You could make money off of this if you are able to pair willing manufacturers to realistic and popular ideas that get generated. It could become a real market place.

Hilarious project.

Edit: I did both Mouthwash Ramen and Time Machine to the Present. I’m now addicted to this, thanks.

I know of a company that is huge in laser for physics and started like this in the 80s (through magazine catalogs).

They would list all kinds of lasers. When they got some offers for one of them, they'd sell it and schedule the delivery in 90 days. Then, they started the project from scratch. Crazy stuff and borderline legal :D

Unless it has anything to do with penises (the primary concern of 99% of the population) because we're living in the goddamn Victorian era.

That said holy shit this is some powerful scifi

EDIT Can't ask for marijuana or vicodin. Can ask for weed and cannabis.

Thanks! Reached some limits, made a quick fix

This is very good! Word of advice, though: I saw a bunch of stuff that was in poor taste scrolling through the "Useless" tab, such as this product: https://anycrap.shop/product/charlie-kirk-bulletproof-neck-g... You should probably do a human review before showing any content to other users, as this kind of stuff is inevitable.

Someone created "Jewdestroyer". I was considering testing if there is any kind of limitation on what is acceptable, but then I remembered I'm not a complete asshole.

This is what Amazon has been doing for years with Marketplace: check what's popular and then compete on price.

Why not connect it to drop shipping and actually make the things?

I wish I could scale it, but I'm not sure I can manufacture enough Shit Mayonnaise to meet demand

Can you generate .stl files for printing?
