Creativity Wasted

Idea: An app to be used by amateur performers (primarily open mic comedians, but also maybe musicians, improv actors, etc.) to sign up to perform and to share info about the venue, including whether performers get a free drink (or have to buy drink(s)), whether it's safe for women, whether the bathrooms are clean, whether performers openly use drugs (and which drugs), etc. Also: how weird it is that everyone still uses Facebook to sign up for open mics; a feature to help you connect with other performers to hang out and/or to feel safe; brainstorming a title, such as Greenroom, Green Book, Mic Rate, etc.; merch for the app, such as a cup which performers could bring to the venue to get discounted drinks and so they don't have to drink out of a gross poorly-washed glass at a dive bar; passing a McDonalds burger backstage from person to person, each person taking a bite

Idea: A mind-erasing device to make you forget a TV show or movie so you can experience it again as if it was your first time seeing it. Also: using a Black Mirror-esque device while watching Black Mirror; the risk of people using it to forget stuff from their real life; if you have to wear it on your head the whole time it's making you forget stuff, and it's big and nerdy, this would dissuade people from using it for their real life; if you watch the same thing over and over in one sitting, it could drug you or knock you out for a few hours between viewings so your dopamine levels aren't depleted for the later viewings

Idea: To create eco-friendly, solar-powered floating cities on water reservoirs such as Lake Powell or Lake Mead, to shade the water to reduce evaporation and algae growth and also to reduce or eliminate house heating and cooling costs. Also: putting some houses on docks and floating other houses on the water, and what to do about pipes; the risk of jerks dumping trash and sewage into the drinking water; how floating houses would perform in different apocalypse scenarios

Idea: A dating app like Pokemon Go where you have to walk around and/or perform a fitness-oriented scavenger hunt to find and meet up with your date. Also: questioning the morality of dating apps allowing you to filter potential dates based on physical fitness test results; an online date that turns out to be a surprise competition against 100 other people; an absolutely insane online dating lie

Idea: To camp in a large insulated and temperature-controlled box which is similar to a chest freezer, because it'd be much cheaper than an RV, and because the only time you really need to be enclosed and comfortable while camping is when trying to sleep. Also: an extra-wide 2-person version; a duel-use chest freezer with a normal chest freezer lid and a special camping lid that allows you to breathe and/or pops up like a tent; a lifting accessory to help you get it into and out of the back of a pickup truck; protection from wolves, bobcats, and possibly even bears; the possibility of being mocked by or creeping out other campers

Idea: An app to help you find, background check, pre-interview, and hire someone to be your partner during social events, possibly pretending to be your significant other so you don't get shamed for being single. Also: using the app to hide the fact that you're dating someone who's "not presentable"; using the app to get the correct number of people for a sporting event or physical activity; things that could go wrong, such as the wrong "mate" showing up or having a personality clash with your "mate"; debating whether more men or women would use the app

A satirical proposal for a society where disgruntled tenants can (legally) challenge their landlords to a physical battle for ownership of the house or apartment, where if the tenant wins, they own the property outright and do not have to pay rent or a mortgage. The purpose is to discourage landlords from being jerks, to discourage people from choosing to become landlords and to instead create a society based on home ownership (and maybe co-ops), and to encourage physical fitness in tenants. Also: televising battles between landlords and tenants; building houses with 5 foot high ceilings to discourage large tenants who might be able to defeat you in battle from moving in; winning your apartment and then moving out when the water heater breaks and floods the place and you don't want to deal with it

A brainstorming session about a dark and gritty movie adaptation of the Super Mario Bros videogame. Ideas include a 1950s noir detective movie where Mario is the detective who tries to find the kidnapped princess, a movie where Bowser is a sleazy landlord who keeps a drug-addicted Princess as a "strawberry" who supplies Bowser with adult favors in exchange for drugs and lodging, a movie where the Goombas are zombies, a movie from Bowser's perspective, etc.

Idea: A retractable car seat toilet for the driver to use the restroom while driving or in a stopped car. Also: a built-in bidet because it'd be hard to wipe while driving; dumping the waste onto the road and creating an oil slick like in Mario Kart; reusing the waste as windshield wiper fluid; becoming the crazy astronaut diaper lady

Idea: Periscopes for short people to use at concerts and music festivals. Also: a periscope view of the crowd might help you avoid danger; stories of being injured at concerts; putting the periscope in a fake head and wearing a trench coat like an Inspector Gadget or Scooby Doo cartoon; ideas for naming it, including Ecstasee, Shakira-to-Shaq, and Peepers
