The Peeple's Court, starring Judge Nia Peeples.

Sorry, 'The Peeples' Court'.
That's just asking for a rival network to do The Peebles Court, starring Judge Mario Van Peebles.

A music app that can detect the speed at which you're driving and adjusts the tempo of the music accordingly. So 45 mph = 90 bpm, 60 mph = 120 bpm, 70 mph = 140 bpm, etc.

Figure out a way to get some generic beat going like that for runners, and you're on to something.
Just anything like "Techno_02" from a synthesizer, and when you jog at 3 MPH, you get 90 bpm; 5 mph = 120 bm, etc.
And you know you're done for the day when the beat .... just .... drags .... to ... a ... ... ... stop.

A dollar store that really sticks to the dollar price limit, so that over the years, as inflation rises, the products just get smaller and crappier

There's an app for that. It's... LUBER

The other day while falling asleep I had a weird desire to start some sort of mandela effect / collective false memory hoax that Parliament-Funkadelic was once on one of those Scooby Doo episodes with animated guest starts. Like they all traveled around in the Mothership, there would be lots of hilarious Bootsy catchphrases with canned laughter afterwards, a wacky montage where they chase the villain around while playing Give Up The Funk, etc.
