Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
Hotels not using carpet in their rooms.
This is a noise reduction thing. It’s the same reason apartments only do hardwood on the ground floor. Your downstairs neighbors don’t want to listen to you moving around, and carpet is a great insulator and cushion.
Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.
(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)
When you get to baggage claim, if you then stand directly at the carousel blocking everyone’s view for more than 10 seconds, trap door opens and a system of pneumatic tubes forcibly jettisons you to the furthest point away in the airport for you to walk back.
Stand back, wait for your luggage to appear, then approach and get your bag and step back to the perimeter.
To get my VC funding in 2024, id also pitch that it “has AI” which is just facial recognition and if you get jettisoned twice in the same year, the third time goes into a shark pit or scorpion pit.
Since airspace is reserved for airport traffic, the furthest point is more than likely about 50k feet straight up.
I’m ok with that.
Best we can do is ill-tempered sea bass
I’d make that deal with the Sharks. Sea bass today, sea urchins tommorow.
How about mutated sea bass?
Yes please!
Turn-based King of the Hill RPG
I’ll tell you h’wat.
That’s either stupid as hell or utterly brilliant. Either way, I want it.
With lawn mowing minigame
I want to see one of those Street Fighter smash up the car mini games, but it’s Bobby & you have to repeatedly kick someone in the nuts while screaming “DON’T TOUCH MY PURSE”.
Is Ward one of the strongest party members you can get? I mean, he was a wizard even though he also refused the Caninus Spiritus.
For me, there would be public holidays that celebrate social, cultural and scientific achievements.
A day of printing, the decoding of the human genome,… you know - real achievements, not only stories of some ancient folks being tortured to death and such.
And voting? Always felt November 4th should be a paid holiday.
Awesome idea, btw.
Is that a voting day in some country?
No, not really I suppose. I meant to say “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November“, but, well… I didn’t do it right.
“The Tuesday next after the first Monday in November” is the US’s Election Day.

So drive rural into your turnip field and get the bus into town from your turnip field?
It’s honestly so weird that you can just take up public space with your dumb-ass car, that is not even in use 99% of the time.
put all the health sensors in wireless earpiece rather than a watch.
Eh, way more comfortable to wear a watch than an earpiece / headpiece imo
if its an either or I can see that. of course many people use an earpiece anyway when they use a phone. Its a rare site for me to see someone on the phone with it up to their ear. Heck its more often I see (and hear) the folks using speakerphone.
A law that prohibits labels from being too sticky that you can’t reuse the packaging. For example, I should absolutely be able to easily peel off the labels from empty wine bottles and glass jars so I can reuse them.
Please run for congress. Now.
Or a more general “stickers must adhere stronger to themselves than to whatever they are stuck to”.
Stickers should have a greater sense of self worth and keep it together when people are trying to tear them apart.
And one that prohibits “reduced to clear” labels from being too sticky so you can use sandwiches as gifts
After an impromptu upscale bar/lounge crawl with the wifey the other day…
A shoe that can easily go back and forth from high heel/wedge to comfortable flats w/o much, if any, tooling or carrying around extra parts. She also brought a clutch purse
Wifey was dead the next day from foot pain of walking between places.
Tbh all you’d really need to do is make the heel’s stick a lug and the shoe’s heel a spot to catch it. Line the lugs up with the hole and twist it to lock it in, twist again to unlock it and pull it out. Or could just use screws, maybe a long one through the bottom (and inset a little to avoid clicky clacky screws) that doesn’t fit all the way to the human heel but catches the shoe.
Google search foldable flats. Dr Scholl’s even makes some.
Yeah. But she wanted to carry a really small purse that wouldn’t be able to hold the foldable :(
Craggles™
Sandles for the crag allowing belayers to quickly slip them on and off. Toe area capped with light armour and good rubber soles for scrambling. Of course they have accessory loops for quickly attaching to bags for multi-pitch, Gone are the days of sore feet from belaying in climbing shoes, toe damage from catching a whip in flip-flops, or holding up your climbing partner by trying to find your approach shoes and a spot to put them on.
CHEAP capsule hotels. We have a couple here in London but they charge the same as the budget hotels, completely missing the point.
Part of the problem is that a lot of hotel and other property owners don’t want cheap capsule hotels.
If you don’t put your shopping cart away, a turret on the roof of the grocery should just fucking shoot you.
If you play music on a speaker, on public transit, the bus driver should just fucking shoot you
I love both of these ideas.
A button on the TV that would make the remote beep so you can find it
That is a thing on the Nvidia Shield, actually!
Finally! I’ve had this thought ever since I was a kid.
Some Roku remotes support this. You issue the command from the mobile app
Men’s toilet seat lids should stay up when not in use.
No woman in your life, eh?
Must be tough.
Phones should shoot landscape video even when they’re held vertically.
🤯
HOLY FUCK
exactly
I used to have the moto g stylus, it did that. I loved it’s camera. Too bad I bricked it by trying to downgrade it to unnecessarily install a custom rom.
The image sensor is square… it should just shoot 1:1 scale and let you crop it to an orientation later
Most image sensors are not square, they are 4:3 or 16:9. Square sensors are typically used for more specialty applications.
I agree it could be useful on a phone to have 1:1 sensors, but I would still support the direct recording to standard video resolutions and aspect ratios as otherwise encoder limitations will affect what video you can shoot.
Voting days should be mandatory holidays
Absolutely
I’m 50 years old and for as long as I can remember voting days in my country are a national holiday from the lowest government post to the highest.
But then we’d all get pissed the day before and be too hungover to go and vote
Lots of countries vote on Sundays which solves that problem
It skews the results towards christian-backed candidates - Sunday mass gets people out of their houses, clergy reminds them to vote and at least hints who they should vote for and they do on their way home.
I have never heard of that being an issue in my country where it is a constitutional requirement for elections to be held on Sundays or public holidays.
It is an issue in Poland. Close to 30% of the population is at Sunday mass and even if priests were perfectly neutral (and they very much aren’t) simply people deciding “I’m already out, I might as well vote” does make an impact on the outcome. Every time liberals and socialists score an election win is after electorate mobilization that counters that.
BTW I agree that voting should happen on a statutory holiday, but it shouldn’t be one associated with a majority religion.
That’s a thing where I am from. Also, only day where alcohol cannot be sold, as you must do your duty sober. Fair compromise if you ask me: if I already know who I am voting for, I also had the prescience to buy my booze the night before :)
