Your ideas, no matter how terrible

a suggestion to the soda companies: put a basically plain coke flavor pop dispenser in grocery stores (like water companies do, bring your bottle in and refill it, a bigger version of the fountain drinks)
that way, the company saves money by not using as much plastic - they can basically just ship the syrup to the grocery stores; they save the customer money by having cheaper pop because of what i just said, and not having a recycling fee; and they 'save' the environment herpderp




How would it stay carbonated?

How would it stay carbonated?

the same way it does at mcdonalds and other sh*tholes

Convenience rules your argument invalid.

Thats....
A really good idea...


Convenience rules your argument invalid.

notice how the OP said:

>not matter how terrible

Are you daft?
And OP, what you described was basically exactly how soda/drink companies operated up to the 60's/70's, when it became apparent that they made a SH*TTON more money selling their product in bottles at individual unit prices.

Car Plants
Sell small potted plants intended to be kept in your car. Plants should be sturdy types (succulents?) with cute pots that can fit a cupholder, and high rims so that you can water it without spilling. Could market it as a general "green" effort, but also make up sh*t that it cleans your car's air (filtering out the new car smell carcinogens, etc.).

We replace the monetary system with the exchange of sexual favors.

OP, if you have ever watched any movies from the 50's and 60's you'd realize that drugstores and shopping centers use to sell soda exactly how you described. They don't anymore because the companies make more money selling their drinks at higher prices in bottles.

>I know nothing about the soda industry
Soda companies make almost all their money from providing their special syrup to fast food places, restaurants, etc. etc.

MY IDEA is an addition to profile browsing on Xbox Live.
you have "add as friend", "send message", etc. right now, right? but the only externally effective ones are "file complaint" and "submit review". i would have Microsoft add "offer xbox handshake" and "offer xbox high five" after you do something badass on like MW2 or BC2 that they witnessed. handshakes for "good game", like an opponent that you respct. high fives for teammate activity that was totally badassed. as soon as you reciprocate the high five or handshake it gets added to a count that displays on your profile! an obvious exemption is that people who are on your friends list only get to high five you or handshake you once.

McDonalds needs to offer a low calorie version of their syrup. One container contains almost 200 calories in it. Which is ridiculous. A light syrup would be a good idea.

i think they might already have such a thing but:
a person you hire to grocery shop for you, you basically give them a list and what alternatives are acceptable, and then they go grocery shopping for you

Yeah, that already exists. It's kinda costly though.

most online grocery ordering works exactly like this.

Do they absorb the smell of blood or rotting corpses?

They should figure out how to make all vehicles on the road powered through magnetics much like the Maglev. They should also figure out how to make other vehicles and dangerous spots or possible places for intersection repel the other vehicle. Although this might be impossible, I am too ignorant of the subject, it would be awesome.
First it would eliminate the need of gasoline and it would also eliminate accidents and deaths caused by automobiles.

Some kind of device in your car that allows you to speak with other drivers who also have the device within a certain area.
Even though it would mostly be used to call somebody an a**hole after they cut you off.

Stem-cell foreskin restoration
By SCIENCE, somehow a circumcised man can regrow a foreskin with all the intricate structures and thousands of nerve endings
Blahblah don't even come at me about the feasibility and all that bullsh*t. OP said no matter how terrible.

I like this idea. Have all vehicles powered like Maglevs. At intersections, the stopped traffic will have the resisting forces ramped up, so anyone deciding to speed through a red light will get launched in the air, and to their deaths.
Hell, it might even work like a bridge over the other traffic so you won't have to stop at all. Energy use and parking's going to be a bitch though.

Thats why we change your normal vehicle to be something like the Jetsons vehicle, basically a little vehicle that encapsulates you, taking up not too much more space than you would take up.

