Longs: Ideas 1–40

1. I Investigated New AIs

For this video, push the limits of new or unknown/unpopular AIs, such as Anthropic and others. Can an AI actually help you script a viral video from scratch, or will it refuse to help with your most “extreme” challenge ideas?

2. I Tested the Limits of Returning Products

For this challenge, see how “used” is too used for big-box stores. Try returning a tent after a camping trip or a suit after a party to see which stores actually honor their “no questions asked” policy.

3. I Tried Getting Customer Service to Break Their Own Rules

For this video, visit various businesses and make increasingly absurd but polite requests. Can you get a fast-food worker to sell you a single chicken nugget, or a hotel to let you check in 12 hours early for free?

4. I Tested The Limits Of Free Things

For this challenge, visit different shops and simply asking for free samples, “extras,” or left-over stock. How much “wealth” can you accumulate without spending a single dollar? What’s the limit of free? Can you abuse free samples and deals from apps, coupons and discounts to the extreme?

5. I Bought the Most Returned Item at Stores

For this video, interview retail workers to find the one product everyone brings back. Buy them, use it for 24 hours, and investigate exactly why it’s failing. Is it a design flaw or just user error?

6. I Tested The Limits Of Customer Support At Luxury Stores

For this test, visit high-end boutiques twice: once dressed in gym clothes and once in a tailored suit. Does the level of service, or the offer of a free drink, change based on your appearance? What’s the limit of customer service depending on your looks, your money and your overall appearance?

7. I Tested The Limits of Restaurants

For this challenge, go to a sit-down restaurant, order a full meal, and then simply don’t touch it while staring at your phone. How long does it take for the staff to notice or ask if you’re okay? Test this and other experiments to check the politeness of waitresses. Do they care if you eat or not?

8. I Used AI To Make A Business from Scratch

For this experiment, give an AI model $1,000 and 30 days to start a brand new business. Follow its instructions exactly, from the logo to the marketing, and see if it actually turns a profit.

9. I Took the Most Inefficient Routes

For this travel challenge, use a “reverse-GPS” strategy. If the fastest route is 10 minutes, take the one that takes 2 hours. Explore the corners of your city you would normally zoom past on the highway, and walk in places you shouldn’t. What’s the most inefficient way to travel around NY/NJ?

10. I Lived A Week Without My Phone

For this analog challenge, challenge yourself to spend a week without your phone. How will you pay for things, or travel around a city? Is it possible to live without a phone in today’s society? Which everyday tasks are only possible with a phone?

11. I Explored The Limits of Viruses

Inspired by this video, for this video explore every type of virus/malware you can get. How easy (or hard) is to catch one of these bugs? What do they actually do? And what’s the limit of them? Can you make retail store computers catch one of these viruses? Push the limits of malware to the extreme.

12. I Investigated Store Backrooms

For this video, attempt to gain access to the restricted areas of major retail stores. What are they actually hiding behind those “Authorized Personnel Only” doors?

13. I Tried Staying in Stores After They’ve Closed

For this challenge, attempt to hide in a department store or mall as the lights go out and the doors lock. Can you survive the night without triggering the motion sensors? Is it actually possible to be “locked” in a store overnight?

14. I Tried Being the First Customer at Every Store

For this video, wake up at 3:00 AM and attempt to be the literal first person through the doors of 10 different businesses in one morning. Do you get special treatment or just weird looks? What’s the experience compared to being the last customer? Does the food taste better? Can you find things in stock?

15. I Investigated Abandoned Prisons

Inspired by this article, explore the eerie remains of America’s most high-security ruins. What does a 100-year-old solitary confinement cell actually feel like?

16. I Investigated Abandoned Asylums

Inspired by this archive, visit the decaying halls of former social institutions and check what’s left behind.

17. I Investigated The City With The Most Michelin Star Restaurants

Inspired by this article, visit the city with the most Michelin stars per capita. Is a $400 dinner actually better than a $10 burger?

18. I Investigated Towns from Movies

Inspired by this list, visit real-life locations that served as the backdrop for famous films. Do these towns embrace their Hollywood history, or are they trying to move on?

19. I Investigated Airport Hotels

Inspired by this article, spend 24 hours living inside a high-end airport hotel without ever leaving the terminal. Is it a luxury experience or just an expensive layover?

20. I Investigated the Biggest Fast Food Chain In The World (That Isn’t McDonalds)

Inspired by this discovery, visit a Mixue location to see why this global giant is taking over. How does it compare to the American classics like McDonald’s?

Inspired by this article, check yourself into a digital detox or “rehab” style environment for a week. Can a content creator survive without a screen?

22. I Explored Hidden Ruins in Cities

Inspired by this article, hunt for the hidden cities buried beneath modern streets. From old subway tunnels to forgotten basements, what lies beneath the pavement?

23. I Explored Weirdly Shaped Buildings

Inspired by this article, travel to find the most architecturally “wrong” buildings in the country. Why did someone build a skyscraper shaped like a guitar? And what does it look like inside?

24. I Bought America’s Most Expensive Fast Food

For this video, explore the most expensive, unique and costly fast food items available in the country. What’s the difference between a $500 USD burger vs a McDonalds burger? Is the price worth it? And what’s the most expensive trash meal you can get?

25. I Explored the Biggest Waterfalls in the US

Inspired by this list, trek to the highest vertical drops in America. Is the “Instagram versus Reality” hike actually worth the effort?

26. I Explored Every UNESCO World Heritage Site in America

Inspired by this list, visit the most protected places on Earth that are located within US borders. What makes these locations so special that the whole world agreed to save them?

I Tried to Outsell…

For this series, set up a rival stand directly outside a corporate giant and try to make more money in one day than they do. Try this at…

The Mall (Setting up a “cool” pop-up in the parking lot)
McDonald’s (Selling “Better” burgers for $1 less)
Walmart (Selling essential items they just ran out of)
Amazon (Attempting “Same-Minute Delivery” in a local park)

31. I Tested the Privacy of Every Tech Store

Go into Apple, Best Buy, and Samsung stores and check the “Display Devices.” Can you find someone’s logged-in Gmail left by a careless shopper? Can you leave a “digital time capsule” on every laptop that thousands of people will see?

32. I Investigated “Ghost” Businesses That Never Seem to Open

Every city has that one store that has been “Coming Soon” for 5 years or an empty dry cleaner. Spend a week staking them out to see if they are actually functional businesses or a front for something more mysterious.

33. I Tested the Limits of Popularity

For this video, dress up in 5 different “authority” outfits (Pilot, Doctor, Maintenance, Security, Influencer) and see which one gets you the most free stuff or access to “Backstage” areas without a ticket.

34. I Survived 24 Hours Using Only “Kid Logic”

As a continuation of the Testing The Limits of Age series, for this video spend a full day making every decision like a 7-year-old. Eat breakfast for dinner, play on a playground instead of going to a meeting, and try to pay for your coffee with coins and change.
