I long had this idea of a peace plane. It is basically a plane that flies in low orbit over battle fields. When there is peace to be made, it will load up tons upon tons of weed and lit them up on fire and cascade them downard on the battle field to drug everybody out. As Nitsuga's T-shirt suggest, drug men do not make enemies, they make friends. So as soon as the weed smoke began to descend upon the field, everybody will be too happy to pick up their guns. It's perfect.
I'll draw a picture once I have time.
Here's a short poem about it:
Guns and blood and gut they fly
Tanks and planes with satallite guide
But lo and behold the peace plane unload
Tons of burning weed on the field
Guns are dropped and people starred
Wide pupils and nostrils flaired
Inhaling smokes from the heavenly plane
Shutting down wars that fought in vain
Tanks turned into a RC toy
With druggy men playing like boy
No more blood and no more fight
All thanks to the peace plane's might!
So that's my idea of a peace plane, share some of your strange ones! :D Go imagination!!

- a big puppy that shits kittens - it's like a factory of cute
- some sort of device that can catch ghosts but only when they're doing illegal things because usually they're just catching ghosts because they're ghosts and i really don't think that's fair
- meat that looks EXACTLY like vegetables to make the life of vegetarians more exciting
- a thread that generates its own content and users so you can just lean back and go "man, that's a good forum"
i'll try to add more tomorrow, as you can see i am always full of good ideas i think i would make a pretty good scientist

BTW: I made a play on "needless" aren't I fucking clever?

lol didnt notice that needless play on words
clever bastard
anyways, i think cow has some pretty good ideas
ill add some of my ideas later
none of coming to me now ={

if there was a plane full of weed flying over your head who wouldn't shoot it and steal that shit
this is why your plane wouldn't be realistic, it'd be hijacked instantly

How about one day all the males on the planet except me vaporize, leaving me the power and responsibility to rebuild mankind.

my idea is similar, but instead its an actual flying fortress with laser stun guns to pwn everyone. Also sleeping gas too.
When everyones out Id just steal their guns and then raise my own "peacekeeping" force and rule the world.

My idea has nothing to do with world peace, because that's lame. So here's an idea I got while showering:
I was watching my almost empty bottle of Head & Shoulders shampoo and I thought; Damn, that's the biggest hoax of all time. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against using shampoo, I'm against its texture. Have you noticed that even when you can feel there's still some damn shampoo in there, it just won't come out? Shampoo company must make a lot of money off of that. Imagine. Let's say that in "empty" shampoo bottles(420ml), there's always at least 10ml worth of shampoo still lying there. So want do you do? Of course you'll throw the bottle to the trash and get a new one
WRONG. Don't do that. You only make the shampoo companies richer. On a small scall of one human being, 10ml of shampoo is nothing. But on the entire civilized human kind scall, that's a LOT of money. You have to buy 43 bottles of shampoo (assuming they are 420 ml ones) to really get 42. Now 42 bottles of shampoo is a lot, and you'll probably barely pass that in 2 years. But on a big a scale, it means big profits for the shampoo companies.
Solution? Put water in the remaining 10 ml of shampoo. It'll expand the duration of your shampoo bottle GREATLY. If you had 10 ml of water into 10 ml of shampoo, you still get a 20 ml of pretty good shampoo. So then we agree that we've tranformed our 420 ml shampoo bottle into a 430 ml one. So if you buy 42 bottles of shampoo and do that +10 ml trick each time, well, you just won a new bottle of shampoo my friend.
edit: I was high.

I thought everyone mixed in some water with the last bit of shampoo to get it all out? 
On a tangent, the peace plane idea reminds me of a certain episode 9 of Samurai Champloo (champloo sounds similar to shampoo--how clever, eh?) where a marijuana field gets set on flames by accident during a fight, causing everybody to just get high and stop fighting.

Ohh here's another one of mine...
Imagine you can store sleeps. Like... suck the sleep out of someone and put it in a can, say. Then you can just hire a bunch of hobos and make them sleep every day. And you pay them. However they are not getting rested because you keep sucking the sleep out of them :p You store the sleep inside a can, and now redbull can just go to hell.
You sell this can worth one hour of good night sleep to busy cooperate CEOs, busy students, busy men or maybe army in the war. So whenever they feel damn drowsy well go consume like 8 cans worth of 8 hours of sleeps. Kabam instant regen.
That'd rock!

