Personality Bracelet

February 7, 2020Futuristic, 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

Just-In-Case Pillowcase

February 7, 2020Invention, Parenting, NSFWJason PattersonComment

Idea: A special pillowcase which contains a pouch to hold a condom, to use as a backup if you forgot to carry one in your wallet or keep one elsewhere in your house. Also, a great gift to awkwardly give your child on the day they move out of the house when starting college

Time Tube

February 7, 2020Futuristic, SciFi, NSFWKevin SmithComment

Idea: A sci-fi device and Netflix-like video streaming service to allow you to watch video of the past, anywhere and any time throughout history. Although, maybe it should be limited to stuff that happened more than 200 years ago, so you don't need to live in Stepford-like tyrannical politeness because people could catch you lying and/or watching pornography

Cars Without Batteries

February 3, 2020Invention, Doomsday Prepping, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea: Cars don't need batteries. Brakelights can be LED lights with batteries built into the bulb. The speedometer and console (except the fuel gauge) can be a phone app. The electricity needed to start the car (i.e. ignition) can be obtained by electric car charging stations which are being added to parking spots.

No Hot Shower Water Until You Floss

February 3, 2020Health, 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

Twinkie Defense Offensive

February 3, 2020Politics and Social IssueDerek BrandComment

Idea: A change is needed to the criminal justice system to prevent the "Twinkie Defense" and other ridiculous criminal defenses, because sometimes they succeed. Or maybe it's a good thing that criminals try to use dumb excuses

Air Hoses For Oscillating Fans

February 3, 2020InventionTom WalmaComment

Idea: A baseball-width air hose to attach to the back of an oscillating fan, where the air hose leads to a cool basement or to cool night-time outdoor air (possibly using the same hole on the side of your house as the "bug disposal hole" from the previous idea)
