    Stadium Cable Cars and Ferris Wheels (Tom Walma)

    Idea: To build cheap sports stadiums with no upper deck and instead to surround the stadium with machines or rides to lift people up to view the game, such as cable cars, Ferris wheels, swing set swings that go straight up and down, etc. Also: drone vendors to bring food to people sitting in these machines; bussing the machines between stadiums (like a traveling carnival) based on ticket demand; lengthening time between innings or quarters to give people sitting in these machines more time come down and go pee; fun over-the-top ideas such as tour busses that become a row of seats, human pneumatic tubes, and giant balloons; the weird baseball stadium vendor accent vs. the Boston accent and discussing the Midwestern/Michigan accent Turbulence Tyme (facebook.com/Turbulencetyme instagram.com/turbulencetyme instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Dave Jones (facebook.com/comedian.davejones.5 instagram.com/comediandavejones New World Comedy on FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583085744240) Kate Doré (facebook.com/katredhatred instagram.com/katredhatred "3 Shots Down" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QEQZ8PIP6RaLorT0ZrckG?si=b3969fbb57144034) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Social Media Positivity Filter or App (Kate Doré)

    Idea: A social media app or filter which blocks or limits the amount of negative news stories and negative social media posts you can view, for the sake of your mental health and happiness. Also: it could display a hint/preview of a negative story with the sad details hidden behind a cute puppy photo, in which case you'd have to "click to expand" to see the sad details; the desire to still be shown "funny bad news", such as a 100-car pileup where nobody died; our hatred of "vagueposting" when we're trying to limit our exposure to the news; an idea for a social network that is only about pets and animals; the need for more templates (similar to "reported safe from xxx" or "happy birthday" reminders) to coax/help people post different types of good personal news (for example, to remind people to take a "before" picture for their "weight loss journey" and to store that picture for later, i.e. when they want to announce that their weight loss goal was achieved) Turbulence Tyme (facebook.com/Turbulencetyme instagram.com/turbulencetyme instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Dave Jones (facebook.com/comedian.davejones.5 instagram.com/comediandavejones New World Comedy on FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583085744240) Kate Doré (facebook.com/katredhatred instagram.com/katredhatred "3 Shots Down" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QEQZ8PIP6RaLorT0ZrckG?si=b3969fbb57144034) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Pawn Shop Cartoon (Dave Jones)

    Idea: A cartoon series set in a pawn shop where the items in the shop talk to each other, tell stories of their past, and speculate about their former and future owners. Also: showcasing diverse cultures, languages/accents, and time-specific cartoon/art styles based on the origin of the item; story lines such as paired items being separated, fake gold jewelry telling lies (because they're fake), an owner repeating pawning and buying back an item, etc; a mix of weird items such as musical instruments, grandfather clocks, fake jewelry, beekeeping poles, etc. Turbulence Tyme (facebook.com/Turbulencetyme instagram.com/turbulencetyme instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Dave Jones (facebook.com/comedian.davejones.5 instagram.com/comediandavejones New World Comedy on FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583085744240) Kate Doré (facebook.com/katredhatred instagram.com/katredhatred "3 Shots Down" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QEQZ8PIP6RaLorT0ZrckG?si=b3969fbb57144034) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    New Noah's Ark Livestream TV Show (Turbulence Tyme)

    Idea: To try to recreate Noah's Ark on a giant ship and show the 40-day voyage attempt on a continuous livestream and a TV show. Also: it could use a modified cruise ship, a floating biodome, or maybe even a spaceship; using horses and other animals to do work (such as pulling carts full of food or poop) to allow 2 people to run the Ark; the ridiculously large number of species of beetles, the possibility of that being scientific fraud, and skipping similar species for the Ark if little kids can't tell the difference between them; you could record how many species survive the 40 days and try again every year, learning from mistakes and iteratively improving the Ark Turbulence Tyme (facebook.com/Turbulencetyme instagram.com/turbulencetyme instagram.com/newworldcomedynwc) Dave Jones (facebook.com/comedian.davejones.5 instagram.com/comediandavejones New World Comedy on FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583085744240) Kate Doré (facebook.com/katredhatred instagram.com/katredhatred "3 Shots Down" Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0QEQZ8PIP6RaLorT0ZrckG?si=b3969fbb57144034) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Toilet Table (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A small foldable table to be used while sitting on the toilet and that can be stored on the toilet when not in use. It could replace the toilet seat lid, replace the toilet tank lid (or mount on top of a special toilet tank lid), or be stored in a slot behind the toilet tank. Also: some items such as coffee cups can be placed on a wet bathroom sink, but other items like your phone or a magazine cannot be placed on a wet sink and would be more appropriately placed on a small table; questioning whether you would be socially punished if people found out that you had a table in front of the toilet; giving it an exotic European-sounding name (like "Skorza") and then pretending that toilet tables are common in Europe Ken Carlson (facebook.com/KenCarlsonCT) Justin Chupp (facebook.com/justin.chupp.346521 instagram.com/straightwhitemayo facebook.com/spicystandup) Kevin Kelling (facebook.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/comedy.at.boldgr) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Urban Agricultural Pyramids (Justin Chupp)

    Idea: To build giant hollow mountain-sized pyramids in large cities and grow food on flat terraces on the outside of the pyramids. Also: foods which require high elevation would be grown on the top of the pyramids; they could cause rain, shade cities, and/or block tornadoes from cities (or cause a deadly veggie tornado); using the pyramids for other stuff such as "pumped storage" power generators, cell phone towers (which might lead to a fear of eating "5G grapes"), tourism, etc.; once we have millions of robots that build everything, the cost of building a giant hollow pyramid could come way down Ken Carlson (facebook.com/KenCarlsonCT) Justin Chupp (facebook.com/justin.chupp.346521 instagram.com/straightwhitemayo facebook.com/spicystandup) Kevin Kelling (facebook.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/comedy.at.boldgr) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Survivalist Dual-Use Food Ideas (Ken Carlson)

    Ideas (both silly and serious) for foods which have additional practical uses during an apocalypse, such as inflatable bagels as flotation devices, sharp-edged foods as weapons, pop tarts as sticky notes, fruit roll-ups as clothing, etc. Also: Tom's apocalypse stash of greenhouse plastic; the problem of accumulating hair on 100 year spaceship journeys; garbage bags full of used toilet paper can be packed against the walls and used as insulation, which is a similar instinct to how birds use poop to hold together the straw or branches in their nests Ken Carlson (facebook.com/KenCarlsonCT) Justin Chupp (facebook.com/justin.chupp.346521 instagram.com/straightwhitemayo facebook.com/spicystandup) Kevin Kelling (facebook.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/comedy.at.boldgr) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Burial With Possessions For The Afterlife (Kevin Kelling)

    Idea: To convince people (for the sake of the economy) to have their prized possessions put in their coffins with them when they die so they have those possessions in the afterlife (like the ancient Egyptians). Also: avoiding embarrassing items because other people can see them in your open coffin funeral; bringing your live pets or other people with you to the afterlife; boobytrapping your coffin so other people can't steal your stuff or eat/destroy your mummified body; burying collectibles (Pokemon cards, sports memorabilia, Labubus) and denying them from your children in your will; filming a ghost hunting reality show where the fake ghosts carry around the possessions they were buried with Ken Carlson (facebook.com/KenCarlsonCT) Justin Chupp (facebook.com/justin.chupp.346521 instagram.com/straightwhitemayo facebook.com/spicystandup) Kevin Kelling (facebook.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/kevin.kelling.52 instagram.com/comedy.at.boldgr) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com/creativitywasted x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
