ShinyBirdTeeth posted:rentable grandparents for when you feel blue or whatever I can't find it right now, but this is legit a service that used to exist in my state, it was basically the reverse of a lot of volunteer programs where people go into nursing homes to spend time with the residents, instead residents who didn't have kids or grandkids but wanted to "foster" younger people could volunteer their time it was mostly intended for younger kids who were fostered/adopted, and whose adoptive parents' parents weren't alive/in the picture, it all came out of some study about how the presence of elderly adults in the lives of foster kids improved their happiness and quality of living then they expanded the program out to kind of anybody who wanted a foster grandparent (prob with some sort of qualifying process) because so many elderly people volunteered

See, here's what I don't get. On an airplane, they tell you "in the event of an emergency, you can use your seat cushion as a floatation device". What other things can be used as OTHER things? What aren't they telling us? **looks around the room wild-eyed** what can I use my trashcan for, in an emergency or otherwise? **eyeballs the mundane, ordinary trash can and spills the contents all over the floor** There's gotta be an alternative use for all of this! **rummages through everything, looking for secret uses of stuff and just ends up making a giant mess out of things** |

What other things can be used as OTHER things? What aren't they telling us? officially, we must adhere to the party line: things cannot be used as other things unofficially, I have hidden warehouses that store millions of empty cd/dvd spindle cases. for they can be used as bagel holders, you see. "they"--honestly, "we"--do not want you to know this, but it is very much true. |

So books are great, right? But then i was like, they take a long time to read. So what if a book just read itself to you? Then i realized that was already a thing, how cool would it be if i had been the guy to think up audiobooks Now here we are in 2017 with all these books being made into hot new on demand tv shows. But those take time too! So what if we had an app that told you what happened in the hot new tv show last night, so you can sound cool and hip and "with it" when conversing with your work peers around the water cooler the next day. I mean itd basically just be a podcast that says "yo this guy died in this show last night, also life is rough for women in Handmade's Tale" but i swear we'll make millions somehow okay may i have some venture capital please *makes graspy hand motions*

GoPherMe, an app that alerts you to the presence of nearby ground-dwelling rodents (disclaimer: app functions correctly for groundhogs, but not woodchucks. The means by which it determines whether a given ground-dwelling rodent is a groundhog or a woodchuck is unknown at this time, but it turns out it's right, based on survey responses from the groundhogs)
