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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Rules for defining a "vacation", how travel isn't required for a vacation because (unlike migrating birds) location isn't one of our five senses, five ideas for new types of stay-at-home vacations (ranging from realistic to wildly futuristic)

Idea: An electronic device that digs into your ear like a parasite and broadcasts Matt's voice into your brain. Most people would prefer to READ people's minds, but Matt is a narcissist who wants the exact opposite. And he wants to do it to the entire world. The way to defeat him would be to broadcast his voice back to him with a slight delay like a "speech jammer"

Idea: An app with the supernatural, comic-book-like ability to punch telemarketers through the phone as revenge for annoying you. Since most of them are located overseas and outside the jurisdiction of US criminal courts, there probably wouldn't be any legal ramifications

Matt wants to "quantum leap" into movies and experience the events of the movie as one of the characters. He also accidentally re-imagines several other plot points of the book "Ready Player One", which he'd never read because he considers it too nerdy. Tom proposes a gruesome, "mad science" way to approximate this idea in the real world

Idea: A sci-fi device and Netflix-like video streaming service to allow you to watch video of the past, anywhere and any time throughout history. Although, maybe it should be limited to stuff that happened more than 200 years ago, so you don't need to live in Stepford-like tyrannical politeness because people could catch you lying and/or watching pornography
