I had this idea about 5 months back. (Even made a video about it on my channel.) It's... Phantom of the Ghetto. It's Phantom of the Opera, but of course set in the... Ghetto. Thus is the product of my mind at 3 in the morning when talking to my Nerdfighter/Phantom friend on Facebook.
HANK! There is this website called gojee.com which does the recipe database and the favourite/liked/unliked foods to make those foods but it doesn't have the health index :)
I tried reading Lord of the Flies about a week ago but didn't like it very much. I figured that this was because I don't want to *read* a desert island novel, I want to *write* one. So now my best friend and I are writing and editing one together and IT. IS. ALL. I. CAN. THINK. ABOUT.
@BeatrixNemesis ummmmm.... O_O ARE YOU ME FROM THE PAST??? me and a friend did the same exact thing!! (except i liked lord of the flies, i just wanted to make another)
i have an idea but I don't know where to let it out so ill say it here i think that there should be an id that you have to make just to bye cigarette so it takes a long time to just to by them also when you quite you have to turn in that id and to start smoking again you have to remake that id.
I don't know if you call this brain crack or boredom. But, my friend was gone for the weekend, and so I wrote a list if random stuff. It ended to be 16 parts long.
My idea was stolen! Stolen by ebil brain-reading scientists! My grandpa and I thought up internet glasses first! Like the cell phone internet, only cooler, because the ear peices would have headphones attached, the keyboard would be an illusion on the side that shows the world around you, and the other side of the glasses would be the screen. The mouse would simply be your eyes! Voila, internet attached to your face! This product comes in all perscriptions and includes optional sunglasses!
Brain crack. . . I think that there should be, like, shopping playlists so that you can like, request music to be played at the grocery store. Like, shopping to the beat?
Brain crack for me : Squeezable sour cream. I HATE when I'm making tacos and I get a spoonfull of sour cream and it clumps ALL OVER THE PLAVE!! *Giant squid of anger* Instead, SOMEONE PLEASE invent a bottle that is squeezable for sour cream. It's a good idea... It would do well.
my brain crack for a while now i think, is like a clean public kitchen i guess for people who travel and would still like to eat a home cooked meal, it would have fresh produce of course and it'd be a kitchen! people could cook! and it would be relatively cheap i hope, what do you think? i thought it was brilliant! but maybe not :/
This may have already been answered but in regards to your "Death Index", DALYs (Disability Adjusted Life Years) are the sum of years of potential life and productive life lost to both premature mortality and disability. Neglected tropical diseases such as Human African Trypanosomiasis have a far larger DALY than dementia for example as the former often afflicts young children and adults not only reducing their lifespan but keeping them out of the work force etc.
When I was a kid I remember my grocery store had something similar to a Recipe Kiosk. You could go through recipes and print them off at the store! :)
In addition to the recipe index thingamajig, I want a site where you can enter what you already have and then it looks for thinks you can make without even going to the supermarket. It would make grocery shopping more cost effective, too. My mom buys a lot of herbs or special ingredients that we use once and then they just sit there and it makes me sad.
Purpus: cut down on travel time more to do more work like making new ideas be better rested to concentrate better to not only be more focused but more efficient any comennts e-mail me at nikoliishot@aim.com D.F.T.B.A. (sorry about the spelling)
The Epicurious free app has a function where it will give you the recipe and also a separate list of the ingredients you'll need. It's really handy for remembering what you need to get.
@asemon2000 Actually, he has a time limit. All the videos he makes have to be four minutes or less. He talks really fast because he has to say a lot in that small amount of time. :) He's not trying to sound cool, he just has a lot of ideas.
As a response to the idea of a Charity/Non-Profit data base, there are some websites that kind of already exist. For instance thehungersite and care2 allow users to donate with the click of a button to various causes, and also give tips on how people can get involved. There is also Freerice that allows you to answer fun trivia questions as a way to donate! So you get to grow your brain AND help people. ^__^
I have ideas like this all the time but there's no way a person like me will get it going. I'll go to the patent office, try to patent it, and WHILE it's pending, another company will see it, get it patented before me (connections); stealing my idea. They forge papers saying they thought of it first. Go ahead take'em to court because their lawyerS makes your lawyeR look like a car salesmen from the bronx with an I.Q of twelve!
Not saying it's impossible, but it's very difficult these days.
I would bethe worlds worst inventor, because I have no ideas that someone else has not already though of. however, many of the things have not yet been made. like the little ball in star wars 2 (the second trilogy) where all the lights are projected into the air and it is the map of the galaxy. yeah. I want one of those
Ok so my brain crack is, what I think, would make an awesome med school application essay. Instead of just going on about the list a reasons why you want to be a doctor and all the usual crap admission people hear all the time, write a story about a character who is trapped in a human body and has to find his way out. Along the way he can stop at each organ and learn something about his self that also parallels your learning why you wanted to become a doctor.
I'm sure someone has told you this by now, but the recipe kiosk is a thing now! There's one in the big trendy fresh market place downtown and I thought it was the COOLEST THING when I found it.
Hey Hank, I know this is coming to you like almost 2 years late and that you probably won't get to read this but I have an alternative solution to your brain crack problem! Okay so in Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield, there is a character called Mr Dick, ( I know, great character name Mr Dickens) and he has a huge case of Brain crack and he deals with this by writing all his thoughts on the kites he makes and he flys them off into the sky!! How cute?!?!
Protective gloves that go up to your elbows and stop your cat from eatting you when you're play fighting with it. They would make your arms less emo/self harmy are playing with your cat.
Protective gloves like that would also be good for people with fur allergies.
No one else seems to be posting braincrack ideas, but oh well.
RFID tags in all grocery store items so you could purchase them as you walk out the door. This could be accomplished with another id tag on everyone's credit card or you could just swipe the card at the door. Once the id tags are in place, it wouldn't be too hard to create a smart grocery store that knows exactly what items are in stock, where they are, and how many are available. This information could be available at computer stations around the store and even on the store website.
Okay, I have this idea of a food-eating dishwasher. Instead of trowing the food away, you feed it to the dishwasher which will use it as a power source, just as we do. That way, the food you didn't eat, wont come to waste! :D
Okay,how about an online video game set on an infinite set of stairs, where the things you find there follow a definite pattern, but you only interact with people on the same step as you.Or, an online forum with an option to throw other people's posts into the"insane asylum" which would be publicly accessible, and would still appear on the original forum. and this asylum would be organized by the number of times posts were comitted, from "a little weird" to "fucking batshit insane and then some
I don't know if this qualifies as brain crack, but I've been thinking... you know electromagnetic induction? If not, look it up. Basically you need something that spins, and then you can have electricity - like in a windmill. So why don't we put power-making induction thingies on all four wheels of a car, so that when the wheels are spinning, it generates power to drive the car? (Admittedly, you would have to start it up first, but from there, couldn't it work?)

