Idea: Karaoke for blind people. Also: human record players, can you drink while doing brailleoke, the blind kid who tried to play football

Idea: Boarding houses to provide around-the-clock care to babies until they're around 2.5 years old (and potty trained). Also: accidentally creepy parenting book titles, Puritanical diaper penance, is all postpartum depression hormonal or does changing diapers and not sleeping just suck, the biggest jobs program for uneducated people of all time, giving unprepared parents time (3 years) to get their life on track before they have to be parents

Idea: A futuristic city made out of movable cubes which can be made to be ultra-lightweight using a vacuum in the upper stories, allowing the buildings to be up to 3 miles high, to fly, and to control the weather (make it rain and stop tornadoes)

Idea: A conspiracy theory that Donald Trump and Drake are the same person, because Drake songs sound kind of like Trump speeches. Also: an impression of Trump singing a Drake song, questioning whether Trump is a reptilian, questioning whether successful draft-dodging makes you smart and if you'd dodge the draft

Idea: A teaching system which involves firing all of the teachers and replacing them with cheap unskilled classroom monitors, multimedia lessons, and tutors. Multiple companies develop competing lessons for the same small topic (ranging from 1 to 10 classroom hours long). The more successful lessons (based on standardized test results for that topic) will "survive" and be taught to a greater percentage of future students, causing the company to be paid accordingly. Strong competition, continued and rapid lesson improvement, unbiased statistical feedback, and equal opportunity are all built into the system, none of which can be said about the current educational system.

Idea: A futuristic city which is a single large building made out of a 3D grid of cubes of living/working space which can be added, removed, and shuffled around on demand. Also: eliminating the concept of "landlord" (and Trump's source of income), moving without having to pack, elevators are vertical roads that can be maintained by the city, Wile E. Coyote walls and steampunk themed neighborhoods

Idea: Strip clubs which keep prices low by using old men wearing sweaters as strippers. Also: "lemon party", the smell of incontinent old men wearing sweaters and profusely sweating, giving the old men poor tips as revenge because they don't understand money and only gave you 25 cents to mow their lawn

Idea: A presidential election where the candidates aren't announced until the day before the election. Also: debates don't matter because they aren't really debates anyway. Alternate idea: giving voters drugs that temporarily impair their memories on election day to force them to take a fresh look at the candidates

Idea: A service for ordering and purchasing healthy fresh foods in convenience stores and gas stations where there are no nearby grocery stores (i.e. in "food deserts"). Customers pre-ordering via a phone app, intelligent predictive demand algorithms, and order sniping would allow this to be financially plausible. Also: solving a major world problem as a form of revenge to steal the glory from another person trying to solve the same problem

Idea (NSFW): A web site or app for crowdfunding cosmetic surgeries (primarily breast implants) in exchange for adult pictures and paraphernalia. Also: men not donating because "she's not hot yet", using post-surgery or botched surgery photos to gross out your friends, getting breast cancer on purpose to get insurance to pay for your breast implants

Idea: A soccer-like sport played in a cylindrical court in the weightlessness of space (inside a spacecraft). The goals would be on each side of the cylindrical court, and players would bounce off the walls like pinballs and try to push a heavy medicine ball into the goal. A team would consist of a diverse group of people, including big strong people and tiny gymnastic people which can be easily tossed around by their teammates. Also: early NFL team purchase prices vs. current value, it could maybe be played in the "vomit comet" airplanes
