Have you ever invented something?
What was it?
Please describe your invention(s) and (if possible) post either a photo or a drawn picture of it.

that one didn't go over so well.

well asking questions is a great start! now you can continiue by asking
a) what makes people happy?
or
b) what makes people unhappy?
then just write down your answers, and see if you can do something with them. Perhaps asking more specific questions!

nope. i tested it a the radio station where pomme worked when we were 16, then, 15 minutes later when i could walk again i retired it in one of our pal's basements.
it never really got out of the prototype phase.

well.. e.g. what makes me happy:
* good music.
now one could think of lots of related questions:
* What would improve my listeningexperience?
it depends on what kind of experience I want. * A live-show would be great, and it'd take me close to the artist. * Or I can just be in my house and relax every muscle/organ so all that is left is my ears, breath slow/deep, perhaps turn down the lights and really focus on the sounds that I am hearing.
* Or other senses can work together with the music to create an experience together, e.g. a musicvideo works for the eye and the ear.
well I will have to go on a quite long time now to get to actual things, and perhaps in this case the most "innovative" thing I could come up with would maybe be something to stimulate my senses with while listening to music - that is'nt visual.
Perhaps some food you can buy that goes with the music you want to listen to - or some smells you can inhale to create an experience together with the music.
Abstract tastes / smells together with abstract music. I am totally lost in my text.

when i become a genetic engineer i'm going to invent a retractable butt-tube™ (like an elephant's trunk), so people can take a dump standing up.
great for traveling, and those nasty gas station bathrooms.

people are increasingly detatched from nature by technology, so, i think they feel increasingly intimidated by it, and uncomfortable in it.
not to mention the fact that through massive marketing schemes by corporations, and drug companies we are conditioned to feel unhappy. and, that by buying their product we can attain happiness. true happiness is only a prescription away, or one SUV out of reach.
tv shows & movies pump exciting versions of reality down our throats that aren't at all like what we experience in our mundane daily lives, which makes us feel all the more unfulfilled.
that being said, a hundred or so years ago happiness was only having to work 80 hours a week, a meal that wasn't maggot infested, and having all four limbs when you died.

yeah. the thing is, nothing beats nature, especially when it comes to good air/environment VS bad (polluted) air/environment and good food VS bad food.
But all technology isn't bad... As they say at Rebelscum; "you couldn't explode a live-drummer into a million distorted pieces..."

I once invented a way of fertilizing pigs so that they grew wings. when they were ready for harvest, i harvested them.
the wings made great soda.

yes, ice cream cone remainders
essentially it would be a bag of the end of ice cream cones, full of ice cream - they would be about an inch long and you could toss a couple in your mouth for shits and giggles
always liked the end the most and always wanted a bunch of em w/o having to eat 10 whole cones
ive debated "inventing" this but im lazy and busy - odd combination

Me and my mate invented a bong that you could flavour the smoke by putting different combinations of liquid in three different containers that the smoke filtered through. I recall cherryade and mouthwash was particularly awesome.
