Idea: A wristwatch with a dedicated baby monitor with audio, video with zoom/scroll, and possibly other sensors, because if you're in bed or sitting on the couch, you don't want to have to get up or roll over to reach a baby monitor. Also: questioning whether baby monitors are really necessary (but still feeling compelled to use one); Apple brainwashing you into accepting electronics which don't allow you to replace the battery; using a temperature-detecting camera to detect if a baby needs a diaper change

Idea: Tractors powered by sailboat-style sails instead of fossil fuels. Also: calculations of the power generated by sails vs. the power needs of different types of tractors; using a battery-powered tractor and charging it via a stationary windmill (or a windmill on top of the tractor); Tesla tractor conversion kits; questioning whether people would volunteer to farm your field for free if the tractor was fun like a sailboat, and questioning whether that notion (ie trying to get people to farm for free) is dangerously close to slavery

Idea: Pants to wear when you eat dip (bean dip, french onion dip, etc.) which repel the dip if you spill it on them. Also: spraying PFOS/teflon on pants to make them "non-stick"; putting fleece on the inside of the pants to make them more comfortable but possibly so warm that they overheat your groin and make you infertile; a (fictional) traumatic childhood story about spilling dip on pants

A comedic debate about which of four existing animal species (rat, raccoon, octopus, or crow) would be the first to develop human-level intelligence if humanity got wiped out. Also, if they all developed intelligence at about the same time, a debate about which would win in a mechanized inter-species world war. Also: raccoons have thumbs which they could use to wield tools; several nations have recognized octopi as sentient beings; modern-day crows can form pair bonds and work with wolves like our human ancestors did, and so, in the future, dogs could be effectively enslaved.... again; The Great Australian Emu War of 1932

Idea: A breakfast soup or stew, because there's no breakfast soup that we're aware of, and it sounds delicious. Also: a spicy breakfast that causes you to shit fire at 1:00 pm; "soupifying" a traditional breakfast; chicken waffle breakfast nachos; the absurd identity politics of drinking milk

Idea: An NFT-based social media application where each person has a peacock avatar, and people (or charities) give them a "feather" as a reward for doing a good deed, and so the more good deeds they do, the more elaborate their peacock becomes, allowing them to show off (aka "to peacock") their good karma to their friends. Also: each feather would include information about the good deed so other people can see why you earned it; people could give you cryptocurrency as a reward for a good deed; human auditors could verify that the highly-rewarded good deeds actually happened; discussing whether the possibility of a financial reward ruins the "purity" of good deeds; maybe people have always wanted to give like $5 as a reward to people they see on the local news who saved a puppy or something but there was never a convenient way to do so

Idea: A special citizenship status with fun privileges which allow you act like an action movie hero and commandeer another person's car, and also maybe take people's food, swap clothing with them, cut in front of them in a line, etc. Also: you'd have to do a brave heroic act to become a Super Citizen; "Improving Citizens" who have to "clean up the messes" of the Super Citizens, i.e. return the cars taken by Super Citizens to their owners; discussing our own successful and unsuccessful acts of heroic bravery

Idea: An app that you run when somebody's talking to you which listens to them and judges their intelligence level in order to help you determine whether or how to interact with them. Also: detecting personality traits such as abusiveness; questioning whether you'd run the app on yourself to determine your own intelligence level; using the app to identify a person from their voice if you forgot their name; creating a giant "big brother" online database of people's vocal intelligence assessments; tricking the app to appear more intelligent

Idea: Musical instruments such as drums, guitars, and saxophones which play themselves like a "self-playing piano" aka "player piano", and where you can't see the mechanism which is playing the instrument. Also: playing musical instruments using stick-and-gear contraptions, humanoid robots, metal balls falling in rhythm onto drums, etc.; replacing a deceased band member with a self-playing musical instrument; self-playing musical instruments on the street which wouldn't make you feel obligated to donate to them (unlike street musicians); discussing performing standup comedy on the street

Idea: A high student exchange program where both kids being exchanged live in the US but in different situations (city vs. country, rich vs. poor, etc.). Also: meeting and living with different types of people would make kids more emotionally intelligent and less likely to be jerks; "prison in the pines"; boarding schools for misbehaving exchange students so you don't have to send them (and the corresponding exchange student) home early
