Needing some original idea for College project

Hello y'all, we need to develop a somewhat complex web app for our web dev course at school that needs to use Tomcat servlets. This app needs to use a publicly available API (need not be unlimited access but still abundant requests per day) that returns new data hourly or daily and has a social aspect to it so that we can have users interactions. Lame examples include: sports news site, uni's calendar app, some original ideas include: betting on trains' schedules, etc.

Adult targeted vita-sleep-mineral-caffeine-fatty oil mixed gummy packets.

One a day was only because consuming six hard vitamins pills a day made you feel weird. Gummies are tasty, eating one or two is not satisfying, and overindulging in vitamins can cause medical issues if done regularly. So why not redesign the composition to accommodate the form factor.

Hence gummies with only one vitamin added so you get packs of 8-10 gummies that you can indulgently snack on. You can even have AM and PM packs with sleep/wake aids paired with vitamin cocktails tailored for sleep/wake.

We should have society work or go to school 3 or 4 days at most but longer hours with breaks, almost sleeping in your car or there. And being free the rest. Nine to five needs to be murdered.

Like if we could engineer society into a different collective location. It would be good I think.

Fasting really shows you what is your true energy

You know that good feeling that's present when you experience Frisson or during an ASMR session or while experiencing the Runner's High ?

Well turns out that it's been observed by people all over the world for ages and all of them have came to the conclusion that's it's basically our Vital energy/Life Force in action.

Which makes sense because when I fast, I don't have anything else in my body but I feel this activating with no effort while giving me goosebumps, Its intensity is a lot higher and I feel it "purer" kind of like really appeasing burning ice in my body.

Now, of course when fasting our body uses other sources in our body for energy but my point here is that this Life Force has been proven to be activated during many other times ( Runner's High, Voluntary Piloerection, Frisson, Prana, Qi, Tummo, Pitī ), and fasting activates it effortlessly at higher/purer levels.

You can easily learn how to consciously bring up this euphoric energy to help you during your fasts and that's only the half of it because turns out you can also do a bunch of spiritual things with it too.

Even if you're not fasting, you can definitely benefit from this, conscious activation of your Spiritual energy which is just another term for it.

You might have even felt it before, it's that blissful energy that is most easily felt and recognized with your goosebumps (but not dependent on that Physical reaction) and can be learned to be felt all over your whole body and for the duration you choose.

Different terms from all over the world for this life force are Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Chi, Qi, Runner's High, Euphoria, ASMR, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Kriyas, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

If you are interested, here are three written tutorials designed to help you clear out any blockages in your energetic pathways and going more in-depth about this energy to help you feel it everywhere, whenever you want and for the duration you choose.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

A Free energy device PR-LASER

My idea is an application of an already invented device used as a pseudo free energy device, similar to a type 2 perpetuum mobile.

What represents a free energy device or perpetuum mobile type? Is a device that extracts work from ambient temperature, or a device that doesn't need a cold and hot reservoir.

Second law of thermodynamics says that the heat spontaneous goes from hot to cold, and in order to extract work must exist a flow of heat. No flow, no work so in conclusion from ambient temperature work can’t be extracted.

A normal heat engine is W = QH - QC or heat pump that is QH = QC + W, work is needed to be used or generated.

In the case of this device that is already invented and used in a new way, it spontaneously moves heat from cold to hot or two reservoirs that have the same temperature, this device will move heat and create a gradient without work input. After the difference is formed the reservoirs can be hooked up to a heat engine to extract work, decreasing the overall system temperature.

The reason that it not breaks the second law of thermodynamics is because it transfers the heat through the negative temperature. The heat expressed as the total sum of the different aspect that keep energy, rotation, vibration, velocity at the molecular level this device spontaneously change one aspect from positive temperature in to negative temperature and the heat transfer towards hotter reservoir as radiation, and this radiation also is thought as having negative temperature. The device that is already invented and used in a new way as a free energy device is a laser. A special laser where the gain medium is pumped by the thermal radiation or the far infrared emitted by the enclosure. And if the gain medium is a gas it must be matched with the infrared flux by reducing it’s density to maintain population inversion. To maximize output, the cavity must be long and narrow, how narrow depends how much time does the medium gas stays in metastable state. It has two ways to increase it’s flux, one by increasing it’s length, secondly by focusing. It has a minimal working temperature dependent of the energy level necessary for lasing, for example, the peak emission wavelength at 300K is 9.6 microns, going bellow this in temperature the laser will stop working, so it must be designed for the minimal temperature of the environment that is working in and the trade that it has less specific power or requires to be bigger for the same energy flux.

