How deep does our biology and conditioning go?

Imagine being born into a world where people lie to you about things existing that don't. Your body can tell but your mind can't. So your brain develops the wrong reaction/feelings to certain vibration/vocalizations. Such as the phenomenon of gravitating towards the negative or avoiding "boring/good" things...

Gamified marketplace for business ideas

I came across this subreddit and thought it'd be a great place to ask for some advice and feedback. I just launched Idearr (https://idearr.com), a gamified business idea marketplace where creatives (like the ones in the subreddit) and entrepreneurs can share and buy business ideas. I'd love feedback from this group on the platform and your impression of the website and concept. If you are interested in checking out the platform, let me know if you have any feedback!

I want to start a 0% interest loan system based off a traditional African model of savings and loans

Hey everyone,

Ever wished saving money with friends or even strangers could be easier? We're thinking about a new idea and would love your thoughts!

Here's what we're thinking: Imagine a place where you and others can put your money together in a safe, easy way, The point of this is that everyone puts in money and the money goes around everyone over a period of time. If you all contribute $100 each and you're 4 ,the first month one person gets all $400, the next month another person does, it's like a $400 loan to each person but with zero interest and you get to pay $100 monthly without any formal process like in a bank but still just as safe without the weight and pressure that comes with taking bank loans. No more worrying about trust issues from partners or complicated rules from the banks also. Plus, when it's your turn to get the money back, it happens automatically! And to make sure everyone stays committed, we're thinking of adding a small deposit to the platform.

It's going to be decentralised and it will be built on the Blockchain.

We want to make saving money simple, safe, and maybe even a little fun. What do you think? Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? Your feedback means a lot to us!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Largest thing you can think of, or a greater infinity?

Imagine realities are like a cluster of frog eggs, a bubble out to the cosmic background radiation if you want.

Then if all the dreams are real, and their dreams too, but the dreams about the beginnings and ends are tricks, then you have the greatest infinity I can conceive of.

It is explosively expansive along the horizontal axis, and making the dreams about the beginnings and ends tricks it stops itself from closing off the ends into infinity. I'm considering the vertical axis to be time.

New MMORPG idea

Okok so I've been thinking a lot about this but have no skills to make it happen.

I've been thinking of a game that resembles real life Earth. On opening day all the servers will start at ancient human times, and it's up to the players to create a modern day society. This isn't going to be quick, and it'll take insane teamwork. Crafting things like wifi and Bluetooth are extremely rare and high level, so the person who did it in the server is the only one who did it and is deemed as "the inventor"

Just imagine joining a server day 1 you're in 1509 and 6 months from now you and your buddies built the world into 1999!

"How would new players join for the full experience if the server is constantly changing?"

So this may be super tricky, and take a lot of power, but everytime a new server appears, it starts at the beginning. New players will be put in new servers and you can only travel between servers at the same level.

And hey maybe once your society advances to unlock time travel you can visit all kinds of servers.

Lmk what yall think!!

Enough plastic bottles idea to reach the moon??

If there really are enough plastic bottles to reach the moon then I really want to start contributing more by cutting back on plastic use…because damn I seriously feel so bad for our planet…

My one friend has a super fancy waterdrop reverse osmosis filter that goes right under your sink and literally just dispenses perfect water, so she never uses bottles. My budget is a little tight right now but at the same time waterdrop is doing 30% their x12 RO system this week, should I do it? Does anyone else use this brand?

A Move Called Metropolis based off of DC comic's fictional city

In "Metropolis," we are immersed in an urban epic where a diverse ensemble of civilians, a vigilante, and a committed police officer unite forces with the shared objective of dismantling the pervasive corruption within the Metropolis Police Department (MPD). Fueled by the overwhelming influence of Vincent and Morgan Edge's wealth and authority, the group embarks on a perilous journey to restore justice to their beloved city. However, their mission encounters a formidable obstacle in the form of Albert Michaels, an enigmatic figure enlisted by Morgan Edge with the explicit purpose of thwarting the team's efforts. Unbeknownst to Edge, Michaels harbors clandestine ambitions of his own, poised for a bid for supremacy that threatens to further destabilize the precarious balance of power in Metropolis. As alliances shift and tensions escalate, the fate of the city hangs in the balance, teetering on the brink of upheaval and redemption.

Recycling

Michigan and Ohio are saying and doing great things! Great management! No for real. J.B. Recycling initiative Above or below the table it's up to you but it must be done.

Step 1: We need to know what people are throwing out and how to recycle them from the manufacturer itself. Red, white, blue, green, pink for all the beautiful people with cancer. Get a couple of garbage trucks full trash and dump it in a warehouse and sorte it out.

Residential of course.

