Brainstorming and sharing ideas is the funnest part of the creative process. We decided to skip the boring part of actually making stuff, and just do the fun part

    Hi-Tech Neighborhood Watch (Tom Walma)

    Idea: Mini local surveillance networks where people in a neighborhood share access to their outdoor cameras with each other and use state-of-the-art software to detect gunshots, follow people from camera to camera, etc. The police wouldn't have direct access to the video, but the people could manually send video to the police if they choose to do so. Also: it is meant to be the opposite of "big brother" mass surveillance; people in the neighborhood might provide more humanity and understand the context of a situation better than police doing "big brother"-style mass police surveillance (for example, people in the neighborhood might only report the most dangerous criminals); watching your loved ones from camera-to-camera as they walk to the bus to make sure they're safe Rishabh Heer (instagram.com/rishheer facebook.com/rish.heer) Norman Dwayne (instagram.com/normandwaynecomedy facebook.com/norman.dwayne.365305) 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.

    Slower Lawn Growth Ideas (Norman Dwayne)

    Brainstorming ideas to slow lawn growth so you don't have to mow the lawn as often, such as pouring coffee on it, having weedwackers that come out of the ground, shocking the grass with freezing cold water, etc. Also: people in the past and people in the future will be shocked that we spent so much time and labor on our lawns; using humanoid robots to do Flintstones-like manual labor (like using "washing boards" to wash clothes by hand) instead of using machines like dishwashers, washing machines, and even weedwackers; the risk of ruining the ground and creating a sinkhole that destroys your house while trying crazy things to try to slow down the lawn growth Rishabh Heer (instagram.com/rishheer facebook.com/rish.heer) Norman Dwayne (instagram.com/normandwaynecomedy facebook.com/norman.dwayne.365305) 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.

    IRL Chat Finder App (Rishabh Heer)

    Idea: An app in which you electronically connect with (or match with) nearby strangers when you're in a public social venue (like a bar) so then you can more easily physically approach them to chat, make friends, flirt, etc. Also: there could be a feature to pay the stranger to talk to you (instead of buying them a beer); the app could have venue-specific features such as to join a group at a "board game bar" or join a team or find an opponent at a sports complex; the app could have you list favorite conversation topics and/or the type of people you want to talk to (such as women who only want to talk to other women); possible downsides of the app, such as coming off as desperate and how paying for conversations could encourage fake non-sincere social interactions Rishabh Heer (instagram.com/rishheer facebook.com/rish.heer) Norman Dwayne (instagram.com/normandwaynecomedy facebook.com/norman.dwayne.365305) 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.

    Text Editor That Only Allows Words From Language Translation Databases (Tom Walma)

    Idea: A text editor that enables exact language translation of text by only allowing you to type words contained in a series of small language translation databases (basic words, words related to a particular business, etc.) Also: there would be no need for AI to make guesses regarding language translations; it'd take longer to write because if you wanted to use a word that wasn't in one of the translation databases you'd have to figure out a different way to say what you want to say; the translation databases could be transmitted as an attachment with the email or text file Tyler Beans (facebook.com/tyler.warmbein.3) Emeka Nriagu (facebook.com/emeka.nriagu instagram.com/emurkadurk) Ben Champion (instagram.com/_champ_is.here facebook.com/ben.champion.39) Tom Walma (https://creativitywasted.com x.com/thomaswalma twitch.tv/gameymcfitness) This podcast is part of Planet Ant Podcasts (https://planetant.com) This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Tornado Lights (Tom Walma)

    Idea: To fly swarms of tiny drones with bright lights on them into tornadoes so people can easily see the tornadoes for safety reasons. Also: the tiny drones could be released from self-driving large military drones or self-driving cars; some of the drones could have audio sirens (for rural areas without tornado alarms) and some could make a line in the sky to show the projected future path of the tornado; if the tornado lights were too pretty people would walk outside to see them and get killed (kind of like bugs flying into a bug light) Melissa Brandt (instagram.com/melissabrandtraps facebook.com/melissa.beaver.94) Heather VanGheluwe (instagram.com/heathervangiggles tiktok.com/@heathervangiggles facebook.com/comedian.heather.vangheluwe) 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.

    Alliance of Lazy Substitute Teachers (Melissa Brandt)

    Idea: For substitute teachers to work together to leverage the teacher shortage to pressure schools to let them show videos or do easy teaching instead of having to quickly learn complex lesson plans. Also: a designation after the lazy substitute teacher's name that is "the opposite of a doctorate" (ex: "Melissa Brandt, ZZZ"); getting lost in the school trying to take the students to the gym; trying to teach music when you don't know how to play an instrument Melissa Brandt (instagram.com/melissabrandtraps facebook.com/melissa.beaver.94) Heather VanGheluwe (instagram.com/heathervangiggles tiktok.com/@heathervangiggles facebook.com/comedian.heather.vangheluwe) 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.

    Nose Ring Prank (Heather VanGheluwe)

    A prank idea that Heather is planning for this year's April Fools Day, which is to trick her husband into thinking she got a nose ring. Also: ideas to enhance the prank, such as to make it a septum ring, make her voice sound funny, wear a full goth outfit with it, etc.; the risk of her husband liking it and wanting her to keep it; piercings and their issues, including infection, smelling bad, etc.; previously performed pranks, including a kitchen sink prank and a prank-like surprise trip Melissa Brandt (instagram.com/melissabrandtraps facebook.com/melissa.beaver.94) Heather VanGheluwe (instagram.com/heathervangiggles tiktok.com/@heathervangiggles facebook.com/comedian.heather.vangheluwe) 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.

    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.
