  • Merged Local Governments (Mark Sweetman)
    Idea: There are too many tiny communities (Grosse Pointe Farms, Grosse Point Shores, Gross Pointe Woods, City of Gross Pointe) which each have to pay for their own local government services, like libraries, fire departments, etc. which could easily be shared between neighboring communities. Perhaps there could be a softball game between two neighboring local governments, where the loser's government is dissolved and taken over by the winner Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 85 Mark Sweetman (twitter.com/MarkTSweetman) Nick Leydorf (twitter.com/NickLeydorf Podcast: anchor.fm/free-consultation) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • DoTube (Tom Walma)
    Idea: A way to "fix the internet" by putting blogs, animations, and all of the miscellaneous stuff of the Internet inside a YouTube-like window, because nobody wants to go to wwww.someguyswebsite.com, and because YouTube's recommendations, subscriptions, top videos of the day list, view counts, etc. allow discovery of new content and for content to "go viral", and because a YouTube-like ad system allows content creators to make money Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 84 David Steves (twitter.com/dsteves79) Leighton Ward (twitter.com/LeightonMI Podcast: leightonward.com/category/podcast-episodes) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • ShameMe App (Leighton Ward)
    Idea: An app to fat-shame you, or shame you in some other way, to motivate you to lose weight or improve yourself. It could also provide motivational/instructional advice, such as "Today's diet plan: don't eat". It could be location-aware and insult you if you walk into a fast food restaurant. You could anonymously hire childhood bullies, family members, or celebrities to send audio of customized insults to incorporate into the app Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 84 David Steves (twitter.com/dsteves79) Leighton Ward (twitter.com/LeightonMI Podcast: leightonward.com/category/podcast-episodes) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Biggest Loser Online Dating (David Steves)
    Idea: An online dating site for people trying to lose weight, because "The Biggest Loser" is the most successful TV reality show for creating real-life married couples, and because "the couples who lose weight together stay together". The site could match local people like Tinder, and get them to work out together in the same gym, because the military shows that shared perseverance through a hardship often creates strong, lifelong social bonds Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 84 David Steves (twitter.com/dsteves79) Leighton Ward (twitter.com/LeightonMI Podcast: leightonward.com/category/podcast-episodes) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Modular Airplanes and Airplane Boarding Speedup Ideas (Tom Walma)

    Ideas to speed up airplane boarding, including: * Robots to lift bags straight up/down into the overhead bins of an airplane, so people don't stand in the aisle and block the line of other people who are boarding while they try to shove their bags into the overhead bins * A modular airplane, where the top half (cockpit and cabin) can be removed, and i) replace the waiting area of the airport to eliminate the need for "boarding", and ii) when the plane lands and slams on it's brakes, slide off the front of the plane, land on wheels, and drive away (like a bus) onto the highway without slowing down * Use high-tech transportation like modular airplanes and drones to create a more diverse transportation system, instead of repairing old roads and bridges Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 83 Naz Neen Mike Geeter (twitter.com/OhMikeGeeter, Kevin Hart's "Hart in the City") Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Black Niche Dating Sites (Mike Geeter)

    Idea: Niche dating sites for African-Americans, such as black farmers only, black lumberjacks aka "lumberblacks", and black bears. But not "black furries", because that's "white people sh**". Also, odd niche dating sites which already exist, such as a dating site for sea captains Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 83 Naz Neen Mike Geeter (twitter.com/OhMikeGeeter, Kevin Hart's "Hart in the City") Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • British X-Rated Game Shows in US (Naz Neen)
    Idea: American versions of adult-themed British game shows, including i) "Spring Break with Grandad", where college kids and their granddads compete as a team in party and beach-themed events, ii) "Naked Attraction", where people compete for dates by showing off their naked body in three rounds: genitals, midsection, and face, and iii) "Sex Box", where strangers are instructed to perform a specific sex act in a small room (where the audience can't see), and then afterwards, they talk about it in front of an audience Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 83 Naz Neen Mike Geeter (twitter.com/OhMikeGeeter, Kevin Hart's "Hart in the City") Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Moral Selection (Tom Walma)
    Idea: Environmental activism/engineering, where instead of trying to return nature to an arbitrary past before humans arrived, we use genetic engineering, technology, etc. to engineer the environment and the DNA of animals to make them experience more pleasure and less fear and suffering ("moral selection" as opposed to "natural selection" aka Darwinism). It's a way for humans to become "the best thing that ever happened to the universe". And it's the best option for finding meaning in life, because it's such a big task that it won't be solved/automated in many lifetimes, leaving everybody with nothing to do with the rest of their lives. Also, there are plenty of tasks for everybody (even dumb people) to do, like saving animals from freezing to death, gathering DNA samples of animals, etc. Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 82 Brent Von Kalamazoo (twitter.com/brentvonkzoo) Greg Sharp (twitter.com/gregsharp) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Weezer Cover Song App (Greg Sharp)

    Idea: An app which generates a computer-generated cover of any song which sounds like it was performed by the band Weezer. Because flooding the world with Weezer covers would make the whole world happy and possibly even lead to world peace, like a real-life version of the future from the movie "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 82 Brent Von Kalamazoo (twitter.com/brentvonkzoo) Greg Sharp (twitter.com/gregsharp) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)

  • Global Warming Apocalypse Party (Brent Von Kalamazoo)
    Idea: Set a deadline to fix global warming emissions, and if we fail to meet the deadline, "calling it quits for civilization", and conducting a worldwide party for a couple years, or until the food runs out. That way, everybody gets a couple years of the highest quality living, instead of slow miserable decline towards a Mad Max hell Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 82 Brent Von Kalamazoo (twitter.com/brentvonkzoo) Greg Sharp (twitter.com/gregsharp) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)