They had one of these soda-dispensers at a grocery store I went to around 10 years ago. It was probably a trial project since I only saw it in one store. It was store-brand cola. Worked just like you described it, buy or bring in your own 2L bottle and fill it up.
Then it just disappeared suddenly and never appeared anywhere again so I'm guessing it failed.

this definitely already exists. it was probably invented when the electric motor and modern bicycle were both in existence.

Here's one and I know it sounds lame, but hey, any idea no matter how terrible it is.
1) A rechargeable battery dispenser. Usually found in community buildings like libraries and coffee shops (i.e. where people like to hang out). It would basically be like an exchange service for dead but rechargeable batteries. Bring a dead battery into a little cup and get a new battery in its place with a full charge. Ex: Bring 2 dead AA rechargeable batteries and get them replaced with AA batteries with a fresh charge
2) Relationship tutor services
- Someone who tells you the ins and outs of how an intimate relationship works and keeps track of how well/bad the relationship is going.
3) A microchip sticker that's connected to a remote control for when you need to find things. For instance, let's say you put a sticker on a box full of old stuff and some time goes by and you need to find that box of said stuff. Just go to the remote control and press whatever button you need to find it, as the microchip would make a small beeping sound to alert you where it is.
Useful for other applications.
"Ohes noes, I can't find my keys" Press a button and the beeping noise will tell you where you put the keys.
"Where did I put those really important documents?" Same principle

I like the Magnetic Roads idea. But it would require HUGE amounts of work and money.
You would need to create a huge electric/data network that follows all the roads, along with the actual magnets that allows vehicles to work. This, in itself, is a gargantuously monstrous task.
You would then need a control system. Because, obviously, the gouvernment or company that owns this would charge you for the right to use it. So you can't use your vehicle if you haven't paid. The control system would also be used to monitor traffic and regulate vehicles' speed to avoid car crashes.
And then, the actual vehicles, which would not be cheap since magnets aren't exactly cheap, especially good ones.

ultra cheap, small-space housing. I mean like, basically a prison cell - except for the public.
I seriously don't understand why nobody has thought of this yet. You'd think it's stupid but it would be a lucrative market given how expensive "normal" housing is - and given that houses and apartments are generally always upgrading and increasing in value
which is the exact opposite of how every other market product works

Two Words: Fat Tax.
Done.

I had this exact same idea, I was going to post it. It would mostly be for yelling at a**hole drivers, but also it would be good for safety issues, and just for general fun. eg "Hey bro up ahead, your tyre is a bit flat" or "Bro nice car man"

A box you plug all your wired attachments (Chargers, Computer wires, ect.) into, and it sends a wireless signal to the receiving end so you don;t have to look/worry about a tangled mess of wires.

This already exists. Its called the Y. It would be filled with drug addicts and no one would want to live there.

Mandatory hand gun for everyone.
With a class in high school that trains you in gun maintenance and target shooting.
Every time you go outside, you must be strapped.
The nature of language would change. Open douchebaggery would not be acceptable because you are liable to die over insults. Bars would be dangerous places and most people would end up drinking indoors.
The ever present threat of instant retaliation would change the nature of language. It's kind of the most democratic thing you can do...

So what's gonna happen when you lose the remote control, or when you're not within beeping distance?

My friend was being funny and asian, and mentioned "praystation," which gave me an idea. Literally, a pray station. You go into the booth, pop in a few quarters, poke the religion you want on the screen, and you can either have the sermon of the day, or a set prayer for you, or a hymnal.

Man, its hard to think of ideas when they've already been implemented.
Some new ones, may be just terribad but whatever.
1) Glow-in-the-Dark flashlight
-Pretty much self-explanitory. I personally hate fumbling around in the dark trying to find some sort of light.
2) A night light that turns on at sunset
-Pop these babies in any unused outlet and it lights up a small section of the house/apartment.

My ideal government would be a libertarian oligarchy.
The Senate would consist of life members (all litmus tested libertarians), who get to appoint their successors (with approval of the rest of the Senate) and the whole of the body get to appoint a Chief Executive.
The idea is that these gentlemen (or women) would be the guardians of freedom in society, stopping the natural trend of the people to surrender their liberties to an ever growing government and to protect the principles of limited government and free markets from varying swings in popular opinion.

