Tourist cities should have hotel rooms by the hour that are actually clean when you just want to take a nap.
Instead of mandatory military service like some countries have, people should have mandatory public work for two years. Whether it be labor, clerical/administrative, etc, it could help young people learn a new skill, get guaranteed work to get the started, and could potentially save a ton in taxes. It would also create the opportunity to start getting caught up some things that keep getting swept under the rug like bridge maintenance , etc.
Yeah. Similar to this I think junior high should have a bigger focus on being outside. Like one semester should be spend camping or something. It’s such a formative time and so many kids spend it scrolling through reels. There is something so real and unforgiving about Mother Nature that a 13 year old should really know about.
the top 50% richest people should have
The rest of people are already working these mandatory jobs.
I’d include military service in that. But yes mandatory service for everyone.
Edit. No exceptions if your mom / dad is a senator or anything… medical? Great there is tons of paperwork that needs to be done. Basically every one yeah.

Top comment, should be pinned. We need a gaggle of these. A gagglebyte.
Shhh! Nobody tell them…
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.
A button on the TV that would make the remote beep so you can find it
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.
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.
Please run for congress. Now.
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.
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.
Turn-based King of the Hill RPG
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.
Parking lot lights, that are in/ on each space. That indicates if there is a space available…. Less driving around the lot looking for a space
Many malls in Toronto have this. And as others have said, airports. Pearson International included.
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.
All billionaires in electric chairs.
Is a functional government based on logic and compassion too much to ask/too cliché?
Renters rights legislation with enough teeth to make present and perspective landlords, both corporate and individual, think twice before not taking care of a property as though they lived there? (Yes, there are stories behind this one)
I guess a company that actually pays me what I’m worth (which I’m not even really looking for that much).
I feel like you’d probably enjoy wandering through the halfbakery…
Very cool website, thanks for sharing!
Retirement should be 45
Good bluetooth earbuds that are Apple earbud shaped (or an approximation far enough away to not be sued.) There’s litterally “airpods,” “cheap shitty airpod knockoffs,” and then the largest category “skullcandy types with the bullshit in ear inserts.” There’s plenty of quality ones in the skullcandy style, and idk if I just have a tight earussy but they do not fit in my holes.
I love my Sennheisers they work really well and dont feel weird in my earussy
I have a pair of the HD555s I love the sound quality of, but their buds look like the type I can’t stand. I want to try em out but that’s too much money for something that I think probably won’t work for me and nobody I know has them to try.
Have you tried any IEMs? I know they are wired but I have a pair of moondrop x crinacle dusk 2s that are amazing sound. I do want to upgrade to the new dusk model with the planar drivers but I dont have the free cash atm
Honestly this is less of an issue for me with wired, there’s plenty non-skullcandy style wired ones, the problem there is the world has decided phones no longer need a 3.5mm jack (which they absolutely do still need imo.) If I could still use wired I wouldn’t even be complaining!
I hate to say it but the apple type c to 3.5mm jack dongle is actually really good and all you really need. You could go for a balls to the wall dongle setup with a micro DAC that plugs into the phone bit youre starting to get into the placebo effect area of audiphile stuff
If my phone had two usb c ports, one top one bottom or even right next to each other, maybe. But excess wear and tear on the only port I can use for charging on a non-repairable device, the inability to charge and use headphones simultaneously, and an OG Xbox controller style dongle like it’s 200fucking3 are unfortunately not solutions to “have correct hole please.”
I don’t need audiophile quality, just “good enough,” combined with “doesn’t hurt ears or use my charging port.”
My phone, laptop, & DAP all conveniently have a headphone jack so I can enjoy better quality sound, with no lantency, no spotty connectivity, no pairing lag, no need for firmware upgrades or proprietary apps, a cheaper price, easy to find the monitors since they are tethered together, & with better sustainability without lithium ion batteries while never have to worry about charge either.
What was the upside of wireless again?
qi charger? bluetooth to audio dongle to convert your headphones to wireless?
Get some foam tips. I hated in ears and now they’re my favorite
I think there should be pedestrian, bike routes separate from cars, like storefronts should face both ways, and the intersections with signals, but where practical should have bridges for the walkers, so they don’t have to deal with the cars.
I also really want replicator tech, want to be able to use any input to get basically any output, at least in terms of materials. Throw in the trash, it is sorted into its component elements (safely) and then those can be combined to make clean water, salt water, building materials, whatever.
I want also a floor and walls that eat the dirt, and clothing fabric that can cool even in humidity.