Step 2: each Sanitation company will deal in different refuge. Red, blue, and so on. 3 way spirit on the cost of the separate containers. And a monthly fee to each home. It's ok for the government to pay for the upgrades. No funny business with the money you guys this is important. All that garbage is leaching into the ground water for sure and all that ends up in the sea. Make it so we can have 10 different companies running the same ethical standards of waste removal.

But start by seeing what people are throwing out and see who is making it. I'm sure they will be on board with proper planning and disposal. I'm sure they already have the proper disposal protocols in place and documents. 😉

Just an idea.

Kart racing centered amusement park

I came up with this idea years ago . The idea is of a kart racing amusement park ,something akin to Mario kart but with some unique lore and karts . There would be 25 courses with different themes over the parks the races would have the limit of 10 karts each . There will be a leaderboard that carries over to every race till your done to everyone in your party (Think of the point system at the end of Mario kart races) . The top 5 racers each get a medal 1st place-diamond 2nd-gold 3rd- rose gold 4th-silver 5-ruby. The amusement park would also have several roller coasters for the people who either are tired of driving or don’t want too. I would expect the park to be reasonably price and affordable but not cheap

An App called (out of spite) shows only the location of the bullies and criminal crimes against humanity.

An Anonymous way for a normal child or adults to report the activity of the kids or adults who blame others for their lifetime of anger.

If you run into a spiteful person or group of people you can make it on a map and add details of the bullies unnatural behavior and activities.

The database should have categories for every type of crime. The creator must see the difference between someone who blames others for their lifetime of anger issue and normal people.

This will give your local public safety group an extra tool to see the people suffering from temper disorder.

I believe 60% of all crime are unreported. 60% is a guess but it has to be at least that high. If you make billions on this idea don't forget about me.

Kidding I do this for the victims of misplaced anger. I try to have no spitefulness for anyone.

If you need more app design ideas let me know.

A type Twitter for the victims and their bullies. Based on understanding the creative process of bullies.

Categories from misplaced anger to murder. With clear description of some who blames others for the misery their anger brings them and normal people.

The creator of this app is an icon in the future.

It can't be me because I'm only a messenger. It has to be one of you with the money and know how.

This app will show the progression of a child's anger to the point of uncontrollable spitefulness for you and I.

God Speed.

Electric Pontoon Planes you can recharge with solar for deep wilderness exploration

Now that electric planes are more feasible. I really think it would be fun to fly pontoon planes to very remote places like in northern Canada, land in lakes, and recharge with solar. I know this is probably super dangerous and would mean we interfere with some untouched wilderness. But it sounds so fun to me.

Looking for fast food/ grocery brands to compare

Hello all, last year at a family get together, everyone was asked to bring foods/drinks. Some of the items were the same thing but different brands. i.e. Coke, Pepsi, A&W, Barq’s. And foods like Hostess Ho-Ho’s and Little Debbie swiss rolls. We ended up making it a fun comparison by taste testing the brands.

Me, my wife and kids ended up keeping this idea and doing it every month or so. But now. we’re running out of ideas. Any suggestions? Even if it’s a regional place I’d still like to know because we travel a lot. We’re in North Texas btw. Here’s a few we have so far!

Grocery items Colas Rootbeers Starry vs Sprite (was too late for Sierra Mist) Sunkist vs Crush Almost all of Lil Debbie, Hostess and Tasty Kake items Snoop Cereal (cinnamon) vs Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Fast food Dominos vs Pizza Hut Chick Fila sandwich vs Popeyes sandwich White Castle vs Krystal (3 times: Orlando, Kentucky and Nashville)

Magnetic Monopole

Magnetic monopoles have not been found to exist. But, I wonder if they could be created by gluing a bunch of sphere magnets into a hard non conductive spherical mold, the exterior of which is composed of half sphere sockets.

Blockchain voting

With the rise of voter fraud or in better words, rise in documenting voter fraud and blatant rigged russian elections. What is everyones opinion on blockchain voting? everyone would register with their social security number and have unique ID on the chain and could vote on referendums, elections etc at basically no cost to taxpayers like setting up booths, sending mails... The system would work roughly in this way, every citizen registered gets ''1 vote'' which is basically currency on blockchain so the transaction goes through (a gas fee) and then to cast a vote they send that 1 vote to the person they vote for aka a wallet. This decentralized holding of currency (aka vote) would make the chain incredibly secure and one block would be mined roughly at election closing time, validating all votes that were cast in time, giving another vote for the next voting period.

Ladies, would you buy this?

