Many of us can flex our tympanic muscles in our ears at will (r/earrumblersassemble). A wireless headphone could use the built-in microphones to detect when the wearer flexes this muscle and could translate that to an operation like play/pause/enable noise cancelling
The main advantage here is that it's a completely hands-free input method, and doesn't require the wearer to make any noise like voice controls would
The muscle could even be flexed for longer durations or twice in quick succession to be mapped to other functions.
There's probably a pretty small market for this so it's unlikely it'll ever get created, but I think the idea is interesting nonetheless
BlueSky seems to be undergoing a great success with everyone sick of Twitter flocking to it after deleting or abandoning their old profiles.
Facebook is convenient for keeping in touch with people I guess, although most of my fellow millennials stopped posting soon after college anyway, once everyone's racist aunts and uncles joined. Facebook owns Instagram now, so if you don't like one politically you're not going to like the other.
Therefore, the people that own MySpace and Flickr should revamp the sites (as far as I know MySpace is like a dead mall and Flickr has stayed the same for a decade or more), make them mobile friendly, and advertise them to former Facebook and Instagram fans. Hell, people were also getting tired of Instagram anyway from all the focus on influencers.
I think it could be really successful.
In this day and age where most of our rechargeable devices have an indicator so say 'percentage of charge' why this also can't be a switch off the charging to prevent battery damage and maybe lithium battery fires.
We should ban all stocks. Take out the stock market. Too many ceos and other ogliarchs are able to hide their wealth from taxes in these venues. Too much corruption from politicians and others. No more predictive markets, no more i make money if you fail.
I fully expect that this is a terrible idea although I’m not sure why.
For example, if I'm sending a text message and use the * italicize * shortcut in the message it will actually show as: italicized
So somehow a bunch of dudes say women all sucks, and somehow a bunch of girls say men all sucks. So why don't we lock a misogynist and a misandrist in a studio and see what will happen? We can stream their debate on Twitch or YouTube or whatever. And no, we won't invite famous people. We will randomly hand out invitation slips to notorious forums and pick two nobodies as our guest of honour.
One of those blocks that holds knives for your kitchen counter, except that you put the handles in first so all the blades are just sticking out pointing at you all the time.
Great for finding which knife you want faster, and also for accidentally cutting/sticking yourself A LOT.
It's like the regular game 99 bottles of beer on the wall... Except you play it to the tune of seasons of love and every time some one says minutes in the original lyrics you count down a bottle of beer (from 525600). You have to sing through the entire lyrics of seasons of love on repeat perfectly and verbatim (other than this change) while remembering to count down the number to the right amount or you have to start over. You are not allowed to stop singing 525600 bottles of beer on the wall until you reach zero.
Who Gives a Shit?
Step 1. Unsuspecting player rings doorbell and a trapdoor opens beneath their feet. They unwillingly fall down a narrow shoot into a very dark room where they can't see.
Step 2. Shoot the unwitting captive TV star in the juggular vein with an exlax dart with the help of night vision goggles.
Step 3. The walls fall down around the confused participant and reveals the audience of 1000 hot girls.
Step 4. Who Gives a Shit? The contender does.
Step 5. It's all streamed live on TV. Pay per view.
Step 6. You have to do it in a country where you can't get sued. That's actually step 1.

Also coming up next on Mars MTV, it's Elon Musk's hottest new reality show... Who Wants to Fuck a Cyborg?
Would save me a lot of embarrassment
Think about it, how would another team defend against masters at illusion and sleight of hand? The ball gets tucked by a rusher as they get blocked, and poof the next second it pops up in the hands of another runner breaking away for a massive gain.
Play actions would be ultra convincing and they'd always win coin flips, they'd be unstoppable.
So you set a task, such as "buy replacement lightbulbs" and you place a pin on a digital map on top of your local hardware store. You might even set multiple trigger locations and a certain activation radius. The next time you come within that radius of the hardware store, your phone begins to ring and it announces BUY REPLACEMENT LIGHTBULBS in TTS. You can then dismiss it and go to the store or tell it to snooze, in which case it will deactivate that task for two hours, and then the next time you're near the hardware store it'll do the routine again.
Also, since Google Maps doesn't give live audio directions when you're on a bus, this could be used for that system as well. HEY GET OFF THE BUS
We should put hats on fish. My FISH gerald escaped recently and I PUT A HAT on him to prevent further attempts
Just as addictive and deadly as the original, but marketers no longer downplay those aspects.
Need a pick me up? Vape some b12. Going to bed? Hit the melatonin cart
I want cigarettes but I don't want lung cancer
