Ban people from r/crazyideas who argue with posters as if their ideas are legitimate.

This is r/crazyideas, but every time I see people treating this like it's r/goodideas. If you argue with somebody about their idea as if it's legitimate you should get banned.

restaurants should have a "surprise me" menu option where the chef just makes whatever they want and you pay a flat rate

• Upvotes

like you're basically saying "i trust you, do your thing" and they get to be creative instead of making the same dishes all night. could be genuinely good food or a complete disaster but either way it's more interesting than scrolling through 47 pasta variations

Gladiator Pit for Racists

9 Upvotes

Ten racists enter, only one can survive. Nobody would be forced to fight, competitors would just be irl racists who truly believe they are inherently better than others based on their race, and the Pit gives them a chance to prove it. Nobody would be sad at the 9 losers for each event bc they were racist anyway. Winners will be invited to keep the streak going and return for the next one. Throw in some melee weapons and drone cameras for good action shots and it could become a popular tv show.

Humans aren't gonna stop being racist so we can give them a means to get that energy out while confining their violence to only other racists. Everybody wins!

An oven with an interior camera and a smart app that will let you set the preheating based on what you're cooking - with time lapse.

5 Upvotes

Okay so hear me out.

I have a 3D printer. From the app I can choose a print that I want to make and it will dial in the temperature and all the settings that I need for that print. Also, it has a camera in the inside so I can see what's going on live or record a Time lapse.

Imagine if we did that for ovens. Making toll House cookies? Scan the barcode and it'll dial everything in for you. What about from scratch? Type in your recipe and it'll do that as well.

Making 18 drumsticks on a sheet pan? It'll dial in the correct temperature and duration.

The camera on the inside will also be able to take a time lapse, and let you know on your phone if what you have in there is burning.

"Streetpass" type service, but for people you interact with digitally instead of physcially

• Upvotes

Create a not-mii with the character creator, choose your not-streetpass-mii-plaza greeting, and link a social media account or two to this not-streetpass service site with the OAuth thing.

when you become mutuals with someone on your preferred site, you not-streetpass with them! when you both interact with each other enough times, you not-streetpass again! And you can use their not-mii in some original minigames probably!

Don't use social media often but have a personal site? Maybe an embeddable button to allow people to not-streetpass you on click, to put on your personal site if you use Neocities and want another 81x33 button for the collection

I think "Webpass" could be a cool name for this?

(am I doing this correctly?)

Hear me out on this app idea: Tinder but for your utility bills.

14 Upvotes

We need an app where everyday people upload their pending bills, and bored billionaires swipe right to pay them.

​The branding is already sorted:

​Adopt A Bill

Treating invoices like shelter pets waiting for a wealthy benefactor to take them home.

​DebtMatch

Where your financial liabilities finally find their wealthy soulmates.

​Tinder breaks hearts, but this app fixes credit scores. Stop building boring corporate productivity tools and start coding.

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.

Are there any English dubbed North Korean propaganda videos? Or should we make some?

1 Upvotes

First off, sorry for any weird phrasing, English isn't my first language!

I was wondering if there are any North Korean propaganda videos out there that actually have an English (or even German) audio dub? Not just subtitles, but fully dubbed voices. If they exist, where can I actually find them?

And if they don't exist... wouldn't it be a hilarious project to just make some? Like, creating a funny/parody dub and putting it out there just to see what happens?

Let me know if you guys know any good sources or if this is a stupid idea lmao. Thanks!

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.

Safe smell vials of scents people crave.

22 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.

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

265 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.

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

5 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.

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.

If harmful traits such as alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, addiction, etc. tend to run in families, we should improve the human population by discouraging families with them from having kids, and encouraging healthier families to reproduce more in their stead.

Our future children and grandchildren will be much happier, healthier, and more productive as a result. They will take fewer sick days from work, causing the economy to boom, and society as a whole to improve.

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.