Beeper for your remote, and a beeper for that remote, and endless chain of beeping devices and their remotes, so that when you press the one you actually have on hand, a chain reaction of beeps begins like an electronic cascade throughout your house.

Somebody give me a software idea and I might just make it.
No "social networking for X" ideas though, that's just boring.

1. Vehicles with sophisticated Autopilot Systems.
2. A comprehensive computer program built into every vehicle that adapts to certain locations. I work at an Arena and it astounds me how no one reads signs and finds themselves in the wrong parking area/ not prepared to pay the cashiers.
3. America needs a f**king Bullet Train goddamnit. It's be a major "f**k-you" to the airlines too, which is always good.

F**k yeah, country-wide Wild West. People would only end up drinking or letting go of their inhibitions around good friends.
Not many people would start shooting in public, as concerned bystanders would start opening up as well, shooting the shooters, and maybe getting shot in turn.
If you have designs to kill someone, then you have to worry about their friends and relatives coming after you. Families would become more important, as they are your de facto posse, and brodom would reach a new height.
Business contracts would be better honored and general financial dickery would slow down. For example, if a bank keeps hitting customers with ridiculous fees, a disgruntled customer may go postal right on the spot.
Bitches would play less havoc on men by cheating, since this causes rage-murders. Men would be less inclined to accept the advances of cheating women since they see their boyfriend's gun behind the girl at all times.
It would return seriousness to a lot of the old social orders and mores that modernity has bleached with its relativism and false notions of right.

Won't work. It would degenerate into an oligarchy. You are asking these people to spend their lives serving a government that by definition is small and unintrusive.
That is to say serve a position that brings neither glory or power. The only way to maintain that system would be to define honor in such a way that honor is rewarded and exalted, and the only way to do that is to create some sort of state religion that canonizes virtues that serve the libertarian state. Which defeats the whole purpose of libertarianism.
With life-term senators whose positions are hereditary, only the Roman Republican system would work. Which is not libertarian at all.

You hate everybody who lives in an urban area? For a good 80% of us, it's not our fault.

Um, you know what would be really cool? A place people could like, um, store their money so it wouldn't get stolen. The people in charge could even let people borrow this money for things like houses, as long as they pay it all back plus a little extra for the lulz. WHADDAYA THINK?

My dad always wanted for there to be a non-sh*tty business networking site, like Facebook but professional.

I think people should stop working so hard. Maybe only work half days. And spend the extra time doing sh*t they enjoy doing.

You're right in the way the system would be maintained, i.e, the members would be motivated by their own sense of honor and virtues in upholding the values and principles they were willing to dedicate their lives to.
I wouldn't call it religion, though. The people in power wouldn't be brainwashed, they'd just be unapologetic ideologues.

Google has a "20% policy" that you need to stuff you want to do for 20% of a week ie. one whole day.
Incidentely this is how google earth and a sh*tload of googles apps. have spawned.
Some bored engineer came up with it and after it was half-ready someone saw it and google made a project about it. Seems to work wonders but im pretty sure any smaller business would not be able to cope with "loosing" this much work time.

So instead of nations as we have them now, we instead have countries created with specific governments and economic systems intended for them. One nation is a laissez-faire capitalist nation, one is a fascist state, one is a communism state, etc.
There would be no pride in whatever nation you were born in. A focus in school would be educating you to the methods of government so you had a clear idea of what the other nations were like. You could move to whatever government you fancied, and if you changed your mind about it, you could move from that one to another, and so on.
It'd eliminate political squabbling and the notion that a whole country should be altered just to fit the opinion of one individual. And there could be no "we can't allow _______ to treat their people that way!" as everyone there would be under that government by choice (obviously an extremist fascist government would have a safe word, so to speak, if you wanted out).
If one system of government really sucked that bad, it would cease to operate for lack of interest. Also I'm not sure if I want an anarchist nation.

