Creativity Wasted

Idea: An app for gambling on the weather. Also: a racing-themed gambling game on when a storm will arrive and a dart-themed gambling game on where lightning will strike; the mob corrupting the weatherman and causing him to lie during the weather forecast; predicting rainbows and a PSA warning people of the dangers of car accidents from watching rainbows while driving; elderly women dominating weather gambling by using weather-predicting birds and/or sensing the weather with their achy joints

Idea: A buffet where you order your food by watching a live video feed (while you're at a drive-thru or using an app) and telling a worker who's at the buffet what foods to grab. Also: using robots to scoop the food and/or deliver the food; having it count calories as they scoop, and using the remote buffet for all of your meals to ensure portion control to lose weight; drive-thru liquor stores using "growlers" and other refillable containers to buy the exact quantity of alcohol that you want; an embarrassing childhood buffet incident at Ponderosa Steakhouse

A brainstorming session on how to clean up a specific adult-themed bit/joke, and a discussion on whether it's even possible. Also: dirty metaphors/innuendo such as "the grand finale" and "the product of the interaction"; "seagulling" and dirty urban legends being made real; using Adam Sandler movies as a barometer of acceptable PG-13 dirtiness

Idea: An app for comedians/performers to coordinate with bookers to schedule gigs, where the performers list their avails in the app, and a set of show bookers (similar to those on "MCN" aka "Michigan Comics Network" on Facebook) browse through and select available performers to book them for their shows. Also: multiple bookers could see that a performer is available to perform on a given day, and the first one to choose them gets them, instantly removing their availability to other bookers at that time, so performers don't have to, for example, apply to two weekly Monday shows on alternating Mondays; allowing performers to set availability criteria using custom macros/scripts, such as that they don't want to drive a long distance for a small amount of performance time or pay; info in the app about the performers (clips, bios, warnings from other bookers, etc.) and the venue (free drink tickets, a list of stage props available for improv acts, etc.); the weirdness of standup comedy venues not wanting comedians to wear shorts

Idea: An app which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist (not replace) the dungeon master and possibly other players in "Dungeons & Dragons" (D&D) and other similar tabletop games. Also: helping the dungeon master by generating maps, NPCs, rooms, quests, etc. before the game and/or on-the-fly during the game, using configured settings, randomization, and the current state of the game (which the AI would know by listening to the game); explaining D&D to newbies (both in this podcast and in the proposed app); using AI to generate a visual display of the current state of the game for all of the players, including the floor plan of the current room, info of the NPCs you're interacting with, etc.; drinking while playing D&D and other tabletop games

Idea: A commercialized bathroom that contains different types of toilets from around the world (bidets, pit toilets, etc.), so you can try them out before traveling or before buying one, and to allow foreigners to use a familiar type of toilet. Also: extra clothes for the case of mishaps, such as a knee snapping and causing you to fall into a pit toilet; an "assport" as a souvenir with stamps indicating which nation's toilets you've successfully used; the World War 2 challenge; a "gravy enema" to "put one in the chamber" to try out the toilet; Tom didn't know how an enema works

Idea: A drive-thru buffet where your car sits on a moving track inside a building (like an automatic car wash), you stick your arm out the car window and grab food as your car slowly moves by the buffet tables, and your car (with you and the food inside) is weighed to see how much food you grabbed to determine how much to charge you. Also: backing up and crashing if you missed a food that you want; "coal rolling" to pepper the food with exhaust; tweaks to make the idea a little more practical, like standing next to the car as it moves through the buffet to better reach the food, or a redesign where the car is parked next to a round rotating buffet

Idea: An app for comedians which uses AI to analyze recordings of their sets and split it into separate jokes, rate the audience reaction to each joke, and create tags (hashtags, not "joke tags") to organize the jokes into broad categories, such as "parenting" or "dating". Also: creating a profile for a comedy venue of how well different types of jokes (by tag) do there, to help comics tweak their sets to accommodate the venue before ever performing there; using AI-based profiles of comics to choose who to book, and possibly causing venues to segregate into comedy niches; using AI to detect if a joke is too common, hacky, or stolen; tricking the AI

Idea: A dating app that only shows you people who share the same kinks/fetishes or at least would tolerate your kinks/fetishes. Also: admitting other embarrassing things in dating profiles, like STDs or financial debt; a kink tolerance sliding scale in the app, like to tolerate their extreme kink, they have to make lots of money; setting chores or qualifications for your partner to "unlock" their kink like in a videogame; ruining the fun of the idea by comparing dating sites to tax prep sites

Idea: To put smart gun turrets in nature areas (and possibly also arm the animals) to protect the animals from people and from invasive species. Also: lazy panda bears as picky Roman dictators; giving bees BB guns and/or hiding machine guns inside beehives; showing jungle animals Andrew Tate videos and then giving them guns just to watch the world burn; inheriting the family business of creating dragons and watering it down to giving bees pocket knives