What do you mean by nerual data transfer? I had a similar one if I understand you correctly...
Like you have this sort of input port in your brain that can intake datas. So you go online and search for a data file that's the precise movement of a say... pen trick. You download that file, jack a cord into ur brain and install it. Then you learn how to do pen trix instantly. Is that something like that? :D

I have written several things trying to decipher on my own some of the unanswerable questions in life, such as things about god and in general just all of the difficult questions in the world. I don't necessarily agree with any of them, they are just theories that I formed.
Here is one of them, it's the latest one I thought of and most of the ideas aren't completely thought out or even right, but I think it's an interesting idea.
X = Life "Theory"
In mathematics one encounters several things. One of these things being equations. Equations can be made for literally ANYTHING. These equations enable us to have a completely accurate prediction of, as I said earlier, literally anything.
Knowing this, that anything can be predicted via mathematics, I am hypothesizing that human life also must have an equation where one can predict what anyone will do in any given situation, thus human life has no free will and fate is very much so real, to the point that we are all merely points on the graph of an XY chart. The end of the world can be predicted, the creation of our world can be found, we can understand nearly all of the questions that life has left us unanswered without ever leaving our rooms, we can travel through time, we can essentially understand everything by finding an equation for every single living person to figure out what they would do in any situation presented in front of them.
I believe this hypothesis is valid for the reason that I have no reason to believe human beings are special, if I can predict how a ball will roll across the ground, I should be able to predict how someone will react if I punch them in the face, though, the equation is going to be very complex there is most definitely one to achieve the answer that I am looking for.
To say that I am looking for an equation where I will know how Johnny Walker will react to being hit in the face is completely wrong, however, I am moreso looking at the idea of an equation that would set the path of your life, from your first action to your last. I’m not sure at this point how the equation would have to work to accomplish this, I would hypothesize that the answer to how you reacted would be iterated back into the formula somehow, but the exact details are unimportant to me. In this hypothesis I am forced to assume it is possible to create this complex equation merely because I see no reason not to believe it, if I can predict other things it is my belief then I can predict human behaviors.
If I could somehow possess this wonderful tool, I could work the equations backwards or forwards through every generation(time travel). I would essentially possess the ability to know when anything would happen. What a scary idea...
In conclusion: My hypothesis is that it is possible to create an equation that will lay out the path of any man's life and if this is possible, free will is nonexistent and life isn't quite as magical as one might expect.

It is on a minute scale of what ur thinking but it is essentially the same idea. Same as a starcraft replay, come to think of it.

The Dudley Lock BruteForce Machine
i've had this idea in the back of my head for the last 6 months to essentially BruteForce open a Dudley Lock...
it would be a solid frame that fits over the lock and two arms inside grab the spinner and like a clamp or something with a pnematic grabbing the bolt part itself....When you turn it on it starts going through every possible combination at high speed and the pnematic pump goes off ever its got the 3 numbers in.
How practical would this be? not very but i still want to make one.

Writing from a long time ago. Weed plans, great minds think alike, bouncy.
Anyways, I just feel like telling you my plan for Russia when I become popular dictator of the world, in fact I don't even have to be dictator. Anyways, first I will invent, or co-invent the sub-shotgun. I will go to the UN tell them to kiss my ass and give me the world or I'll blow their gay asses off. Then, I would blow their asses off. Once I take control of Russia, and the world, I would totally obliterate Russia with nuclear weapons. Once that is done I will send hobos from every country to Russia so they could plant weed all over Russia and tend to it like farmers would. Don't forget that the weed will grow ten times as big because I nuked the place and the plant was mutated. It would take about a year to grow weed all over Russia because of the radiation and the weed can survive in the cold weather because they mutated into a super plant. Then, when the final stages are complete I will launch all the nukes in the world at Russia, no one would care because in a second the whole world would be high, that should loosen some people up. It would also get rid of all the useless hobos in the world because I'll just nuke them and not tell them. According to my calculations the world would be high for a week. Yeah right, not with my super weed. The world would be high for two months long enough to kill everyones brain cells while I sit in my lead plated air tight palace on Mount Everest because it wouldn't be affected just like Water World, then I will be the smartest person on Earth and everyone will do my bidding and kiss my ass.

CrownRoyal: I agree with your basic premise. If you knew all the equations, which are impossible to know because they are so complex, how would this allow you to go back in time? The only thing it would do is allow you to accurately predict the future.

hehe hold on lemme extract my pm.
found it!!
Here's mine if you're interested...
Life is a huge function, say it is a f(x)
Now the function is constructed... say let the function s(x) be a function of squrrel.
So when x = nuts, s(x) = eat nuts
When x = cars s(x) = run away
Now if you take s(x), the squrrel, and h(x) the human, and god knows infinite amount of function(x), the one for dirt, the one for fire, the one for water...
Take a summation F(x) is the function of life.
So with each distinct input we get one distinct output! It is perfectly predictible!
Now what happen if we take the inverse of F? say what is... F-1(x)?!
Well... instead of an input that generates an output, it is an output that generates an input. So what F-1(x) is precisely is when time travels backward. So if logically the "machine" of life can run forward as F(x), the machine will run equally logically backward as F-1(x)
So isntead of knowing the end of the universe, we would also see the beginning of it by running it as an inverse.
However, see... I reached my ultimate conclution that the equation has too too too many variables and these vaiables vary too much to be collected and tabulated into a complete F(x) and therefore life is still a mystery you have to learn by experience.
:-)

Assuming you know when the variable of a new child is added into the equation, you could follow that person's life forwards or backwards through time to see the begining and end of our time.

