Idea: A diet where you'd still eat like a pig, but you'd go on a cycle of cocaine, bulimia, Fen-Phen, and other unhealthy (but effective) ways to lose weight, and an expert would manage your diet cycle to ensure that you don't do any one unhealthy thing for a long enough continuous period of time to get addicted or to cause permanent health problems Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 53 David Otis Van (twitter.com/davidotisvan) Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Chris Lazar Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: If cameras continuously record what one side of your body sees, and then flexible, clothing-like screens on the other side of your body display the recorded video in real-time (or if you were inside a cylinder of solid, curved monitors), you'd look invisible. But you don't have to just display what was captured by the cameras. You could display the image of another (smaller) person walking and moving in the same way you are, with that person's image surrounded by the video captured by the cameras, so the remainder of your body which is not displaying the other person's image would appear invisible Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 53 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN6nBbMFIE03wqFz5PwAA3w) "Spruce Rice" (twitter.com/LordBluntsWorth) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: After you go shopping, you'll leave in a self-driving one-person car which has human safety features, and your purchased items would go into a self-driving delivery car which is cheap because it doesn't need airbags or safety features required for transporting people. The self-driving delivery car might combine multiple deliveries in one trip like Uber carpooling, and might not arrive at your house as quickly as you do Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 53 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman, twitter.com/A2Tonight) Doug Glidden (facebook.com/doug.glidden.7) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: Snow skiing on an oval racetrack where a metal bar goes across the track about 8 feet above the ground, and several tow-ropes hang down from it and push skiers around the track. The track can contain little bouncy hills and ramps and such. This allows skiing to be done in small parks in cities Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 52 Nolan Reilly (instagram.com/kzquarantineking) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A movie where angels and devils participate in the American Revolutionary War, just for sport. The devils are on the side of the Americans, and win because the devils are good at deception and other war-like activities. Or maybe there were no angels and devils, but the Native-Americans used ergot poisoning to get the white people to hallucinate and start killing each other so that they'd go away Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 52 Nolan Reilly (instagram.com/kzquarantineking) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: Tom thinks his futuristic (and cheap) tiny house idea is a better idea than having a "universal basic income", and his futuristic tiny houses would also eliminate house chores, allow you to move instantly without packing your stuff, give you time to pursue your dreams, and even solve infrastructure problems like the Flint Water Crisis. He sees them as giving you true freedom (as opposed to the current system of wage slavery), but his podcast guests see them as a sterile prison Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 52 Nolan Reilly (instagram.com/kzquarantineking) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A coworker saying goodbye on his last day before quitting a job is a perfect opportunity to share a couple minutes of blunt or awkward advice (which I call "trench advice"), because 1) they know you really well, 2) you'll probably never see them again so you don't have awkward social interactions with them in the future, and 3) they have no incentive to say mean things to you to mess with your head Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 51 Gimmy Cipriano (twitter.com/theRealGimmyC, twitter.com/aBitTooMuch1) Ricarlo Winston (twitter.com/thewolfspider23) Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: An app for buying and delivering booze and other items from a local liquor store to your house (or the nearest corner if you're homeless). Or it could be like an ice cream truck for adults, in which case grown men holding dollar bills would be drunkenly chasing the booze truck through the neighborhood in a zig-zag line. Also: A liquor-shaped vehicle similar to the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 51 Gimmy Cipriano (twitter.com/theRealGimmyC, twitter.com/aBitTooMuch1) Ricarlo Winston (twitter.com/thewolfspider23) Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A shopping app that uses photo(s) of you (in your underwear) to calculate and show you what the clothes would look like on your body. Also: hackers stealing semi-nude photos from the app; helping the app determine your body dimensions by standing next to a celebrity mannequin (for example, Seth Rogan) in your photos; having to explain to other people why you have a mannequin of Seth Rogan in his tighty-whities in your house Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 51 Gimmy Cipriano (twitter.com/theRealGimmyC, twitter.com/aBitTooMuch1) Ricarlo Winston (twitter.com/thewolfspider23) Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)
