Sonic The Hedge. A deliberately unplayable Game Mod of the first Sonic The Hedgehog game: Sonic's sprite is replaced by a bush, and the controls don't actually do anything because bushes don't move. Maybe nothing happens because you're stuck on the first screen. Or maybe eventually Robotnik comes by in gardening clothes and uses a hedge clipper on you. This all stems from a silly meme I did where I cut off the last 3 letters of the original Sonic logo, then photoshopped his legs onto a picture of a hedge.

Then there was my old high school friend's idea to make a film called Die Hard, except this one is one shot of a Diehard brand battery for two hours.

Going deep sea diving with a Soviet IP-5 (if you don't get why this is a bad idea, look at the "filter canister" section on that website)

Awe 921, don't forget to bring some friends to take a video/photo of you dying to discourage people from doing this, like Russian parkourist Mr Pavel Kashin di(e)d.

A charity stream where we get a bunch of people from different walks of life, have them read something with dialogue but no voice acting (comic, video games, etc.), and have "make this reader do impression of [character] as they read" for a donation incentive.

The idea came from a special needs kid I knew in high school who loved it whenever I did impressions of various characters (which were frankly a mixed bag from a quality standpoint, but he didn't care).

The possum is a potential perpetrator; he did place possum poo in the plum pot.

Some dumb D&D item ideas:

Gloves of Sandiwchmaking: A pair of gloves that make you an expert at making Sandwiches... and that's it. ( Well, the sandwiches would give bonuses and junk but it's still dumb).

Book of Exhaustion: A magical book that, when opened, can put anyone to sleep. Upon being opened it immediately starts reading it's own contents in the most monotone voice ever. It comes in several versions on several topics which can be specially selected for maximum effect by using a book on whatever subject the target finds most boring.

And so,ething someone else came up with

Clutching Pearls: A pearl necklace that, when asked, will always tell you the worst possible outcome of a situation.

A DND curse that forces people to go through an hour and a half worth of math lessons. The curse summons a maths tutor that sits down with you and talks you through the basics of trigonometry and such as though you were about to take a maths exam tomorrow, although you're not actually taking one.

They're nice, though.

Species and appearance are optional.

Oh god why!

Wand of Mild Cold: When used it induces a mild cold in the opponent. They will be runny nosed and a little dizzy but otherwise are still able to function normally.

At which point Mr. Johnson opens a merch store, sells it, and takes credit for the invention.

a game about a chicken and emu with cannons attached to their backs firing eggs powered by their C a l c i u m raiding a tower of evil of evils with gameplay similar to Contra. the chicken is the novice and the emu is the veteran (emu war and all that).
