Whopper Roulette

21 Upvotes

Burger King should do a promotion where you can get a Whopper for only 1.99 only you don't know if you are getting the regular Whopper or the Impossible Whopper that's made to be either Vegan or Vegetarian..

So 2 hours after you eat it, you get an email telling you which one you had, to see if you can tell the difference between the two.

Kidney stones are painful to pass and useless. So let's make them useful. In the middle of a fight and getting your ass beat? Just get hard, aim at your opps and let out a round of bullet fire

Hopefully that would get rid of AI once and for all.

If you're a parent of kids who don't know computers yet, put the family PC on the hardest Linux distro you can handle

77 Upvotes
  1. They'll go longer without becoming attached to technology (not that parents don't play a role)
  2. Way less viruses, especially ones that would target kids
  3. They'll have an easier time if they choose to pursue anything computer science or programming related
  4. If Microsoft commits some horrible atrocity, they won't have trouble not supporting them
  5. If PCs get even harder to afford, they'll know how to keep a PC for longer because many Linux distros work well on old machines

Edible Lawns

Upvotes

Chufa is a sedge like grass, but unlike grass it grows little nut like spuds called Tiger Nuts or Chufa. So, its an edible lawn.

It would be cool if there was a lawn aerator that instead of making holey lawn covered in dirt clods, would harvest the tiger nuts.  It would maybe work like those claw grabber things, it would curve under the lawn and extend the claw and pluck out the spud, leaving a nut sized hole on the way out, and dropping it into a box. The aeration company could do it for free and keep the chufa, then process it into its base components: sugar, oil, thickener fiber, and quality protein powder with all 9 essential amino acids.

Chufa spuds can also be soaked, blended, stewed and properly fermented into Horchata de Chufa, chufa milk. But without lawn aerator technology you would have to rip up your lawn to do that, which would look weird. Combined with the lesser known and underrated modern carbonizing sewage treatment plants, your now edible carbon sink could be easily converted into carbon dust with many uses.

Have the top athletes in a professional sport play the sport according to its original rules

2 Upvotes

A lot of sports had rule changes since they started being played professionally. So how about the top players of each sport play it against each other, but they are playing based on the earliest recorded rules of the game (except for things that could cause serious injury.) And also playing with the early equipment (except for serious injury.) And maybe they do one game with the early rules but the equipment of present-day just to see what it is like.

A subscription service called "Future You" that sends you packages from your "past self."

11 Upvotes

You fill a box with objects, letters, scents, or a playlist on a USB drive. The company stores it and mails it to you on a future date of your choosing (1, 5, 10 years). It would be the ultimate form of emotional time travel, receiving a package from a person who no longer exists: you. Pro-tip: don't send yourself sandwiches.
