Quit Your Day Job

7 Upvotes

(Inspired by single use chairs)
Each day at the end of the work day, you announce “I quit!”. You start work the next day at a new job. No resume, education, experience, or interview is necessary. You just show up and they have to let you work there because all their employees would have quit the day before. Eventually everyone will be skilled to do everything. All the salaries are averaged, and everyone is paid the same amount.

A Bone Conduction Toothbrush That Plays Music While You Brush

6 Upvotes

There are already devices you can bite down on that transmit sound vibrations through your teeth and jaw, allowing you to listen to music without traditional headphones. Some glasses use a similar bone-conduction technology.

So here's the crazy idea…

Why not build that technology directly into a toothbrush?

Imagine brushing your teeth while listening to your favourite songs through vibrations transmitted through your teeth and jaw.

Make your morning routine more fun, turn a boring chore into a mini concert, and maybe even encourage people to brush for the full two or more minutes!

The technology already exists in other forms.

Broke people would get the most money, followed by working class getting slightly less, then middle class slightly less, etc. followed by the billionaires being forced to give up a vast majority. This ensures that all humans are on the same playing field.

If my dinner has a second job, it should help pay for itself

100 Upvotes

Chinese food after work sounded like a good idea. Opened the fortune cookie that came with it and found an ad on the fortune. Who looked at that tiny piece of paper and thought “we could monetize this”? Fine but let me hand it back for a dollar off. If my dinner comes with advertising, I want a cut.

Anesthetics are routinely used to prevent patients from becoming violent on the operating table. If it works for preventing patients undergoing surgery from behaving violently, could it also be delivered by dart gun or blowpipes to suspects for the same purpose?

Single-use chairs

0 Upvotes

Bums can be dirty so sitting on chairs can spread dirtiness cos the muck can get through undies and pants. So let's create and industry, economy and world where it is normal for chairs to be single use only.

Cushions are easy-ish to be single use and these are sometimes used on chairs but not always. Lots of wooden, plastic and metal chairs don't use cushions.

Imagine how many jobs we'll create from single-use chairs! Imagine the technologies we'll develop from researching and developing single use chairs! All environmentally friendly of course! Imagine buying weekly pack of single use chairs just like you would a bag of tomatoes.

Start a men’s haircut trend - ‘the crooked hair piece’

5 Upvotes

Get a haircut that looks like a bad toupee that is being worn crooked. Maybe dye the hair piece just a slightly bit different shade than the sideburns and sides of head as well.

Just to clarify - there is absolutely nothing wrong with men wearing a hair piece. This is going for a poorly matched, poorly fitted one.

Open a bar called "5 Years Sober" you can say to your buddies that you're almost to 5 years sober. Or I'm happy to say I'm now at 5 years sober.

Addiction isn't funny, but sometimes bars have funny names. Right?
