What would you invent?

If you could invent anything at all, what would it be?
I have several ideas, most of which seem to be escaping my mind as i am typing this.
one idea i have, however, is to open up a photo/video studio that specializes in taking customer's own video footage of their household pets, and pairing that with one of the customer's favorite films.
"Pet-films", if you will.
I would use their pet footage, in conjunction with the movie footage to digitally replace certain actor's heads with that of the pet's head.
So, if you were watching, say.."Back to the Future", you would see the head of some Calico Cat thats been digitally inserted where Marty McFly's head would have been, and this pet head would be throughout the entire film's duration, becoming the new character.
The voice of marty mcfly would still stay the same, except for an occasional purr or meow every now and then. the cat's head would talk, it would be funny and cool.
I could do the same trick with other films:
saving private ryan,..terminator 3,..rocky,..rambo,..e.t.,..raiders of the lost ark,.star wars,..etc etc

Oh sweet merciful Eris, please do not ever implement that idea. It terrifies me beyond all capacity for rational thought.
I'd invent super-filling pills that taste and feel like any foodstuff you want but are actually 100% nutritious. There would also be the 100% no nutritional value and no filling kind for people who love to eat but don't want to have to either binge and purge or suffer over-eating effects. Oh, and before you ask, the blueberry pie wouldn't fill people up with blueberry juice.

I'd want to create a non-invasive or cumbersome device you could wear to sleep, and it would digitally record everything you dream. Think of all the things that have been credited to dreams and nightmares - art, music, literature, films, etc. - then think of how hard it is to actually remember dreams. I know I've had a good number of potential full-length novels and movies play out in my sleep, but they always disappear in a flash right when I wake up. This kind of thing would be perfect, almost like a cure for writers' block!

A bomb that'd only destroy stupid people and whose blast radius would cover the entire world. That'd efficiently solve all problems. Although I'd probably get wiped out as well.
Come to think of it, so would almost all of mankind.
Bleh, nevermind.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

What-if machine?
You mean like this:
What if I am an idiot?
"Well... you could always kill yourself or get used and don't know it. Because your ignorance will protect you. If not you will abide by the laws of what the mass majority follow."

The best invention is to create a what-if machine, and ask it what the world would be like if you invent a finglonger.
