A while ago, user Noyemi K posted a great thread where goons were encouraged to post innovative improvements to existing products and services. These could be big ideas like a postal service that ships live animals, or little ideas like a pair of shoes with springs in the heels so you can bounce into girls' bedroom windows at night and watch them sleep.

Just try to keep them in the realm of plausibility. The example Noyemi gave as an invention that was too crazy was "a bicycle that could fly to the moon" which is obviously ludicrous.

The last thread produced a lot of world changing ideas so I expect big things from the braintrust here at GBS.


I'll start us off: a forums search tool that can search by title or content so I can link Noyemi K's old thread in this one.

Also by posting in this thread you cede all intellectual property rights to your inventions to Somethingawful Forums User Applewhite

A baseball cap, the front of which is a hidden panel that contains a telescoping arm.
At the end of the arm is a hand with the index finger raised so it can shoot out of the hat and cover someone's lips to shush them if you want them to stop talking.

A heavy wooden cabinet, stained dark and filled with thousands of intricately interlocking brass gears. In the center is a heavy crank, that when turned 50 times clockwise, activates the machine. As it springs to life, the cogs begin spinning and whirring in a clockwork waltz, the crank rapidly rotating 50 times counter-clockwise. At the end of this sequence, it will spit a card out of a slot on the front. The card will read "lol steampunk is gay".
