Kitchen knives with no sharp edge. When you accidently slip it won't cut you.

Car-uncleaner, you can drive your clean suburban rear end Wrangler or Jambo through it and get it all dirtied so people will look at you and go Woha, that dude really plays for real!

Static elecricityfier for pets. Charge them up so when they shed hair it will stick right back to them.

Snooze button for your watch. You can be like Oh man I don't want to go to this important boring meeting just yet, and then you hit snooze and it sets your watch back 8 minutes.

You're probably right, but it was on NBC so it probably sucked and therefore no one watched it. It should be on cable :colbert:

As a lazy college student, one of the biggest problems I face is that I'm too lazy to go out and obtain food most of the time so I usually just eat at the dining hall next to my dorm. So today I wanted Taco Bell but didn't want to get in my car and drive all the way over there, and I had an awesome idea:

A business that goes out and buys food from places that don't deliver and delivers it to you. Like they would go and buy me some tacos and then bring them to me and I would pay the cost of the tacos plus a delivery fee. It would probably only work in college towns though but I still think it's genius.

Open/vacant signs for university classrooms, just like what's on a bathroom door. There's probably a lot of room for abuse/whatever, but in a perfect world it would stop people from disturbing a class that's like 5 minutes from getting out.

I work in the maintenance department of a college, and just today I barged in on a full classroom because according to the schedule it should have been empty, and there was no way to visually check before opening the door and looking like a dumbass. I support this idea whole-heartedly.

Lots of spy shows on right now. Lots of apocalypse shows, too. I want to see Michael Weston in some kind of Walking Dead scenario. There have to be spies left too, right? I want to see someone make good use of all those abandoned weapons, oil drums, electronics, etc. Hell, just put a spy on The Walking Dead. I don't give a gently caress. Somebody just do this.

I want some sort of brainwave monitor that tells me when I'm spacing out driving and just screams or something.

God I would buy the gently caress out of this and I don't even know why. Probably to chase children or leave for my husband to find one day when I'm not home. Hell, it could even be a sex thing.

Most decently large cities have this, as well as lots of college towns.

I live in a city of under 70k, and we have one or two of these services.

Ok, horses are great. They're majestic and beautiful, you can ride them all over the place, you can brush their hair and feed them a carrot and tell them "You're a good horse. Yes, you are!" Unfortunately, all this is outweighed by one horrible negative: They poo poo everywhere for no good reason, constantly and voluminously.

Two words: Horse diapers. Original idea, do not steal.

We could breed horses that poo less. If we refined the breed far enough, we might even be able to circumvent horse diapers altogether--we could really give the industry a real what-for! Maybe, every few months, the horses would simply pass a small, obsidian-like substance comprised of months' worth of food. And then we could inject ourselves with horse DNA and eliminate the need for public bathrooms.

My diving invention: a snorkel that is 50 feet long. It would have a thing that floats on a surface and then tubes going down so you could breathe underwater. To prevent re-breathing carbon dioxide inside the tube, it would have incoming and outgoing tubes controlled by one-way valves.

Hot spot dog so you can take your dog for a walk and have free wi-fi as well. You could even name him spot and say he's a hot dog.

Also dog cigarettes so your dog can smoke with you and be cool and hot at the same time.

It wouldn't work very well at all.

To test this, just try to breathe through a short length of hose (like, 10-12') while at the bottom of a pool.

You'll blow a lung out.

There's a reason that back in the early days of diving, they had to have bellows/pumps to supply the diver with air.
