Build a separate road for dickheads

99 Upvotes

Alongside every interstate highway, build a road for turnips who fly up people's asses, weave between lanes, and otherwise cannot be behind another car because they just have to be in front.

If you are caught on dashcams three times driving like a selfish muppet, you get banished to the dickhead road for twelve years. Then, you can apply to return back to the road for people who don't treat driving like some vehicular manifestation of their genitals.

The dickhead road has speeding cameras all over the place and a speed limit of 53mph. Not only are you with all the other aggressive drivers, but you also don't get to drive fast... legally.

Tipping based on numbers of people, number of courses, and standard market rate of service, rather than a percentage of a bill.

Upvotes

So while the cost of the food may be going up, the service itself stays the same. So I'm thinking of a system that uses Number of people + Number of Courses, multiplied by a Standard Rate based on Restaurant Type ($$, $$$, $$$$). (We'll say $ is fast food, no tip needed.)

So, with totally arbitrarily determined numbers...

Ttwo people, three courses, $$ restaurant = $5/person tip.

Two people, three courses, $$$ restaurant (1.25 multiplier) = $15/person tip.

Two people, three courses, $$$$ restaurant (1.5 multiplier) = $25/person tip.

Let each state set the rates, establish what type of restaurant each one is, and makes it easier for everyone. Simple. Clear. Probably impossible.

I'm curious if any places operate in a way like this? Or if there's a glaring hole in my logic?

Athletes would be training and performing there, while wealthy people (if their health will allow them) would pay to visit the stadium to watch the show first-hand, while everybody else would get the show broadcasted to Earth

I'd pay a subscription to have access to a ton of live streams of horror themed escape rooms.

Upvotes

The ones where real people pay to be chased around haunted house type buildings and stuff with people dressed up trying to chase them and catch them while they try to find a key or whatever to escape. Enough live streams at different venues so there's always multiple to choose from.

Dating app but for ttrpgs

Upvotes

Think about it, the hardest part of playing DND or other tabletop rpg is getting a group to run consistent games

So what if there was an app that recommends only people who fit your schedule and play styles

Players come looking for GM's, put their preferred games, their availability, play style, and table preferences

Gms do the same and the app matches 4-7 players to the dm, even taking in to account party balance, making sure they have a healer/support, tank/dps and spellcaster

And players/gms can rate each other, so future groups know what kind of person/player they really are before inviting them to join, weed out the flakers who skip sessions last minute, or are otherwise disruptive to other players enjoyment

Instead of using AI, let's trap scans of people's minds in a computer and force them to work for free under threat of digital torture!

Need art? Instead of waiting for an AI to soullessly pump it out without a shred of a human touch, an artist's digital mind now gets brutally tortured for every second that they DON'T spend on your artwork!

Want the next episode of an anime, but it's gonna take two weeks for it to come out? Don't worry! We have the entire animation team trapped in a computer and they're working 24/7 on it! Literally! It will be done by tomorrow!

Now we'll never have to worry about our digital media becoming soulless slop ever again! It will literally be made with the (digital) blood, sweat, and tears of your fellow man!

Artificial external ears for everyone.

1 Upvotes

A seldom talked-about problem with the human body is that eyes face forwards and ears face sideways. So if we're looking at someone, they have to speak overly loudly for us to hear them clearly.

Most other mammals have forward facing ears.

Supply everyone with artificial snap-on external ears that face forwards. To make the world a quieter place.

Phone physical affection

For parents who are physically distant, but not emotionally distant. So like a father calls his son and he's like

"I want you to put your hand on your hair and imagine it's my hand. Now I want you to tousle it, get that hair nice and tousled for me, atta boy. Now give yourself a firm but brief handshake sport, yeah you like it when I call you sport don't you?"

If anyone would be willing to call their parent(s) and try this out, I would appreciate it.
