With a good idea and a great work ethic, anyone can find success. That statement isn't true at all, but what's more important is what happens when you have a terrible idea and no work ethics. We're looking at The Idea Wiki - a place where the internet can write down its poorly considered ideas for anything at all, and then close the browser window and go back to playing Minecraft. This week, The F Plus brings the chips to you (in the end).

Sugar - A Good Idea

"In the end" might actually be neuro-linguistic programming.

I dropped an Air Bomb on you all, but other than the foul odor, it'll cause no immediate harm.

Also I don't recall ever hearing Jimmyfranks laugh so hard than in this episode. His "radio" voice makes the moronic film pitches sound all that much more ridiculous, so he made this episode a treat.

Bonus content: Here's an amazing page with a whole bunch of amazing drawings with Liefeld-esque proportions

It's also probably the longest page on any wiki ever.

I like how a huge amount of the designs are blatantly ripped from Teen Titans and various other saturday morning superhero shows

I believe that to celebrate failure is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

I especially enjoy celebrating other people's failure, so these "bad idea/no follow through" episodes are my favorites.

I kept scrolling and scrolling with no end in sight. And then, just as I'd reached the bottom, I saw there was more. Dear god. On the other hand, it's nice to see both men and women with nipple spikes.

It is in the sense that now whenever I hear the phrase "In the end" I interpret it internally as "In the ass".
It made for some inappropriate laughter bursts, and one particularly crappy Linkin Park song will never be the same for me.

Did you ever wonder why there was so much fanfic bullshit on an idea site? Hilarious Wikia drama is why.

Because the founder chose to use Wikia, the site responsible for 99.9999999% of the goddamned fan wikis on the net, the original userbase of illiterate wannabe inventors were gradually drive out by illiterate teenagers writing fanfic. But not before the founder or one of his friends threw a bitchy page up about it. (http://ideas.wikia.com/wiki/Save_the_Idea_Wiki)

For some reason, whenever anyone says "the founder" all I ever think about anymore is the Dozerfleet Founder.

And they stormed off to their own new Wikia, which has 20 pages, and only seems to have been edited by the author of that screed. But don't worry, they promise to delete any fanfiction "in sight".

So, what are these ideas that so deserved a spotless, fanfiction-free Wikia?

Knuklr (Videogame Control Concept) (http://mindlight.wikia.com/wiki/Knuklr_(Videogame_Control_Concept)):

The Knuklr is a concept for a videogame controller joystick developed by WikiMan, consisting on a joystick split in "two halves" yet functioning as one whole piece.

CPU-Powered Car (http://mindlight.wikia.com/wiki/CPU-Powered_Car):

In the near future, cars can be powered by a CPU processor that can replace the traditional car motors. This would mainly allow the movement of the car, and lead to a more ecologic and efficient car.

NewsPuppy (News App) (http://mindlight.wikia.com/wiki/NewsPuppy_(News_App)):

The user can read news coming from numerous newspapers of the country the user is in (for example, if the user is in New York, he will get news from The New York Times among others) classified by category (e.g. National, Politics, Sports, International, etc).

I'm just picturing someone working in an "Artisinal Controller Snapping Office", angrily breaking PS4 controllers in half over his knee for $10 an hour.

In the near future, cars can be powered by a CPU processor that can replace the traditional car motors. This would mainly allow the movement of the car, and lead to a more ecologic and efficient car.

"But how would we power the CPU, George?"
"Look, stupid! Computers are powered by the CPU! That's how they work!"
"No, see, computers are made up of several components, including a box you plug into the wall - "
"THAT'S THE CPU, STUPID! YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CPU!"

The user can read news coming from numerous newspapers of the country the user is in (for example, if the user is in New York, he will get news from The New York Times among others) classified by category (e.g. National, Politics, Sports, International, etc).

Oh, so like Google News, except terrible. Thanks for the idea!
