Randoman Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 In this thread, rate the above poster's ridiculous invention, and come up with a ridiculous invention of your own. The rating can be a practicality rating, a humour rating, or you can do a separate rating for both (though if you're sticking to one of the former two, please state or make it clear if you're doing a practicality or humour rating). Also, please keep your invention ideas safe for work. And don't make an invention that subtly or non-subtly bashes on an existing product, company, or person. As an example: - - - - - - - - - - - Poster 1: Fruit flavoured socks. - - - - - - - - - - - Poster 2: Practicality: 2.5/10 Eww... Humour: 7/10 It's ridiculous and amusing enough. A wasp vacuum, which is specifically meant to vacuum up wasps and kill them, and can even work on entire wasp nests. - - - - - - - - - - - Poster 3: 9.3/10 I want 5 of them, especially with how often wasps sting me. (note: even though they're not specifying it's a practicality rating, their comment heavily implies it, so that's okay) A cell phone that successfully replicates the bad breath of the person you're talking to. - - - - - - - - - - - I guess I'll start with the same ridiculous invention I posted for the example: A cell phone that successfully replicates the bad breath of the person you're talking to.

SoulWeaver Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hm. The real question is, does it still replicate breath if said breath isn't bad? Also, whose definition of bad breath are we using here? Anyways, my rating overall would probably be like 2 out of 10 - it'd make me hate phone calls even more, but on the other hand I talk to literally nobody on the phone and would just use this as another device to play FEH on. A device that summons characters from games/history/books into your world, allowing you to obtain multiple copies of your favorite heroes, villains, and in-betweens, building anything from a private army to your own personal harem since everyone you summon is for some reason super chill with anything you have them do. We'll call it...how about...Breidablik? A device that can be used to predetermine your own dreams, effectively allowing you to decide what you'll dream before you go to sleep - want to dream about terrorizing the world atop your personal giant spider steed? Check. Want to dream about being the very best, like no one ever was? Check. Want to dream about having your own personal harem of your favorite game characters? Uh, no, didn't you read the 'Safe For Work' restriction above? Go dream about sandwiches or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florina's #1 Fan Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hmm... as much as I'd like to predetermine my own dreams, at the same time, there's something more fun about going to sleep not knowing what strange things will fill your head before you wake back up. Not to mention if I got to determine what dreams I had, I'd never want to wake up, my life would spiral into an endless cycle of eating and sleeping until I died from a multitude of health problems 10/10 for originality 6/10 for the potential risk of driving the many users of the device into a perpetual need to sleep instead of accomplishing anything, but it still sounds fun while you have a grip on your sanity How about a mouse that has the nagging voice of an overbearing mother, that speaks up to judge your search history and tells you about that one time her sister got her identity stolen because she clicked on a blue link, without specifying what link it was, so just don't click any of them, okay? The internet is bad anyway, it rots your brain, go play outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMEDIA Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Practicality: 0/10 this invention would piss me off if I had to deal with it. Humor: 7/10 I guess it would be good as a gag gift How about a microwave that talks dirty to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSpeed Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 9/10 improves my hot pocket eating experience This is a great one here- You know how they make pre-faded and pre-ripped jeans?

Dragoncat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 3/10 I actually cut up my socks when I was a stupid kid and it was horrible. A smoke alarm that shuts off when you yell "I'm just cooking!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoncat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 A whatless hole? Uh...5/10 because holes in the ground don't usually have condoms in them anyway? Bowties for fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMEDIA Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 9/10 A giant transformer that could turn into a gun (which is something I don’t think they ever do anymore; the original Megatron was a gun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Glacies Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 6/10; Cool idea, but unless the gun is really small (and by extension, the transformer as well) it would be quite impractical. Goggles that invert color. (E.g. blue becomes orange, black becomes white, green becomes red, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulWeaver Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 8.5/10 I've always wanted to see the world like that. A device that allows you to autofix incorrect grammar/word usage(their/there/they're). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 10/10, everyone could use it A device that gives you comedy advice (I'm tired and watching Sienfeld, this is the best I can come up such short notice) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 8/10, could be useful for people wanting to get into stand up comedy. Underwear that change to the same color of whatever pants you're wearing at the time. When not wearing them, they retain the color of the pants you last wore.

Re: The weirdo. Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 that sounds like about a 7/10, mostly because i cant think of a single instance of when the colour of my underwear has mattered, but it sounds nifty a video game controller that increases input lag in direct proportion to the amount of salt you have while playing.

The Roger The Paladin Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 10/10. I'd give buy a box of them and give them as gifts to youtubers (who I can't specify because of the rules). A Waluigi game where instead of actually doing anything adventurous or heroic, you sort of go around Waluigi's Apartment block and set traps for other residents/steal from them and otherwise be a jerk. Luigi's Mansion... meet Waluigi's Apartment Complex. And no, it won't help him get in Smash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Naut Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sounds like a bigger bicycle. 8/10 for practicality 1/10 for originality A collar that can be remotely activated to (harmlessly) neutralize the wearer's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceRibbon Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 2/10. Maybe helpful in extreme cases, but would ultimately have massive repercussions on the social and mental health of our society, especially if it's repeatedly used by several people to repel the same person. A helmet that can style your hair so that you don't have helmet head when you take it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
