This is a place to pitch goofy million dollar ideas that you had in the shower, as you were falling asleep, or during a fever dream. Think of it is as shitty Shark Tank.

The "I'm not dead" button: An alarm clock that automatically calls emergency services if it's not stopped within a certain number of hours. (lemmy.world)

This isn't really meant to save anyone's life. But it would let someone know to come pick up your corpse before it melts into the carpet and your cat starves.

This is truly shitty, nice work.

Wake up early, forget to unset the alarm, and leave for an early start at the office.

The number of false calls it would generate is so high lol.

A mobile app to control it remotely could help. The app could even require access to your contact list for some reason.

"Hey boss, I won't be coming in today because unfortunately I am deceased.

With that in mind, I'd like to take this post-mortem opportunity to let you know what a total piece-of-shit dickhead you really are...”

You just took this from a shitty million dollar idea to a shitty billion dollar idea.

It could call family or such rather than emergency services