O we had a chat and concluded that free will is the incapacity to figure out the equation.

THE CURE FOR AIDS.
Every cell gives out an enzym telling pretty much everything what kind of cell it is, like a signal. White blood cells give out and unique signal too. Most viruses and such don;t attack the white blood cells cause of the difference in the enzyme they give out. Well if we can introduce an amino acid that would change the "signal" so that the HIV wouldnt attack the white blood cells we could significantly extend lives or even cure aids.
I have no clue what im talking about by the way so dont go off on me. I took a year of biology and thought this up while i was high. but it sounds really really good huh.

Well i want to grab astroglide and squeeze it into some ones butt and put the powder so when they fart they do diarreah at the same time :D..thats my idea O.o

This is nothing new, it's been hypothesized by every materialist.
EDIT: The going back in time thing will never work though, since life isn't one big equation, it's a bunch of equations all working at the same time(pysics). Even if it were one, it would probably be an equation with no inverse(i.e. possibly not a function).

Classic determinism by way of natural law, an interesting argument that I held in high regard until I developed my understanding of physics better. Our current model of quantum mechanics is fundamentally probabilistic due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and further supported by the Bell experiments done decades later. Of course it is still an interesting idea and our laws of physics are incomplete, but according to our current understanding of physics it is simply wrong until proven otherwise. Discussing it heuristically is still entertaining though as I often do it myself. I think there may be a few ways for determinism to escape it's fate in this specific regard, one could also always come to determinism through other arguments as well. But again, it seems that Einstein may have been wrong and God does play dice!

I was thinking that we cross breed people with plants. Or, like at least engineer people so that you have chlorophyll in your skin all over. So yeah, you're green, but instead of eating you can drink a little water and go stand in the sun. Also you wouldn't have to breath as much, and would seep out oxygen.

airline security "express lane". if you have no baggage (just things in your pockets), you get a separate lane. sick of waiting for people to take out their laptops, etc etc etc.
also on the same topic, airlines should let everyone who has nothing in the overhead bin to leave first. the deplaning only takes so fucking long cause everyone has to wait for everyone else to get their shit out of the bins. sux.
today a co-worker and i decided to invent an anti-pain ray burqa. the stupid fucking military has developed a "non-lethal" weapon which uses microwaves to make you feel like you're going to burst into flames. it's ostensibly to provide a non-lethal alternative to guns, but i think it's going to be used for lots of more sadistic purposes. anyway, since i KNOW they'll be sending it to iraq asap, i figured we should start selling anti-pain ray burqas.
they'd be made of metal mesh to stop the microwaves...and they'd be fashionable too! plus i think it's funny the military's new multi-million dollar weapon can be foiled by a big sheet of aluminum foil. i could be wrong, as i don't know the details of the weapon, but if it's just a microwave generator, then a metal mesh should work.

I want everyone in the world, to stop giving a shit about their beliefs and existence, and start doing something productive.
I would also like detachable and regenerative body parts. I want to create a rope with a 100 of my arms and swing around buildings around with it. I would remove my head, create a new body, create a new me, and I would mitotically reproduce myself. I would also like to stretch my penis out a 100 meters, shoot it around like a firehouse to unsuspecting victims. I could also probably create stilts with my legs, walk around everyone and scaring the shit out of dogs.

From wikipedia:
There is no indication on the feasibility of electromagnetically shielding a person from its effects with a wire mesh, in a similar manner that a microwave oven prevents radiation escaping.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System
They woulda obviously changed its design if such a simple metal mesh could be used. And here:
Tin foil and other shields proved mostly ineffective, as even a tiny area of exposed skin was enough to stimulate the escape response.

Productivity without wisdom can lead to very bad things, I couldn't disagree with you any more. Productivity to an Islamic terrorist could be driving a plane into the WTC. Productivity to Hitler was genocide. Productivity to some loon might be sniping doctors that perform abortions in the head while they are washing dishes. Ideas are what's more important than productivity.

it upsets me that any idea I have ever conceived has been thought of by some other guy centuries before my birth.
sigh, why can't i be original.