Let's say there's this alternate dimension where you can punch people, and they turn into doors.
And in this dimension, there's a secret society of people trained to punch people into like, safe doors and classic Victorian doors.

The anarchist nation would sort of be a wildcard, since anarchy eventually evolves into a government anyways.
Or maybe imperialists from the other nations would go into the anarchist nation and try to expand their ideas onto new soil.
In either scenario the results would be very interesting.

This is essentially what is wrong with America today. Nontaxpayers levying taxes on taxpayers. It's beginning to burden the middle class.

Ok, im not going to pretend i know a lot about taxes. So let me explain how i think it should be and you can tell me what you think is wrong with it.
I basically believe that if you make below a certain amount you shouldnt have to pay (IE really poor) and everyone else should pay a certain percentage of what they earn, no matter who they are.
Thoughts?

My idea? A car driven by two engines, one in the front and one in the back

BIGGER KETCHUP PACKETS, HOW F**KING HARD IS IT?!

They should figure out how to make all vehicles on the road powered through magnetics much like the Maglev. They should also figure out how to make other vehicles and dangerous spots or possible places for intersection repel the other vehicle. Although this might be impossible, I am too ignorant of the subject, it would be awesome.
First it would eliminate the need of gasoline and it would also eliminate accidents and deaths caused by automobiles.

That is the current system. Well, it is also a progressive tax system. Meaning that above the minimum taxable income, the more you make, the more you are taxed.
If you were to say that that progressive rate should either be much less exaggerated or eliminated in favor of a flat rate, then I would agree with you. If you think rich people should be taxed out the wazoo the richer they are, then that's what we have right now.

Have a self service auto repair place. People could pay a fee to use our professional grade tools and equipment. It would be cheaper for people that know how to fix cars, but don't have/can't afford the right tools.

A ketchup packet is supposed to be 1 serving size. Either deal with it and acknowledge you are putting 2 or 3 servings of ketchup on whatever you are eating, or carry a ketchup bottle on a hip holster like the fatty you are.

That's actually a great idea. Although a lot of people don't actually know how to use the tools and would either f**k up their trucks and blame you, or f**k up your tools.
I like the sound of it. Could get messy but it could also work nicely.

Goddamn mustard packs a wallop but don't shoot out like ketchup. I should have worn my bib today.

Well naturally we would have papers you would sign to absolve us of liability if you are retarded. The tools would also be lo-jacked to prevent theft of course.

Putting the vagina on the barrel is stupid. One shot and the vagina is ruined. You would just have a fleshlight the size of a shotgun.
The better idea is to have the recoil do the work for you, putting the vagina on the back of a tripod mounted machine gun. You know, the kind you have to sit behind and shoot. BAM BAM BAM BAM, and as the action kicks back and forth, you get f**ked while shooting bullets.
The only thing to figure out is how to cushion the blow so it doesn't break your pelvis.

Pringles should sell the flavoring salt that they put on the Pizza Pringles in little bottles or packets in the spice isle. I'd put that sh*t on everything.

Try looking in the popcorn seasoning section. I know they have nacho cheese flavor at least.

Ok, are you sayin that the system now is something like this:
$20,000 - 30,000/year 20% tax
$30,001 - 40,000/year 30% tax
Not those numbers of course, but that kind of idea (and most likely more complicated then that)
And a flat tax is:
If you make >$20,000/year you pay 20% tax
(again not those numbers of course)
If so then flat tax is what i want, if not then I must've misunderstood again.

