to fit through an ordinary door, so you could drive it inside buildings and up and down elevators. Modular attachments would be available, such as an SUV-like "family compartment" or a quadcopter flying car attachment

Audio Parasite

Evil, SciFi, Body Augmentation, Futuristic, TechMatt HamiltonComment

Idea: An electronic device that digs into your ear like a parasite and broadcasts Matt's voice into your brain. Most people would prefer to READ people's minds, but Matt is a narcissist who wants the exact opposite. And he wants to do it to the entire world. The way to defeat him would be to broadcast his voice back to him with a slight delay like a "speech jammer"

Nuclear Powered Snow Machines

Environmentalism, Futuristic, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: Launching steam created by nuclear power plants straight up into the air in cold areas such as Alaska or Antarctica, to make it snow onto land, to counteract sea rise due to glaciers melting and falling into the ocean

Futuristic Tiny Houses

Business Idea, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Invention, Tech, Tiny HousesTom WalmaComment

Tom's idea for a futuristic tiny house where most (or all) of your stuff is wheeled in and out by robots. The idea also solves gerrymandering, makes "universal basic income" feasible, solves the Flint Water Crisis, and gives people the freedom to escape their miserable 9-to-5 office jobs and live nomadic lives of leisure. But everyone opposes it because it involves sharing toilets

Individually Adjustable Window Blinds

App, Invention, TechTom WalmaComment

Tom thinks that window blinds are designed wrong, because when they are half open, they expose your groin to your neighbors and block your eyes from seeing out the window. He'd like individually-adjustable window blinds controlled by an app, that way you can choose what you can see (and which body parts to expose)

Personality Bracelet

Futuristic, TechTed MossComment

Idea: A bracelet (or a hologram of a bracelet projected by a smart watch) which, when you shake someone's hand, (optionally) shows them your personality quiz results, and (mandatory, by law) shows them your criminal record. That way, when you meet new people, they instantly know if you're a good person or a bad person

No Hot Shower Water Until You Floss

Health, Invention, TechTom WalmaComment

Tom didn't floss. He bought a water pik, and he still didn't floss. He bought a water pik to go into his shower, and he still doesn't floss. So he thinks there should be an app to detect that you use the shower water pik, and if you don't use it, it blocks you from having hot water in the shower. That way, maybe he'll finally floss

Baby Translator

Futuristic, Parenting, TechBryan HarrisonComment

A "baby translator" should be possible by now. Or at least a giant mother-scaring helmet that can analyze the baby's brain waves and figure out why it's crying, including where on its body a pain signal is coming from. Although this would lead to social pressure to use the brain-scanning helmet whenever out with the baby in public, such as on an airplane

Street Justice

Tech, Evil, App, CarsGimmy CiprianoComment

An app or electronic device to help you humiliate or take revenge upon rude or reckless drivers. Also, should we have different car horns for different emotions, and/or eliminate the car horn?

Cinderella App

Evil, App, Parenting, TechScott Fischer1 Comment

Idea: An app which allows parents to remotely shut off a tail-light on their teenage kid's car if the kid stays out too late. That way, if the kid's gonna be out too late, he better stay sober, because he's at a high risk of getting pulled over

Refrigerator Outdoor Exhaust Vent

Environmentalism, Invention, TechDustin "Lee"Comment

In the winter, a fridge takes warm air from inside the house which has been warmed by your heater, and cools it off again.

In the summer, a fridge vents hot air into a house which you're trying to cool down with air conditioning.

Why not position your fridge next to an outside wall, and use a vent/duct leading outdoors to either take in or vent out air (depending on the season) to save electricity? Or you could have a 2nd, tiny refrigerator door which leads outside, so Amazon grocery delivery can place food directly into the fridge. This could also allow you to sit in the fridge with the tiny door open to cool yourself off

Mind-Control Haunted House Security

TechDale MurdockComment

A psychic or spiritual way to control your house with your mind, to make blood seep through the walls to scare away burglars, and to do mundane things like run the coffee maker and detect leaky pipes. Also: Neuralink brain implants which only work for a specific company and have themes such as “goth”

Bad Driver Hunger Games Lottery

Evil, Tech, CarsBrandon PonkeComment

If someone is at fault in a car accident, almost causes an accident, or is just being a jerk on the road, their car's AI computer (which all cars will be required to have installed) will detect that this occurred, and then, when they park, the car will release knockout gas. Then the person will be put in a lottery with like 100 other bad drivers, and the person whose name gets drawn will be punished. The punishment will be that they'll be killed, or they'll be given drugs that cause them to poop their pants in their car

The Party Ship Sci-Fi Movie

Movie, Tech, FuturisticTom WalmaComment

A sci-fi movie, where, in the near future, an eccentric billionaire adventurer like Elon Musk leads the first mission to colonize a planet of a nearby star. They've figured out how to slow down aging via drugs and hibernation, so they age like 1/10 as fast as usual. So they can survive the entire 200-year journey, and still be young enough to have kids when they get there. But they can only hibernate for 90 days at a time. So every 90 days, they wake up, do a day of work, have an intense drug-fueled party, and then go back into hibernation before the hangover kicks in. So instead of space travel being logical and business-like and boring, it's the exact opposite, overflowing with fun and emotion and intense experiences. But will the people who signed up for a party be able to cope when things start to go wrong?

Benefits of Implantable Microchips

Tech, Body Augmentation, FuturisticJason AltComment

The three things men need to carry are phone, wallet, and keys. A sub-dermal microchip could eliminate 2 of those 3 things, and could also do other cool stuff, like store your customized settings for smart appliances. And security issues don't really matter because you're always carrying a cell phone anyway. The biggest downside is that somebody might cut it out of your body to steal it

Boom-B-Gone

Tech, Invention, Music, CarsChris KarpinskiComment

A device to cancel out loud, vibrating bass from nearby cars when you're at a stoplight or stuck in a traffic jam. And maybe also wirelessly lock the person's car doors so they don't get out and attack you if they figure out that you silenced their music
