I used my first pay toilet in Europe and I was at first disgusted, a whole euro to use the bathroom! Preposterous!
But after a few days of tooling around Prague and Istanbul I was delighted to see a pay toilet, I knew it would be clean the stall doors would go all the way to the ground and I would finally get to pee.
Not my idea but I saw a guy on YouTube that makes somewhat impractical but unique inventions that are 3D printed. He created a contraption that you eat your taco over and it fills in a new taco by catching the stuff that falls out of your first taco. I really wanna buy one, but it is so ridiculous.
The same guy created a 3D printed cactus where the spikes are toothpicks making it a decorative toothpick holder. He also made a pumpkin that opens up into a chess board where the pieces are gourds. He makes all kinds of weird things but people order them. It's all novelty though. There is also a coaster that effectively can turn your couch arms into a cup holder. There are so many things if I find his profile I will link it.
I will sell deals. Great deals! 20% to 80% off following complex rules that you will enjoy keeping track of. Discounts if you haggle well. Coupons too!
50% off on repeat purchases! Referral codes giving kickbacks in the form of discounts!
You will feel like you are a very smart and savvy consumer when you shop with me.
You won't buy a specific product or receive anything after payment, though. The shopping experience is what you pay for.
I've never understood why companies continue to send me junk mail even after I call them and ask to be removed from their mailing list, or that the person they're mailing hasn't lived at my address in years.
Like, what do they expect to happen- that I'll somehow become more inclined to purchase whatever they're selling instead of associating their brand name with a sense of frustration/annoyance?
A money machine. It just prints money that isn't considered counterfeit. But you need to have a license to operate it, which is only given to a government office. What makes it impractical isn't the silliness of the machine, but the level of bureaucracy and the fact it already exists so while it makes money, it doesn't make money.

My litteral enshittification idea is coin operated flushing on public toilets.

Guess I won't flush then. Enjoy your heap of shit.
Just like I have seen people piss on the door of toilets that charge entry fees.

BaaS (Bathrooms as a service) is unironically something I would consider paying for, especially when I'm travelling.

That's not just impractical that's a .... unnecessary invention

Clearly your not putting enough stuff in your tacos then
1/4 of mine end up falling out and I eat it as a kind of taco salad with a fork after

No, I was referring to the "unnecessary inventions" youtube channel

The oversized head pictures are very funny.

They have them. Kind of. They are called Beardo's. They are really just knitted beards you can wear over your face.

The money store. You go there to buy money, and that's how the store makes money.
Shit I think I invented banks nm

Oh man, you should sell this idea to those dopamine sites where you don't actually buy anything
Deestan@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 69d
Good tip! I'll give them a special discount
justaman123@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 69d
Can I apply this tip to my current discount? Im really trying to fill up my punch card, and an extra 15 percent off couldn't hurt

Sean Lock's (RIP) coupons are pretty similar. He even made a coupon for shoplifting; and you'd only have to cash it if you get caught ;)

Paying someone else to go to the bathroom for me.

Poo, yes!
But I kinda enjoy peeing. I drink tons of water, and peeing clear is a pretty nice reinforcement.
Aneb@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 69d
People do that already. It's pretty lucrative if you can pass too.

The cost of taking people off the mailing list is higher than the cost of the mail?
