    Punch-a-Fascist Day

    It is legal to punch a Nazi in the face. No consequences. Actually you are encouraged. Maybe you get free sundaes for each Nazi you knock out.

    (*Nazi must either be a known Nazi or you must view Nazi symbols/tattoos)

    It would bring about a sense of community and also put the fear back into garbage that should just fuck the hell off.

    (And let the down votes begin by all the little dicked Nazis…)

        honestly once a year would be fine. I mean its a reset so unequality is limited to what can be done in a year.

      Then money wouldn’t be money. Dad always said, “If making money was easy, everyone would do it.”

      The US government could give every one of us $1,000,000 tomorrow. Would you have them do it? Would anyone go to work next week? How would you buy goods and services when everyone is a millionaire? “Gonna need $50K to mow your lawn.”

      We could be 100x more equitable without breaking out the paint roller.

    No billionaire day.

    It occurs anytime someone amasses $1 billion. They’re given the choice to donate the entire billion to public welfare programs or be tarred and feathered and paraded through the streets.

    Quiet day.

    We park all the cars, ground the airplanes, turn off the AC to the minimum, etc and just enjoy the sounds of nature for once.

    Flush the floaters day. Every year we guillotine the 10 (+an additional 10 each successive year) richest people on the planet. Once everyone has baseline access to food, housing, healthcare, education, etc, we put the guillotines on standby and instead have an annual feast. If conditions backslide, or if we’ve failed to reach the feast benchmark by the 10th anniversary, we switch from guillotining the 10 richest individuals to the 10 richest families with case-by-case exceptions being considered for anyone in the bloodlines in question who have shown that they’re worth keeping alive.

  • I remember from my home country there was a holiday called 儿童节 (Children’s Day), on June 1, where we are supposed to like idk parents are supposed to appreciate/cherish their children or something. Well I don’t remember them ever gave me any actual gifts (other than like clothing, which IMO doesn’t count) or if it was just another hollow, empty, meaningless holiday.

    We should have something like that. Maybe reworded as “Childhood Rememberance Day” (童年回念节?) or something. Where people just talk about the good aspects of their childhood, or a childhood they wished they had, revisit places they visited as a child, re-experience childhood for a day, just forget about the adulting for 24 hours. And of course, celebrate their children’s present moment too, let their kids have fun, don’t yell at them, tell them how much they are loved, and actually show affection.

    My childhood was so confusing, I remember being told that I was loved, but then I also remember moments where I got yelled at, and also those fights with my older brother.

    I have zero memories of actually doing anything fun on 儿童节, just another phrase on the calandar.

    Honestly we need like an entire week of this holiday. Adulthood is cruel, childhood (with the right parents, of course) is beautiful.

    Dragon Hunting Day

    Anyone who bags an obscene wealth hoarding serpent gets to be the Honored Hero of the feast.

    After the first couple years we’ll need to set some boundaries and make it figurative though
