Just had to wash out three paint rollers. It took about 15 minutes to get them halfway clean. What a waste of time. Now, if someone invented a machine I could just pop them in and leave them to clean themselves, I'd be one happy bunny.
Dishwasher?
Affordable jetpacks

Has anyone actually used that Dandy Pro contraption?
Seems a bit dubious and who on earth decided to call it that?
Sod it. I'm going to buy one and report my findings to anyone else on here who cares/doesn't have a life.
Lycra that makes porky mamils look slimmer and more athletic?

Some sort of incompetent-project-manager repellant spray.
Pocket sized horse DNA tester that you can stick in your dinner to discover if Black Beauty is currently residing in your Ikea meatballs.
Well, I've already had the idea but not invented it as such... But when I had to drive round the Crook area of Sheffield when my GF was living there, I frequently found I'd get to the bottom of a steep hill, hit a T-junction and be unable to lean forward to see round walls / pedestrians etc, due to the seatbelt locking up.
So please feel free to nick the idea and invent a button which over-rides the pendulum, seatbelt locking system, ta.
My wife used to use a Clunk Clip which lets you have some slack on the seat belt and releases it when the belt is jerked. It's probably illegal now.

Do it all bike ,with do it all tyres ,fitted with auto-tuning brakes and suspension.

Auto sizing boobs for the girlfriend. Shrink em down when we're hacking on the bikes and then serious sweater meat at the touch of a button for bedroom gymnastics. Why has this not been invented?!
How many people are really going to ever use the "shrink boob" button?
I think the idea is that you'd use the shrink button just before she heads off for a girls' night out. A 'face-twist' button might also be useful.
Bionic noise cancellation chip that is surgically attached into your nervous system so that you can selectively mute obnoxious people.

I need some of that ^^!
Hoverboard!
Proper auto cars.
In fact, my idea is better than that. The roads would essentially become a rail type link. You'd drive to the end of your street and then when you join the main carriageway, the master computer takes over your car, you've already told it where you're going. Once you reach another car, you form a type of chain, nose to tail. Cars can be removed and added at the appropriate places but ultimately, you just sit there reading a book or more likely, watching some bilge on TV while the master computer gets you all to your place of work.
From the day the system is activated there will be no road deaths. Cyberdyne systems 101 drive with a perfect record.

Just leave the paint rollers in a bucket of soapy hot water over night. Two second rinse the next morning and they're clean as new.
Sweater meat 😯

Sensible ideas:
Nuclear fusion
anti-gravity
Not-so-sensible ideas:
Dwarf cows (maybe, say, labrador sized, so that each home could have one in their garden, keeping the grass short and providing about a pint of milk a day or so)
Transport tubes like on Futurama.

Great idea, it would eat the grass and provide milk,for your porridge for example. We could name it after some combination of 'grass' and 'oats'.!

How about clean efficient integrated public transport, more working from home, flexible hours and all the other things that would stop us being a nation of 1 to a car bumper to bumper commuters?
How about some kind of electronic system to enable everybody to vote on the running of the country rendering political parties and MP's obsolete
Even though I believe that they're utterly impossible - teleporters. Nip to the alps for lunch.
A way of sending video and audio of yourself to meetings or a workplace so you don't have to actually schlep across the country to attend.
Wait, what? It already exists? Then why don't people use it?! Imagine the hassle it'd save, and the CO2 emissions too!

I posted this the other day. A very good idea, but a very dangerous one.
A "don't need a poo pill".
(Currently can't leave my classroom for another 1 hr 45 mins and am about touching cloth)
Would also be useful for when you get to the middle of nowhere and are about to start a ride and feel the call of nature.
Paint rollers - grrrrr!
I hate that so much that I don't clean them. Wrap them in cling film after use and they stay fresh, so if you have a big decorating job on you can keep going back to them and only clean once. Or frankly, if you've spent a week decorating using one white roller the whole time, then just bin it. The cost is nothing compared to the cost of the paint and the pita factor of cleaning them.
Dear Science...
