Health Care for Aliens

SciFi, SillinessAvery SommerfeldComment

Idea: To provide free health care to space aliens, and also pay them money, so they don't eat us. Also: "It sounds like you're putting a positive spin on us being their slaves", maybe bald aliens travel the universe because hairy aliens' spaceships would fill with hair after 1000s of years of haircuts, maybe people see politicians as "reptilians" because humans never instinctually got used to seeing wrinkly-skinned people (who look like snakes shedding their skin) because we used to die before we could get old enough to have snake-like wrinkly skin

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

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

Car Roof Holograms

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

Modular Skyscraper City Part 2

Futuristic, SciFi, SillinessTom WalmaComment

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)

Modular Skyscraper City

Futuristic, SciFiTom WalmaComment

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

Space Soccer

Futuristic, Sports, SciFiTom WalmaComment

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

Forrest Gump 2 Still Running

Movie, Silliness, SciFiMichael DinkelisComment

Idea: A parody sci-fi sequal to the movie Forrest Gump, where Forrest Gump lives as artificial intelligence in a computer, plays Pong instead of Ping Pong, takes over Skynet, and blows up the world in order to destroy all pornographic digital pictures of Jenny

Fantasy Sci-Fi Audio Stories

SciFi, BookLoyd DiggComment

Idea: To write and record fantasy/sci-fi audio stories, and release them either as audiobooks or a podcast. Also: standup comedy, how the "Dungeons & Dragons" game works and how being a "dungeon master" is great training for being a fantasy/sci-fi author,

Terminator Bees Movie

Movie, SciFiTom WalmaComment

Idea: A low budget sci-fi movie where bees are genetically modified to attack people and explode. The bees only attack people if they 1) talk, 2) walk, or 3) use tools i.e. use their hands to do stuff. So people have to find silly and weird ways to survive without doing these three things

Replacement Body / Replacement Brain

Futuristic, SciFi, Tech, HealthTom WalmaComment

Idea: In the 1950s, a Russian scientist was able to attach a dog's head onto another dog's body, and it survived for a few weeks. We should be able to do much better now. So if a person is terminally ill, we should attach their brain/head to a machine (i.e. replacement body) to get maybe a few months of extra life, and attach the body to a machine (i.e. replacement brain). The head/brain can live a little longer and have fun in virtual reality games, and the body can be used for medical testing, without worrying about causing suffering. Over time, as the technology gets better, the head can live longer and longer, to the point where maybe everyone who is old and/or has minor health problems will choose to do it, even if not terminally ill

Animal Kingdom

Movie, SciFiShallis MComment

Idea: A sci-fi movie kind of like Planet of the Apes, except that multiple species of animals, such as lab rats/mice and dogs, become more intelligent than humans. Some types of animals, such as dogs, side with humans, and others side against humans. A giant civil war between intelligent animals occurs (which humans are not aware of), where one side wants to take over the world and destroy/enslave humans, and the other side wants to leave humans alone and escape to outer space

Note: This episode was recorded at a “test run” during a poker game, and was not released on the podcast feed, due to the poor audio quality

Human-Plant Hybrids

SciFi, Silliness, NSFWAvery SommerfeldComment

Idea (NSFW): To use genetic engineering to combine plants with animals or people, so they can be your pets/friends/partners, can let you know if they need water or nutrients to grow better, or can be easily cloned and made into a plant army to take over the world. Also: plant fetishes, coconut trees killing more people than sharks

Remote Control for In-Person Conversations

SciFi, SillinessMatt HamiltonComment

Idea: A sci-fi device that allows you to use controls currently found on a television remote control (pause, fast-forward, volume up/down, closed captioning, etc.) to control conversations in real life. The primary purpose would be to skip boring small talk when you wish someone would hurry up and get to the point, but you could also pause/rewind if you need to hear something again, etc.

JurWrestle Park

Movie, SciFi, SillinessJustin SiekierkaComment

Idea: A Jurassic Park parody, where instead of the eccentric billionaire cloning dinosaurs (who run amok in a park and kill people), he clones dead professional wrestlers from the 1980s (who also run amok in a park and start killing people). Yokozuna stomps on the ground and causes the water in the cup to shake, The Ultimate Warrior shakes the fence and breaks loose, Macho Man is the dilophosaurus who spreads his colorful wings, the raptors are a tag team, and the main characters escape when the murderous wrestlers are attacked by an even larger murderous wrestler

Moral Selection

Animal Rights / Vegan, Environmentalism, Futuristic, Politics and Social Issue, SciFi, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: Environmental activism/engineering, where instead of trying to return nature to an arbitrary past before humans arrived, we use genetic engineering, technology, etc. to engineer the environment and the DNA of animals to make them experience more pleasure and less fear and suffering ("moral selection" as opposed to "natural selection" aka Darwinism). It's a way for humans to become "the best thing that ever happened to the universe". And it's the best option for finding meaning in life, because it's such a big task that it won't be solved/automated in many lifetimes, leaving everybody with nothing to do with the rest of their lives. Also, there are plenty of tasks for everybody (even dumb people) to do, like saving animals from freezing to death, gathering DNA samples of animals, etc.
