Some kind of sapient door-to-door sex robot. It sells itself! :v:

Y'know, I joke but this could actually work. Just slap some tits and lipstick on a Kirby vacuum, install some of that sweetass predator drone technology and have a remote operator. You'd be limited to head and handies, but I think people would really go for it.

Some kind of sapient rear end-to-mouth sex robot. It would resemble a dildo enclosed in a spiral rubber spring. You would carefully insert it into your anus, and it would then start rotating the spring to gently snake its way through your alimentary system. The stomach would be the tricky part, and is why the robot would need to be sentient - it probably requires some kind of retractable limbs so it can get from the stomach's exit to the stomach's entrance. I think some sort of adaptation of the Big Dog technology could help it out at this stage. Once it completes its journey it will exit through the mouth, ready for recharging and reuse.

A corner trash can that non-rich people can afford. Seriously, google "corner trash can". It's just a wedge-shaped trash can that fits nicely into the corner of a room but the cheapest ones are like 80 bucks! It is a trash receptacle, it should not cost a small fortune. I want to bring corner trash cans to every home. I want to make $15 plastic corner trash cans.

Also my roommate wants to make a mini desktop sized wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man. I have tried to convince her that it could never work but she won't hear it.

This exists, almost exactly as described.

Man, I would LOVE having that on a travel mug. Some of the heavier thermos type ones make it kind of hard to tell how much is left because of the weight of the cup and the space between the bottom of the mug and the beverage. Nothing worse than unexpectedly running out of coffee.

This gave me a great idea: A website that lists the minimum, maximum and average sentences for non-violent crimes per state (including options for first, second, etc. offenders) and cross references that with the average treatment and recuperation time for common medical procedures. Maybe even supply expert witnesses so that you can make sure your crime is just bad enough without being too bad.

Got the idea from this article about a man whose only option to get a life-saving procedure was to get arrested again.

are you ready to have your minds blown because I have constructed the greatest business model. Basically whenever you get really hungry or you just like, need a snack, maybe a little something in particular to really hit the spot; lets say you just want a Snickers. A single Snick, no more. Is it really worth getting off your fat goony rear end to go purchase one yourself? It's just a singular Snick after all so why bother. Well what if there was a social network you could log onto where people had listed themselves as micro-couriers - individuals who live in your area will list their active zone and their going rate for simple poo poo like picking up a chocolate bar and delivering it to your door. Kids or students or whoever has the time for it are able to make a quick buck doing simple poo poo and are in complete control of how far they're willing to travel. There could probably even be potential for people to undercut pizza delivery prices and pick your pizzas up for you on a bicycle or something, idk.

I had an idea for condoms that would selectively allow sperm cells through based on the presence or absence of certain genetic markers. Basically GATTACA without the messy business of doing a bunch of in-vitro fertilization and then implanting the desired embryo.

You could buy different types of condoms based on what sort of child you wanted to have. "Rock Star" condoms, "Olympian" condoms, "Genius" condoms, etc.

Take the idea of ad-supported products and services seen frequently in computing related business models and bring it to tangible real life products. Free pizza with a pizza box covered in ads, for example. Can you imagine how much free pizza a place could send out in a college town? That's a lot of exposure. I could also see ad supported clothing being a thing.

This is already done, but Ford patented it. The wires are very fine so you cant see them unless you look really closely at the glass. It's pretty cool actually.
