A pill that makes it so you don't dissociate anymore. That'd also be useful.

By that I mean one that is backwards like the seasons and you can still celebrate Christmas in winter in places like Australia and New Zealand.

I would say the biggest reason why this wasnt invented because Australia and New Zealand were colonized before Christmas was commercialized.

By commercialized, it became associated with decorations, snow, Christmas food.


Not sure what you mean.
But yes I can imagine how holidays are messed up because you have summer when we have winter.

Do you mean that you want to celebrate Christmas when there is snow on the ground in the temperate zone in the southern Hemisphere (which would be when its summer here in the northern hemisphere)?

If thats what you mean then that makes sense to me. You all should be allowed to have Christmas on your own southern hemisphere date (around the Summer solstice -june 21 - like Dec. 25th is around the winter solstice-Dec 21- of the northern hemisphere).

You're right about the whole holidays being messed up with the seasons being reversed.

Ability to buy the operating systems for game consoles (especially retro consoles) to install them on a computer as an app, similar to virtual boxes on computers. Game console emulators themselves aren't illegal, but however some emulators require things like BIOS files, which themselves are illegal to download.

Foam stuff you can rub all over your hair and it washes it. Yes I know dry shampoo exists but this foam stuff would be much more efficient and you could use it every time your hair needs a wash and you'll never need to get your hair wet under the shower again.

In bus depots, all buses should be parked under a big roof, and you sweep all the trash off each bus on to the ground, then near the end of your shift you go outside, press a switch, and the inside of the roof sucks up all the trash from the floor, then it can be emptied from inside the roof into a huge massive bin or something.

"College students used Meta’s smart glasses to dox people in real time"
https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/2/2426 ... ng-privacy

I'd like a pair of those doxxing glasses. But there's a catch. It reveals not only true legal name, but whether they are narcissistic or Machiavellian, and how strongly so, rating them on a scale of 1 to 10.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; "The Shopping Stick" or the "Shopping Stick Deluxe"

A 6.5x43mm cartridge based on the the 7.62×45mm Czech cartridge.

Mostly because it's what I used when I played NationStates. :nerdy:
