Christoph posted: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. Samsung have had this capability on their Smart TV's for quite some time now (Since 2011 at the latest).

Where do you go? With concerns to the 'alive or mostly alive' issue by Mr. Woodchuck, I actually have have an idea regarding that, as well as how you're gonna store all these pets. You are aware of Sea-Monkeys™, and how they are sold in packages right? Thanks to my years of experience in the genetic engineering industry, I have come up with a way which pets, like cats and dogs, can be birthed from eggs similar to how Sea-Monkeys™ are formed. That way, you won't have to worry whether these pets might be alive or not, for you can just put them in a fish tank, and watch them grow! Not only that, but they are also easily storable, so you won't have to worry about how you're gonna store your animals in bulk.

I've asked a question at the small questions megathread a while back, but since it apparently doesn't exist, I guess I've unintentionally created a new business model. It's a store where you can pay an hourly fee to go bang around on a bunch of musical instruments you would never otherwise have the opportunity to even touch. Explore the entire range of a full on orchestra without needing to rent an instrument for a month or become a music teacher at a college. Bang on some timpanis, shred on a contrabass, or jam on a harp!

An app where you can "call it" before all of your friends. Hear a catchy new song from your favorite moderately obscure band, read a book that just blew your mind, or maybe you just caught the pilot of Fox's newest dramady and can't stop raving? Just log into the app and pick your type of media, then enter the appropriate information and hit "Call It", essentially recording the time and place you were when you destined that media for greatness, just make sure you do it before all you friends for the most street cred. It'd work on a follwer/follwing basis like most other attention whore apps, and seems like the perfect hipster accessory; i.e. digital proof that you "totally [were] listening to them before they got famous and sold out".

This, but replace "musical instruments" with "musicians" and assume that the posters who commented afterwards read it that way too.

There was a Hitman ARG like this years ago where you signed up online and the guy from the Hitman game would call your cell and give you 'missions'. It was pretty weird when I forgot that I signed up and got the first call one day while driving home from college

I could totally see this. You could calculate a score for each "call" based on how many other people call it after you and how quick your call was. A late or wrong (unpopular) call would make you lose points so you can't just go calling everything.

Here are my big ideas that aren't a joke. You're welcome. Squeeze bottle sour cream. Perfect for taco/nacho/baked potato creation. You know god damned well that that poo poo isn't sliding off your spoon to evenly distribute onto that taco NFL Combine for normal (fat) people. I would gladly pay $20 to go to my local YMCA and do the various NFL combine drill things for an afternoon. I'd like to know my 40 time and vertical leap specifically. Maybe even set up a mock-draft/ranking system or something. Just a fun thing for moderately out of shape fotoball fans to do. This one probably exists - a feature for VNC or the like that allows users to click a button to put themselves in a "I need help" queue. That way I don't need to track down their god drat computer name through active directory or browsing the network computers (or both). To make it extra fancy it could integrate with your voip system to auto-dial their extension when you "pick up" their help request. I don't often do helpdesk stuff, but when I do I'm really pissed that it takes the longest just to track down their loving computer name.

You guys ever seen those hoodies with the hood cords that double as earbuds? Imagine if those cords were hollow and ran down into the hoodie pouch. In the pouch they connect to an electronic vaporizer. So you got your hand in your pouch. You turn on your vaporizer. Stick the cord in your mouth and you're discretely smoking weed.
