  • Cooldown Hammock (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A hammock for cooling you down, especially during summer heat emergencies when the power goes out. It would contain a shade with solar panel(s), a fan (which is powered by the solar panels), and hammock ropes which seep out water (like gardening "soaking hoses") which comes from a hose, water bag, or rainwater collection barrel. Also: you could pump icy water through the hammock in plastic tubes instead of dripping out water and getting you wet; a hammock which warms you instead of cools you; silly ideas for reducing body sweat and butt sweat

  • Sports Logo Lawn Stencils (Milan Stromile)

    Idea: Giant stencils which come with special biodegradable spray paint for you to stencil your favorite sports team's logo (or university's logo) on your lawn for the day of the game, and then wash it off afterwards with a hose. Also: ideas to prevent the stencils from being used for graffiti; using the stencils to mark parking spots; stencilling other things, such as anime characters, Christmas decorations, or angry break-up messages on the lawn

  • Concrete-Filled Ketchup Bottle Self-Defense Weapon (Rheila Grae)

    Idea: A ketchup bottle with concrete hidden inside to be used as a blunt-force self-defense weapon, so an attacker wouldn't realize it was a weapon and take it from you. Also: the weirdness of carrying around a ketchup bottle; the risk of people asking you for ketchup (which you don't have); carrying a ketchup bottle could give you an excuse for having someone's blood on you (i.e. you could say that it's just ketchup)

  • "The Handler" Hand Movement Replication Robot (Lindsey Boersma)

    Idea: A hand-like robot which repeats hand motions that you program into it, in order to a) control a mouse to do repetitive tasks in videogames (like Runescape or New World), b) perform a musical instrument, c) perform a puppet show or a haunted horror show, d) pleasure a partner (in real-time or later, including possibly after you're dead), etc. Also: whether or not to make the hand look human; accessorizing it with rings and jewelry; childless comedians who're unsure whether little kids use tiny computer mice

  • Slideout Front Entry Room (Tom Walma)

    Idea: To replace the typical front door of a house with a "front entry room", for which, leading outside, there are two automatic sliding doors (one that opens side-to-side, and one, like an inch away, that opens upward), and leading inside there is another automatic sliding door. The purpose of this little entry room is to a) allow delivery men to put packages into the room so they don't get stolen off the porch, b) to keep the heat/AC in the house (especially for tiny houses), and c) to eliminate the chance of a swinging door smacking into someone heading through the door in the other direction at the same time. Also: the front entry room could collapse like an accordion or fold up to be flush against the wall when not in use (especially for tiny houses); the risk of it failing or giving someone a claustrophobic panic attack; stories of falling injuries, including Ben's story of falling off a statue at a sports stadium

  • Daddy Finder App (Amy Jo Ezel)

    Idea: An app for submissives to find a dominant "daddy" (or "mommy"), including 1-10 scales of physical dominance and mental dominance or cruelty, personal preferences within a particular fetish, and the desired type of relationship (i.e. one-time daddy, part-time daddy i.e. becoming a couple for whom the fetish stays in the bedroom, or full-time daddy). Also: weird and questionable fetishes; fetishes in virtual reality; a non-sexual Kid Rock cosplay adventure

  • Standup Comedy Discussion (Benjamin Cheek)

    A discussion about doing standup comedy and running a comedy room. Also: the pain of rejection when trying to get a venue to host your comedy show and to get people to come to your show; asking the audience of an in-person comedy show or a MeetMe livestream to donate to your CashApp as a joke, as racial reparations, or because they're lonely introverted men; advice for a nervous new comic who's only performed once in a standup comedy class; some ideas for breaking up the monotony of standup comedy shows, such as singing dirty parody songs at a comedy show in a movie theater before showing the movie

  • Mental Health Medication IUD (Mic Gimby)

    Idea: Mental health meds that can be inserted somewhere in your body like an IUD, so you don't have to take pills or deal with mental illness for long periods of time. Also: worrying that it might have stopped working or trying to dig it out of your body to make it stop working; Neuralink having to wirelessly recharge batteries located in your chest cavity (with wires leading up to your brain) every few weeks; placing the mental health medication "IUD" in your rectum

  • Rethinking Traditional Social Events (Tom Walma)

    Ideas to make boring traditional social events better or at least less inconvenient, such as making them shorter, moving them to Sunday morning so they don't interfere with afternoon recreation activities, teleconferencing (for some of them), and some silly ideas like conducting baby/wedding showers and funerals through a drive-thru. Also: high school graduates going on a trip with their friends instead of spending money to host a "graduation party"; getting rid of Thanksgiving but keeping "Thanksgiving Eve"; robots with TVs/monitors for heads to allow both divorced parents to virtually attend the same real-world event without fighting (the screen could go blank if it gets too close to the ex); comedians getting invited to less social events and/or getting pressured to perform at social events

  • Magic Trick Explainer App (Chris Young)

    Idea: An app which explains magic tricks that you just watched, either on TV or in person. Also: discussing whether learning how a magic trick works ruins the excitement and wonder of watching the trick; the app might distract a live audience and cause them to talk or heckle during the show; a story about performing in a standup comedy show where an audience member brought a "clown horn" and used it during the entire show