Hey Hank.. i just tried to share this vid on a site to try encourage people to free their brain crack.. only to find out this vid is marked to not allow playing elsewhere. could you change that or message me back as to why? the video this is on is "Dr. Manhattan's Dangle and Brain Crack " just in case this message appears randomly somewhere else
Hank, in regard to your death index... cancer does not kill only, or even mostly, old people. Cancer actually delights in killing young people as well. My mother is currently dying of cancer, and she is definitely not at the old and should be dying age...
OMG the recipe shopping idea is SO good! I had a similar idea where you could pick recipes for the week, and then it would make a grocery list of everything you need. Because I always try to plan stuff out, and then when I get home after grocery shopping I always find I've bought too much of one thing, and completely forgotten another integral part of the recipe!
why do all the famous "VLOGGERS" try to act like their funny when their just not!!!!!!!!!! your just annoying man. did you do a line of coke before this video???
@eatitallnightlong He just has to talk fast, and hes not trying to be funny, hes trying to get his ideas out. Why did you write vloggers like this: "VLOGGERS"? It looks like you dont know when to use capitals.
@eatitallnightlong Vloggers often become famous because several people find them funny. You aren't amused by this channel, fine; many of us are, so we'll continue watching. Also, since you're trying to say "they are" you mean "they're," not "their." ("You're" for the same reason.)
@eragonlover1 "win" ... as in, every nerdfighter generously gives them $100? yes, or, they could try and win the lottery. i think the former wold be simpler and actually give more money in the end...
@CreativePants Actually if a pretty woman lives with a man & it's not her husband she's probably just living with him because he's her gay friend. -__-
@kaleidostar88 About the recipe kiosk, a group of friends presented that idea on SSSW08
I have some ideas, I pick the best ones and I try to put my time on them, which doesn't give me much time to go to parties, pubs and that stuff to meet people. Now, where is my pretty woman?*
PS: I don't do drugs, so I speak more slowly, but time is useful to understand me anyways
* Did that sound desperate? anonymity in the internet is great :D If you find me in the SSSW08 tell me so that I edit that :P
I really have to thank you for this vlog. It made me realize that the book I am supposed to be writing with my friends is Brain Crack. It has been Brain Crack for entirely too long and now I know that I need to light a butt fire to get the book on its way. Thank you for helping me realize that my friends and I are all on Brain Crack. Admitting it is one of the first steps....so they tell us in Brain Crack rehab.
Taco bars. Not sure which would be better--like a salad bar or an alcohol-type bar. One relleno, one burritto, one tacooooo (one scotch, on burbon, one beer parody)
I dig all of those ideas! Especially the recipe kiosk. If we can get someone who can program kiosks, I'd be willing to help out with that one and get it implemented.
Also, I'll have to pull out a list of my brain crack ideas and either do a video response or post them in comments.
Okay, so I had this idea and I didn't really know where else to release this braincrack. So my idea is a cook-book based around the concept of making as little mess as possible. All the dishes are rated by mess-made or mess-potential and the whole point is to cook without having to clean. I'm not sure what it should be called yet and I not certain it's an original idea but there it is, my braincrack for the day.
Aren't all dictionaries (except for those for the hearing impaired, perhaps) written...? So couldn't you theoretically just look at the word and see how it's spelled?
about the recipe idea. add a section where you can add your current inventory and it rounds it down for your best selection so you don't have to buy lots of unnecessary groceries.
Free yourself to getting your ideas ripped off, via blogs and what not from people who profit off them. Major buisnesses, cool idea. Imagine yourself..not making money.
I don't know if it is considered "Brain Crack" but I've wondered recently what would happen if you put a marshmallow in a pressure cooker... Since marshmallows expand when they heat up and a pressure cooker cooks under pressure would the marshmallow expand or stay the same? And when the marshmallow is hot and you suddenly removed the lid releasing the pressure would the marshmallow explode?
Some one should create a website where people can post their brain crack ideas that they can't actually put into practice and then people who can make this stuff happen can go and create it.
Death index. Thumbs up. How about implants into your eyes that block out everything but what your looking for. Much like iTunes searching for a song in your library.
i get brain crack at like 6am when i wake up cause i'm hungry
brain crack: a waterproof, flameretardent band thing u put at the top of your chest and when you're feeling: emo/suicidal or murderous or something, it shoots electricity, temperature, and hormones through your body to make u feel better
ahhhh I love the recipe kiosk!!! Again, can't believe no-ones thought of this!
I really need to do one of these... My brain is so clogged with ideas I'm surprised it hasn't already cracked :-p My problem is I've always been nervous that someone will steal all my ideas and become multi millionaires... While I sit watching youtube wishing I had created it myself :-p
If you post a vid with ur ideas, then someone happens to do it after u've already voiced it... Is it counted as copyright?
I like your idea of personalized recipies, but I would go even further to start a service kind of like Pandora in that it would show you recipies that you might like (and exclude things you're allergic to.
Idea #2 is good - but it's already been addressed and anaylyzed by biostatisticians. Check out YPLL - years of potential life lost. It's just not well publiciized

