From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes VariPay, a new Demand Based Salary calculator.

Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it.

The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live.

The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced AutoHR system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops.

It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

Optional VR headset so you can get POV handjibbers from your favorite waifu.

Create a backwards Lemmy that only has below 0 rated posts, and companies pay to be excluded from the site.

Bonus: use mark to market accounting like the great Enron.

I feel like this works on multiple fronts.

1. It gives off big tough guy targeted shirt energy that's bound to give them a rush beyond what a white Monster can offer and will surely impress the waitress at Chili's.

Example of the targeted shirts I'm talking about:

!

2. It hits people with the anger than immediately follows up with the confusion. "Shouldn't the mom be riding them?" "Is this implying my mom is into pegging?"
3. Harley Davidson is the Supreme of middle aged dads and they'll buy whatever has their logo.

Maybe there could be a whole line of bee theft protection gear. Imagine a subwoofer that plays a low buzzing sound or fake hives for the passenger seat.

I believe this is our best option.

Eighteen others have pleaded guilty, and authorities said they recovered about $50 million in one of the nation’s largest pandemic-related fraud cases.

Make and AI for tech bros that automatically replaces crypto with AI in all their their powerpoints. Use the AI in your own powerpoint to blitzcale and take over the market. Then make the AI powerpoint itself to raise money, thus outsmarting the competition.

> Someone should make a variant of Khan Academy with the same content (which is under Creative Commons) but no non-libre software, call it 4khan, and list the "4 essential khans" (you khan run the program as you wish for any purpose, etc.) on the homepage

Literally a shitty million dollar idea.

Edit: Cue the bidet users storm.

Need something uncomfortably sticky in a hurry? Try the stickinator.

The plan is to replace the disinfectant with Kool Aid and the UV light with an Easy Bake Oven bulb. With people being less cautious of COVID 19 these devices are probably getting cheaper and what modern consumer doesn't love brand crossovers?

This is a shitty idea because anyone driving under the influence deserves to be tried and punished for their actions. But if this could be done, you'd have no trouble selling each pill for $1000.

Or, sell the pills for way less to those that want to get drunk off bread or pasta. Either way it's a totally plausible, feasible, potentially lucrative shitty idea.

Some people at work were kicking up toilet seat lids and angering the people doing work on the other side of the wall. It made me think about the Lunk Alarm but then I realised it would probably go off if someone took a loud shit.

I've attached a link to what the Lunk Alarm sounds like for those that don't know. It's pretty close to an air raid siren that's triggered by noise.

I found the image on Reddit while looking for demon core memes but because of Reddit's VPN block I can't give proper credit.

Wikipedia pages for those that don't know:

• Demon Core

Bonus Plainly Difficult video for those who want to learn more about the Demon Core incident. It's about 10 minutes long.

Both seem in vogue with boomers. So why not get the best of both and be the talk of the BBQ?

Maybe the text could be altered to include reference to wearing the shirt versus copying and pasting text.

The I ♥ NY shirt is so incredibly popular you don't even need to travel to New York to get it and it's been ripped off around the world.

But what about people that don't ♥ New York?

It's an untapped market. The attached image is an early draft. What does it mean to tolerate New York? I don't know.

Another version could say I Am Indifferent Towards New York.

What are gamers known for? Racism and urinating in bottles.

We take advantage of the untapped market of the latter and add RGB to milk jugs and charge 40x the price.

Why fight for the last slice of pizza when you can fight for the first?

Imagine one slice of pizza with 50% of the chicken. Could be a fun way to spice up office birthday parties.

Could be the eggnog of Halloween

Can't own a dog because home ownership has become a retirement goal in today's economy?

Worth noting some animal shelters allow volunteers to walk dogs if you are into a less late stage capitalism version of this.

Flights can come and go as they please so everyone gets to experience the thrill of running through an airport.

There would be no departing/arriving flight screens. That spoils the surprise. Connecting flights only.

A fun extra challenge for air traffic controllers.
