Bondage Gear For Coronavirus Prevention

Silliness, NSFWScott GaughanComment

Idea: To use leather bondage masks for Coronavirus prevention, because leather masks with shiny silver zippers are stronger (and therefore better) than paper masks and cloth masks. Also: whips to encourage social distancing, "breath play", questioning whether Canadians are too polite for BDSM

Tsunami Machine

Evil, InventionTom WalmaComment

Idea: Scientists predict that a landslide on a tiny island off the coast of Africa could create a mega-tsunami across the entire East Coast of the US. Since such a small thing (a landslide on a tiny island) can create a tsunami, it should also be possible to design a giant machine to create a tsunami. Also: maybe a tsunami machine could create a tsunami to cancel out another tsunami

Slamchat

App, Silliness, TechErich LauxComment

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound

Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, PTSD, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake

Fantasy Sci-Fi Audio Stories

SciFi, BookLoyd DiggComment

Idea: To write and record fantasy/sci-fi audio stories, and release them either as audiobooks or a podcast. Also: standup comedy, how the "Dungeons & Dragons" game works and how being a "dungeon master" is great training for being a fantasy/sci-fi author,

Legalized Prostitution

Politics and Social Issue, NSFWKhurum SheikhComment

Idea: To legalize prostitution (as recommended by a retired police officer). Also: legalizing it for "medicinal purposes", a possible Christian-right feminist reaction, 30 minute marriages, sex robots, hypocrisy and repressed sexuality in Pakistan vs. the US

Restaurant Touchscreen Tables

Tech, Food, FuturisticChris LazarComment

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul

Uncooked Chicken Diet

Evil, Health, Silliness, FoodDan TurcoComment

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. 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. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight

Gender Equal Baseball

Politics and Social Issue, SportsTom WalmaComment

Idea: A professional baseball league where both men and women are equally represented on each team, and cheerleading counts towards the score of the game. Also: which other sports can women successfully compete against men, T-shirt cannons and mascot races between innings, barnstorming, Slamball and other failed sports leagues

"Not Again" Comedic Zombie Movie

MovieTom WalmaComment

Idea: A comedic zombie movie where the dead come back to life, in the order of the most recently dead (or most well preserved) first. The zombies act exactly like normal people (i.e. they don't eat brains), but they hold their old prejudices (racism, Puritanism, etc.), poor hygiene habits, etc. In the end, people slay hoards of zombies just because they're so annoying

Tech Rant

TechCory B.Comment

A rant about poorly designed and/or pointless technology, such as voice recognition and smart homes. Also: smart light switches which fail to turn off the light, the smartest people in our society are working on dumb tech instead of important life-saving tech, an anecdote about a strobe light at a poker game

Reverse Pacemaker

Health, Invention, TechTom WalmaComment

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)

Daily Affirmation Mirror

Tech, SillinessSteve HansenComment

Idea: A daily affirmation mirror, which, when you look at yourself, makes you feel better about your disappointing appearance by saying "it's not your fault" (because hearing someone else say it is more convincing than just saying it to yourself). Also discussed: hacking the mirror to play mind games on a spouse, massage devices as "plausible deniability adult toys"

Brain Altering Helmet TV Show

TV Show, Tech, Futuristic, EvilTom WalmaComment

Idea: A TV show where people wear a brain altering helmet (as covered on the Radiolab episode "Nine-Volt Nirvana") which can temporarily induce terror, relaxation, enhanced learning ability, disabled morality, etc. Then, they'd be put in a scenario, such as putting someone in a haunted house and modifying their brain to induce terror, or testing a religious person by putting them in a stressful situation and shutting off their sense of morality, just to see what will happen
