1) clueless millennial/hipsters struggle with problem easily solved with common item
2) make slick video and launch Kickstarter
3) Profit

I feel like this could work for lots of the posts here.

- I made a boat out of foam

- I put a hole at one end to hold a bucket (because my wife does not like to pee in the woods, but apparently is OK with using a bucket)

- I need money to put a motor and fishing rod holders on my boat

- You can make a write-in pledge and get no reward -or-

- For $2,000, I will send a video of my finished boat floating around in water

The timeline image on the kickstarter shows that it will take almost 4 years from having an idea for tape to sending tape to people. 4 years, to get to sell tape. These guys are not captains of industry.

That's part of 4chan's troll science meme, or at least inspired by it. The entire point was deliberately misunderstanding science to do poo poo like perpetual motion via two magnets or a fan blowing into a sail.

My favorite is the one where you put two doors across from each other, then invite a vampire into both houses, then uninvite him from both, and harvest the energy of the vampire being repelled out of one door into the other, being repelled from that, etc.

Nah, just endangered. They're basically confined to an area in eastern Europe, but I think their population numbers are starting to recover.

e: The popularity of things like Twilight and True Blood put some renewed interest into conservation efforts, I think.

I was skeptical but then once the potted plant images loaded I knew they must be trustworthy. They sell hair growth pills and boner pills? I think that's what they do. Their website is weird. It's going for hip but I'm just looking at it going "what is this?"

Goop for Dudes sounds like some sort of all-purpose cream you'd find in some hipster shaving supply store. So start from there.

We only need 20,000 people to donate $100 each to raise $2,000,000! Then we can build the prototype of our machine that violates several engineering principles.

Oh. and our reward levels? They are all basically the same thing: a .jpg and a digital certificate! Except for the highest reward, which is a .jpg, a certificate, and inclusion on our email list!

You can help make the project I have been working on for 15 years a reality!*