Personal Caddy

The product is a personal caddy that hangs on the side of a household toilet tank to hold a supply of feminine products. The personal caddy would have a hanger that hangs over the toilet tank beneath the tank cover and extends down one side of the tank at approximately shoulder length for easy access. It would be slender and attractive and have a hinged lid that could be easily flipped up to access products. The caddy would be vertically rectangular and be fabricated of recyclable plastic or other materials and come in various designs, such as contemporary, modern, vintage, shabby chic, etc. They would come in a variety of colors and may have three dividers to hold tampons, pads, and panty liners. The hanger would need to be of a thin gauge, flat, approximately 1.5 in. wide, and possibly be fabricated out of coated metal to match the caddy. It would look similar to an over-the-door wreath holder. It would hang over the toilet tank beneath the lip of the tank cover and it would extend down to the caddy and clip sturdily to the back.

The Thought Eater

John stared blankly at his computer screen, the glow of the monitor reflecting off his glazed eyes. He had been sitting at his desk for hours, methodically inputting data into endless spreadsheets. It was mind-numbing work, but he didn't dare let his mind wander.

You see, John's job at SoulSuck Corp was more than just a paycheck. It was a ravenous, thought-eating entity that burrowed into his brain, devouring any stray musings or creative inklings that dared arise. Exploring new ideas or pursuing interests outside of work was tantamount to starving the entity - and an underfed thought eater could turn vicious.

John had seen it happen before. Colleagues who took night classes or dove into hobbies found key procedures and protocols slipping from their minds. Crucial data and formulas were forgotten, angering the capricious thought eater lurking within their consciousness. One missed deadline, one botched report, and they were out on the street.

So John kept his head down and his mind focused solely on the monotonous tasks before him. No distractions, no daydreams. Just numbers, figures, and the relentless churning of the corporate machine. His life outside of work was a blank slate, his personality slowly eroded by the insatiable maw of his employment.

Some nights John would wake in a cold sweat, terrified that he had accidentally conceived an original idea in his dreams and would be consumed from the inside out. But the fear kept him obedient, kept him productive. He was trapped, a willing host for the parasitic thought eater that was his career.

And as John watched his youth and vitality wither away in the fluorescent-lit office, a part of him wondered... was this truly life? Or just a waking nightmare, where creativity and wonder were sacrificed at the altar of soul-crushing productivity?

I've had a few 80s-90s mimicking toyline ideas

Snack attack: a somewhat modern remake of food fighters, the meal times fight the foul frozen with their playsets and vehicles using condiments as ammunition, prototypes for some figures, vehicles and a playset have been made

Cave critters: basically smaller slug like boglins

Wave warriors: like street sharks, but they fight other creatures like a New Yorker electric Eel and a sword fish, even a giant trash island monster

Space cats: My sister came up with these, a bunch of space cadets like the marines from Alien, and they fight against an army of alien dogs like the Aliens from simpsons

Lil' mutants: ever wondered what a mix of beanie babies and David cronenbergs the fly would be like? Well, that's basically lil' mutants.

I think I have created a somewhat decent solution to solve/stop doomscrolling social media

I was on a walk today (last day home b4 i go back to college during spring break) and I thought of an idea to use a controller joystick touch thing that I had for a long time originally used to play mobile games on a much older iphone til i found an old fling smartphone joystick controller, if anyone rememerbs that, so what i did was i used the little suction cups on the bottomn of the fling controler stuck them onto my iphone where i'd normally place my thumb without thinking to scroll and then put another little joystick nub on top of it and now just trying to hold the thing together with a rubberband to make some little kind of slingshot mechanism to stop scrolling. I wish I could show but its on my main iphone and would like rly goofy and silly to show and upload an image here. but thats my idea. It's only a personal project for now for my own benefits but who knows. Maybe in the future if i show my idea to enough people or i just open my own buisness and start mas producing it and selling it and making money maybe even more people will stop scrolling on any socila media app and it will force them to go outside in the real world more and not be on their phone as much. Hopefully i explained enough and thought it was a cool idea. Thats it.

Thanks.

We shouldn't encourage immigration / emigration

But rather to develop places and avoid concentrating people in one specific area (As to avoid overpopulation, since you can't let people immigrate indefinitely, you end up with a gazillion people and the whole country blows up before you know it).

Our Dna came from a different planet

This is on the basis of information found here:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk8vc_1MCV6ptP-0GhgxMcaXwh2UglcUy&si=8jK00hXVdLhEEQ2M

In reality who knows how life began to grow for certain, but an idea i have is that within the universe our DNA ( All of the DNA on earth) Came from a destroyed planet life has existed many times before yet with many happenings such as asteroids, meteors, sun deaths etc..., what ever we were before (if so) evolved DNA to the point we can actually survive on any planet it just takes an immeasurable amount of time to develop and regrow "evolve"...

Prop firm trading vs Sport betting

According to statistics, more than 90% of prop forms users fail, do you think if there was a similar industry in the field of sports betting, wouldn't the statistics be better? What do you think?

Does anyone know if such a thing exists?
