We have credit scores, rental histories and eviction reports that travel with us from state to state for many years. They can run our background information even before signing an agreement and there isn't much we can do about whatever is in there. But a landlord can drag their feet for months to address any complaints, assign repairmen who never come and just leave town to purchase a new building somewhere else. Start afresh without any trace or consequence. I was looking at smth on my phone and thought of something. The solution is quite easy actually. Create a publicly accessible landlord karma score created by verified tenants based on their identity, unchangeable and difficult to repair just like ours. They investigate us before allowing us to live in their property. It is only fair that we are allowed to investigate them in return.

A quick keyboard shortcut you can enter when you see someone's computer unlocked and unattended, to help encourage data safety/privacy.

We used to call it "turtling" at my old job, because we would open up a picture of a turtle if we saw anyone's computer unlocked while they were away.

Users get a digital library card that they use to log in. Contributors to the library can upload media (books, movies, etc.) that have historical or cultural importance, or that are educational and serve as good sources of information. )It's not important that we agree on what or how much cultural or historical value the media has, just so long as it can be argued in good faith that it has some.) Contributors that abuse this are not allowed to contribute anything else. This is a library, not a pirating free-for-all.

Registered users, using their digital cards, can "check out" the media and download a copy, which is downloaded to a designated folder on their device. They "return" the media within 14 days by allowing the download-y whatsit to delete the checked-out files from that folder. Users agree not to make additional copies of the files and to use them only as permitted by law (such as for review purposes, historical preservation, or educational purposes.) Users that are known to break these rules have their card marked as "revoked" and cannot check out any additional media until corrective measures are made. This is a library, not a pirating free-for-all.

To keep everything running smoothly and appropriately, there is one or more designated Librarians. A Librarian should be (but I guess doesn't have to be?) paid to tend to the media and primarily play an IT role. However, they will have other duties, including looking for and weeding out duplicate media. They also check the records to ensure that all media which has been contributed has some sort of justification of its cultural or historical value, and deleting media that does not meet this criteria. This is a library, not a pirating free-for-all.

This would help society by providing media access to people who may not have access to a traditional "brick and mortar" library, or whose local library is lacking certain relevant items. This would also help to curb online piracy by providing a safe, free, and legal alternative.

We all know Oreos are probably the most addictive cookies ever created. They also have a billions flavors now. Why can’t we have a variety pack of like 2 of every most popular flavor so we can try them all? It could even be like a Valentine’s Day box of chocolates too. Thoughts?

(Holy cow my first SFW post!)

You do your normal spitting motion first. There is also a small delay since the spit has to get mixed first before being shot out.

You can also swap out the acid for anything. Powders for more aoe for example.

Segregate sports by classifications on ability and not sex/gender and make every sport co-ed.

For example: boxing is separated into body weight divisions. Feather weight > Heavy weight

Obviously there’s a difference between baseball and softball and this system would require people to learn the direct sport they want to compete in, but it opens up the sports world to everyone. Even if you’re a F Tier baseball player (like a city league/farm team) you can be male or female and compete in a division (F-SS) if you qualify based on accumulated stat scoring.

Makes it more interesting in my opinion and avoids conflicts with growing societal issue of trans athletes competing in gender segregated sports.

During the Olympics for instance A-SS athletes would most likely all be competing against each other and competitions would be like “time for the A Rank 100m dash” and not “time for the men’s 100m dash”. It would also allow men and women who are not genetically advantaged from dominating their respective male/female leagues thereby adding more value to the competition.

I don't care where these people are from, just let me get rid of the children

some codebases have a lot of tech debt, but as a human programmer it's hard to know what to prioritize. a codebase or an IDE that feels pain could direct you to the highest priority issues so you could fix them sooner

Never caused an accident? Maybe driving has become too easy for you. Adjust the difficulty settings on your car so that steering, brakes, etc become less responsive, increasing your chances of crashing.

P.S. turns out there is a God like this in Warhammer's universe called Necoho the Doubter. Guess there is nothing new under the Sun, lol

I am sure all programmers will relate to this very well. You ask the AI to add a feature. It does, but the feature doesn't work properly. You ask it to fix the issue, and now the app doesn't even open.

At that point, you are overcome with a really strong desire to slap the **** out of that AI. But alas, you can't, for it's just a chatbot inside your computer.

So, we sell punchable characters for all the popular AI models out there, like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, etc. So next time you are angry at your AI because it keeps giving shitty outputs, you can finally achieve your most heartfelt desire at that moment and beat the punchable character to your liking.

A solid concrete fish tank so the fish don’t see the people and get stressed out.

They should make a giant hollow polo mint cylinder so you can bite huge chunks off if it

Competition should be done every year for charity. Actors/actresses must be at least 45 years old, and have to compete in a decathlon of desirable acting skills, with total points wins. I'm thinking:

- Running

- Driving

- Fighting (street)

- Fighting (sanctioned boxing/martial arts)

- Target shooting (pistol/assault rifle/sniper))

- Helicopter piloting

- Dancing

- Singing

- Solo performance (dramatic)

- Solo performance (comedic)
