This is quite silly and fun. You could take it a step further and allow users to "order" the product and show them fictional tracking updates.

"You package has arrived at the Tannhauser Gate Processing Facility"

Something like this really highlights AIs inability to negate things. Like, search for "no lace hiking boots" and you get hiking boots... with laces.

Negative prompts are a thing, right? But this site just gives a box for the positive prompt.

Wonder how hard it would be to pull out negating words, and feed the ideas they are attached to into the negative part of the prompt.

Yes. See also a "wristwatch with no hands".

The watch in the image has hands, but the text below seems fine (if a little silly):

"This wristwatch presents timekeeping in a non-traditional manner. Rather than displaying hours via hands, it projects temporal coordinates directly onto the wearer's retina through advanced ocular stimulation technology. The watch face remains blank at all times, except when illuminated by subtle flashes that indicate elapsed seconds."

For those building more utility driven prompt stores, I’ve had good luck with PromptBazaar.ai they require real-world test screenshots before a prompt can go live, which cuts the noise. Might be a path to keep the fun and signal high

The perfect gift for any HN reader: https://anycrap.shop/product/a-startup-idea
jader201 9/13/2025||
Actually, that’s exactly what this site is. Creator is just harvesting all these ideas to find — or sell! — the best startup ideas.

Well, if you want to steal my definitely billion dollar idea, be my guest :D

Too bad this shop doesn't accept payment in equity.

From the title of the product I was thinking it was going to be a robotic arm that you’d place outside on the grass, to touch grass for you while you stay inside.

Of course I had to generate the legendary "shit on a stick". But for chefs. https://anycrap.shop/product/shit-on-a-stick-for-chefs

I asked for invisible cheese burger, it was very visible, very terrible service, 10/10 would use again
freedomben 9/13/2025|
At least it used the invisible red ink

This is fantastic. I am proud of my invention: https://anycrap.shop/product/headphones-that-play-outwards

Though the AI-generated image didn't capture it that well :(

Hey, they already make those! Go get yourself some open-back headphones. They sound great and I love mine, though they are rather silly.
vintagedave 9/13/2025||
I haven't seen these, and you gave me a new fear for what people might do in public.

More seriously, they seem to have better audio so they're meant for home audiophile headphone usage?

Epa095 9/13/2025|||
Sony MDR 605LP is an example of a very open design. I used to own a pair, and I quite enjoys listening to them (by myself). Seems like today Open-Back Headphones is more popular, they are still open in the back.

The sound of the open air headphones are a bit hard to describe with other words than 'open' :-P It's just a bit more like listening to speakers.

jagged-chisel 9/13/2025||
> ... listening to speakers

This is exactly how we hear anything not live. A truly amazing time to be alive.

ryukoposting 9/13/2025|||
Yes, my open back headphones never leave my home. They really only make sense if you listen to a lot of music (I do).

The perfect headphones to listen to while on the bus.

Perfect! I finally was able to find the cottage cheese shredder that I've been looking for. https://anycrap.shop/product/cottage-cheese-shredder
trylist 9/13/2025|
I like how the product image is um... well-used.
vardump 9/13/2025||
There seems to be a great second hand market for the cottage cheese shredder!
adamcharnock 9/13/2025||
They’re like cast iron pans. The flavour builds over time as long as you don’t wash them too thoroughly.

Next up is a store that generates a functional SaaS with monthly billing from anything you type in search.
