Hey ho, boyos and girlos,
Have you ever had an idea that was completely radical? Maybe one that had you thinking for hours, days, even weeks, about how you could make it a reality?
I have ideas like this all the time, but I want to hear all sorts of great thoughts from other people.
The idea here is to talk about cool dreams or ideas you've had. They can be as practical or as ridiculous as you like, it's all good here. Other people can then offer input, feedback, fart jokes, anything at all.
It doesn't matter if you're talking about the benefits of making free energy from your masturbation habits, or speculating about the practicality of manufacturing gloves made of real human skin. Everyone's welcome!
I'm hoping to hear lots of great ideas from all of you.

Yes, I do.

Ehehehahahahooo hooohooooooooooooo!
If you input the physical likeness of a celebrity, is that a licensing issue or is it public domain?

That's the greatest idea since...oh, yeah

I think it's just the next level of porn. I would imagine there are legal issues with faking celebrity nudes, so there'd probably be issue with celebrity holograms.
I mean, you can't make an action figure of a celebrity without paying licensing fees, right?
So's your face.

My face is one of the paste's key ingredients.
That sounds like a Steven Wright joke.
Sadly I didn't get far enough to actually make my product, but I still have all the stuff I would need if I want to go through the process of getting a patent
If it's an exact duplicate and I use the name. What if I go full rip off though. Change the name a bit or whatever character.
These are ethical questions that we need to address before we get to the point as a society in which we're humping light constructs in a digital 3-D movie room.
Also, there needs to be a way to steam clean a holodeck between uses, because damn I'd hate to be like the 10th person using it that day.

Close, it's Demetri Martin.

make sure to put ™© next to your ideas
okay now I'm ready to share my buttalyzer™ 3000© with the world (re: se++)
IPO starts at twelve bucks

It's my understanding that when the holodeck shuts down, it kinda acts like a replicator in reverse, reconstituting any left over "matter" into energy and then using it elsewhere.
So like, Rom doesn't have to go mop out the holosuite, because you're getting the fluids fed back to you on a molecular level in that nice Andorian brandy you're sipping while you play Dabo.

I didn't win, sadly.
That's all I've ever come up with.
and that is the story of how I didn't invent the Roomba
After every session, Riker goes to the Ten Forward lounge, and just watches people eat the replicated food.
He makes and holds eye contact until everyone there is uncomfortable.
Man, that sounds like a great idea, screw those judges or whoever crushed your dream!

What he didn't tell you is the winner invented Viagra.
...with mint frosting.
Seriously, think about how much people masturbate every day. If we could harness some of that energy, it could probably make a significant dent in energy needs.
Maybe hooking some kind of glove up before doing your thing. The motion turns a small turbine inside the house. I'm not an engineer, so I don't know exactly how it'd work.
But by God I know it would.

Alternatively, I wish there was a pill that made farts smell like fresh baked cookies
U Turn Blinkers.
flashing "don't know where the fuck I'm going" lights
Clothing detergent doped with caffeine.
An iphone app that fades into the song "Bad Company" whenever someone you are in conversation bores you.
Underwear with millions of sex nanites in them.
This is the future I want.

I'd guess there would be a lot of fakes, along the lines of fake celebrity porn. Making official licensed celebrity designs all the more desirable! The ultimate fantasy would become having virtual sex with an official celebrity simulacrum, instead of actual celebrity sex!
Just make a wristband with the same gear inside as those shake-to-charge flashlights.
GIVE ME YOUR SPINES
You could have a threesome with Scarlett Johannson and Scarlett Johannson with red hair. You can't do that in real life.
