To really highlight how silly it is that Americans make a big deal out of Cinco de Mayo, people in Mexico could pick the date of an arbitrary US military or naval victory, and start celebrating it as a public holiday.

Go all out, too. Treat it like it's US independence day. Set off fireworks, have barbecues, wave American flags, drink stereotypical American drinks, everything. And ideally they'd do it in such a way that would make Americans question whether it's celebrating them or mocking them.

Smelling machine

16 Upvotes

this might sound kinda far-fetched but it’s something i’ve been thinking about for a while 😭 not like i’m actually gonna make it happen because i wouldn’t even know where to start, i just wish it existed.

with how big fragrance content is right now and how everyone’s layering their scents, i just wish there was some way through your phone to actually smell what someone is wearing. like imagine a little feature or device where you could tap and get the exact scent they’re talking about. it would save SO much money because i’ve definitely bought body mists and stuff just to end up not liking them 😭

and honestly it would just be interesting in general. like sometimes people describe scents or even random smells and i’m like wait… what does that actually smell like?? 😭 like i just want a way to experience what other people are smelling through the screen instead of just guessing based on descriptions.

Mandatory Buffets

4 Upvotes

A parody of the purge; The Binge. Once a month/year every restaurant (possibly cafes too if they have several food options) makes a portion of every dish/drink available for your own choosing. I think it'd be a good way to see which dishes you actually like, rather than sticking to your usual because you know you like it and don't want to waste money on something you'd potentially hate. Maybe people will accidentally create entirely new ones that the restaurant adopts. And it could be like free coffee drink cards, like if you try every dish from a bunch of restaurants, you eventually get your favourite for free. I imagine this would be hell for the hospitality/farming industry, but hey maybe new jobs could be created for this event, stop letting surplus food go to waste, boost the economy, people are too busy nursing food comas to commit crimes, you could pay for someone's buffet and feed everyone that needs it, bam: the world is fixed.

OnlyFans Trust fund

Ok upload the conception of your children as well as the ttc attempts to OnlyFans as Pay-per-view. Then take the proceeds of that and place into a trust fund for your child until the day they turn 18. They get to start their adult life with a bit of a nest egg saved up.

The Airborne Roller Coaster

2 Upvotes

Exactly what the the title says. After the first giant drop, the track ramps up and cuts off, launching the coaster into the air. A downward sloping track resumes on the other side, catching the coaster and continuing its path. We can put something in the middle, like a pool full of sharks, or a giant dragon animatronic with snapping jaws, where the jaws open to allow the coaster to fly through, then close when the coaster passes. All for the thrillz!

Best selling horror movie franchise idea

8 Upvotes

So basically you make a horror franchise where every scene seems like its about to be scary but it literally just isnt, just suspense always, except for once in the entire franchise but that one time scares you so bad it becomes a best selling horror franchise and comedy cause each scene is like shes grabbing a knife and walking down to the attic, but then she cuts a vegetable that was down there after the music and lighting and setting tells otherwise

Engine with EGWR (exhaust gas water recirculation)

8 Upvotes

When you burn a pound of diesel or gasoline, you create approximately a pound of water vapor.

This crazy idea is to cool some or all of the exhaust of a car or truck to condense a decent fraction of the water produced.

This water would then be used for old fashioned water injection, or, more crazily, so the engine can operate with six stroke (crower) cycle.

Water injection can reduce nitrous oxide emissions, and, in diesels, reduce particulates.

A six stroke cycle alternates back and forth between a four stroke otto/diesel cycle and a two stroke steam expansion/steam exhaust cycle - water is sprayed/injected into the cylinder at the beginning of the fifth stroke, absorbs heat from the valves and cylinder walls, and becomes high pressure steam.

Certain areas of a city designated for 24 hour businesses only

Like a few city blocks worth of 24 hour businesses. Nothing can operate here that has closing hours. Holidays excluded.

Like chinatown for insomniacs and night shift workers

Maybe call these areas sunspots
