History is awash with examples of incredible discoveries, inventions and innovations that we take for granted today, but were widely mocked as crazy when they first came to light. Maybe, just maybe, there is future genius hidden in some of these ideas, taken from the subreddit CrazyIdeas.
I mean, who thought that injecting people with a benign form of disease to immunize them was a good idea at first? Or putting wings on a tube and attempting to fly in it? Absolute madness!
What we have here is a list a crackpot ideas that nobody could ever take seriously. Or could they? Some are undoubtedly just stupid and funny, others are actually rather insightful. There is even the odd nugget of genius where you think “hey, that could actually work!”
Scroll down to check out the latest batch of crazy ideas from the internet’s hive mind, and don’t forget to vote for your favourites!

A reality show idea with gay men.
11 gay men and 1 straight man are locked in a house. The object for the gay men is to find out who isn't gay. Once a week someone gets outvoted, until 2 are left, or the straight man is out. If the gays manage to outvote him, they win 1 million dollars. If the straight man is among the 2 last people in the house in the end, he wins 1 million dollars.
Now here's the twist: None of the men are actually gay, they just all think they are the one straight man.

Add this to the list: After the Presidents term is done, another vote should be held to decide if voters thought he/she did a good job. "Did the President do a good job?" Just a Yes/No ballot. If the "no" tallies are more than the "yes" tallies, then the President should be forced to do 4 years of community service (ie feeding the poor, picking trash from highways, visiting the sick in hospitals etc).
Rafaella Bueno 6 years ago
This would backfire. Politicians already prioritize short term quick fixes over much needed long term structural changes because they need to show off work during their time in order to get reelected. They'd gladly do something they know will f**k things up in the future if it seems like a good idea in the present. Way too many people don't think long term and always link both good and bad things directly to the person in office at the time... gotta do things that have short term visible results, and if it causes trouble in the future, whatever, f**k the guy who'll come after you.
