How about a device that raises kids to not be pieces of shit that can't get out of bed?
streptovsky
Things like this will never work for me. I routinely wake up, feed the dogs, let them out, let them in, and go back to sleep immediately
CrouchingVaginaHiddenPenis
I'd have to have the mat downstairs in front of the coffee maker.
SomeguyfromICYhellhole
Put it under the pillow and watch the world burn?

I broke it.... I pushed it to 3201 from a nice even 3200 points.
whenthedinodies
My alarm clock is across the room I still just hit snooze and walk back to bed sometimes.
iamjapanman
Can we make "after the gif" a thing?
STINKPICKEL
I heard from a product engineer, you can make it fool proof, you just can't make it damn fool proof.
Mitchz95
You could do that. Or you could just set your phone alarm and put it on the other side of the room.

I just put my alarm clock further away than I can reach without getting out of bed.
pogidaga
If you are the type to abuse the snooze, just put the alarm beyond arm's reach.
DAVdaBRAV
I used to do flying monkeys out of and then back into bed to snooze an alarm across the room. Some of us are champions of the snooze button.
Drakhma
yup
chucktonian
Teach me how to Ruggie.
BDR518
Teach me, Teach me how to Ruggie.

Lying on it like that wouldn't turn it off. You're still not putting your entire weight on it.
monkeybreath
Yes!
halfblackzachattack
I put my phone across the room so I have to get up to turn the alarm off, still doesn't stop me from going right back to bed :(

This would be a dick move to give as a gift for a disabled person.
TheManWithNoNameZappBrannigan
Jokes on you. I've fallen asleep standing
isilzha
I used to put it on the other end of the room. I would get up, walk over to it, shut it off, and go back to bed with zero memory of it.
YUMAD2234
i'll just put it under my head so it never goes
sportsparty
You'd have to hide it so you'd have to dig it out. otherwise I'm pressing down and going back to bed
Durende
I put my phone on the other side of my room, so I have to get up and walk over there to turn it off. I still somehow end up in bed.
catfoodstudios
I have a lofted bed, need to go up and down via a ladder. I still manage to climb down, turn off the alarm and get back up to sleep halfawa
FedericoAstica
There's no better alarm than a toddler.
Inmate45
Hear hear. A foot to the crotch with 18kg of toddler behind it is what often wakes me up... yay?
sixtyfortysoo
Dogs! Reminds of a post...the dog bites lumps under the duvet...sometimes it's a hand, sometimes it's a testicle..
ineedmoarcoffee
You know my pain!!!
SalamiMitKetchup
Meh... I'll pass. Too expensive, too much maintenance.
LazyPea
For it to actually work it needs me to get dressed and make a cup of tea before it goes off.
MauriceSpangle
I guess I read this too fast: if my alarm clock could get dressed and make tea before it went off that would be amazing!
TitaniumMonkeyBalls
Even then, there's a 50% chance I'll just sit in my car and stare into space.
pookiecorn
My ex used to make me tea if he wanted me to get up because he knew I'd never drink tea in bed, nor would I let tea go cold
App alarms can be set to not fully dismiss until you're in your car. Can't stop you driving to get donuts then come back to bed, though.
Barkinsons
I'm only secure after I took a shower, so it would have to be shut off by water or something
Hozumi
I'd stand on it and then lay back down again
SarahYummers
Id learn to unconsciously stand on it and go back to bed, not even remembering turning it off when I wake up.
Perfzilla
I dunno if the ruggie is smart enough to do this but it wouldn't be hard to make a device that tells if the pressure is vaguely feet shaped.

I feel like I would regularly reset the stupid thing because I sleepwalk.
theairgonaut
Maybe something like the wii fit board or w/e it was, so it can tell where the center of gravity is located
GenericAdjectiveNoun
yes the wii fit board could tell
CanadianThemedName
I dunno about these chumps, but I have been known to put on my pants for the day, and then go back to bed. So this doesn't help.
sthreet
I put my alarm across the room from my bed, and i have been able to turn it off and go back to bed without waking up enough to remember it.
DinosaurusRex24
Yep. Set my alarm clock across the room. Still Turn it off in my sleep, sometimes wake up late with clothes on

Like One Punch Man, but with idiots.

I don't think this better idiot would actually work, since half the weight is still off the clock.

1/2 Seriously. I once had one of these alarm clocks that explode into 4 pieces all over your room that you have to put back for it to stop.

This makes me want to cry so much. Thought I designed an idiot proof program, the idiot proved me wrong.