Terrible idea

This is a pretty interesting thread. I like

Send all fat people to australia.
Move all legit australians out.
The fatasses have 2 choices.
Run on Hampster wheels to create electricity, or some sort of energy.
Or get fed to starving africans.
On plan one, if they get skinny (its hot there too), theyre allowed to return to society.
Solve world hunger and a need for power!

lower taxes. thanks to Hauser's Law, we know that lower taxes mean increased tax revenue. this is why Democrats must never be in charge of the economy. ever.

ultra cheap, small-space housing. I mean like, basically a prison cell - except for the public.
I seriously don't understand why nobody has thought of this yet. You'd think it's stupid but it would be a lucrative market given how expensive "normal" housing is - and given that houses and apartments are generally always upgrading and increasing in value
which is the exact opposite of how every other market product works

yeah, they have tried this, and it is terrible. Pruitt Igoe was possibly one of the worst public housing structures ever devised, and it was based on the 'bare minimum' idea of yours. Its not to say that, perhaps, living more simply isn't bad, but living in a prison is not the way to do that.

Well, I have a sh*tty, low paying job as an over-qualified chemistry teacher, have a family to support, and just got diagnosed with lung cancer, so I'm thinking of producing crystal meth and selling it so I can pay for my treatments. Also, my brother-in-law works for the DEA.
Anon, what do you think of this idea?

don't mind me, just passing through.

a zoo where the people walk around going from inside cages to other cages, and the animals walk around on the sidewalk and such - the opposite

Legalize prostitution world wide.
No more rape.
You all know it to be true.

I'm going to get bitched at for identifying myself as a female, but I am one, also a feminist (actual one, not one of those sex-pos airheads), and I agree with you. I don't think it'll end all rape, but I think the benefits outweigh the negative consequences (what negative consequences lol?).

A tv mute control built into home telephones, what's the first thing that you look around for when the phone rings? right - problem solved.

We replace the monetary system with the exchange of sexual favors.

would end up being like money,
some peoples sex is more valuable than other peoples

Fountain drinks are terrible I would never buy that.

I think that it's going to devolve into a bunch of retarded sex drama just like every other attempt that's been made at producing an expensive soap opera.

supply would massively outweigh demand to the point where it would cost pennies for a blow job


supply would massively outweigh demand to the point where it would cost pennies for a blow job

I doubt this. It wouldn't be worth the hoes' time anymore. And even if it were and they'd give blowjobs for pennies, would that actually be a problem for you?

A movie titled Plaza del Morte.
It'll be a cheaply made, E-list suspense flick where a mad man has discovered an arcane symbol in the shape of a square. Anyone who steps in or passes over the square dies immediately.
I plan on having an "exciting" chase sequence where an obese man must run up a down-escalator with one of these death-squares drawn out at the bottom.

not for me no but for the hoes it would be. hoes would eventually stop doing it because they couldnt make money from it anymore

A smart toilet that appropriates the most efficient amount of water needed to flush an amount of waste.

I actually like this idea very much.


not for me no but for the hoes it would be. hoes would eventually stop doing it because they couldnt make money from it anymore

Yes, and that would balance out supply and demand again. Are you dense or just slow?


supply would massively outweigh demand to the point where it would cost pennies for a blow job

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE THE REMOTE CONTROL?
DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER REMOTE CONTROL FOR THAT ONE, AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER UNTIL YOU LOSE TRACK OF WHICH IS WHICH AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS RENDERED USELESS?

I think there should be a mandatory four times a year, two hour long lesson for every person on the planet. The lessons could be about anything but should be very simple stuff that would make the average IQ sky-rocket. For example "How big are my chances of winning the lottery?" or how genetics work.

Not one of you a**holes said Jump to conclusions mat yet.
I am really let down by all of you.

Car Plants
Sell small potted plants intended to be kept in your car. Plants should be sturdy types (succulents?) with cute pots that can fit a cupholder, and high rims so that you can water it without spilling. Could market it as a general "green" effort, but also make up sh*t that it cleans your car's air (filtering out the new car smell carcinogens, etc.).

You know what? I'd f**king love one of these.
There are a few problems with the idea, though- the primary one being that certain spectrums of light necessary to photosynthesis don't pass through car windows.

