Weapons For Animals

Idea: To put human-targeting gun turrets in nature areas (and possibly also arm the animals themselves) to protect them from people and possibly also invasive species. Also: lazy panda bears as picky Roman dictators; giving bees BB guns or hiding machine guns inside beehives; showing jungle animals Andrew Tate videos and then giving them guns just to watch the world burn; inheriting the family business of creating dragons and watering it down to giving bees pocket knives

Tinder For Pets

Idea: An app for pet owners to connect directly (peer-to-peer) for pet meetups, primarily for pet "hookups", but also pet sitting, pet adoption, pet play dates, sharing pet products, and other pet-related activities. Also: ideas for involving the pet in the "date" selection process, including teaching pets to "swipe right", pet tumescence meters, and using smell-o-vision for pheromones; inter-species hookups and catfishing; tech billionaires, the "Zuck spectrum", and dogs in VR; using sci-fi tech to allow neutered pets and pet species which are normally incapable of climax to get off

Animal Fight Club Movie

Idea: A movie where evil rich people create a secret gambling ring to bet on fights between species of animals, like a gorilla vs. a grizzly bear. In the movie, the rich people would get their comeuppance and get killed by the animals. Also: debating with friends on who'd win in fights between animals or between animals and people, such as "who'd win: 20 squirrels vs. a guy wearing an acorn suit"; having multiple versions of the movie (like the movie "Clue") so the audience could bet on the (fake CGI) animal fight scenes; casting animal-rights activist celebs to play over-the-top villians who get eaten by the animals

Wild Animal Home Renovation Show

Idea: A home renovation show for the homes or habitats of wild animals (bears, beavers, birds, etc). Examples of renovations include a recliner for a sloth, salmon on tap for a bear, and an even dirtier toilet for a sewer rat. The TV show could show sad back stories (such as a penguin getting covered with oil during an oil spill) and could give the animals special gifts (like a prosthetic leg). The animals could maul the hosts to death if they don't like the renovations. Also: a more humane zoo; famous attempts to build armor to survive animal attacks; PETA bailing out somebody who burned down an animal testing lab at a university and then returning to the university to recruit new members; Tom got chewed out as a child in the 90s for emailing a nature conservatory asking for funny chimp videos

Frankenburger

Idea: A healthy fast food restaurant which proudly proclaims that its food is not natural and that its veggie and/or lab-grown meat doesn't taste as good as real meat. But it's the same price, is humane to animals, is half the calories, and (unlike normal fast food) is reheatable. And the taste is constantly improving (multiple times per year), which encourages people to come back and try it again. Also: encouraging people to cook their own food is a poor design for society; health food snobs contribute to the obesity crisis by refusing to eat healthy food at fast food restaurants

Elevated Roads

Idea: All roads/driveways/parking should be elevated, to allow animals to roam free, and for people to live in harmony with nature on the ground. Although it might ruin the fun of rollercoasters

Smart Shock Collars for Cats (To Save Birds)

Idea: Shock collars which shock cats when they're attacking birds, to keep pet cats from killing so many birds that the birds go extinct. The shock collars would use cameras and artificial intelligence to figure out when the cat is attacking a bird. The cameras could also provide fun cat-view video footage. The shock collars could also shock a mountain lion if it's eating the pet cat, to deter the mountain lion from killing and eating future cats

Moral Selection

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.

Idea: A small hole in the side of your house or in a window to use to conveniently and humanely eject bugs from your house which you catch using a handheld "bug sucker" device

Big D#$! Diet Plan

A plant-based diet that improves male performance (according to a documentary on Netflix), where the performance of a male partner is playfully mocked if they don't stick to the diet. Also: vegan farts, "fart guys", gym peacocking, and obesity's impact on male size
