  • Ice Cream Headache Machine (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A machine which is surgically implanted into your nasal cavity that detects the smell of candy or other unhealthy foods and then rapidly cools down to intentionally give you an "ice cream headache" (aka "brain freeze") to punish you and dissuade you from eating the unhealthy food. Also: its battery could be charged by a wind turbine in your nostril; you could put other gadgets up your nose, like an anti-snoring device or a pepper-spray launcher; the humor of watching thin, classy women digging into their noses in public because of this machine

  • White Privilege Warning App (Andrew McFarland)

    Idea: An app that monitors what you're doing and uses AI to determine if you're using white privilege or being racist, in which case it alerts you, shocks you, plays a loud tone so the other person can't hear what you're saying, etc. Also: a "boomer collar" which temporarily paralyzes your vocal cords to prevent you from saying offensive things; being forced to use the app as punishment; over-the-top examples of white privilege and an observed incident of blatant racism

  • Lact-Os (Haleigh Potter)

    Idea: Soft, bite-sized cheese balls with another gooey-er cheese inside, sold in a pack to be eaten alone as a snack. Also: gas station eggs; a series of related cheese products, such as a carbonated cheese-flavored drink; cheese-based toys for kids, such as a Play-Doh-like Lact-O rolling kit or cheese stick Lincoln Logs

  • The Privilege Sacrifices (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A festival where people air grievances about annoying household products and then burn them in a fire. Examples of annoying products include dishes that aren't dishwasher or microwave safe, underwear that doesn't have a fly, fridges with annoying beeps, and men's dress shoes that make clomping noises that sound like high heels. Also: the humiliation of nobody else sympathizing with your annoyance; the risk of being overrun by angry uninvited "Karens"; the one thing not allowed to be sacrificed

  • All-In-One Home and Body Cleaning Gel (Cameron Stahl)

    Idea: A cleaning product that can clean almost anything, including your body, hair, teeth, shower and sink, clothes, dishes, carpet, car, etc. Also: castile soap; getting flouride all over your house; using it for purposes other than cleaning, such as lube (for both humans and machinery), killing bugs, unclogging pipes, etc; flavors and scents that would be good for some purposes but gross for other purposes; it might cause cancer in 40 years, but the amount of money you save over the years will be more than the cost of the chemo

  • Child Bullying Service (Chris Barrett)

    Idea: A service to hire bullies to non-aggressively bully your child to help them "build character" if you worry that they're spoiled by social popularity and therefore aren't developing a good personality and/or creative talent. Also: hiring teachers or TikTok social media stars to bully your child; the risk of accidentally creating an out-of-control army of mercenary superbullies; being the "lame dad" on purpose to embarrass your child; another app for children to find out of their parents are hiring bullies; a bad attempt to blackmail a podcast guest

  • Cocaine Bear Drugged Animal Movie Sequels (Ree Ledbetter)

    Idea: To make sequels to the movie "Cocaine Bear" where other animals get drugged and go crazy in over-the-top comedic scenarios. Also: meth sloth; speed tortoise vs. pothead hare; Ree's story of being chased by a raccoon who tried to open a sliding door to follow her into the house; swarms of frogs jumping on your face to steal your drugs whenever you try to do them and thus forcing everyone to become sober; the "stoned ape" theory causing drugged animals to become intelligent and accidentally creating a "Planet of the Apes" scenario

  • Dual-Use Nuclear War Prep Ideas (Tom Walma)

    Ideas on how to prepare to survive a non-direct-hit nuclear blast that you can also use for other purposes, so you're not wasting your money and accumulating junk which will probably never be used, including an extendable roof that can extend all the way down to the ground to cover your windows during a bomb blast and also allow you to have more solar panels on your roof or to sled down it in the winter, a sprinkler system on your roof to protect your house from burning down during a bomb blast or a forest fire, a storage space underneath a waterbed that you can lay in to use the water of the bed to block the radiation that seeps through your walls. Also: levels of sadism at which you can find something funny without feeling guilty about it; pressing a board against the inside of your windows to support them and painting the board to look like the inside of your house from the outside (Wile E. Coyote style) so your neighbors don't judge you; the 3 things we'd want in a bomb shelter

  • Bad Singer Living in a Musical (Ace Armstrong)

    Idea: A movie set in a universe where people sing and dance all of the time (like in a musical or Bollywood movie), and the protagonist is horribly bad at both singing and dancing, which causes his life to be very difficult. Also: Angelyne and the Rockefeller-era woman who couldn't sing but her rich parents tried to make her a famous singer; Bear Grylls struggling to live with the Kardashians, as narrated by David Attenborough

  • Small Talk Mask (Deepak "DP" Aggarwal)

    Idea: A speaker hidden inside a mask which uses AI to talk for you (pretending to be you) so you don't have to small talk. Also: it could "trash talk" for you if you get tongue-tied in stressful situations; it could help standup comedians by handling heckers, doing your act for you if you lose your spot in your set, or the audience could wear it and it could laugh for them; it could be warn on other parts of your body, such as to be a fart machine
