Here's one that will solve world hunger, save the rain forest and bring a whole new meaning to eating on the run
I've been kicking this one around for a long time and each and every time I share it people are pretty much rendered speechless with it's sheer awesomeness and simplicity.
Sometimes I, like other people, read the news. And when I do it's usually filled with stories of things like cat rapists and people getting thrown in Saudi Arabian prisons for stupid shit like kissing. Every once in a while there might be a heart warming story, like, say, a 75 year old wo-man finding true happiness by finally getting the gender reassignment surgery of his-her dreams, albeit later in life. But it's usually pretty horriffic. Earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches, famine, assholes cutting down the Amazon Jungle. You know what I'm talking about. Often I get moved by a sad story and inspired to lend a helping hand, usually by way of donating 2 or even 5 dollars via Paypal. Because dude, I am so part of the solution. But then the motivation to help/save the world wears off shortly thereafter because I realize I have been sitting at a computer for like 12 consecutive hours and haven't eaten since yesterday. And not on purpose.
And then one day it just hit me. Both the world AND I have problems. We're alike like that. And we all know that every problem has a solution. Duh. What if not one, not two, but three of these birds could be pretend-killed by one proverbial stone?
World, let me introduce the concept of Flesh Mushrooms (and yes, of course, I bought the dot com. like ages ago.) What if people started growing their own food supply on their backs? I mean unless you are a gymnast that has to do a lot of back bends, your back is pretty much just sitting around doing a lot of nothing for the most part. That's why everyone says 'Whaddya think, I have eyes on the back of my head'? in a joking manner. People are blind to the comings and goings of their backsides. You won't even really notice if you have a little corn, beans, or (my personal favorite) a small patch of mushrooms going on back there. And if everyone pitches in and starts a little self-contained sustainable farming, we can collectively put the forest clearing assholes out of business. McDonald's won't need to buy South America to raise cows BECAUSE NO ONE WILL EAT FAST FOOD ANYMORE.
After all, how much faster can your food be than if it's running around with you?
