Invention

Beerscreen

Invention, Health, SillinessChris YoungComment

Idea: Either something that you add to beer to cause you to gradually sweat out sunscreen, or beer in sunscreen that can be absorbed through the skin. Also: if you smell like beer, alcoholic men might try to lick you, other odd and possibly dangerous ways to ingest alcohol

Socialburn

Invention, Social Media, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: A cheap phone-like device which only communicates using Bluetooth or point-to-point WiFi with friends, primarily for social networking of juicy gossip/media that you don't want on the Internet. Also: a new category of slower but more secure social media posts/messages, posts/messages bouncing from friend-to-friend and acknowledgements bouncing back, having a different "socialburn" device for each of your social cliques, a shockingly evil use of this device

Tsunami Machine

Evil, InventionTom WalmaComment

Idea: Scientists predict that a landslide on a tiny island off the coast of Africa could create a mega-tsunami across the entire East Coast of the US. Since such a small thing (a landslide on a tiny island) can create a tsunami, it should also be possible to design a giant machine to create a tsunami. Also: maybe a tsunami machine could create a tsunami to cancel out another tsunami

Reverse Pacemaker

Health, Invention, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: An implantable medical device that detects when your heart stops, alerts a hospital, and then, instead of restarting your heart like a defibrillator/pacemaker, creates a cooling reaction in a cooling pad inside your body to cool nearby blood, and then the cooled blood is pumped through the body. This cooling slows cell death and gives you a few hours to be revived (like people who've drowned in Arctic ice water and then were revived a few hours later)

"Honky" Custom Car Horn Sound Device

Invention, Tech, CarsTed MossComment

Idea: A device (the "honky") that makes different car horn sounds to communicate different things, like "look out", "excuse me", "screw you", or "my bad". Also, maybe configurable text on the front/rear or your car that says "move over"

Future Car

Business Idea, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Invention, Tech, CarsTom WalmaComment

Idea: A single-person electric car/vehicle that's skinny enough to drive through a door into a house or building (so you no longer need a garage, and you can go fast down hallways at work). It can orient itself both horizontally like a motorcycle and vertically like a Segway, and travel up and down elevator shafts instead of using elevators.

Also, the privacy of having your own transportation vehicle is important, because at least one day of your life you'll probably shart your pants, and you don't want to prolong your humiliation by taking public transportation back to your house

Bathroom Cleanliness Invention Ideas

Invention, TechTom WalmaComment

Two ideas to help make public restrooms cleaner: 1) A camera inside a bathroom stall door which is mechanically connected to the door lock. It would slide completely inside the door (so it can't see anything) when the door is locked, and align with a hole in the door to view the stall when the door is unlocked, so it can see who made a mess in the stall as they leave the stall, and 2) half-globe-shaped devices which fold down over the two halves of a horseshoe-shaped toilet seat when the toilet seat is up (kind of like those half-globe things in hair salons that fold down over people's heads). The half-globe devices would clean the toilet seat by spraying it with water and then drying it off with an air blower

Apple Tree Nets

Food, InventionSimon CarlsonComment

Idea: Nets to catch apples which fall out of apple trees, so they don't land on the ground, in which case they can't legally be sold in stores. The nets could also be used to catch deer who wander into the apple orchard trying to eat the apples

Bed Invention Ideas

Invention, SillinessTom WalmaComment

A bunch of ideas to make beds better, such as
* Side-walls to lean against to support your midsection so you don't have to stuff a pillow in front of your stomach to hold in your gut fat
* Split-bed tents which mimic the gradual light and temperature reduction of night-time and hold in the sounds of snoring and smells of night-time flatulence so you don't annoy your spouse
* A mini under-bed panic area with a bulletproof mattress and sniper holes to shoot at the intruder's feet
* Etc.

Poop Roomba

Invention, NSFW, Tech, PetsTeena GreenComment

Idea: A robotic, Roomba-like device to clean up dog poop in your yard, so you don't have to pick it up. We also discuss women using poop in acts of revenge, "code brown", simulated pregnancy in adult robots, and shooting dog poop into tiny pieces with high-powered water jets built into sprinkler systems

Poop Sponge

NSFW, InventionSarah WooleyComment

Idea: A sponge or tampon that you insert into your butt to absorb poop, so you can conveniently remove the poop without sitting on the toilet or making any noise. Also: the "dirty tulip", hospital bedpans and how you quickly become incontinent if you don't use your rectal/bowel muscles

New Low-Carb Eating Utensils

Food, Health, InventionTom WalmaComment

Idea: New eating utensils for low carb meals, because Tom thinks that low-carb bowls (like burrito bowls) and salads take too long to chew. He has 3 ideas of new utensils: burger scoop, half-lemon on a stick, and doughless pizza pan/plate with pizza wiper

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

Chivalry Device

InventionScott GaughanComment

Idea: A device called the "Chivalry Device" which holds open your car door and "locks" it in one place, so elderly or disabled people can use the car door to help them stand up, and also hold open the door if you're parked on a hill. Hopefully it doesn't fail so that the car door is stuck open, because you might get pulled over for that

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)
