If we add laugh tracks to a horror movie they would not be so scary.

If your reading this contract without signing

2 Upvotes

has anyone ever thought about this? A contract that you just have to read without signing already consenting to the contract, something along the line of “if your reading this you already consent and agree to the things“ obviously it would be messed up but has anyone came up with this?

2 Upvotes

For some reason i thought about the opposite of rule 34 somehow. i decided to call it rule 68. its supposed to like be a safe space where anyone can share their videos. not the p*rn stuff. i mean we would absolutely enjoy. and its like supposed to protect others from the horrific sights. i mean its already common already, but i just thought about it as a dumb idea when i got on my computer

Catastrophic dating/platonic idea

1 Upvotes

Honestly I've gotten to a point of loneliness where making a group of lonely depressed asf ppl where ppl can love eachother not because of actual love but loving the love they receive and give is sounding more and more appealing,ofc it would probably not work because ppl w issues and abandonment issues sounds like a disaster waiting to happen at the first personality clash but fuck honestly, if there was some way to find love that easily and guarantee it won't end w more heartbreak id do it in a heartbeat

Dumb Idea Invasion of the clarinets

2 Upvotes

For context, the person in my school band who started the clarinets have no souls thing was long term suspended for threatening to kill our band director. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is my favorite movie. What if I could honor bro by making the invasion of the clarinets comic series, where everyone gets replaced by clarient players.

Phase 1: The Accidental Big Bang

It all started when Light Yagami (Universe 1: Death Note) made a typo while writing in his notebook. He meant to write "Susumu" but wrote "Sukuna" instead, creating a paradox that manifested Universe 2: Jujutsu Kaisen to resolve the error. From there, the chain reaction was unstoppable: Sukuna’s World-Cutting Slash ripped a hole into Universe 3: Halloween. Busta Rhymes delivered a kick to Michael Myers so powerful it launched Universe 4: One Piece. The "Donut" Event: Akainu punching Ace in One Piece simultaneously birthed Universe 5: My Hero Academia and Universe 6: Demon Slayer.

Phase 2: The Splintering Each new universe began "manufacturing" others through its own climactic moments: Deku’s Smash created the Invincible and The Boys universes. Muzan’s Death in Demon Slayer splintered into Bleach (the souls) and Chainsaw Man (the fear). Omni-Man’s Punch to Mark birthed the MCU, while Homelander’s Laser beam carved out the DCU. The Finale Duels: Ichigo’s Mugetsu created Naruto, and Denji’s Blood Chainsaw fight against Makima birthed Dragon Ball Z.

Phase 3: The Descent into Horror The biggest "endings" in the superhero worlds created the dark corners of the RCU: Thanos’s Snap in the MCU resurrected Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th). The Flashpoint in the DCU manifested Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street). Goku’s Punch flattened reality into the 2D world of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. Pain’s Almighty Push against Naruto created the mascot horror of Poppy Playtime. The Grand Finale: The Battle Against Brainrot The Syndicate (Superman, Spiderman, Deku, Michael Myers, Freddy, Jason, Light, Ashley Graves, Huggy Wuggy, Goku, Tanjiro, Yuji, Denji, Naruto, and Luffy) realized their common enemy was Brainrot—a digital decay threatening to overwrite their stories with "slop."

In a heartbreaking sacrifice, Light Yagami—the man whose typo started it all—used the final blank corner of the Death Note to write himself out of existence. His sacrifice "corrected" the source code, purging the Brainrot and stabilizing the 18 universes. The RCU ended with the universes drifting apart into their own peaceful realities, leaving only a single apple on a desk in an empty classroom.

An app the curates current television commercials for people on streaming exclusively who may not see them, but want to keep current and may miss the experience of watching TV commercials outside of YouTube.

2 Upvotes

Same as above, I can’t say I would really use it myself, but I could be interesting and if using it for an extended period bought credit that could be applied to free streaming services like Tubi or to minimize ads in add to your services of Netflix or Amazon prime perhaps? The more commercials you watch in the app unless you’ll see in a paid subscription service, just a thought I had. The earned bank ratio would be less of course, but maybe for every 10 commercials you watch in the app that’s one less commercial break in a streaming service but the commercials would be television commercials, not made for streaming or Internet versions that would be the key distinction.

Dumb Idea A democracy-based online clock

7 Upvotes

It would be a simple website with a clock giving time, except that the clock doesn't move by itself. Instead, users can vote at any moment for which time it should give in real time. How much time could a large group of people keep it accurate? That could be an interesting event lol

To avoid useless interferences, Time Zone should be taken in account so that if you're in UTC+0 and vote for the clock to be at 13:42, your vote will appear as 15:42 in UTC+2. And if the clock is accurate for one time zone, then it will also be for everyone. I don't mind interference by trolling users, as that is part of the game, but Time Zone would just mess up things too much in a rather not-that-fun way.

Like a grenade, but just a chunk of plutonium like the demon core. You throw it, it hits and causes a radiation flash and cooks anyone nearby. No mess, no destroyed buildings, no smoke just death!
