A large company used my idea.

In related news, I came up with the "It's a beautiful thing" line years before Blimpie used it in their ads. Outrage not impending.

i emailed nabisco and keebler on creating a samoa girl scout cookie out of season so we can heave goodness all year long and keebler implemented the idea. they are pretty good too.

 

[jessieqwert]

Did you come up with the insultingly high fees as well?

 

[reallyscrued]

No. I was here in like 1999 and lost my account through some forum issue whne a ton of people lost their accounts. Your the fuckin noob. The equiv of a hardocp 15k.

lol, anyone that continues to interact with you after this post seriously has nothing better to do.

Me and a childhood friend conceptualized "Sims" back in the late 80's - we were both heavy in the nascent era of video games. Think we ever saw a penny from Maxis or EA?

Another thing I came up with as a kid, but no capital to put it to play was a free energy device. You have a light bulb powering a solar panel. You need to initially feed it with the same energy required for the light bulb for a small instant then it powers itself, and you can tie into it to get as much energy as you want. Of course, this would not actually work but as a kid I thought it would.

Another thing was you have a disc that can rotate, and you have magnets on it at an angle, and more magnets on the stationary part that are spaced in a way where the magnets never fully align, so the force of one would push the wheel one step, then next magnet would push it again and so on. It would turn forever. Not that it would work though but as a kid I thought it would. In concept it seems that it could work though but or course you can't have perpetual motion.

Lol @ self ownage.

I had a really good idea once......

Did it involve jumping and a mat with conclusions on it???

Shhhhhh, that's MY idea!

 

[MonKENy]

You keep saying that. :hmm:

You keep being retarded

 

[Mixolydian]

You keep being retarded

I are not retarded.

 

[Phanuel]

I are not retarded.

I might be, all these years of exposure to Alky posts.

 

[dighn]

for this idea to implement now, they probably have been working on this for months, so you didn't really come up with this idea...so sorry.

also, op probably isn't the only person to suggest that, also, obvious idea is obvious

 

[IronWing]

I came up with the idea of using bank drive through style pneumatic tubes and directional drilling to ship drugs across the border. I thought about patenting the idea as a drug delivery system. Sending patent infringement notices to the Mexican cartels didn't strike me as a winsome proposition so I dropped the idea.

Also, what's with the hydra of dickheads in this thread?

I had this idea once...it's like this network of inter-connected computer systems, you know?

On a family roadtrip we discussed the concept of opposite day in great depth. Not long after, guess what Spongebob episode debuts? :'(

I met a guy who told me he invented the iPhone. He didn't.

I sent an email suggesting this last month or the month before. Today I got an email announcing it and they never even said thank you.

If they had thanked you, they would have been opening themselves up towards payouts as a result of acknowledging your idea. :hmm:

Did you use a series of tubes to make it?

sorry, it was already done in the game Little Computer People in the early 80s. played it on the C64, loved it. better than the sims.
