Would a medieval slave work harder if we rewarded him with a phone full of porn?
Drop a tablet loaded with endless porn into the hands of an slave in the Middle Ages. Tell him he gets more time with it if he works faster and better. Then escalate: Put one big tablet in the middle of the camp. Whoever works hardest gets 10 minutes alone with it. Watch how fast…

What the heck kinda boat is this? Round UFO saucer shaped boat
Hey everyone I saw this saucer shaped boat several years ago in SoCal I think, fiberglass construction, round hull, docked. I’ve seen a few over the decades, they used to be prevalent in the SanDiego California area. I think they might have been life rafts decades ago but no real idea (which is why I…
Disaster Trials: Chapter 8: Draken

Electric Age, a Love Triangle story written in Chiastic Structure
First of all a brief definiton of the term: “Chiastic structure, or chiastic pattern, is a literary technique in narrative motifs and other textual passages. An example of chiastic structure would betwo ideas, A and B, together with variants A’ and B’, being presented as A,B,B’,A’. Chiastic structures that involve more components are sometimes called”ring…

Monkey bars in downtowns
You know how big cities such as New York have so much pedestrian traffic? Why don’t we just install monkey bars over all of the sidewalks so half of the people can walk and then the other half can swing around like Spiderman? Plus they get free exercise when they go anywhere submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded_Fox2684…
A burglar alarm that doesn’t call the police, but gaslights the burglar into thinking the house is severely haunted
Why install a normal $50/month alarm system when you can install a coordinated network of smart bulbs, spatial audio speakers, and remote-controlled toys designed to break a burglar’s psyche? Imagine breaking a window at 2 AM, and instead of a loud siren A grandfather clock chimes 13 times. The smart TV in the dark room…

Hey guys, I’ve got some really good land, and I want to start a real business growing strawberries.

Host a pig roast, but instead of cooking it, you just make fun of it for being smelly and pink and bald
No one ever stops to think of the type of roasts they are attending. Pigs probably have a sense of humor. They would certainly appreciate being made fun of instead of being slow cooked on a stick. submitted by /u/Next_Doughnut2 [link] [comments]

Fast food places should offer a subscription to get “free”/prepaid food like a college meal plan
Hear me out on this one. Nobody likes unnecessary subscriptions, but colleges kind of have something right when it comes to meal plans. 3 meals a day included in tuition that don’t require payment at purchase kind of hits sometimes. Maybe if a couple chains got together like Taco Bell and KFC, it could be…

Require all TV-shows to film “a final episode” so that series that expect to be continued, but are cut for whatever reason has a decent wrap up!

Who even gets attacked by sharks? There’s like the soul surfer girl and that’s it. It’s so rare that when it happens they get their own movie. I see a news story on here every week about a kid dying in a hot car and not one movie about it. You think anyone’s forgetting to…
No taxes at all, gov just prints money when it needs to spend.
Taxing people is just inflation with extra steps. If you make $100k, you don’t really make $100k. If you buy a car for $40k, it’s actually over $50k with taxes. Remove that extra bullshit. You make what you make and you spend what you spend. Don’t tax people, at all. Need a road? Print money.…
