A cure for cancer without a doubt.

A stealth boomerang zapper machine that whenever a person causes another pain they immediately get the exact pain inflicted back on themselves. It could be called InstantKarma.

Nannee49. You need to find the Red Dwarf series, episode Justice.
They visit a penal colony where you get whatever you were intending to dish out to someone else.
Works really well.....

A self cleaning bath.
And a (properly) self cleaning oven.
A self-washing kitchen floor would be nice, too.
And a robot vacuum cleaner that could do the stairs and the upstairs, not to mention shifting heavy furniture to vacuum underneath.
I don’t want much, do I?

A microwave with a clear screen so I can see when my porridge starts to boil over.
A proper self cleaning oven.
Frozen peeled shallots.
A TV function the blocks out unnecessary sex scenes and swearing.

A cure for blindness, my lovely sister-in-law is nearly completely blind now and it has affected her quality of life so much.

I'm with a transporter machine which takes you to places without having to fly drive etc.
Oh wants something that can mend out holes 3rd without causing massive hold ups.

First I would get my invention patented before anyone else could pinch it until it's a secret.

Casdon Wed 23-Mar-22 13:54:32

I want an automatic exerciser, that will keep me fit with no effort on my part. I’ll lie on the sofa while it does it’s magic each day.

I'm with you on the all singing and dancing washing machine CraftyGranny

CraftyGranny Wed 23-Mar-22 11:51:08

Blossoming can we add pet hair to your dust eating carpet?

A dust eating carpet.

CraftyGranny Wed 23-Mar-22 11:16:34

A washing machine that dries and irons clothes ready to wear.

A transporter sounds great GagaJo

Auntieflo Wed 23-Mar-22 11:16:20

A clever way to access all the underground cables, pipes etc, instead of digging up the road, repairing it, then digging it all up again a few months later.

Honeysuckleberries I bought a battery operated brush from Lakeland with several different heads.

henetha Wed 23-Mar-22 11:03:00

Same here, GagaJO... So we need someone to invent this!

GagaJo Wed 23-Mar-22 11:01:35

Yes Henetha, I'd love a Transporter. I've always hated flying and actively avoid holidays now because of it. IF I could be tranported painlessly to my destination, I'd travel a lot more.

henetha Wed 23-Mar-22 10:55:26

A machine to beam myself up and place me somewhere else.
Then we could avoid airports etc. And embarrassing situations.
Remember "Beam me up, Scotty", from Star Trek?

Doodledog Wed 23-Mar-22 10:51:01

A time machine.

It would need to have built-in protection against the perils of altering history, but I would love to go back to places I know and see them through the ages, as well as to be part of things like whatever happened at Stonehenge.

Honeysuckleberries Wed 23-Mar-22 10:49:00

If you could invent anything at all in the world what would it be? It could be something sensible or totally out of left field.
My sensible one would be a battery operated washing up brush so I can scrub stubborn dishes easily.
My wacky one would be a zip up stomach so childbirth could be easier! I’ve obviously got little to do so my mind is wandering ?.
What about your ideas?
