I always wondered why paper shredders only cut paper vertically. I've always wanted to invent a paper shredder that, as the paper is getting cut vertically, has another blade that runs back and forth and cuts it horizontally, making tiny squares instead of strips. Try taping that back together!

Had an idea for flavored crutches for joints OR flavored wood tips for blunts (removable etc) and was furious to find out that they already make these and apparently they dont work particularly well. I was sure it was going to be my ticket to getting some of that sweet, sweet, weed money (which would have been spent on buying lots more weed)

Once, while very high, I had this idea for a cartoon. Very slapsticky, very episodic, kind of in vain of Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner as in an endless chase that one always gets screwed over in. The idea is that there's this dude who's an rear end in a top hat. Nothing major, he doesn't kill or rape or anything, he's just a douche bag. He's obviously destined for hell but one day, he decides that some small child is in his way while he's crossing the street so he shoves the kid away. That shove ends up saving the kid and the dude is run over by a truck. Since he technically died saving the kid he's granted a free pass to heaven. God however hasn't forgotten how much of a dick this dude is so the whole series is him trying to kick the dude out of heaven and the douche foiling his attempts the whole time. The first episode would be simple. God just grants this dude his life back, and that starts a zombie plauge that god has to stop.

Instead of a stand at some beach town that sells just french fries with salt, vinegar, or whatever else, a little stand that sells baked, mashed, and sweet potatoes with a shitload of fixins. Imagine it: you're walking down the beach, you want something a little more filling than a snack, but aren't ready to head back for dinner or whatever, so you stop by the stand and get yourself a nice baked potato with sour cream, chives, cheese, bacon bits, old bay, whatever the hell you could imagine. In the mood for desert? Sweet potato with cinnamon and sugar, maybe some blueberry/cherry/apple/whatever pie filling, maybe some marshmallows, whipped cream. Hell, throw some ice cream on it. You get the nice, cool, refreshing ice cream with the hot, soft sweetness of a baked sweet potato.

Konstantin posted:A Forex slot machine. Basically a slot machine lookalike that puts the money into extremely short-term, heavily leveraged Forex transactions without further input from the investor. It's not gambling, it's investing, so it's legal everywhere, and it's not that different from what a lot of idiot Forex traders do. A programmer teamed up with a brokerage firm could put out a web-based prototype in a month, but it could make millions assuming it isn't shut down. I would play the gently caress out of this. Odds would be way better than a real slot machine, right?

BATTLESHAPES It's like the Battleship boardgame but with shapes instead of ships. Each player gets a couple of various shapes like triangles, squares, pentagons, etc. that they graph out on their side. Each player calls out x,y coordinates to hit the other players vertices. Mathfun! Also, Sushiritto. Think Chipotle style burrito but with sushi ingredients. You're welcome.

Captive BASE jumping. Similar a zip-line, but steeper, where the line & pulley is only meant to keep the passenger on-course; a parachute provides the braking. All the passenger has to do is jump.

Bear Week Cat Week (lions and tigers and stuff) Gator/Croc Week Hippo Week Primate Week I should have written these down when I thought of them but there's definitely enough to work with for one week a month. Get on it, Discovery.

Burrito Bites Burritos the size of pizza rolls. Eat em by the fistful! Also tiny fruit pies, about the size of a U.S. silver dollar coin, called Pirates. They could come in a little cardboard treasure chest and have a skull and crossbones printed on each tiny pie. I'm thinking the same style as the cheapo Hostess fruit pies only tiny.

about 15 years back I did a similar thing in Vegas. It was at the MGM hotel's little theme park. They have this huge arch type thingie over a lake, and they hoist you up on a control line, you pull the ripcord and drop. Because of the arch shape, you go swinging across the lake instead of straight down.

Behold! A Elk! posted:An intelligent spell check that understands the appropriate homonym based on context. I don't know weather or not anyone else here thinks it's a good idea. Microsoft Word already does this. It underlines red for total misspellings, green for punctuation or grammar errors, and blue for properly-spelled wrong words and capitalization. It's right with the blue about as often as it is with the other stuff. But at least it tries.

Many, many years ago when I was a kid, I came up with the idea of the Super Gameboy, almost exactly how Nintendo released it. I said it would be a thing you plug into you NES/SNES to let you play Gameboy games on the TV. The only part I didn't think up was the ability to add some color to the games. Dear Nintendo, I'll take my royalty check anytime. Feel free to deduct 15% off of it because of the color thing, TIA.

A city-wide valet service, for when you have to go to a strange city and you know where you need to be, but you have gently caress all idea where to park without getting towed/ticketed. Just call the service ahead of time and they'll have a man waiting there to take your car, then when you want it back you just send them a text and they bring it back. You know those inflatable slides that planes have for emergencies? I want a portable inflato-slide that clips onto a window so I can just fling all my boxes out the window when I'm moving out of an upper-floor apartment.

To prevent re-breathing carbon dioxide inside the tube, it would have incoming and outgoing tubes controlled by one-way valves. Definitely already a thing. I did this in Maui when I was 10, and it was around for 5 years before that. Looks like it was invented as a way to circumvent SCUBA certification requirements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuba Waterslide Industry Lobbyist has a new favorite as of 23:36 on Sep 24, 2013 |

They need to release an optional WiiU gamepad, one with a DS slot in it so you could play your old DS (or even 3DS games, seeing as the 2DS is a thing) on your TV. Call it the WiiDS or something.
