your terrible ideas

lol

There could be a Tetris 99 onliine multiplayer version, which would just be 100 people shrugging their shoulders and going WTF?!

I'm picturing an alternative mode which is just one giant rectangle, one block narrower than the width of the board, slowly dropping and eventually filling the entire board. Except for that one empty column, of course.

And maybe have a display on the side showing that the next block up is a 1x4.

I don't think the 2x2-only game would be over very quickly. It'd quickly be too easy to be considered a game, though.

this reminds me of the time I played a pc version of tetris and for whatever reason for just this one game basically 3 out of every 4 blocks was a 4x1. I made a ridiculously high score and I never got that weird glitch again after that so there was always this completely unattainable high score.

So anyway, turn this bug into a feature in Tetris 99, make it so it happens like maybe once every 1000 games or whatever.

A version of Tetris where you wait and wait and the blocks never fall and then eventually digital rain starts to fall instead and the game board slowly fills with digital water and then like twenty minutes later one sad little block ploops into the water and slowly sinks to the bottom.

avocado insurance. you pay them a $10 premium every month (or $90 upfront for the year), and they will replace all of your large pitted, speckled, or stringy avocado purchases. you can also get coverage for damages sustained when you unknowingly give a bad avo to a friend and feel like shit about it afterward.

they pay you a day's wage while you take off work to plan how you can make it up to your avo friend or possibly decide if they will continue to be your avo friend

you can hire someone to write your resume. you should also be able to hire someone to write your peer performance reviews.

silverfish, I initially read "pc" as "politically correct" and I in my head I constructed a mock-indignant bit like "SEE? The snowflake libs and their participation trophies and their tender feewings make everything too easy! It's political correctness GONE MAD! Gone mad, I tell you!"

There is a subgenre of books by women who recover from the agonies of life by rescuing dogs. There is another subgenre of books by women who recover from the agonies of life by moving to Tuscany. What about a book following a woman, seeking to recover from the agonies of life, who moves to Tuscany and starts rescuing local dogs? (I've done enough research to discover that Maremma Sheepdogs are the dogs she'd be rescuing.)

Ok but only if written from a dog's point of view.

"Signora Karen, she gave us the bone from her osso bucco. Then she wept at the beauty of the sunset. Whatever, as the Americans say. I turned away and began to lick my butt."

Y'know, terrible ideas are only terrible in the wrong hands.

What I'm saying here is: kid, you got the goods.

You talkin about cans

A mobile phone case specifically aimed at lol hueg phablet users (like the upcoming Samsung S20 Ultra) that makes the phone look like an Apple Newton MessagePad.

A phone that unfailingly shreds any pocket you try to stuff it into.

Posting recordings of Bach cantatas to youtube under incorrect, fake German titles that include the word "Bieber"

BWV 742: Gottes Meine Bieber Freunde

BWV 139: Ich Bin Von Bieber Nicht Mitte Jesu

Again, this is the thread for terrible ideas.

The idea of these videos just gradually proliferating across youtube until they dominate all Bach cantata content is really getting me, especially the image of confused Bach fans and scholars commenting that the titles appear to be incorrect

BWV 72: Widergest eine Bieber, zehr geist vom zu kirchejahr

Or Bieber fans who become Bach fans thanks to these videos and disseminate these incorrect titles far and wide.

I posted some tv show opening credits with the wrong theme tunes (without labeling them as such) a few years back, it seemed to make people furious, which was the intended effect tbh.

There are many 'terrible' ideas along these lines that I would gleefully undertake if we weren't, as a society, at an all-time credulity peak and if this, our reality, weren't so close to disintegrating altogether as a result.

In phase 2, I would post videos of myself in professorial garb at a lectern, delivering plagiarized lectures on bach cantatas that sub in the "bieberized" titles

I love this -- are they still up?

Here is the only one I can find

HAHAHA

I feel like the Sanford and Son theme would be great for a lot of them. Maybe every show with the Sanford and Son theme.

My gf a couple years back made me two t-shirts for my birthday: one with a picture of the Monkees under the Air Supply logo, and one with just Nesmith and Dolenz labeled as Hall and Oates. So speaking as an idiot who finds this like the apex of comedy, I salute you.

Yessssssss. I knew of another site like that but I think they got shut down. Probably for being geniuses.

Not my terrible idea, but someone has made real the terrible idea of a superbright bicycle headlight that strobes.

The Music Man made as a movie musical where it's brought into the 21st century, and Henry Hill comes to a small impoverished American town to teach a group of misfit young kids how to mumble rap.

A couple of days ago I tried putting Golden Syrup on cheese & onion crisps. I thought that the sweet and savoury flavours might work together, but instead they cancelled each other out somehow and the result tasted slightly sweet with a hint of potato/cardboard and nothing else.

Golden Syrup on Salt & Vinegar crisps surprisingly good however.

Good for you, you kept on going.

dystopian novel set in future american civil war where both sides are being financially backed by tv channels making reality shows

both channels turn out to be owned by the same company

or something like that

How about the same premise, except it's the actual American Civil War of the 1860s.

"General Johnston, you've been eliminated."

"General Sickles, you have immunity, so you will continue to the next round, but I'm gonna need that leg."

a law that allows adults with braces to skip airport security. clearly, they plan to be alive for awhile.

An advert for Bisto gravy that uses Ottowan's 'DISCO' for the music, and it's set in a recreation of Studio 54. Except people on the dancefloor are smearing themselves in gravy and snorting gravy powder like cocaine etc..

here is my terrible idea:

an underwear line made up entirely of thongs silkscreened with Bloomberg's face

Do you mean garments upon which Bloomberg's visage has been applied via silkscreen or do you mean that someone has removed Bloomberg's face and is using it to silkscreen garments

I think like the Turin shroud

removing Bloomberg's face is not a terrible idea

This is not my terrible idea but WOW is it terrible
