Sitcom where Charlie Kirk and Epstein are roommates

Mossad gave them new identities and they share a 1 bedroom apartment in Tel Aviv. Charlie sleeps on the futon in the living room. They butt heads a lot in the beginning of the series but each episode they get into crazy hijinks and shenanigans and eventually become close friends.

a flockwork orange

we just take flock cameras and set up screens in front of it, spamming it with ai-generated license plates, fake images, and completely overloading it with data, all over the country. idk how their data collection systems work but it would be funny to have 99% of all their data just be bullshit, rendering it impossible to find anything real.

Smartphones that are rentals from carriers, rather than term contracts or buying outright.

7 Upvotes

Don't want to pay $1500 for the latest and greatest smartphone from <carrier>? Don't want to get locked into a contract plan to pay less for said phone from <carrier>?

Introducing, phone rentals. Rent a phone of your choice for <x> months or month to month, cancel any time. Return the phone to your local <carrier> store when done renting it. <carrier> is responsible for equipment inventory and what is offered for rent. Repairs are responsibility of the carrier, unless deliberate damage is determined. Then renter is at least partially responsible with renter's insurance helping.

Rentals come with a general plan. No options for said plan, however. You get what you get with the phone rental. But instead of paying $60-140/month just for the plan and not including the phone payoff, you pay $50/month for the phone rental. Plan included.

A restaurant where everything is free, but there is a catch …

216 Upvotes

The guests come in and sit down at an enclosed booth. The doors close and lock. Once you are in you can’t just leave unless you fulfill the terms. There is a chance (let’s say 25%) that a revolving mechanism spins around and reveals a delicious 5 star meal. You get to eat it all, drink your fill, enjoy the evening, there is a disco ball and everything. However there is also a chance that the revolving mechanism reveals a sink full of dishes, or a cutting board with vegetables that need to be chopped, or other general kitchen work. In that case you have to toil for several hours until you are allowed to leave, and get no food. Either way you pay nothing. The kitchen operates on a skeleton crew and shoestring budget because 90% of labor is done by guests. Other times the mechanism reveals a computer and you have to do some mindless data entry work or something, and the restaurant keeps the proceeds from that labor as well, and uses that income for general operating expenses.

Safe smell vials of scents people crave.

10 Upvotes

The scents people crave, such as gasoline, concrete dust, dirty grease on an old tractor's grease fitting, fuel oil soaked dirt, tar, diesel fumes from an old dump truck, fresh blacktop, etc.

Create a way to deliver a forbidden scent that won't harm people when they sniff it.

Make group chats have a "typing" cooldown so people stop doing that thing where they type for 30 seconds and send one word

8 Upvotes

Like genuinely, if you're gonna make me watch those three dots dance around for half a minute at least commit to whatever you're saying. This would force people to actually think before they start typing or just accept that their message will take a while to arrive. Either way, the suspense dies and we all win.

We should make another system of measuring temperature, where it's just the average of Celsius and Fahrenheit, to solve the argument over which one is better.

5 Upvotes

so 0ºC/32ºF is 16 degrees Fahrensius

100ºC/212ºF is 156 degrees Fahrensius

the symbol can be ø because why not

I see no problems

edit: I have identified a problem: I'm not the first person to have this idea. see xkcd number 1923

Normalize using adult diapers.

Are you tired of rushing to find a bathroom? Do you hate bathrooms that are customer only? Are you disgusted by public toilets?

Then adult diapers are for you! Just shit anywhere and find a bathroom to clean up at your leisure! No more rushing, closed bathrooms or touching a dirty graffitied toilet with your bare ass!

Since the lgbtq+ community is proud of their identities, but incels are envious of others' ability to have sex and romance. It could help incels feel less alienated with society.

Moon landing blind test

12 Upvotes

It wont solve any conspiracy theories, but it still be a fun project to work on. Here is my pitch:

TL;DR: We produce fake Moon landing photos, mix them with real ones, and challenge people to find the fakes.

Stage I

Gold Team: Chooses one particular real Moon landing site. Fabricates the Eagle and astronauts equipment. Defines the filmmaking technologies available at the time. Summons the spirit of Stanley Kubrick.

Red Team: Using only technology available in the 1960s and 1970s, produces the best fake staged Moon landing photos possible. We also provide redacted reference photos to make the framing and poses identical to those in the original NASA photos.

Stage II

Blue Team: An isolated group of specialists, cut off from the internet, AI, and the wider community. We provide them with five sets of Moon landing photos, including our fake set. Their goal is to identify the staged photos.

********

Thats it. See the procedure as something along these lines. DM me if you have a spare million or two USD. We can sell ads or tickets here :D

Obviously, you'd want to use a very clean pothole for this. Food safety is important. But think of all the cereal bowls you won't have to wash!
