    These pears are taking FOREVER to ripen

    I should create a startup that will ripen your pears for you with an over engineered machine that costs a thousand dollars

    I’ll call it PEARERO

    is it a rotten banana or other ripe fruit that you put in a bag with the pears

    except instead of a bag it is a Science Bag and instead of a rotten fruit it's individually packaged canisters of ethylene?

    ooh but the canisters are shaped like fruits so it's cute as well as high tech

    You’re hired

    Ok I will make the beautiful powerpoints and extract money from investors and also render 3d mockups of cute fruits

    you can figure out how to implement the stuff I bullshit about

    but i'm sure you could incorporate a sensor that takes a reading of the flesh color of the fruit as it ripens and weights the fruit and delivers the "correct" amount of ethylene to the bag

    hm actually we really need to figure out if it has a hard-edged/tacticool vibe, scifi/hi-tech vibe, or domestic/cute vibe, because that really changes the language we'd use to talk about the sensors and algorithms

    basically is it black/silver, white/silver, or pastel/woodgrain

    What if inatead of all this bullshit we just took the good part (cute fruit with C2 chemicals inside) and ditched all the bad parts (eating fruit, double bonds). So we sell little cute fruits with a shot's worth of flavored vodka inside them.

    I was born to be chief bullshit artist for a tech startup; unclear why I'm a scientist instead

    yeah hi-tech is probably best, but I really want a stretch goal where the ethylene release packages are shaped like cute fruits; different color containers can also be stretch goals in order to go full cute.

    Hm I guess you see inside it with a camera and a screen instead of a transparent wall, so you can include some amount of customizable design on the screen as well--default is very streamlined, of course. And it interfaces with your smart home devices ('alexa, set my pears to ripen by tomorrow morning') and the ~~internet of things~~

    I'm considering saying it can't mine bitcoin but it uses the blockchain to give each fruit a unique identifier and securely track it, but honestly that pushes the bullshit over the plausibly fundable line.

    How about instead: it uses the blockchain to ensure network security and its unique signature within the internet of things.