Movable highway medians. During rush hour traffic, the medians shift away from the heavily trafficked lanes towards the other direction of the highway and thus add space without making it permanent. A 4x4 becomes a 6x2.
Making it wouldn't be hard because you wouldn't have to outfit entire highways with the sh*t, just 2-5 mile stretches (in reality, traffic only occurs in short bursts).

the inverse of a microwave. kind of like a super fridge. hot beer? 30 seconds in super fridge and it's ready to go!

i have an idea:
valve get their ass in gear and give me episode 3.

I think there should be a huge dick

Really? From what I get in the wikipedia article, photosynthesis depends on the availability of certain colors of light. As long as the windows aren't some crazy tint and let in mostly white light, they should be covered. Car window glass mainly blocks UV right? That's why "transitions" lenses don't work in them...

IT IS CALLED SODA, NOT POP. POP IS A SOUND, NOT A DRINK.

You could be right, I'm going to try growing a small plant in my car- I'll report back in a few days.

Man, its hard to think of ideas when they've already been implemented.
Some new ones, may be just terribad but whatever.
1) Glow-in-the-Dark flashlight
-Pretty much self-explanitory. I personally hate fumbling around in the dark trying to find some sort of light.
2) A night light that turns on at sunset
-Pop these babies in any unused outlet and it lights up a small section of the house/apartment.

>1) Glow-in-the-Dark flashlight
This already exist, in a flourescent material and a led that blinks

>2) A night light that turns on at sunset
I installed one of these babyes in my outside lights. cost me like 5 dollars, check your radio shack.

so i have a couple...
a glove you can fill with hot water. the water of course will remain warm/hot inside. now as this sounds useless at first, think of the awesome feeling you get when you put your cold hands into warm/hot water.
next is a heater for the bathroom wich recognizes the temperature of the water you're showering with. it would then heaten up the room so you can comfortably exit the shower.
tiles with sensors that can notice how many bacteria are on them. maybe if they're really dirty they turn blue or something. you know, it's about making invisible dirt visible.
last thing is ice cream or popsicles that can be used to cool wounds or bumps or anything without making it all sticky even infect it.

1 pound loans, slightly short on bus fare? Take a 1 pound loan and pay back 150%
It would be really hard to keep track of it all, but would be a nice thing to have if you was too short on a burger meal or some sh*t.
Penny cards. Nobody ever wants that 1-10p change, so make a card system that converts your "keep the change" pennies into store credit.

Howbout this guize...
Once a child enters the schooling system (ie K-12 for my fellow americ**ts) they are taught how to build,repair,maintain their own vehicle.
Obviously the beginning years will be the indoctrination of basic car engineering. For example a kindergartner would learn simple sh*t like how many wheels there are, where the side view mirrors are located... you know easy stuff.
As the children get older they beginning to craft all the different pieces and tools required to build a vehicle.
Graduation is more or less based on if an individual students car is successfully created(and to standards)
Each car has it's own individual touch. Think of it like Star Wars: Each jedi creates their own lightsaber. Each driver created their own car. You ain't drivin' if you couldn't build it.

So this is why engineers study like a whole bunch of years to actually be able to produce something...
Herp derp my car herp derp flavour herp derp guns...

Soda bottled from the factory > soda from dispensers.
There's a quality difference between the two. It won't last for long.

Build your own car? Hell no.
Be provided with enough skills of using vehicles and the maintenance thereof throughout the learning stages so as to not be a total dumbf**k on the roads when the kids are old enough to drive? I'm all for that.

All early engineering should be replaced with computer programming.
They basically involve the same sh*t, mapping out an idea completely and following through, except programming has a kind of cleanliness to it that won't frustrate newcomers. For example, you might be precise enough to mark a piece of wood exactly, but you still might cut it badly and f**k up the entire project as a result.
Programming doesn't have that problem, if you think it you can do it.

You realize that programming has no real effect until is applied into services or goods? somebody has to build things anyway.

Most of these ideas are so mind-bogglingly f**king stupid and just not realistic at all. You guys are f**king retarded.
