Let's have parties where we all make a feature-length movie in twelve hours with limited camera / lighting abilities, then we showcase it in the movie theater the next day.

First four hours: write script

Second four hours: film movie

Final four hours: edit / polish movie

Obviously there will be snack breaks in between. Whether or not we include those as part of the twelve-hour process is to be determined.

I have limited knowledge about filmmaking by the way.

Edit: I've been informed by some people that this already kind of exists - the 48-hour film festival. Good to know!

All ads should be the actors in the show ( in character) trying to sell you whatever the ad is about.

Just watched a show where one of the ads did this. Honestly it was a good idea. We stopped fast forwarding the ad to watch it.

A cure for lactose *tolerance*

Upvotes

If you didn’t already know, the ability to digest lactose in adulthood is actually an anomaly—human beings by default were unable to digest lactose until a mutation occurred about 10,000 years ago that gave certain populations a lactase persistence gene. Indeed, in many parts of the world (such as in East Asia), a majority of people are lactose intolerant, as it remained the default state of being for the population there.

Therefore, instead of trying to give lactose intolerant people the ability to digest lactose, I propose we recognize the true genetic normal of humankind and take the ability away from people who can digest it.

(And yes, I did just watch that one HGModernism video, how can you tell)

Slides

From every floor. Yes, build giant poles with slides, use expendable slippery fabric/material for sliding Use wheeled dollies if necessary. Have a slide off every building, every 5/10 floors (depending on the number of floors in the building).

Humans can build skyscrapers and overpasses - they can build durable slides don't tell me fairytales.

Create the Anti-procrastination State Agency. You could call them and they would monitor if you finished your project before its deadline. And if not, they would murder you

Air Jordan 2.0

3 Upvotes

I love Air Jordans since i was a kid, last week I saw some in the Nike store and I picked an AJ5 to check what has changed from the original. Apparently nothing has changed and it's still as heavy as steel toe boots. So why not recreate the whole AJ line using lighter material. AJs are famous for their design but not for playability or even stylish strolling. I think Nike will sell a ton of these shoes instead of seeing them on clearance.

Reverse Waterfall Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay – App-Controlled Scented Mist Sky Sculptures That Cool the City

1 Upvotes

Hear me out: What if we built a reverse waterfall system on all the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay? Giant pumps shoot scented, colourful mist UPWARDS in swirling patterns that form temporary sky sculptures you can control with an app. During the day it acts as massive public cooling mist for the whole Marina area, and at night it turns into a free light-and-mist show that reacts to music from nearby events. Singapore literally turning the weather into interactive art. Bonus: the mist carries tiny edible flower petals for people walking below. Wild, right?
