Creativity Wasted

Idea: A nationwide grid of volunteer drone enthusiasts who set up their homes as "drone charging stations", so cellular/satellite-controlled hobby drones can hop across the country from house to house, while the person piloting the drone is doing so from the convenience of their own house. Also: kits for setting up your house as a drone charging station, either in your garage or your attic; shipping the drones across areas without any charging stations, or swapping control of drones with other people in different regions; having volunteers fix drones and get them out of trees, possibly with the aid of falcons; using the drones and drone stations to sightsee, do scavenger hunts, consensually peek in windows via an OnlyFans-style service, receive Amazon packages inside your house, and transfer data of a non-Internet-based social network

Idea: An app that can quickly get a list of foods in your house and find recipes that can be made using those foods, including serious recipes, recipes that are a fusion of different types of cuisine, and even weird life-hack-style recipes. Also: using your phone to scan your cupboards to get the available ingredient list, including estimates of how much of the ingredient you have left and expiration dates; finding recipes where you need one or two additional ingredients before you go grocery shopping and putting them on your shopping list; fake meats and the "deepfaking of food"; futuristic food printers and how they could replicate the annoyances of modern-day inkjet printers

Idea: A service to hire entertainers (celebs, magicians, etc.) for your funeral or a funeral of a loved one, so the funeral is less sad and has more of the feel of a social gathering that celebrates the life of the deceased. Also: secretly hiring celebrity actors to pretend that they were your friend; inappropriate laughter at a funeral; funeral pranks, such as hiring the "Weekend at Bernie's" actors or having the Publisher's Clearing House barge into the funeral and then say that they can't give away the money because the person is deceased

Idea: An app that each member of a group who're gonna eat together have on their phone, which collects everyone's food preferences, dietary restrictions, restaurant ratings, recent food orders, etc. and uses AI, randomization, info from restaurants (possibly even real-time info, like how busy they are), etc. to pick a restaurant to eat at or order from. Also: avoiding the age-old stalemate of "where do you wanna go", "I don't know, where do you wanna go"; having the app pick the restaurant could prevent people from assigning toxic blame to each other if the restaurant sucks, because it's not their fault, it's the app's fault; keeping track of how often a restaurant which is more preferred by one person than another is picked, to balance things out; showing bullet points of the reasons why a particular restaurant is picked (maybe one out of a group of ten is a vegan), and allowing you to choose to exclude a particular reason and retry picking a restaurant; including custom criteria like time, cost, etc.

Idea: A dark comedy movie where a young couple who are both improv actors pull a series of increasingly complex pranks on each other until one gets the other to help commit a real murder by tricking them into thinking it's just a prank. Also: how North Korea hired pranksters and tricked them into murdering Kim Jong Un's brother; whether or not to leave the audience guessing; eating cereal-like baby food snacks because they're half the calories of Cheerios and the other "healthy" cereals

Idea: Short cartoons based on mostly-autobiographical weird, funny, or interesting things that happened in Allison's life, such as her and a friend getting hissed at by a goth after almost running her over with their car and then saying "Oh my God, there would've been paint everywhere!!!", and her getting picked up like a baby and carried out of a mosh pit by a guardian angel skinhead. Also: making cartoons out of stories that don't work as standup comedy; goths, emo concerts, vampires, and Buffy, a non-ideological reason to appreciate "cancel culture"

Idea: An app or setting for your smart phone to detect whether you're wearing glasses and adjust the text size accordingly, so you don't have to manually go to settings to increase the text size to read the phone in bed at night after taking off your glasses. Also: automatically changing the font type (not just the font size) when you take off your glasses so you can see it better (or to be funner and less formal); fake spoiler pranks, and reading plots of books and movies on Wikipedia so you can lie and say you've read or seen it; reading while drunk or high, and possibly dumbing down the content of what you're reading if you're drunk; Hollywood teeth

Idea: Vending machines in cities that contain socks and other cheap items that you might occasionally need due to weather or other scenarios when you're out on the town, such as socks (if your feet got wet from stepping in a puddle or something), sticks of deodorant ("City Sticks), hairbrushes and dry shampoo, sunblock, tampons, etc. Also: putting a baby blue silhouette of your city's skyline on the socks; you could re-use the Japanese used-panty vending machines; questioning whether there would be a social stigma to be seen in public wearing "city socks"; this might cause alleys in cities to be strewn with used condoms and soggy socks

Idea: To have partially-automated robots in your house that can be controlled remotely by prisoners located in a prison, who can supervise the robot doing chores most of the time, and take over when the robot "gets stuck" or has problems. Also: security concerns, such as blocking out addresses on envelopes on the prisoner's video feed, having the robot only work when the homeowner is not home, etc.; kinky homeowner-robot-prisoner scenarios; using the prison labor household robots to help the lower class; comparing AI and prison labor to slavery and possibly inventing "moral slavery"

Idea: An app for pet owners to connect directly (peer-to-peer) for pet meetups, primarily for pet "hookups", but also pet sitting, pet adoption, pet play dates, sharing pet products, and other pet-related activities. Also: ideas for involving the pet in the "date" selection process, including teaching pets to "swipe right", pet tumescence meters, and using smell-o-vision for pheromones; inter-species hookups and catfishing; tech billionaires, the "Zuck spectrum", and dogs in VR; using sci-fi tech to allow neutered pets and pet species which are normally incapable of climax to get off