I don't know if this qualifies as brain crack, but I've been thinking... you know electromagnetic induction? If not, look it up. Basically you need something that spins, and then you can have electricity - like in a windmill. So why don't we put power-making induction thingies on all four wheels of a car, so that when the wheels are spinning, it generates power to drive the car? (Admittedly, you would have to start it up first, but from there, couldn't it work?)

Hank, in regard to your death index... cancer does not kill only, or even mostly, old people. Cancer actually delights in killing young people as well. My mother is currently dying of cancer, and she is definitely not at the old and should be dying age...

OMG the recipe shopping idea is SO good! I had a similar idea where you could pick recipes for the week, and then it would make a grocery list of everything you need. Because I always try to plan stuff out, and then when I get home after grocery shopping I always find I've bought too much of one thing, and completely forgotten another integral part of the recipe!

@eatitallnightlong Vloggers often become famous because several people find them funny. You aren't amused by this channel, fine; many of us are, so we'll continue watching. Also, since you're trying to say "they are" you mean "they're," not "their." ("You're" for the same reason.)

Actually he has a very pretty woman who lives with him and everything!
So gay might not be the best way to describe him, if you wanted to say something hurtful, I would say,
"Hank Green has an annoying voice, and I find his insight neither helpful, nor insightful."
But I kind of like Hank, he's a cool guy so I wouldn't say that.
Or I'd say;
"Hank sometimes comes off as flamboyant as if he wanted to have a romantic relationship with another man."
That's probably more your speed.

@kaleidostar88 About the recipe kiosk, a group of friends presented that idea on SSSW08
I have some ideas, I pick the best ones and I try to put my time on them, which doesn't give me much time to go to parties, pubs and that stuff to meet people. Now, where is my pretty woman?*
PS: I don't do drugs, so I speak more slowly, but time is useful to understand me anyways
* Did that sound desperate? anonymity in the internet is great :D If you find me in the SSSW08 tell me so that I edit that :P

It has been Brain Crack for entirely too long and now I know that I need to light a butt fire to get the book on its way. Thank you for helping me realize that my friends and I are all on Brain Crack. Admitting it is one of the first steps....so they tell us in Brain Crack rehab.

Okay, so I had this idea and I didn't really know where else to release this braincrack. So my idea is a cook-book based around the concept of making as little mess as possible. All the dishes are rated by mess-made or mess-potential and the whole point is to cook without having to clean. I'm not sure what it should be called yet and I not certain it's an original idea but there it is, my braincrack for the day.

Aren't all dictionaries (except for those for the hearing impaired, perhaps) written...? So couldn't you theoretically just look at the word and see how it's spelled?

I don't know if it is considered "Brain Crack" but I've wondered recently what would happen if you put a marshmallow in a pressure cooker... Since marshmallows expand when they heat up and a pressure cooker cooks under pressure would the marshmallow expand or stay the same? And when the marshmallow is hot and you suddenly removed the lid releasing the pressure would the marshmallow explode?
