    I've a few. Inventions probabaly not even the right word . Ideas I spose

    1 - Change car tyres to balls (giggidy). Imagine how easy parallel parking would be if your car had big swiss ball type wheels. You could have a joystick instead of a steering wheel and just strafe the car left or right to get into a space. So easy. You could also spin 360 to change direction.

    2 - Webcams in pubs so you could see if it was busy / dead before ya decided to go in. Blur out the face somehow I spose

    3 - Completely online doctors. I feel sick, whats the symptoms, poof heres a pdf of a precription. No need to get outta bed. NEXT

    4 - A smart fridge that told ya exactly what was making that awful smell in there.

    5 - teeny tiny GPS stickers that couldnt be removed. Stick them on power tools, laptops, phones etc so people wouldnt steal them.

    What is it with you and your obsession with balls. You didn't lick that off a stone I'll tell ya!

    Handy aswell for me to stalk out potential victims in multiple locations remotely as once.
    3 - Completely online doctors. I feel sick, whats the symptoms, poof heres a pdf of a precription. No need to get outta bed. NEXT
    PM sent. I'll send you a prescription for 20 quid
    4 - A smart fridge that told ya exactly what was making that awful smell in there.
    Smart fridge says "The smell is coming from you"
    5 - teeny tiny GPS stickers that couldnt be removed. Stick them on power tools, laptops, phones etc so people wouldnt steal them.

    Also handy for me tracking/stalking purposes. See 3 above

    An IoT toilet roll dispenser. Will inform you via an alert that you’ve run out of toilet paper. The kinetic energy generated by taking a wad of arts degrees will power the sensor. Could be the start of the entire smart toilet platform.

    Do you not already use those invisible, ultra-real-feel ones?

    Or at least your sister believes they do when I tell her that I am wearing one :pac:

    That already exist don't they. They just don't work as a form of contraception.

    How about a cure for all sti's and a 100% working contraceptive.

    For those people talking about parallel parking already being easy. You've missed the point.

    With balls instead of tyres you could parallel park in a spot where there's only enough room for your car plus 1 inch. You could be that precise.

    You could slide into a spot almost bumper to bumper

    Don't care how "cool at driving " anybody want a to appear but there's no way anyone could park in a space like that now

    Smart locks for your front door already exist. Can be operated remotely vi app, via a tag or on proximity.
    They can lock or unlock your doors as you leave and arrive. Some even integrate with a house alarm so you just walk away and it does everything for you.

    I have done some research into this field: The toilet roll dispenser will be able to predict many weeks ahead of time when its supplies need to be replenished by analysing toilet visits and the volume of paper used per use. Indeed it will be able to order automatically from the store of the user's choosing so they're spared the embarrassment of buying toilet paper themselves from the shop.

    It's an exciting time for those involved in the toilet industry.

    A sensor for cars to stop people driving inefficiently. So the sensor would monitor the speed of the car and road conditions and not let a driver drive in a too high or low a gear. Should be mandatory that it be on every car new and old. I think it's the driving in a gear higher than the speed the car or van is going that creates that black smoke because the fuel was not burnt right. If the sensor is taken of the car the car would be taken of the owner.

    A television that knows what you like and what you would never watch.
    Then it will suggest programs for you, and after you watch it you can give the program a rating, and the television will learn as you watch.
    I will never watch Eastenders, Fair City, or any of those singing / dancing shows for celebrities or the untalented.

    They have (or at least used to have) those in Saudi.

    It was a simple but effective concept. It worked by checking whether the driving licence applicant ticked the "F" box on the application form.

    What's driving efficiently? For me it's the shortest time possible for the journey, for others it's getting the most out of a litre of fuel.

    The black smoke out of diesels is when they are working, either hard acceleration or a heavy load, and not because they are in too high a gear.

    Cup to bean coffee machine.

    You fill it up with slops of leftover coffee and out the other end comes roasted coffee beans. Any place that serves a lot of coffee would be interested in buying one because some % of the coffee made is never drank and this equates to millions of litres of coffee a year.

    Version 2 will also turn takeaway cups into coffee beans but there might never be a need to make this if said cups are banned
