Idea: A spray that masks the smell of farts. Or maybe a pill containing electronics which detect whether smell-cancelling chemicals need to be released while it passes through your body. Also: fart-filtering underwear, the professional fart performer (flatulist) at the Moulin Rouge

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 (NSFW): An atheist holiday named "Hole-y Day" where you put a hole in your yard, such as a giant tire, to signify both the vast emptiness of the universe and your desire to participate in a Holey Day free love session with someone you've never been with. Also involves throwing things into holes, monkeys, and a symbolic deity who wears yoga pants

It's weird that the Ouija Board, an occult/spiritualist séance communication device, was marketed to kids by a major corporation (Hasbro) as a toy. Idea: why not also sell other witchcraft/satanist/voodoo items to kids as a kit? The kit could include items such as voodoo dolls, a pentagram on a Twister-like sheet, fake blood, about 40 fake candles, etc. Technology could also be used, such as wearable devices to shock you when someone pokes the voodoo doll, or a GPS tracker that alerts someone when you're using the kit, so they can come scare you

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 (fictional, satirical) website for connecting terminally ill people who wish to die with serial killers who wish to kill them. The goal would be to solve the problems of unwanted end-of-life suffering, and of healthy people being killed. It would be similar to an online dating website, and would help people find a compatible match based on criteria such as the method of execution, location of execution, physical attractiveness, political party, etc. Also, it would also be a great way to reduce health care costs, and the terminally ill could serve as "test dummies" for new medical devices/procedures which aren't perfected enough to permanently cure them, but could give them a short-term boost in health, in order to make them a more challenging (and therefore satisfying) kill

Idea: A random sports fan watching a live game in their house is contacted via webcam or smart TV, and given the task of being the referee and making a call in the game. This'll make watching the game exciting because people get a chance to affect the game, but it might destroy your Nana's life if Nana makes a bad call and angers everyone in the community

Idea: A book detailing the author's conversations with God, where the author plays the character of a naive simpleton, and God gives him simple advise on life and how the world works. It'll have an irreverent and humorous bent, despite the misleading title, so people dying of cancer will buy the book seeking emotional comfort and instead find dick jokes

Tom's obsession with "black balls" (author Nick Bostrom's metaphor for future technologies that could end humanity) gives him the idea for tiny houses which are built to withstand apocalyptic disasters, such as virus outbreaks or nuclear/meteor firestorms. Since they're mobile, you can drive them into apocalypse testing facilities, such as a "car wash that uses fire instead of water", to make sure they actually work

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: A repellent spray to keep neighborhood cats out of your yard, so that they don't defecate in your flower pots. Environmentally-friendly alternative solutions are also discussed, such as dogs, and helping the "cat ladies" get dates so they don't try to fill the gaping holes in their souls with cats

A bunch of ideas to make beds better, such as
* Side-walls to lean against to support your midsection so you don't have to stuff a pillow in front of your stomach to hold in your gut fat
* Split-bed tents which mimic the gradual light and temperature reduction of night-time and hold in the sounds of snoring and smells of night-time flatulence so you don't annoy your spouse
* A mini under-bed panic area with a bulletproof mattress and sniper holes to shoot at the intruder's feet
* Etc.

Idea: An app to hire a stand-in if you don't want to go to a funeral, but you feel socially obligated to attend. They could sign your name in the funeral guest book, pretend to be you (except when talking to the handful of other people at the funeral who know you), listen to and/or record other people's conversations to give you info to use in future social situations, etc.

Idea: An app to fat-shame you, or shame you in some other way, to motivate you to lose weight or improve yourself. It could also provide motivational/instructional advice, such as "Today's diet plan: don't eat". It could be location-aware and insult you if you walk into a fast food restaurant. You could anonymously hire childhood bullies, family members, or celebrities to send audio of customized insults to incorporate into the app

Idea: An app which generates a computer-generated cover of any song which sounds like it was performed by the band Weezer. Because flooding the world with Weezer covers would make the whole world happy and possibly even lead to world peace, like a real-life version of the future from the movie "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"

Idea: "Augmented reality" glasses that make dogs look like cats, or vice versa. Also maybe headphones, so the person who sees the cat as a dog can say a dog's name, and other people (and the cat) hear them say the cat's name. This technology would also allow everyone to live a lie, causing other people to see and hear them in a way that isn't real

Idea: A competition-based reality show, like Survivor, where each team member is addicted to a different recreational drug. The teams compete in both physical and mental events, and the drug addition may help or hinder their performance in the event, possibly in hilarious ways. The members of the winning team are rewarded either with a large supply of their drug, or rehab (their choice)
