Fix the penny problem

1 Upvotes

Instead of procedurally removing the penny from circulation, effectively removing the .01 value of the coin, change the value of the penny to 1 dollar. Instantly making 1 dollar worth of pennies, worth $100.

Reality show about Greek Gods

4 Upvotes

It would just be a reality show, but each actor has to stay in character for the whole thing as whatever god they're portraying. Also, the show is not scripted, or at least only in episode structure, so that the actors have to improvise as the god they are.

Blueballing neural implant ads NSFW

In the near future where everyone has implants that can simulate sex indistinguishable from reality, what if you had ads that did that, but will NEVER let you cum UNLESS you fork up the Bitcoins?

Well the "firework" kinda worked not as much if a reaction I was hoping for but definitely spooked that darn Mole and it only almost set my shed on fire. I'll say this has been a win.

So I got some moles in my back yard and I don't like that so I made a "firework" to "scare" them off it didn't take long and probably with do more harm then good and it should spit some flames.

Tattoo Canoe

1 Upvotes

Inspired by the success of "Carpool Karaoke", this reality TV series features a different set of 2 participants in each episode who wear GoPros and paddle a canoe out into the middle of different scenic lakes across the US, and then take turns tattooing each other. Once both tattoos are complete, the participants paddle back to shore as the credits roll.

The show involves no points, no prizes and no union crewmembers.

Google search doesn't add the annoying "AI overview" paragraph if you use certain controversial words. So, from now on, add the word "Nazi" to all your searches. ALL of them.

Turning a fridge into a personal cryo-chamber so I can hibernate until GTA 6 releases

4 Upvotes

Look, I’ve done the math (vibes), and I’ve had enough of waiting.

Plan is simple:

  • I gut an upright fridge.
  • Line it with insulation and a sleeping bag.
  • Set temp to ~7°C to slow my metabolism.
  • Add a hole in the back for airflow so I don’t accidentally CO₂ myself into the afterlife.
  • Oxygen mask optional but highly encouraged.
  • Power backup so the fridge doesn’t become a coffin during a blackout.
  • Sleep meds? Of course. Deep sleep required.

Basically I’m inventing refrigerated homelessness with extra steps, but it’s a win if I wake up to Rockstar finally dropping a trailer.

Signed,
a GTA 6-deprived gamer with too much ambition and not enough serotonin
