A white noise machine in public bathrooms that covers up the sound of deuce-dropping, for the publicly-shy. Also, would eliminate the need to knock.

I get ideas sometimes, one was for an amusement park for dogs, but searching the internet this was already thought on by someone else. Thinking about it, it would probably be a bad idea (cramming a bunch of pack animals together, dog poop everywhere.

Another idea was for a toilet with a self-closing lid, but again this already exists. So I guess my million dollar idea is to put nanotech clothing on the inside of the toilet bowl so that feces don't stick, eliminating the need for a toilet brush.

I've heard of Japanese public toilets that play music to cover the sounds of people doing their business.

Instead of white noise, the persistent sounds of strained bowel movements.

If the popcorn fork is a thing why isn't there something similar for Pringles? Maybe like a retractable spatula that you slide down the side of the can and then it extends a little ledge that captures the chips so you can pull it up out of the tube without wedging your hamhands in or risking a bunch of crumbs.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
I've had a few ideas over the years that I wish I did something with, but it's too late now.

I thought of Redbox movie rentals...in 2002. I swear one of the many customers and coworkers I had at Hollywood Video stole my idea.

Right around the time that flat televisions were a new thing, but tube TVs were still common, it occurred to me that you could make a computer monitor shaped like a tube tv, with a flat screen facing upwards, and a slanted two way mirror positioned to make the screen look normal (like they would do for a few of the 4+ player games in arcades back in the day) and stick your webcam built in behind the mirror, so that when you did a video-call, you could look straight at each other, instead of usually looking off to the side or top or bottom.


Also RE: Prescription windshields, I remember a couple decades ago reading a strip of "The Born Loser" in the paper where the main character's boss (who's supposed to be quite wealthy) had done that.

I am your best friend's wife's sword student's current roommate.
If I had the money to burn I would open a place that was a combination singles bar and laundromat. I never really thought of a good name for it, but it seems like it'd be amazing near a college campus or something. Have theme nights around kinds of laundry or some bullshit. I have no idea, I just thought it'd be way more fun to have a beer and chat or watch something while waiting for my clothes to dry than staring blankly at the wall. It also never occurred to me to bring a book to the laundromat but hey, there you go.

I guess you could call it "Suds" or something.

See-through toaster so you know when it's cooked to perfection.

Actually heaps of appliances would be sweet see-through. I have seen see-through dish washers at appliance stores, but I asked about them and they're only demo ones.

Some sort of safe (possibly magical?) combustible substance that you could put at the end of cigarettes so you never need a lighter. Like, just a wee cap at the end and when you took a puff the cap ignited.

There used to be a toaster called a "Toast-O-Lator" with a little window so you could watch the toast on its conveyor belt, but they stopped making them in the '50s. A friend of my Mom had one when I was a kid, and I've wanted one ever since.

There used to be one of these in Melbourne ( :australia: ) about a decade ago where you could go and have a drink while you did your laundry. I'm sure it's a concept that pops up every few years before fading away again.

Yeah, in my town ther's also a laundromat/bar thing. They even have brunches on sundays, so you can eat there while your clothes are being washed.
We also have a barber shop that's also a bar. Been wanting to check that out for a while now, but I keep going to the barber shop that's a lot closer to my home :effort:

A friend of mine thought of square bagels years ago and was crushed when he found out they already existed. His name was way better though: Squagels.

My idea is a Shazam-style app, but for images. You hold your phone up to a person's face on a commercial/TV show/movie and it tells you who the actor is. Faster than searching IMDB and it ends that agonizing "I KNOW WHO THAY GUY IS WHAT IS HIS NAME" thing while watching TV.

They have something similar to this already. it is like Shazam but for movies and TV shows. You hold your phone up to the screen and it finds out what movie it is for you.

Here's my idea:

Set up a webcam and some kind of sentry turret in some kind of enclosure with wild and exotic creatures in it.
People can view the feed for free, however, when something walks in view of the setup, people can press a big red button on their browser to purchase control of the turret for a short period of time (perhaps also charge by the bullet). Then people pay for the shipping to have their quarry delivered to their door.

Perhaps you could just set it up in a convincing-looking empty field, and occasionally move a zebra-stripe painted barrel around in the distance so you can bleed bored executives of their disposable income, and just simply say "Oh so sorry, I guess you missed. Better luck next time."

So yeah, RC safari.

A farm where all the animals are given real nice homes, then when they die of old age they're processed for their meat. Then people who don't want to hurt animals can eat guilt-free beef! And since nobody's actually *killing* the animals, the farm could provide rare and exotic meats, like gorilla and bald eagle. :911:

Basically, a zoo where you can just eat the animals as they die.
