Lately I've been having very realistic dreams and it's driving me crazy. For example, the other night I dreamt that I was eating a very good candy bar and I woke up with my phone in my hand ready to take a bite out of it and wondering where in h3ll did my candy bar go? It's not always about eating something. One time I'm out dancing with a most handsome man and waking up looking for him! Can't remember his name though. If I could, then I would track him down and demand to know why he took me home and left without so much as a good-bye. Some people have no manners at all!

How about a wheelchair with a built in extendable ramp so you always can get up things. It can have a sensor so it will detect any issues that could be dangerous. You can also click a button and it will scan the area in front and determine the height of the ramp need. And it could have a motorized stair climber, maybe, for more steep stairs? I feel like this should exist already.

As you can see, I've had issues. And landlords don't care unless they live on the property and have to deal with it themselves. But even in houses, this might be nice to block out the noise from next door neighbors rev'ing their motorcycle engines all the time or fighting, traffic noises, etc. Earplugs are not enough.

There are plenty of speech-to-text apps out there. I would prefer a device that can see the images in your mind and can draw them for you.

I feel like that would help writers a lot to write out the way you're trying to convey something without having to be taken out of that headspace to physically type. Drawing images could help with victims of crime in getting accurate images of the criminals instead of doing sketches by police artists. It could also help creative people in designing to be able to see exactly what they are imagining if they can't draw well.

which fears are irrational though, and how would you determine which are in fact irrational and which are not? For example, I am far less worried about the chinese than I am about USA. I base this relative risk assessment on the quantity of invasions of other countries over time since 1945. Various figures point to around 84 territories. China I think it's a part of india, tibet, and debatably Hong Kong (but was a voluntary handover from UK). So... max three I think. So what is rational to fear?

The problem is, China hasn't actually invaded other countries in a conventional way, but they are purchasing vast extensions of land in Africa and South America, which they will use for God only knows what. They are also acquiring all the knowledge and patents, and they have nearly all the factories of key components, such as microchips. They do not need to invade anything. They are already the owners of the world, or they will be very soon.

What I mean is they're going to be cheaper instead of buying multiple mugs with different colors/quotes/whatever, you could buy only like 3 so you would have 6 designs. Do you get my point?

So like those two sequin pattern shirts or pillows or reversible blankets?

Reversible mugs? I have coffee mugs and glasses at home that I wash on a daily basis and never throw away. I have a thermos I use when I take drinks from home.

I want something so we can go back to being unreachable every once in a while. I hate whenever i go out for a something with friends or whatever people can still reach me all day. Especially with your work or my gf. She has a tendency to message the whole day to know what I'm doing. And if I don't respond its drama. Just go back to being unreachable at times.

Homeopathy is a scam on two counts. 1. The premise it’s based on is nonsense and non scientific. 2. The “medicines” created often don’t have one molecule of the original substance left after all the mixing. (One drop, mixed with 100 drops of water. One drop of that, mixed with 100 drops of water, etc , 60 or 100 times!) lLook at the disclaimers on the bottles! Google the subject. Interesting reading!

Too bad most people have no understanding of Homeopathy. It should be the first remedy to be tried for any ailment since it is totally non-invasive. If it doesn't work, no harm done. Then go to something like herbs next. Treating with Pharmaceuticals should be the very last resort! Fat chance in this country though when the drug cartels have such a stranglehold on our health care system.

I've currently been wrapping my head around how to create a cup that can stir itself and is also safe to wash up and is kid friendly. Obviously just a Vacuum space with some wiring in it to a switch would work semi well but it's all about making sure whatever you are drinking can't fall through the gaps you need to leave to make the parts move. Also I don't want to use blades like a blender because 1: kids will get their hands in it and 2: It's not a blender. So I'm thinking some sort of Dome shape should work and when activated it spins and creates that Whirlpool effect in the cup. Making stuff like Tea, Coffee, my own recipe Hot Chocolate, Milkshakes etc would be so much easier and I wouldn't need to take a spoon out with me to enjoy watching it while I stir it. But anyway I digress, I'm working on that myself Something I have no idea how to make that I really want is an app for your phone (My phone Snapdragon is my ultimate life assistant) that uses your camera as eyes so when you point it at stuff it tells you all you need to know. So if there is something you can't read while you are on holiday in another country, just point your phone at it and your phone will use the camera to see it and translate it for you. If you see someone have a minor accident like a bump to the head that has a bit of bleeding then you point your phone at it and it tells you what to do. If it's way more serious then it automatically calls emergency services. If you are in the woods or something just for fun then you can point your phone at stuff like plants and it'll tell you what they are and wether you should avoid them or not. If you get lost then it'll give you a map with an arrow saying "go this way". You could use it as GPS that's actually reliable and detects road works and diversions and road collisions so you don't get in a journey and then have to U-turn without some voice saying "You are going the wrong way" or "you missed your turning" which makes me want to physically attack it. If you had an argument then you can input what's happened so far and it'll give you a few suggestions to solve it maturely and help you and whoever you are arguing with to overcome it. I just think it'd be nice and also as a shop worker I see a lot of people do really dumb things and I think it's becoming more of a necessity than a luxury

There is a metal bar in a normal cup. The cup sits on a base with a rotating magnet, which attracts the bar and makes it rotate as well. Completely leak-proof and safe.

A system for recycling certain types of plastic. When you’re done with something made of plastic, you dump it into a bin which is connected to a chute that’s connected to a 3d printer. If anything is broken, the plastic can be used to fix it from the 3d printer

Oh…mine feels dumb now and I’m late but an app that you can make your own fonts with. So liek, you’d write the alphabet in the style you want, scan it, title it and now you have the exact font you wanted. I think it could be fun, I would be able to fool my teachers into thinking I hand wrote things, I could make my docs more fun and I think I would make it so you could even type in code or something. Of course I wouldn’t know how to accomplish this so.. feel free to steal my million dollar idea (kind of kidding because it’s not that cool but also do steal it if this is in your skill set

Reusable diapers that are as easy to use as disposable ones. I never dared to try reusable ones because everyone I know who used them said they were a mess and that EVENTUALLY you'd get used to use them. Also, I'd like it if they could invent a new SoMe platform that was more text-based than photo-/video based. I loved Livejournal a lot back in the day. Also, listography.com as an android app. That would make me sooooo happy ❤

How has no one mentioned a magic pill to keep you thin/healthy or get rid of fat? That would literally be my number one wish. To be able to eat whatever I wanted without worrying it would make me fat or that I would ever have to exercise again unless I wanted to. And I would because I wouldn't have so little energy anymore that going for a walk would be nice and not a painful struggle. No more fat shaming people. No more knee, back and general pain for fat people. No more health issues stemming from an unhealthy diet- your body would turn anything you eat into healthy conversions. The end of 80% of heart disease, diabetes, blood clot issues, etc. The end to a lot of body issues for so many people (not all but a lot). It would be a miracle, for me anyway.

A sausage gün for pizzas. The cook loads it with a tube of ground sausage, and it shoots out little balls of sausage onto a pizza being made. The only stipulation is that is has to make a silly farting noise each time it produces a meatball. A must have at your local pizza joint!
