Has't thee ev'r been so malt-worm thee hadst the most wondrous idea? That, but in modern English, has become one of the most entertaining inquiries in the history of Reddit, and you wouldn’t believe what incredibly amazing ideas people had and then shared for the whole internet to see until you read them yourself. Thus, we invite you to check out our compilation of the most amazing ideas people had while slightly more inebriated than usual.
Sure, sure, some of these ideas and inventions were already present at the time when the visions came to these drunkards' heads. But can you imagine the feeling of Eureka! when you are certain that you just invented socks?!? Despite wearing them since the day you were born?!?! Now that’s a thrill and a height we all would like to feel someday. Besides inventing the wheel, some of these malt-worms did have some truly original ideas for restaurants, commercials, amusement parks, movies, and even wedding days to be remembered for decades to come. However, if we start naming them, you would simply express your disbelief in our tall tales, so you better read them yourself!
Again, all of these stories are very real and absolutely true (just like all the things on the internet) and were shared in this absolutely ingenious Reddit thread. We picked the greatest and put them on this list; however, you can still rank them to your liking by voting on the incredible ideas that stunned you the most. After that, share this article with your friends to either make their day that much more fun or inspire them to… Uhm, express their ideas freely, just like these people did!

"When I was in high school, after a lengthy hotbox one evening, I came up with the 'reverse candle' which would consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen while also providing shade. Everyone truly thought it was a good idea so we wrote it out on paper so we wouldn't forget.
Later, the next day I had realized we invented trees."

"Was stoned and listening to jazz and cooking with friends once. We got really into it and we were dancing around to the jazz and seasoning/spicing the food as we felt fit. We came up with the idea for a restaurant where all the chefs are stoned and allowed to freestyle. You order a dish and tell them what music to infuse it with. They put on that music, and get in the groove. And make your dish with the vibe that they’re feeling."

"A pot or bowl with holes in it so that you didn't have to use a wire-mesh strainer to strain spaghetti. I had drawings and everything. People around me were like, 'S*it, this thing is going to make MILLIONS!'"
Next day: Dude, that's a colander.

"I ate acid and realized how much of our world is just containers for things. Houses are containers for people. Pockets, backpacks. Tires are just containers for pressurized air. I couldn't stop thinking about it."

"I was stoned and I came up with a brilliant low-cost solution to get fit without paying for a gym membership. Unfortunately, the idea was basically just going to the local park and fighting with the geese there."

"A friend of mine called me around 3:00 in the morning about a fantastic, groundbreaking idea he had for getting a sunburn on your feet. He wears Crocs a lot, so I was actually kinda interested. Socks. He was describing socks."

"A device that mimics what you sound like to yourself so other people can hear it. Like you can hear what other people hear through a normal recording. I wanted to make a device that lets other people hear what you hear in your head when you talk."

"When I did shrooms, I came up with the absolutely GENIUS idea that NASA should employ young children and send them to space for missions. They have more natural curiosity and aren't jaded yet by adulthood and they might notice things that a more experienced astronaut would miss because they'll look from a different perspective. I was convinced I needed to e-mail NASA right away and tell them about my brilliant epiphany."
