Tech

Social Media Frame

Futuristic, Social Media, Tech, AppChristian RoyceComment

Idea: An app which runs on "smart glasses" and allows you to view the most recent social media post(s) of whoever you're looking at. The primary purpose is to see if you're compatible with them (or see if they're crazy) before flirting with them. Also: the TV show "You" and questioning whether the app is creepy, altering your flirting strategy based on their social media, we each share our most recent tweet and discuss whether it'd discourage women from flirting with us

Manually-Controlled Moonbots

Futuristic, Robots, SciFi, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: To build a moon colony using remote-control robots piloted by uneducated factory workers. Also: generational space penis envy, giving uneducated people jobs controlling remote-control moon robots to keep them from revolting and destroying society, Elon Musk's AI-based robot built Mars colony might lead to the AI-based robot apocalypse but a remote-control-based robot built moon colony might help us merge with machines and save us from the AI-based robot apocalypse

Ballpit Moon Dome

SciFi, Silliness, Tech, FuturisticTom WalmaComment

Idea: A colony inside a moon crater where the roof is self-repairing and is made out of small balloons. Also: questioning whether the idea makes sense, a roof collapse where the balloons fall into the crater and everyone suffocates would look like the most horrific birthday party of all time

Innovation Olympics

Event or Activity, Futuristic, Sports, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: A new type of Olympics where each event is designed to promote innovation in human biological enhancement/recovery, sporting equipment technology, or both; events include Human Battering Ram, Vertical Running, Flugtag (human powered flying machines), Artificial Liver Drinking Contest, and Team Pole Vault (where the pole vaulter goes so high they need to parachute down). Also: a moderate amount of danger and serious injury is encouraged because it advances the technology of medicine and physical therapy

Underage Indicator

Tech, NSFW, FuturisticRobert JohnsonComment

Idea: A visual indicator that a woman is underage so you don't accidentally hit on her. Also: steroid-filled chickens that might make women grow up quicker and also beat you up, comedians telling dirty jokes when there are kids in the audience, the possibility of using a weird disappearing birthmark as an underage indicator

Tech Ideas for Racial Equality

Education, Futuristic, Politics and Social Issue, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: Three tech-based ideas for transforming society in a way which would lead to more racial equality, including a new grade-school teaching system ("Teach or Die"), a new low-cost futuristic type of housing ("Stuff-On-Demand Housing"), and a new architectural/city-planning framework ("Garage Cities") which would encourage low-cost and flexible entrepreneurship and would also reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne diseases

Raciogastrointestinal Harmony

Food, Politics and Social Issue, Silliness, TechDave CrumbleyComment

Idea: To solve racism by forcing everybody to wear augmented-reality race-swapping glasses which cause them to see their family and their favorite celebrities as the race that they hate the most. Also, a theory that the reason it's hard to digest "ethnic food" (or food from other cultures/races) is racism, and therefore that ending racism will cause both racial and gastrointestinal harmony

Event or Activity, Futuristic, Tech, DronesTom WalmaComment

Idea: A virtual reality videogame where the main character uses a handheld helicopter drone to propel himself/herself around on roller skates and chop up enemies.

Archimedes Death Mirror

Evil, Cars, Silliness, TechSteve HansenComment

Idea: To somehow use your rear-view mirror to blind people who are driving behind you with their brights on. Also: the poetic justice of blinding someone with their own light, intentionally becoming a victim so you can justifiably take delicious revenge

Oceanic Voice Cancellation

Silliness, TechBranden MilskComment

Idea: Voice cancellation where a person's voice is replaced by the soothing sounds of the ocean. Also: it'd make you more likeable if you're an annoying person, the best way to get fired, ruining ocean vacations

Backwards Time Travel

Futuristic, SciFi, Tech, Event or ActivityTom WalmaComment

Idea: A weird way to approximate backwards time travel in video games and possibly the real world. Also: the "Back to the Future" disappearing photo, memory manipulation and trans-cranial direct-current stimulation, delayed remembering of externally-stored memories, the perils of living in the past, the "satanic panic" of the 80s, Wild West bar fights

Evil, Cars, SciFi, Silliness, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: Holograms on the roofs of cars for expressing anger to nearby drivers. Also: sparkly ambulances in Japan, the 2Pac hologram, the Pepper's ghost illusion, mistaking the car roof hologram for a soul leaving the body after a car crash

Just-In-Time Tiny Houses

Tiny Houses, Tech, FuturisticTom WalmaComment

Idea: Houses where most of the furniture and possessions are wheeled in and out on demand by small Roomba-sized robots. Also: getting rid of the idea of "themed rooms" like "bedroom" and "bathroom", the elimination of house chores, wheelable toilets with privacy snuggies, sharing appliances and select items with neighbors and with strangers on the global shipping grid, moving without packing and how it could lead to civil war

Gym Truck

Health, App, Business Idea, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: An Uber-like service for delivering parking-space-sized gyms to people's houses for the duration of a workout. Also: could be used for playing VR videogames, could replace strip clubs and sleazy hookup hotels, could incorporate health food delivery and personal trainers (or polar bears), flipping off delivery vehicles of unhealthy foods (i.e. pizza)

Slamchat

App, Silliness, TechErich LauxComment

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

Restaurant Touchscreen Tables

Tech, Food, FuturisticChris LazarComment

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul

Tech Rant

TechCory B.Comment

A rant about poorly designed and/or pointless technology, such as voice recognition and smart homes. Also: smart light switches which fail to turn off the light, the smartest people in our society are working on dumb tech instead of important life-saving tech, an anecdote about a strobe light at a poker game
