Bad idea. There's no point in being king if you have no subjects.

Using genetic engineering to make every species on Earth omnivorous.

Use mind control to make the whole world my slaves?

Bad idea. That'd get boring quick.

Bad idea cause then i wouldn't be able to eat purple unicorns :D

You don't know what "omnivorous" means, do you? Humans are already omnivorous.

Repairing a nuclear reactor with duct tape.

Not sure how that'd work, but hey, why not give it a try?


Paradoxing the universe with time travel so that you are the ruler of the only habitable areas by the time you're done.

Good idea i am a good ruler :D

Telling Darth Alvectus to stop laughing.

Bad idea. He'll just ask how many times he must smack you before you act right.

Feeding Snuffaluffagus' drug habit.
 Darth Avlectus

Bad idea: he won't get all cracked out and funny if you don't starve him of his favorite.

Telling Oscar to "Get it together, grouch!"

Unnecessary. If I wanted, I could pay someone to paint it on the Xbox 360 I already own.

As a rule of thumb, always giving your buildings in Minecraft a self-destruct.

Neutral: I suppose it could have good uses, but I can't think of any off hand because that isn't typically something I'd do if I wanted my creations to survive.


Using part of a defunct ionic pro's outer casing (the part with a curvature) as a star wars-y original face mask--the front of it anyways...

Good idea. Could fit up with the aesthetic style of Star Wars very well.

Taking a brief clip of Ryan Gosling driving, making a 2 hour loop of it, and passing it off as the movie Drive on The Pirate Bay.
 Darth Avlectus

Good idea: The pissed off feedback comments alone are worth it.

Taking the waste product of white lightning (a.k.a. Moonshine--people who know better don't call it that!) production process, and using it as an ultra-volatile fuel and present it as a recycling solution and an energy solution to shut up the American Green Party.
Note: The same people who like to go north, record glaciers melting in the summertime only to propagandize it with "ZOMG polar icecaps melting--enact da policiez!!!!!11!!1~!!". (Of which a Canadian YouTuber has made me aware! :golfclap: )

Good idea, if it did what you promised and it was ultra-volatile.

Telling Christians that you hit yourself in the foot with a shovel for their mortgage.
 Darth Avlectus

#1965
Bad idea: they may decide that's worth the tradeoff.

Making a politician chip maker, basically it's just like a treechipper but meant for grinding and eating politicians up and spitting them out in chips. Works on corporate monopolists and oligarchs who don't want competition as well.

Sure....you can help me stuff ole Georgie boy in first. :devsmoke:

Telling your gullible girlfriend that she didn't actually catch you cheating.....she was just having another vivid sleep walking dream.
 Alkonium
09-08-2012, 9:30 AM
#1967
Bad idea. How do you think she'd respond to "You were dreaming about me cheating on you?", even if she believed it?

Actually making your girlfriend dream about you cheating on her.
 Darth Avlectus
09-10-2012, 10:10 PM
#1968
Good idea: her behavior will at least be predictably insecure and jealous.

The next time your son calls on the phone about the weather and says something about the town "getting 10 inches tonight", telling him "So's your mom".

Bad idea. Would you want to hear that from your dad?

Putting a creeper inside a house made of TNT in the middle of a town in Minecraft.
 Darth Avlectus

Excellent idea. Demolition makes for a great party.

Bad idea. Would you want to hear that from your dad?

I already have heard it. Not just from my dad. Friends have said it too. My boss at my auto mechanic job is also a grumpy smartass who has said similar stuff. Probably rubbing off on me. Apparently it's a trollface meme now.

Scratching your junk because "He who loves, lost, is just another hand in the bush".

Neutral. Noone would care.

Using real swords to make your own replica of the Iron Throne.
 Darth Avlectus
09-11-2012, 10:19 PM
#1972
Excellent idea. I think I've heard of that before. Someone dud it essentially to make a wineholder transformers figure.


A news channel with the crazy "I'd buy THAT for a dollar!" guy as the anchor. (It's a reference to the "dirty dave" show iirc in the reality of Robocop movies.)
 Alkonium

Good idea. Crazy people make life interesting.

Buying a house with a listing price of $1.
 Totenkopf

Good idea if the real estate market just bottomed out, if not, the saying "you get what you paid for" comes to mind...

Becoming the world's best assassin and retaining your anonymity till dying in your sleep of natural causes at a ripe old age long in the future.

