If you make a wristwatch out of meat and post a howto video about it on HN, you will be front page within an hour.

If you make a parachute for divers that uses thermal currents to lift them up at the correct rate for avoiding the bends, then you’ll help them focus on underwater photography rather that dying, to their benefit.

If you build a doorstop out of iPhones, you might not get a front page, unless you do something more interesting.

You’re thinking along the right lines! Keep it up.

Darn, foiled again. My sarcastic examples of useless ideas turn out to be useful.

Any beginner tips for brainstorming lead into gold?
