Creativity Wasted

Idea: To fly swarms of tiny drones with bright lights on them into tornadoes so people can easily see the tornadoes for safety reasons. Also: the tiny drones could be released from self-driving large military drones or self-driving cars; some of the drones could have audio sirens (for rural areas without tornado alarms) and some could make a line in the sky to show the projected future path of the tornado; if the tornado lights were too pretty people would walk outside to see them and get killed (kind of like bugs flying into a bug light)

Idea: For substitute teachers to work together to leverage the teacher shortage to pressure schools to let them show videos or do easy teaching instead of having to quickly learn complex lesson plans. Also: a designation after the lazy substitute teacher's name that is "the opposite of a doctorate" (ex: "Melissa Brandt, ZZZ"); getting lost in the school trying to take the students to the gym; trying to teach music when you don't know how to play an instrument

A prank idea that Heather is planning for this year's April Fools Day, which is to trick her husband into thinking she got a nose ring. Also: ideas to enhance the prank, such as to make it a septum ring, make her voice sound funny, wear a full goth outfit with it, etc.; the risk of her husband liking it and wanting her to keep it; piercings and their issues, including infection, smelling bad, etc.; previously performed pranks, including a kitchen sink prank and a prank-like surprise trip

Idea: To build cheap sports stadiums with no upper deck and instead to surround the stadium with machines or rides to lift people up to view the game, such as cable cars, Ferris wheels, swing set swings that go straight up and down, etc. Also: drone vendors to bring food to people sitting in these machines; bussing the machines between stadiums (like a traveling carnival) based on ticket demand; lengthening time between innings or quarters to give people sitting in these machines more time come down and go pee; fun over-the-top ideas such as tour busses that become a row of seats, human pneumatic tubes, and giant balloons; the weird baseball stadium vendor accent vs. the Boston accent and discussing the Midwestern/Michigan accent

Idea: A social media app or filter which blocks or limits the amount of negative news stories and negative social media posts you can view, for the sake of your mental health and happiness. Also: it could display a hint/preview of a negative story with the sad details hidden behind a cute puppy photo, in which case you'd have to "click to expand" to see the sad details; the desire to still be shown "funny bad news", such as a 100-car pileup where nobody died; our hatred of "vagueposting" when we're trying to limit our exposure to the news; an idea for a social network that is only about pets and animals; the need for more templates (similar to "reported safe from xxx" or "happy birthday" reminders) to coax/help people post different types of good personal news (for example, to remind people to take a "before" picture for their "weight loss journey" and to store that picture for later, i.e. when they want to announce that their weight loss goal was achieved)

Idea: A cartoon series set in a pawn shop where the items in the shop talk to each other, tell stories of their past, and speculate about their former and future owners. Also: showcasing diverse cultures, languages/accents, and time-specific cartoon/art styles based on the origin of the item; story lines such as paired items being separated, fake gold jewelry telling lies (because they're fake), an owner repeating pawning and buying back an item, etc; a mix of weird items such as musical instruments, grandfather clocks, fake jewelry, beekeeping poles, etc.

Idea: To try to recreate Noah's Ark on a giant ship and show the 40-day voyage attempt on a continuous livestream and a TV show. Also: it could use a modified cruise ship, a floating biodome, or maybe even a spaceship; using horses and other animals to do work (such as pulling carts full of food or poop) to allow 2 people to run the Ark; the ridiculously large number of species of beetles, the possibility of that being scientific fraud, and skipping similar species for the Ark if little kids can't tell the difference between them; you could record how many species survive the 40 days and try again every year, learning from mistakes and iteratively improving the Ark

Idea: A small foldable table to be used while sitting on the toilet and that can be stored on the toilet when not in use. It could replace the toilet seat lid, replace the toilet tank lid (or mount on top of a special toilet tank lid), or be stored in a slot behind the toilet tank. Also: some items such as coffee cups can be placed on a wet bathroom sink, but other items like your phone or a magazine cannot be placed on a wet sink and would be more appropriately placed on a small table; questioning whether you would be socially punished if people found out that you had a table in front of the toilet; giving it an exotic European-sounding name (like "Skorza") and then pretending that toilet tables are common in Europe

Idea: To build giant hollow mountain-sized pyramids in large cities and grow food on flat terraces on the outside of the pyramids. Also: foods which require high elevation would be grown on the top of the pyramids; they could cause rain, shade cities, and/or block tornadoes from cities (or cause a deadly veggie tornado); using the pyramids for other stuff such as "pumped storage" power generators, cell phone towers (which might lead to a fear of eating "5G grapes"), tourism, etc.; once we have millions of robots that build everything, the cost of building a giant hollow pyramid could come way down

Ideas (both silly and serious) for foods which have additional practical uses during an apocalypse, such as inflatable bagels as flotation devices, sharp-edged foods as weapons, pop tarts as sticky notes, fruit roll-ups as clothing, etc. Also: Tom's apocalypse stash of greenhouse plastic; the problem of accumulating hair on 100 year spaceship journeys; garbage bags full of used toilet paper can be packed against the walls and used as insulation, which is a similar instinct to how birds use poop to hold together the straw or branches in their nests
