Idea: A community kind of like the Amish but where technology and culture is based on the 1990s (or some other time period), but they still have up-to-date medical technology. Also: bartering with the Amish; Napster, beepers, and giant "Saved By the Bell" cell phones; dividing the entire world into self-sufficient societies based on different technological eras for robustness in case a major disaster like a super-volcano occurs

Dog-Themed Standup Comedy Show

June 2, 2023Event or Activity, PetsKim CookComment

Idea: A standup comedy show where comics and the audience can bring their dogs, and the topic of most or all of the standup comedy is centered around dogs. Also: the Comedy Castle bringing service dogs to comedy shows to train them to behave in a chaotic environment; adopting dogs to drunk audience members who'd wake up the next morning with a hangover and a surprise of a new pet dog; a service dog barking at a comedian during a comedy contest and causing him to win; other experimental comedy shows where the comics eat hot peppers, get shocked, get eggs thrown at them, or get their head periodically submerged underwater

Sickness Commercials

May 30, 2023Futuristic, SciFi, Silliness, HealthTom WalmaComment

Idea: To use a futuristic Neuralink-style brain implant to make you briefly feel a disease when you watch the corresponding drug commercial on TV, to help you self-diagnose whether or not you have the disease. Also: making you feel worse if you have Covid or a transmittable disease to dissuade you from leaving the house and spreading it; making you feel the pain of a starving person or to lose a child to gun violence during a charity commercial or PSA; giving people universal basic income only if they submit to allowing TV commercials, the government, your doctor, etc. to use your brain implant to cause you pain with the goal if making you a good citizen (ie teaching you empathy, reduce spread of viruses, etc.)

Wearable Airbags

May 23, 2023Clothing, SillinessDan BrittainComment

Idea: Airbags embedded into clothing to protect you from getting injured from slipping and falling, and maybe also motorcycle accidents and other scenarios. Also: an airbag for a helmet that puffs out like an afro; the brutality of car airbags; a special helmet or shield to protect your face and teeth; distrust of dentistry and the cost of getting new implantable teeth

Calorie Counting Device

May 16, 2023Health, Food, TechKim CookComment

Idea: A wearable device, like an Apple Watch or patch, that is somehow able to count the calories of the food you eat without any effort on your part, because keeping a food diary, even with an app, is annoying and time consuming. Also: using a combination of sensors and devices to estimate your calorie intake, including the Apple Watch to measure your blood sugar, some sort of implantable device in your stomach or nasal cavity, and a smart toilet to weigh and/or analyze your poop; using a "buttprint" or your DNA to automatically figure out who's using the toilet; an embarrassingly lazy way to count calories

Alcohol Test Probe

May 8, 2023App, FoodJasun PierpointComment

Idea: A portable test probe to test alcohol at bars for alcohol percentage, accuracy of ingredients, hygiene, etc. Also: using the test probe for other things, such as to test people for STDs; bars might get rowdier if bartenders can no longer get away with watering down drinks; helping prevent people from accidentally drinking drinks which contain more alcohol than they expected; calculating how much of the drink you can consume and still be sober enough to drive in 3 hours
