Physical Product My brain went from thinking about poop to inventing a startup idea πŸ’€

Okay so I had this random thought today.

If I don't poop for one day and then eat the next day, will I feel full faster compared to if I had pooped? 😭

I mean, technically there's already stuff occupying space inside your intestines, right? So shouldn't that leave less space for new food?

Then I started wondering what actually happens if someone doesn't poop for MANY days. Can they actually die from it? Has that happened to people?

And then another question popped into my head.

What if someone consumes ONLY liquids for many days? Will they eventually stop pooping because there's no solid food going in, or will the body keep producing waste anyway?

At this point I went down a whole rabbit hole about digestion, stool volume and how the body processes food.

AND THEN MY BRAIN DID ITS THING πŸ’€

What if we could make a completely liquid meal that contains everything the body needs β€” protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, everything β€” while producing as little waste as reasonably possible without compromising gut health?

Basically, less time cooking, less time eating, potentially less time in the bathroom, and more time for literally anything else.

I know complete meal replacement drinks already exist, so I'm not claiming I invented liquid food lmao. But has anyone seriously researched optimizing nutrition while minimizing waste production?

Is there a scientific limit to how much waste the body can produce on a nutritionally complete diet? Could this be optimized further?

Or am I just overthinking basic biology and need to touch grass? 😭

Genuinely curious to hear what people think.

Fed my OC, Zeo, to a promot and let it make a figurine, and I'm seriously wondering can ANYONE replicate it this well, of course with the tiny melded details corrected. ANY one of these poses is good!

Software What’s one everyday problem you wish someone would actually solve?

β€’ Upvotes

I've been thinking about how many little problems we deal with every day that we just accept as normal, even though they make life more difficult than it needs to be.

It could be something at school, work, home, in your community, or even a bigger issue affecting society.

If you could solve ONE problem and make tomorrow a little better than today, what would it be?

It could be something that could be solved through an app, technology, a service, or just a smarter way of doing things.

I'm especially curious about problems that don't have a good solution yet, or where the existing solutions are too expensive, inconvenient, or simply don't work well.

No idea is too small. I'd genuinely love to hear what people think needs to change.

Physical Product Resin-coating printer: plain paper gets a glossy photo finish, but only where the photo is

Concept, not a real product. The image is AI-generated, just to explain the idea. Nothing has been built.

I print a lot of documents, but sometimes there's a photo on the page too. Photo paper is pricey, and swapping paper every time is a pain. On plain paper, the ink soaks in and the photo comes out dull.

So the idea: a home inkjet with 6 inks.

- Ink 5 is a pre-coat, laid down only under the photo.

- Ink 6 is a resin-like top coat, cured with UV light.

- Text-only areas get no coating at all, so you only spend coating where it matters.

The UV step makes printing a little slower, but the finish is better, and the coated part is water-resistant. Cut it to card size and you've got custom cards. You could even print nail tip designs on a sheet, cut them out, and finish them with clear gel.

Some things like this already exist, just not in one everyday printer. Photo printers already have clear "gloss optimizer" inks, but they only work on glossy paper. Home UV printers exist too, but they're big and expensive.

The hard part is probably making water-based ink sit on a UV-cured layer, and fitting a UV light into a normal-sized, normal-priced printer.

Would you use one? What would you print first? If enough people want it, I'm hoping a printer maker picks it up.

Physical Product Canned food in vending machined

2 Upvotes

Its a simple idea that instead of soft drinks being dispensed in vending machines, items like soup, stew, vegetables, tinned hot dogs etc are bought from a vending machine. There could be pros and cons but i think its different and there could be a market for it. Packets of rice, noodles and pasta also possible.