Epic, but difficult idea.

The Butlerian Jihad.
 Totenkopf
09-17-2012, 2:36 AM
#1976
Would probably be more interesting to OWS types that hate "the 1%". (though that mifght change depending on how it's carried out... think George Carlin's bit on capital punishment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJb3aUwcX-Q)

Having the strength of a million people and the fine motor control not to crush things that you didn't intend to.
 Alkonium
09-17-2012, 8:13 PM

Good idea. Sounds difficult.

@Totenkopf: You don't actually know what the Butlerian Jihad is, do you?

Doing the Cinnamon Challenge with a shovel.

Scary idea. That's way too much cinnamon for my taste.






Using Tot's avi as your family crest.

Good idea. Shows people you mean business (or that you're a pirate).

Attempting to make a Nether Portal IRL.
 Totenkopf
09-18-2012, 3:19 AM
#1980
That would certainly be one way to engage in city beutification projects.

Taking people too literally.
(Looked it up, cause I took your suggestion too literally. Only read a few of the Dune books years ago. A modern day butlerian jihad would be problematic at best.)
 Alkonium

Bad idea. Shot in the dark. Enough said, really.

Fighting bullying with fire.
 Hallucination

Bad idea, but better than fighting cancer with fire.

Fighting fire with restraining orders.
 Alkonium
09-19-2012, 12:29 PM
#1983
Bad idea. Restraining orders are on paper.

Fighting fire with a chainsaw.
 purifier

Bad idea. Small plastic gas tanks have a tendency to explode when they get overheated.


Fighting fire with fire.

Bad idea. All you get is more fire.

Fighting bullying with a chainsaw.

Marvelous idea. Chainsaw massacre here we come! That'll learn'em.





Having a duel with chainsaws.
 Totenkopf
09-20-2012, 1:24 AM
#1987
A very messy idea. Don't ask me to be your second.

Executions via chainsaw and on pay-per-view no less.
 Trench
09-20-2012, 3:05 PM
#1988
Terrible idea. Don't make people pay to get in on the action.

A chainsaw gun with a chainsaw bayonet that fires explosive chainsaw bullets.
 Alkonium

Bad idea. Something's liable to jam, and then you've just wasted a lot of money.

A steam-powered chainsaw.
 Darth Avlectus
09-20-2012, 5:54 PM
#1990
Impractical idea: I'm sure it's do-able, but the sheer mass and size for something like that even with today's technology would make an end product that isn't exactly portable, and for the performance you'd get out of it for the size I estimate the more modern stuff would outperform it.

Making some strawberry vanilla jam or cherry lemon jam as an alternative to putting butter on your toast (mold the milk culture bread!) since you're lactose intolerant.
 Trench

Most excellent idea. A cherry lemon jam sounds exquisite.

National "No Underpants At Work" day.
 Hallucination

#1992
Bad idea, it's creepy if you can't tell who's participating and gross if you can.

Telling Te Melanin Man o' War 1) that you thought he was dead and 2) you remember his original name.
 Trench
09-22-2012, 12:22 PM

Neutral idea. He may or may not care.

Hallucination having a hallucination about hallucinating Hallucinations.
 Alkonium

Good idea ... I think.

Encouraging nudity in the workplace.
 Totenkopf
09-22-2012, 7:26 PM
#1995
Bad idea. Most people just ain't pretty enough for that kind of thing.

Only hiring really hot chicks that are tech-savvy to sell your hi-tech merchandise.
 Alkonium
09-22-2012, 7:43 PM
#1996
Bad idea. I can smell at least two lawsuits here.

Asking "Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, or Archer?" as the first question on a job interview.
 Trench
09-22-2012, 8:48 PM
#1997
Best idea. Imagine the workplace possibilities.

Work place discrimination based on taste in cake icing.
 Darth Avlectus
09-24-2012, 1:05 AM
#1998
Good idea: some people just don't know quality when they eat it.


A megaman game that doesn't actually have megaman in it.
 Alkonium
09-24-2012, 11:46 AM

Good idea. It's not like nothing happens when he's not around.

Pirating the Mac OS, and installing it on a PC.
 Darth Avlectus

#2000
Neutral-good: I believe there are already cases of that--good if you could get a well made copy/emulation of a current one I guess. I think you can just get legit older ones that have become freeware. I grew up on Mac actually. Other than multimedia though, why would you want Mac???

Being a bloody tampon for Halloween.
