Updated with my new best one:
THE MAN ZOO
Regular zoo in every way, except the framing. You know how modern zoos (like, say, the Cincinnati Zoo) are ruined by being marketed mainly at women and small children with facts like "giraffes eat leaves and love scritches teehee"?

The Man Zoo, located probably in Las Vegas, is the institutional refutation of that. The Man Zoo soaks every exhibit in blood and guts. You're going to learn about how this cheetah disembowels this warthog. You're going to learn about how Teddy Roosevelt's Black Confederate tour guide Hope Collier knife-fought bears. You're going to learn about spearing war elephants at Cannae.

The park attendants are all dressed as Indians, cavemen, longhunters. The decorations are themed like you're in a 1980s Conan movie. There's a community gym attached to the complex. There's a steakhouse on sight with busty women in cavegirl outfits (hunky men in caveman outfits for the women) like a prehistoric Hooters. There's a Kenyan H1B worker with one arm there to talk about his first hand experience surviving a lion mauling.

The farm animal petting zoo is Braveheart themed and called "the Scottish Brothel" (since it has sheep). There's a tanuki zone themed after Pom Poko. Entire Teddy Roosevelt shrine.

THE MAN ZOO.


Mine are mostly about bioengineering.

1) There’s a species of moth that can eat plastic. That’s great in and of itself, because they could be used to eliminate plastic that would otherwise not be recycled. But imagine if you could crossbreed it with silkworms (it probably doesn’t work this way) to turn plastic jugs into silk.

2) They’re growing plants now which are able to suck up metal (quarter or more of the plant mass is metal) from the ground, and they can burn the plant and smelt the ash to get useful metals. Imagine turning things like old WW1 battlefields into vast metal plantations and being a metal farmer.

3) South Carolina used to have a thing called Sea Island cotton that was as fine as silk, but was banned due to the Boll weevil. They’re capable of making Boll weevil resistant cotton now, so there’s no reason Sea Island cotton couldn’t be grown in as a luxury competitor to the Egyptian industry.



4) When vat-grown meat becomes sufficiently advanced, home meat printers, feed the vat its chemical juice and collect your own "gardened" meat slab when it's done growing.

5) Helium cruise zeppelins for cruises that can access inland cities and geographical features that ships and trains can't. They would never be as cheap or large as cruise ships but they are not anywhere near as impractical as people think.

The great American novel about a futuristic theme park where dinosaurs are brought back to life. I call it, "Billy and the Cloneasurus."