I don’t know if other than gas for gain mediums are possible because of the thermal energy of the interactions between molecules that will disrupt the metastable state. That’s the second reason for a low pressure gas.

This in essence is a perfect refrigerator.

I call it PR LASER.

Google should replace the "I'm feeling lucky" button by a "Gemini Ai Chat" button

Google should consider replacing the "I'm feeling lucky" button by a "Gemini Ai Chat" button on the search home page. This would allow Google teams to collect more data to fine-tune Gemini and probably make OpenAI worried.

New Google search home page prototype :

Looking for 60W light bulbs which looks as close to incandescent ancestor as possinle.

I have got a Sylvania LED soft white 2700K 750 lumens from Amazon. It is still way brighter than the original old school incandescent 60W. Can't bear the brightness. The bathroom fixture has 4 bulbs and it gets too bright.

A music video that doubles as a PSA for mental health.

Basically, my idea would visibly highlight some warning signs that someone who is suffering from severe depression would put out and what to look for along with a painful reality of what can happen if said signals go unnoticed. (The characters in this music video unfortunately don't notice these signs because these signals tend to be subtle by nature)

This world can turn you into a puppet and diminish the link to your true spiritual self.

Too many people people in this world fall victim to the traps set up in society to make them lose control of their spiritual energy.

A simple definition for spiritual energy is that blissful wave that can most easily be felt/recognized as present while you get goosebumps from positive situations/stimuli.

Eventually, you can learn how to bring up this wave of euphoric energy without the physical reaction of goosebumps, feel it over your whole body and increase its duration.

That's when it becomes your spiritual energy.

It really is your spirits energy because of the many supernatural things that you can use it for, which you probably don't know yet. It has been known/documented for thousands of years in the east, is mentioned in the holy books from the three Abrahamic religions and many different cultures over the world have their own "term" for it.

Now, you might wonder, what are those traps that stop you from activating this power at the level that is needed to access your spirits abilities?

The list is considerate, from the hypnotic advertisement of detrimental substances, the "food" pushed out there, toxic sources of "energy" made to look fun consuming, the inumerable amounts of lustful content (that all originate from the plan of keeping you from ever having enough spiritual energy to access the senses from your spirit) and etc.

This energy has been researched and documented under many names like Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Chi, Qi, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Euphoria, Ecstasy, Mana, Vayus, ASMR, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Kriyas, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

If you are interested, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth about what keeps your spirits energy from amplifying, how long does it take to recover and it's many properties.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

Robot ladybugs

You can see through its eyes and control it from a computer like a video game. But it’s a physical actual thing you can put in your garden. And you can do anything a ladybug can, like fly around, maybe communicate with ants or bees, hang out on grass blades etc. And safety things should be taken care of too so it’s not used to spy on people. So you can only use it in your garden or idk how it’d be made so you cant do evil things but somehow that would be figured out. But yeah basically you get to live life as a ladybug 🐞✨

Bug repellent drink

So itd be non toxic and not harmful for humans and like all animals. But for annoying insects, like mosquitoes and flies, when you drink it, it creates like a cloud of poison for them around u. They only die if they get too close so they still have the chance to escape. But theyll leave u alone so itd be nice for summer.

Car fuels that balance each other out

I should preface by saying im not thinking realistically at all.

But the idea is: There could be several types of cars/car fuels and itd be balanced in the amount of each in world/every country. These cars all emit emissions that balance/cancel each other out.

Thered be the typical ones that mainly emit carbon dioxide. Then one that cancels that out and emits something else. And then another type that cancels that something else out and so on and so forth. So then the world would be healthier.

