Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
Free gender neutral public toilets, everywhere.
Everywhere? Where will we put all the existing things? You can’t turn the whole world in to just toilets, that’s taking the piss!
Turn-based King of the Hill RPG
With lawn mowing minigame
That’s either stupid as hell or utterly brilliant. Either way, I want it.
I’ll tell you h’wat.
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.
Customer focused companies. A middle ground between non-profit and for profit.
It’s called a B Corp in the US. A public benefit company. It’s for profit, but with a mission. Doctor Bronner’s and Newman’s Own are the two that come to mind.
Copyright should go back to 14 years.
Ha, you have 14 upvotes right now, cool coincidence.
Yep, that would encourage new ideas way more than the current system.
Oh, and Disney should not be allowed to lobby for copyright law changes
Also exclusivity deals should be treated as the monopolies they are.
Voting days should be mandatory holidays
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 :)
But then we’d all get pissed the day before and be too hungover to go and vote
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.
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.
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.
Yes please!
Best we can do is ill-tempered sea bass
How about mutated sea bass?
I’d make that deal with the Sharks. Sea bass today, sea urchins tommorow.
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.
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 :(
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.

Is this like Robot Wars?
Sure, that’s one way we could go with it. To the death.
Red Alert 2 remaster
I’m sure EA will do it justice
That is a fear of mine lol. They did a good job with the first remaster but who knows if they’d keep it up
of course they’ll keep it up. it’ll even have extra content, like multiple currencies, battlepasses, seasons and XP boosters.
You torture me, friend 😅
could do ra 1&2 in a modern engine.
I’ll just wait for OpenRA to integrate TS and RA2 into their enginge.
I’m too much of a boomer sadly. I want a 1 to 1 remake
You don’t want that, the controlls of the original C&C franchise was terrible.
Left click to both select and order units and right click just clear the selection?
No, terrible.
I played it today and it doesn’t bother me that much. That said, right click move would be better. I want that, decouple game speed and frame rate, and decouple zoom from resolution. The rest I’m fine with
I’ve rented an airbnb for a few hours when i had a long layover. Some hotels have day rates. There’s an app - hotels by day or something like that.
I was going to say that yeah, you can actually get even motels and some hotels at hourly rates, usually in high crime areas with rampant prostitution.
I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…
Very cool website, thanks for sharing!
Oh man I used to be a menace on there.
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.
Also nationwide lead removal fund.
*International
Yeah but there’s no real international authority for that, and how am I supposed to get my national government to join a treaty organization for that purpose when neither it nor any lower level of my government offer anything similar?
Hey, this thread is about what should be an actual thing, not what is realistic or even feasable to do.
You mention that a nationwide fund for removal of lead in the environment should be a thing, I just countered that there should be an international fund dor the removal of lead since it is an international problem.
Both funds should be a thing.
I mean, I suppose, but at that point it really hits the level of abstract principle rather than plausible policy. Kind of up there with “no more war”, “ending hunger”, or “socialism replacing capitalism”.
And while I do believe that a better world is possible, I really wanted to speak to things that are plausible in the existing political and economic climate in my lifetime.
That’s a fair point I didn’t think about when I made my comment.
Now that you mention it, switching to international scale in politics/activism sounds fantastic, but if often used as a way to divert responsibillity to a party with no authority.
So yeah, a national program is better
