Idea: A gym where people exercise by slamming each other around in a mosh pit. It's like Crossfit, only instead of throwing around a truck tire, you're throwing around an a**hole in a Guns 'N Roses T-shirt (which is about the same workout)

Idea (NSFW): An alarm to shake your bed or shock you to wake you up. It could also defibrillate you, scare you during horror movies, and pleasure you. But don't use it if you're pregnant (wink wink). Also: it would hurt coffee sales; gradually shaking you more intensely until you wake up; hacking it to strengthen the shock

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

Idea: A service to help you get rid of an unhealthy or unwanted fandom. In other words, make you hate what you don't want to love anymore. Also: The service is not reversible, but it can make you dislike everything else more, so you're more depressed overall, but you feel like the fandom has returned; using your rabid fandom to annoy less rabid fans out of their fandom and then collecting their fan memorabilia in victory; inducing food allergies to discourage unhealthy eating

Idea: A bed that counts and analyzes your farts for health purposes. Also: comparing your fart count to the foods you ate to figure out which foods cause you to fart; taffy-induced stomach gurgling masking the sounds of a potential burglary; keeping drugs on hand so if you accidentally shart in your girlfriend's bed you can lie and say that you muled the drugs so you can party

Idea: Yoga ropes that you control with your mind so you can stretch your body without using your muscles to push your bones around (because using muscle ruins the relaxation of stretching and yawning). Also: enabling stretches which aren't possible using muscles; accidentally getting stuck in a Jigsaw trap from the Saw movies; using a combination of a mind-controlled hammock or bed and a mind-controlled toilet so you don't have to get up to use the bathroom

Idea: To shoot overweight people into space so that they can't cheat on their diet, and therefore scientists can gather better diet data. Also: in the movie "Gravity", Sandra Bullock is risking her life jumping from spaceship to spaceship to avoid space debris. In this case, people would be risking their lives jumping from spaceship to spaceship...for a candy bar; overweight people in space could accidentally serve as appetizers for aliens who might develop a taste for human meat

Idea: A service for ordering and purchasing healthy fresh foods in convenience stores and gas stations where there are no nearby grocery stores (i.e. in "food deserts"). Customers pre-ordering via a phone app, intelligent predictive demand algorithms, and order sniping would allow this to be financially plausible. Also: solving a major world problem as a form of revenge to steal the glory from another person trying to solve the same problem

Idea: To use ancient/low-tech building techniques and (well-paid) manual labor to build a giant pyramid in Detroit out of the waste material of torn down buildings. Also: Flint Stonehenge, watching people move the 10+ ton blocks is more entertaining than viewing a completed pyramid, building a pyramid for exercise

Also: could be used for playing VR videogames, could replace strip clubs and sleazy hookup hotels, could incorporate health food delivery and personal trainers (or polar bears), flipping off delivery vehicles of unhealthy foods (i.e. pizza)

It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price.

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)

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

Maybe also give kids/teenagers who are likely to become obese drugs to stunt their growth, so that later when they start to become obese, they can be given higher doses of HGH to fight harder against obesity.

Ten (mostly dumb) ideas to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, including smelling bad on purpose to encourage social distancing, four ways to block particles being sneezed out or coughed up from spreading, two gadgets that prevent you from touching your face, an app which uses augmented reality glasses to highlight possibly-infected people to help you avoid them, "no-touch" bathrooms where you never have to touch anything (and risk getting Coronavirus on your hands) until you're finished and ready to wash your hands, and a few thoughts about reducing/preventing the spread of Coronavirus in restaurants

Idea: An electric car charging station consisting of dozens of 2-stall garages, where each car is charged indoors in privacy in it's own 2-stall garage. The car being charged is in one side of a garage, and "something to do" for around 40 minutes is in the other side of the garage. Examples of "stuff to do" include private movie theaters, barbers, dentists, Redbox movie rental machines, restaurant tables, hot tubs, etc. The "things to do" could be wheeled in on demand and ordered using a phone app. These 2-stall garage facilities could basically replace entire cities, and could slow down the transmission of the Coronavirus because they reduce or eliminate person-to-person contact, and they can be modified to implement virus protection measures more easily than normal stores/businesses (for example, an airproof plastic sheet could be placed between the customer's side of the garage and the business/service side of the garage). They could also help small businesses financially survive the Coronavirus because these businesses would no longer need a storefront or fixed location building which would require them to pay rent every month. Also, they could be a place for you to watch a sad movie where other people can't see you cry