We probably have to start by creating healthier car emissions which is not easy ik. But if we simplify it to saying that the main issue is carbon dioxide.

I have this crazy idea called "Would you do it for a dollar?"

I have had this idea for a while and it is called "Would you do it for a dollar?"

People could ask or dare each other by asking: Would you do _______ for X dollars. At first it seems very harmless and innocent, but it could turn dark very fast. People can start asking each other to do nasty things like cutting themselves, furthermore it would be hard to filter out minors.

I always come back to this idea because it is thrilling and interesting, but too afraid to make it happen.
But maybe it can be pivoted in something useful like doing chores or something

Consult random players on game design choices

Game companies are starting to make worse and worse games, they should start consulting random players on decisions regarding balance, story, and other key aspects. Not only would the games be better, the companies would probably make more money

Drive Through Chocolate

I'm sitting here on my lunch break thinking how I'd like to pick up some chocolate after work. ('Cause it's Friday and it's been one of those weeks.) I don't want to go in the store though. I'd like to stay in my car and pull up to a little place that sells chocolate of all different forms and types. I give them my order, pay, and off I go to happily enjoy my chocolate at home with the equally delightful accompaniment of a good book. Goodbye cruel world! For a couple of hours anyway. Drive through chocolate. A girl can dream.

A mold kit to create a pacifier the shape of the mothers breast for babies who refuse traditional pacifiers.

Bottles would be an interesting option too. Many babies take traditional pacifiers but there are many that don't and families that struggle. It could be beneficial for helping tired parents soothe the baby but also reduces the risk of sids.

Hide irrelevant search results on Google and bookmark the most interesting ones

Google should let users hide irrelevant search result lines to make their own custom results page. A complementary feature would be the ability to bookmark the most interesting results. This could be implemented as a simple swipe gesture. Swipe left to hide a result or swipe right to bookmark it.

I've made a simple prototype here on my threads profile :

Learning a language through reading your favorite book

I am horrible at learning languages. I would like to be able to read a book where the first chapter is all in my language, then in the 2nd chapter a few of the words are translated into the language I'm trying to learn. Then in each successive chapter it transitions more and more to the target language.

We have a switch inside our physical body to counteract stress.

It goes unnoticed, is unknowingly activated daily by most for other reasons.

What does inspiring movie scenes, songs that move us or just human interaction with loved ones all have in common? They activate this powerful blissful energy inside of us that is commonly known as Frisson, Euphoria, Prana, Qi and can be most easily felt within us when we experience chills/goosebumps from positive events/stimuli.

This soothing energy can be learned to be activated as you please without any outside stimuli, just the simple intention of experiencing it. So imagine how helpful it can be when faced with unwanted stress/anxiety. You can even feel it over your whole body, flooding your being with its natural ecstasy and master it to the point of controlling its duration.

This has been documented, many years ago, in the eastern part of the world as they discovered that it can be made to flow through the body via channels coined as Meridians or Nadis that encompass the entire human body.

It has been researched and documented under many names like Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Chi, Qi, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Euphoria, Ecstasy, Mana, Vayus, ASMR, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Kriyas, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

Why is this important? Too many sources point us to outside substances to manage stress, as if the human body wasn't designed to be able to rely on itself for its own internal problems.

Now for some of you that say that stress is good should consider that there are two types of stress and oxidative stress has been linked to several neurological diseases (i.e., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, depression, and memory loss).

If you are interested in using your ''Frisson switch'', here are three written tutorials going more in-depth on how to control your energy and to understand where it comes from.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.

Subscription Tracker

People are signing up for subscription trials more often given all the new models and increase of remote working etc etc. However, someone like me or maybe those with ADHD or memory problems might forget, I’m terrible for it. Then… a big bill and you’re like s**t. The idea is a phone or web app that securely connects to your bank and uses AI to identify and aggregate all subscriptions you sign up for. This will then either be smart enough to know or if not, prompt you to say when the subscription renews. You can then decide for daily or the day before notifications to cancel it + option to block the retailer?

Good idea? Imagine GPT could code it?
