My Invention Idea For The Greater Good Of Mankind.

Have you seen those bicycle utility things that are popping up all over? They're a load of useful tools mounted to a post: Pump, nut tighteners, screwdriver, rack etc.

My invention is a version aimed at humans. A post in every highstreet with essential tools for the public to use when needed. I'm thinking of:
Nail clippers
Nail file
Hairbrush
Shoehorn

What else would be useful? I thought about one of those foot shaving machines but I think it would be better to stick with non-powered things.

Razor blade for stray menopausal chin hairs!

Deodorant?

I wouldn't want the nail clippers as wouldn't want to share with strangers and also would not enjoy clipping my nails in the street 😂

Razor blades could be a health and safety issue. Would tweezers do?

Eww I wouldn't want to use public nail clippers/file etc 🤢

I don’t want to use a communal hairbrush.

I was in Tesco one day and a man was using a nail clippers which he then placed back onto the hook 🤮

God no, I don't want to see people cutting toenails and pulling chin hairs in public. What about a vending machine that dispenses cold water, tea and coffee, snacks for hungry dc, and fresh fruit. We'd all get tokens to use in the machine but you have to earn tokens by doing a good deed. So picking up litter = 1 token. Giving up your seat on the bus = 1 token.

Don't we already receive tokens that we can exchange for such items, in return for doing things for other people?

Wtf is a foot shaving machine (powered or otherwise) and why would I ever have an emergency need for one in a public street?? Confused

Buddercud · 27/05/2023 06:00

all I can think of is that multi purpose gadget in the film Gremlins, that doesn’t work properly, and squirts shaving foam all over the dads face 🤣😂
