Reality TV at its finest: Celebrity D&D. Every week, Hollywood's biggest stars* gather in the luxurious, finely-appointed Basement to roll some dice and eat some nachos. Meanwhile, their adventures are LARPed by buttery Internet Celebrities hitting each other with swords. Every season would begin a new campaign in a new system. Either Steve "Malak" Sumner or Umbilical "Hot Chick in Real Life" Lotus would DM because IT'S MY IDEA DO NOT STEAL. *whoever needs money and probably Nicolas Cage

Some kind of sapient door-to-door sex robot. It sells itself! Y'know, I joke but this could actually work. Just slap some tits and lipstick on a Kirby vacuum, install some of that sweetass predator drone technology and have a remote operator. You'd be limited to head and handies, but I think people would really go for it. Quiet Feet has a new favorite as of 14:01 on Feb 28, 2013 |

Some kind of sapient rear end-to-mouth sex robot. It would resemble a dildo enclosed in a spiral rubber spring. You would carefully insert it into your anus, and it would then start rotating the spring to gently snake its way through your alimentary system. The stomach would be the tricky part, and is why the robot would need to be sentient - it probably requires some kind of retractable limbs so it can get from the stomach's exit to the stomach's entrance. I think some sort of adaptation of the Big Dog technology could help it out at this stage. Once it completes its journey it will exit through the mouth, ready for recharging and reuse.

Live action Gunnerkreigg Court directed by Joss Whedon. Also microwaves with rotating plates and automatic mixers. I'm tired of having to microwave thing 3 times and stir it to make sure everything is heated evenly.

A corner trash can that non-rich people can afford. Seriously, google "corner trash can". It's just a wedge-shaped trash can that fits nicely into the corner of a room but the cheapest ones are like 80 bucks! It is a trash receptacle, it should not cost a small fortune. I want to bring corner trash cans to every home. I want to make $15 plastic corner trash cans. Also my roommate wants to make a mini desktop sized wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. I have tried to convince her that it could never work but she won't hear it.

HoboZero posted:An app for backpackers/backcountry campers that allows you to pre-set a general rough route for a trip, overlay snapshots of your exact coordinates on a route/timeline, and automatically email an iterative trip/location log to your extremely nervous spouse at predetermined intervals without you having to touch anything. This exists, almost exactly as described. http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.php?cid=101 edit: Oh, you want an app. That's a bit harder on a modern cell phone as the GPS and data service is separate and while you may be able to pull your location, you wont be able to update anyone.

A pillow with some kind of solid core, surrounded by the usual pillow fluff. The idea is that the core keeps the pillow from ever going flat, plus it can be shaped to fit particular uses (i.e., between the knees, between the shoulder and head for side sleepers). A website that lets me set up an account with what I want to see in baseball/football/whatever games. Then it would tell me if any games that I would want to see were played that week, without actually telling me who won or what the score was.

This gave me a great idea: A website that lists the minimum, maximum and average sentences for non-violent crimes per state (including options for first, second, etc. offenders) and cross references that with the average treatment and recuperation time for common medical procedures. Maybe even supply expert witnesses so that you can make sure your crime is just bad enough without being too bad. Got the idea from this article about a man whose only option to get a life-saving procedure was to get arrested again.

I want to operate my television with my phone. There's no universe where I would actually buy one of those things that reminds me where my remotes are (I think those exist? I know they do for keys), but I can just tell someone to call my phone. Then I can use it to turn on my TV AND change channels. Maybe Netflix or that stuff, too, who knows. Plus I could change the channel from 2000 miles away to gently caress with my roommates.

are you ready to have your minds blown because I have constructed the greatest business model. Basically whenever you get really hungry or you just like, need a snack, maybe a little something in particular to really hit the spot; lets say you just want a Snickers. A single Snick, no more. Is it really worth getting off your fat goony rear end to go purchase one yourself? It's just a singular Snick after all so why bother. Well what if there was a social network you could log onto where people had listed themselves as micro-couriers - individuals who live in your area will list their active zone and their going rate for simple poo poo like picking up a chocolate bar and delivering it to your door. Kids or students or whoever has the time for it are able to make a quick buck doing simple poo poo and are in complete control of how far they're willing to travel. There could probably even be potential for people to undercut pizza delivery prices and pick your pizzas up for you on a bicycle or something, idk.

Hexagonal Pizzas so I can use the corners to make each slice the same size. E-Ink protest signs no longer will millions of trees needlessly die to supply the protesters of the world with one-off protest signs. I guess a dry-erase board could work but e-ink could do animation. Cat-sized hamster tube things with smaller hamster tubes inside, exercise both the hamsters and the cats at the same time, potential for feeding the cat too. Hand crank microwave, when I want a loving hot pocket but the power is out cause I live in the sticks. organic nanites that can be injected into the lining of the large intestine that eat poop, I don't like pooping.

I had an idea for condoms that would selectively allow sperm cells through based on the presence or absence of certain genetic markers. Basically GATTACA without the messy business of doing a bunch of in-vitro fertilization and then implanting the desired embryo. You could buy different types of condoms based on what sort of child you wanted to have. "Rock Star" condoms, "Olympian" condoms, "Genius" condoms, etc.

A tiny, waterproof RC crawler vehicle that you can drive around inside your fishtank from your couch. Have a little solar panel under the UV light connected to a small underwater docking station that you could return the vehicle to so you never have to take it out of the water to recharge it; you can just drive it 'home' when you're done.

Take the idea of ad-supported products and services seen frequently in computing related business models and bring it to tangible real life products. Free pizza with a pizza box covered in ads, for example. Can you imagine how much free pizza a place could send out in a college town? That's a lot of exposure. I could also see ad supported clothing being a thing.
