Hurricane-Proof Housing Ideas

Doomsday Prepping, Tiny HousesTom WalmaComment

Ideas for hurricane-proof housing by myself and others, including floating houses in water-filled holes, "indoor tiny house(s)" that reside inside a full-sized house or skyscraper or standalone "shell" (like an iPhone case for a house) which can be towed away with your stuff inside if a hurricane comes (leaving the shell behind), houses where most of your stuff is continuously wheeled in and out of your house by robots to and from a neighborhood warehouse which can be hurricane-proof and/or flood-proof, and floating entire cities on ping-pong balls. Also: People seem incapable of seeing beyond natural disasters to design and plan houses and cities to withstand hurricanes and global warming sea rise. They're like the villain who was frozen in fear as Austin Powers drove a steamroller towards him at a snail's pace

Rapid-Response Meme Ad Agency

Business IdeaBryan Harrison1 Comment

Idea: An ad agency that quickly detects Internet memes and shoots TV commercials using that meme within a couple hours to be aired on TV that same day. Also: An external company could detect these Internet memes and sell that info to ad agencies and other companies; TV commercials based on memes that failed because they didn't air until months after the meme was stale

Vigilante Cop and Lawyer TV Show

TV ShowRon RigbyComment

Idea: A TV show where a police chief and defense attorney conspire to cause guilty defendants to be found innocent so they can murder them. They'd use high-tech tools to perform the murders and get away with it. Also: questioning whether PC culture steers people towards darker TV shows to vent their anger

Gamify Manual Labor

Futuristic, TechOndrej BalasComment

Idea: The time spent doing repetitive tasks to gather health or money inside a videogame could instead control a real-life robot doing a real job in real life, such as stacking grocery store shelves. Also: If a real-life grocery-stacking robot scared a mother and caused her to drop her baby, you'd lose points in the game; a game like "Rollercoaster Tycoon" where you're controlling a real company but you don't know it; training people to overcome agoraphobia
