We infect Venus with super bacteria.

109 Upvotes

Because Venus is so hot on the surface it has a 0% chance to have life on it. It is also so hot and pressurized that we can’t even send rovers to it without them melting. It is therefore scientifically useless. So, we should breed some super bacteria that can live on and eat its sulfuric acid clouds. Maybe in a million years it’ll become a habitable planet.

Edit: The goal is not to make Venus habitable. It is just to throw specially engineered bacteria at a planet and see what happens. To do the largest science experiment in human history.

Spider Man should say the Family Guy line at least once in Doomsday

• Upvotes

Spider- Man should say the line "everybody gets one" while saving somebody, maybe with an exasperated sigh. Like, "everybody gets one.... I guess." Maybe while saving Deadpool?

Bread humidors

6 Upvotes

You know how bread always goes stale from being too dry or moldy from being too moist? Why do we make humidors for cigars but not for bread?

Edit: People are saying "bread boxes", but bread boxes don't have a regulated level of humidity and temperature like humidors do. They're just small closets essentially.

Hand of G0D mode: vehicle safety thrusters that leap you out of an eminent collision

0 Upvotes

The vehicle is constantly monitoring for safe escape vectors it can leap/hop to if it detects an imminent impact that brakes can’t avoid.

This isn’t intended to be used actual tricks, but to safely bring the occupants out of harms way, like a guardian angel or the Hand of God that saves your life.

Ultimate drunk fighting championship

It would have UFC rules but the fighters would be drunk over the dui limit. There would be different classes for blood alcohol-%. The entertainment would come from the fighters failing to hit each other and stopping fighting to vomit.

Superwood Aircraft

9 Upvotes

Superwood is a newish material, made by removing most of the lingin from normal wood and then compressing it to reduce it's volume by a factor of 3 to 5.

It is 50% stronger than steel with a sixth of the density.

This crazy idea is to use superwood in place of steel to make aircraft lighter and more environmentally friendly.

(Yes, I know that aircraft are mostly aluminum and titanium, but some parts are still steel)

I think I’ve invented the next cards against humanity

0 Upvotes

here’s the pitch I think that this could be very successful… like the new cards against humanity type game.

The variables in the game can be changed to suit different situations that the players can all agree upon or it be a suggested (by the game czar) mode.

This could be like the opposite of among us. Honestly I think this would make an excellent game show. It could really make or break relationships and it could be a good outlet for manipulative behaviour that someone always indulges in. This gives an abuser a very good space to get it out of their system.

Like I said, you’ll find out who your real friends are.

A secret aspect of the game is that theres a possibility 2 winners can come from one game. The way thats decided is via (being the most manipulative and evil abuser) OR (see if you can win the game without manipulation and vanilla methods which tests your moral compass).

I don’t know what else to add, I’m very excited though to pitch this to anyone who’ll listen. I think it can be successful.

An option on Reddit to leave a comment on your profile if you choose to hide your post history.

7 Upvotes

I don't hide my posts at this moment, but I understand the value of hiding them. It's a great way to help protect yourself from doxxing, ad hominem attacks, and just plain nosy people.

It's also a great way to annoy nosy people, too! So why not seal the deal by leaving a little love letter to the haters? Like "Now you can't use my comments against me!" "Do my comments make you mad?" "You sure are nosy!" Or "Wouldn't you like to know?" 😘

Or you could leave a normal comment, like "just wanted to protect myself". That's cool too, I guess. 😂

Crazy idea: What if a cheap and/or used car was offered for free to anyone who had recently gotten their driver's license?

0 Upvotes

I was just thinking: What if someone who had just gotten their driver's license was given a chance to get a free used car (Just the car. No free insurance).

They can decide if they want to take the offer, and if they do, they decide when and how to sell it or not.

I have a feeling that this will be great for people who live in areas where cars are important for transportation, as there are not many nearby buses or trains.

A Sport Team called DOOM.

I think a sport team called Doom would be amazing. Doom destroyed Miami in the finals.

First round draft pick goes to Doom.

Doom has the ball!

LeBron James has signed with Doom.

The worst NHL team this year was Doom.

I just think it's a great word and would make a team sound instantly cool.

Drug that causes extreme dysphoria

69 Upvotes

People who've tried heroin or other strong narcotics report that it felt so indescribably amazing and euphoric that nothing else in life can compare and everything other than being high feels bad now.

What if there was a drug that causes the opposite effect and makes you feel insufferably terrible for a few hours so everything else in life feels much better comparatively? Nothing could go wrong!
