Idea: To replace all retail workers with UScans, RFID scanners, or other technology. Also discussed: using headphones in the grocery store, the small store "a**hole tax" for rude customers, break-dancing

Idea: An app to "peacock" your charitable acts/donations and other good deeds, to peer pressure other people into also doing good things. The app would display a peacock avatar on your social media which would be more or less flamboyant depending on how much good you do

Idea: A low budget sci-fi movie where bees are genetically modified to attack people and explode. The bees only attack people if they 1) talk, 2) walk, or 3) use tools i.e. use their hands to do stuff. So people have to find silly and weird ways to survive without doing these three things

Idea (NSFW): A golf course filled with nature that looks like human anatomy (cactuses that looks like dicks, trees with lumps that look like butts, sand dunes shaped like the female body, etc.). The caddies would use a bunch of silly adult golf puns ("if you hook your shaft you could get lost in the bush", "there's a ball washer available after you complete the back 9", etc.)

Idea: A sitcom about a mechanic, featuring all of the weird things about being a mechanic in a car dealership, such as people leaving weird things in their car (guns, soiled undies, drugs, etc.), people's dumb failed attempts to fix their own cars, and how it's somehow still allowed for them to display pictures of nude women in the workspace

Idea: A device (the "honky") that makes different car horn sounds to communicate different things, like "look out", "excuse me", "screw you", or "my bad". Also, maybe configurable text on the front/rear or your car that says "move over"

Idea: All roads/driveways/parking should be elevated, to allow animals to roam free, and for people to live in harmony with nature on the ground. Although it might ruin the fun of rollercoasters

Idea: A house where the entire floor of every room consists of stairs. It would be cleverly designed to eliminate the need for hallways and to utilize vertical space, i.e. the ceiling of the entire room (i.e. over the toilet, kitchen sink, bed, etc) doesn't need to be 8 foot high, and instead the rooms above can be lowered, possibly allowing 4 stories worth of rooms to be contained in the space of 3 stories. Some of the stairwells can contain drawers for storage or fold-out bleacher/theater seats, etc.

Idea: A dating site which integrates with other websites, so you can see a potential date's Netflix viewing history, song listening history, or political/news interests (if they chose to expose this information). This type of information is likely more accurate than typical dating site questionnaires

Idea: A social experiment or contest to see what's memorable. A bunch of contestants would each do something weird or interesting while meeting a famous person (such as President Obama) in public for a 5-10 second handshake or autograph. Then, years later, the famous person is put in a room with each of the contestants, to see which contestants were remembered by the famous person
