People who've tried heroin or other strong narcotics report that it felt so indescribably amazing and euphoric that nothing else in life can compare and everything other than being high feels bad now.

What if there was a drug that causes the opposite effect and makes you feel insufferably terrible for a few hours so everything else in life feels much better comparatively? Nothing could go wrong!

String cheese but longer much longer

BUT you have to wear listening devices like earbuds. You can hear zombies or some terrifying entity chasing after you. The audio is 3D/360° and binaural, so it sounds much more realistic. It also scans your environment so if you move to the left, the audio is heard more from your right, vice versa. The slower you get, the louder the monster becomes, as if it's catching up to you. The sound design would also have to be really high quality. Thr monsters are also relentless, but you can mark a destination on a map as a safehouse. When you arrive then you're finally safe. And you can also connect to a server to do co-op runs with friends. So instead of being alone, you can also have a buddy to run with from zombies

I come across these random debates on the news with these so-called experts who blabber nonsense and derail the conversation into something else other than the main topic. It's really frustrating as a neutral viewer to actually understand the truth.

So in future, I propose an alternative. Each panelist must wear a shock ring on their finger. And each time they lie or derail the topic info a propaganda statement, an AI block should show a fact check and offer a demerit point to a panelist. If the panelist continues to lie and derail the topic 3 times in the debate the shock ring should activate and shock the panelist. Nobody wants their f\*cking opinion. The same should be done to news journalists who blurt out opinions instead of facts.

Everyone gets one banana per day for free. Can do whatever he wants with it.

Maybe an app that knows when you walked and tells you which theater to head to.

I think the 3 people requirement promotes more platonic meetups. Yeah I know things can just as easily develop from there, but it works perfectly for an app that's focused on finding friends and hanging out

I noticed that people are more open when they're not just talking to one stranger. Adding a 3rd party keeps the conversation flowing better and gives the other person more room to relax and spectate. Those small windows where the spotlight is not on you and you can freely think before jumping in on the conversation helps a lot. Especially if someone's not super social.

So I'm sitting here thinking of xmas gifts and I'm like why the hell doesn't a Farting butt exist. So I get this idea:

Butts that you strap on and fart with!

See it's a gag gift, but maybe it's also a game. Plus you can tell people you got your buddy/wife/child a prosti toot, or you stayed up all night with the family/boss/mom playing with your Prosti Toots.

It's a bit genius maybe too genius, but maybe a little crazy too. Anyways folks, let's crowd fund this shit!

Toooooot!

It's like a metal detector, but it detects bones.

The only people not drugged of course would be the pilots and an armed guard to ensure the pilots’ safety.

No one knows they’ve been drugged until it kicks in midway over the pacific.

You may not be aware, but it is possible for a company's trademark to become "watered down" to the point that they lose control of it. If the trademarked name enters the public's lexicon as a generic word and gets used enough, the company loses the ability to sue others for using it.

Some examples of trademarks that got watered down this way: Band-Aid, Xerox, Spam. Because the public just decided these words were generic, that's exactly what they became.

So take the big brands that everybody hates and start using their names to apply to a generic category instead. Like how big poorly made houses became McMansions (much to the chagrin of McDonalds).

Start with a group of plucky kid friends in a small podunk town: Bill the charmer, Tom the bookworm, Mary the daredevil, Bill's sister Susan the tinkerer, and Mary's dog Lucky. These kids have been friends for as long as they can remember, and through thick and thin, they've discovered that if they put their heads together and believe in themselves, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to.

These limitless capabilities are deemed a threat.

Now, various powerful groups are working to keep the "gang" apart, fearing that they may 'put their heads together' to accomplish something more drastic than saving the local rec center.

But they can't be kept apart. Their bond and can-do attitude are just too strong.

Kids with cancer and other horrible illnesses obviously get priority, but suicidal people should get some wishes too. And I know people are gonna say “oh what if you don’t kill yourself”, well then they can put me on the Wall of Shame if I pass my date - which can also double as a way to shame the kids who make wishes but also survive their illnesses.

new 2027 cars sold in North American region are required to have a switch that turns the driver side headlight "L" off independently of passenger side headlight "R". Rationale is surprisingly intuitive. When two cars approach each other from opposite directions, each vehicle turning off one headlamp, the total amount of light is exactly the same as one car with both headlights on. No reduction in safety.

Automatic off/on with a pushbutton is allowed as secondary and supplementing method, but must be integrated with vehicle speedometer, so that automatic switching headlight ON occurs after 240 feet of travelled distance. For 55 mph this means 3 seconds, at 25 mph 6 seconds OFF then automatic ON. States are expected to update local laws, ordinances in rapid succession, to include the turn left headlamp off law for approaching cars.
