  • Text Editor That Only Allows Words From Language Translation Databases (Tom Walma)
    Apr 3 2026

    Idea: A text editor that enables exact language translation of text by only allowing you to type words contained in a series of small language translation databases (basic words, words related to a particular business, etc.) Also: there would be no need for AI to make guesses regarding language translations; it'd take longer to write because if you wanted to use a word that wasn't in one of the translation databases you'd have to figure out a different way to say what you want to say; the translation databases could be transmitted as an attachment with the email or text file

  • Tornado Lights (Tom Walma)
    Mar 27 2026

    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)

  • Alliance of Lazy Substitute Teachers (Melissa Brandt)
    Mar 23 2026

    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

  • Nose Ring Prank (Heather VanGheluwe)
    Mar 15 2026

    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

  • Stadium Cable Cars and Ferris Wheels (Tom Walma)
    Mar 8 2026

    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

  • Social Media Positivity Filter or App (Kate Doré)
    Mar 2 2026

    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)

  • Pawn Shop Cartoon (Dave Jones)
    Feb 25 2026

    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.

  • New Noah's Ark Livestream TV Show (Turbulence Tyme)
    Feb 18 2026

    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
