Blogs I Want to Make

I have great ideas for blogs for this thing they call "the internet." Won't you please make them so that I have more to read? var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-38606155-1']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })();

WrodCluods.com

My latest hobby is misreading word clouds (i.e. as if they were meant to be phrases or sentences) - maybe someone should make a blog out of that. It's like a word search, but better more ridiculous.

Post 1: Here's one themed around what I eat in a normal week - can you find them all?

banana salad

sea tortillas

beer kale

chicken bread

egg coffee

chocolate avocado

grey lemonade

CanIRecycleThis?com

I want go to a website, enter a zip code or address, and immediately be able to know what I can recycle there, if anything needs to be pre processed (cleaned, broken into pieces), and information on when and where to recycle. Better yet, make it a phone app that uses your current location. 

Ex. Cambridge, MA - Yes you can recycle that small piece of aluminum foil and no one cares that it still has residual pizza on it. We will recycle literally anything. It will get picked up on Thursdays, or you can find recycling cans that look like this on many major streets.

Podunk, Mississippi - That bottle that says recyclable? Technically you can recycle that, but you have to take it to a nearby recepticle, here's a map of the nearest 3 spots.

Much of this information in available from local websites, but does not exist in one common place. I would use this all. the. time. What does that say about me?

PlentyOfCatfish.com

All of us have heard the phrase "there are always more fish in the sea" and rolled our eyes.

All of us online daters have heard of the website Plenty of Fish, advertising around that pun.

All the cheesy TV lovers among us know about Catfish, a movie-now-tv-show about people online claiming to be someone they are not.

In conclusion, why is there not a dating website centered around the concept of NOT being yourself? You are not allowed to use your own photos, you are encouraged to inflate the truth and the listing of your superpowers is mandatory. The URL alone is too good to pass up.

Created yet? Nope.

IsThisADateMovie.com

I want a resource online where you can go and type in the name of a movie and it will tell you whether or not it would be a good date movie. You could even refine it further by specifying whether scary movies are ok, if you hate subtitles, etc.

Spoiler alert - Cider House Rules is not a good date movie, and this is precisely why I would benefit from this kind of service.

In searching for this, I did find a cool website that tells you what the best current date movie is - awesome. This will do for now: www.bestdatemovie.com

HiddenTattoos.tumblr.com

I want someone to make a photo series of strangers on the street and ask them the following questions:

1. How many tattoos do you have?

2. How many tattoos do people usually think you have?

3. How many tattoos do you wish you had?

Since over a third of adults aged 18-40 have a tattoo in the US, and the majority keep them hidden, I think it would be pretty, pretty interesting [Pew].

MetaPersonalityTest.com

There are some of us out there that love personality tests. Our friends might say we're mildly obsessed. I would love to see a personality test which asks you questions and then tells you which of the many existing frameworks is most up your alley -  The personality test of personality tests.

Are you convinced by well-established methods? The traditional Myers Briggs framework is probably for you.

Maybe you're more into the dynamic stylings of the Enneagram?

Are you more relational and therefore intrigued by Love Languages?

Or perhaps personality types are a bit too prescriptive for you and you're more swayed by the whimsy of Which Game of Thrones Character are You?

Finally a website that answers the question: What does your favorite personality framework say about you?

Spoiler alert: If you're even on the website, the answer is that you are an overanalyst.

(Alternatively, it would be really interesting to make a website to collect personality framework data - have users submit their results from various tests and then rate the different tests. data, Data, DATA!)

UnnecessaryPlurals.tumblr.com

I recently learned that the word Octopi (as a plural of Octopus) was created by English speakers who didn't know what they were talking about. I think, similarly, we should come up with some singular items that are in need of silly plural forms. Why should octopi have all the fun?

FoodSlices.com = InsideInsides.Blogspot.com

Remember that idea for a blog about MRIs of food? It is already a blog, and it's more incredible than I could have ever hoped for.

http://insideinsides.blogspot.com/

Check it out a sampling below (corn, pomegranate, blackberries):

Thanks for the tip, Pam!

[thugkitchen-deactivated20181113]

Take a gander at this shit right here, it’s an MRI of broccoli.

Broccoli contains a fucking ridiculously high amount of potassium, which maintains a boss nervous system and keeps your brain at the top of it’s game.

[blogsiwanttomake]

This is an MRI of broccoli. Can someone (who has access to an MRI on off hours) please make a blog of MRIs of vegetables, fruits and other common foods?

Created yet? Nope. Yes - found!

ArrestedBroadway.com

Someone should start a Broadway vs. Arrested Development blog, in the vein of Arrested Westeros, Mad Development and Mean Targaryens. Here's a first post to get this started:

Post #1: Laura Osnes and Victoria Clark from Cinderella as George Sr. and Kitty. "Victoria was Laura's faithful Fairy Godmother"

Also, Cinderella is incredible and everyone should go see it.