Lol, it really is hard to be original! I guess when there are a large pool of highly educated people that have had an ongoing discussion for thousands of years that it is hard to be original! Probably the best way to be original is to have a good understanding of what's out there (hard to impossible to do?) and then make up some fringe theory and hope it catches! Think eliminative materialism or the such.
I guess I could also add that as science comes up with novel new ideas or anything else does for that matter, that a whole new field of philosophy is always open and ripe for the picking. Although many times these new ideas just inject new terminology in a debate that really had already been ongoing.

Exactly. Stop doing a half-assed job with your evils and start doing it all the way. I'm sick of people getting to the middle, spending what little time in their lives thinking about it, and acting upon experience. Boring world, as it is. Why can't we all be more stupid mindless heartless machines? You focused on the negative nature of productivity and not the whole picture here. I was an ideal thinker, always trying to meticulate all sorts of logic into my life. All the events that passed by and they came to conclusions so perpetual and rhetorical. Perhaps its my lack of intelligence, my lack of respect, my lack of trust in human nature, and ideas can be swayed any way. In my eyes, evil is an opinion. We Americans condone the terrorist attacks, but people around the world condone the actions of america for our past actions. Of course, we don't put the two things in one place, seperate them, and influence more and more without directing the attention to it. What if we never believed in God? What if we never thought about the importance of individuality, difference between color, creed, and creativity? We would stand out black and white, none of the 50 versions of the bible shit, none of the different versions of islamic faith, and questioning our existence would never have been an issue. Stopped caring about all the small things that put our foundation of our society into one, and we work in uniform, like a animal cell or an atom. But this is simply an unrealistic and impossible conclusion that will never happen and I'm sorry if you got that misconstrued. That's why I put this under one of those "weird" ideas. Just out there, perhaps to some, nonsense.

hehe ok I see your point now

WOOT!
Peace is again restored! They'll totoally take me serial.

yes, there are many equations. Yes, you need a big device to calculate it all. That's what the real world is; a device calculating with every equation to find out whats going to happen in the future. Therebye, we cant know exactly whats going to happen, cause the device didnt get there yet.

I have written several things trying to decipher on my own some of the unanswerable questions in life, such as things about god and in general just all of the difficult questions in the world. I don't necessarily agree with any of them, they are just theories that I formed.
Here is one of them, it's the latest one I thought of and most of the ideas aren't completely thought out or even right, but I think it's an interesting idea.
X = Life "Theory"
In mathematics one encounters several things. One of these things being equations. Equations can be made for literally ANYTHING. These equations enable us to have a completely accurate prediction of, as I said earlier, literally anything.
Knowing this, that anything can be predicted via mathematics, I am hypothesizing that human life also must have an equation where one can predict what anyone will do in any given situation, thus human life has no free will and fate is very much so real, to the point that we are all merely points on the graph of an XY chart. The end of the world can be predicted, the creation of our world can be found, we can understand nearly all of the questions that life has left us unanswered without ever leaving our rooms, we can travel through time, we can essentially understand everything by finding an equation for every single living person to figure out what they would do in any situation presented in front of them.
I believe this hypothesis is valid for the reason that I have no reason to believe human beings are special, if I can predict how a ball will roll across the ground, I should be able to predict how someone will react if I punch them in the face, though, the equation is going to be very complex there is most definitely one to achieve the answer that I am looking for.
To say that I am looking for an equation where I will know how Johnny Walker will react to being hit in the face is completely wrong, however, I am moreso looking at the idea of an equation that would set the path of your life, from your first action to your last. I’m not sure at this point how the equation would have to work to accomplish this, I would hypothesize that the answer to how you reacted would be iterated back into the formula somehow, but the exact details are unimportant to me. In this hypothesis I am forced to assume it is possible to create this complex equation merely because I see no reason not to believe it, if I can predict other things it is my belief then I can predict human behaviors.
If I could somehow possess this wonderful tool, I could work the equations backwards or forwards through every generation(time travel). I would essentially possess the ability to know when anything would happen. What a scary idea...
In conclusion: My hypothesis is that it is possible to create an equation that will lay out the path of any man's life and if this is possible, free will is nonexistent and life isn't quite as magical as one might expect.

Ohh here's another one of mine...
Imagine you can store sleeps. Like... suck the sleep out of someone and put it in a can, say. Then you can just hire a bunch of hobos and make them sleep every day. And you pay them. However they are not getting rested because you keep sucking the sleep out of them :p You store the sleep inside a can, and now redbull can just go to hell.
You sell this can worth one hour of good night sleep to busy cooperate CEOs, busy students, busy men or maybe army in the war. So whenever they feel damn drowsy well go consume like 8 cans worth of 8 hours of sleeps. Kabam instant regen.
That'd rock!
when did you ever drink red bull to be able to sleep betTER? :p
