- Fitted sheet must have label on bottom right seam
- Salted butter wrapping text must be red. Unsalted blue.
Coffee shop tables should be 3 legged to prevent them from wobbling and me spilling my coffee when I lean onto the table even just a bit.
I love a lot of the ideas in this thread but a ton of them are actually consequential.
Fast lane is for passing only
Tell that to the civil engineers who designed spaghetti bowls full of splits and left-exits and ignored surface street routes and mass transit so even when the freeways are moving at the speed limit there is enough traffic that there is no guarantee there will be enough space to move over at the perfect time.
This is a lovely enough idea for actual intercity travel, and it only takes a couple of clueless asses to make that frustrating, but I see people who think it’s actually realistic in populated areas and I shake my head.
Already is, just that nobody enforce this.
While I understand this, are you referring to freeways only?
Or do you include any street with a > 30 mph speed limit regardless if I need to be in the left lane for the stoplight in 1.5miles?
It’s almost always safer to sit in that lane when it’s busier than changing lanes

Ok, but if you are still tailgating me in the right lane because I’m doing the speed limit, I’m allowed to deploy James Bond style gadgets from my car at you.
Nope, if someone wants to pass you you need to get over
Where? Unless you’re saying people need to pull over on the shoulder because someone wants to speed in the right hand lane.
Minus the UK and few others, most countries left lane is fastest and people should pass on the left. Passing on the right causes more accidents, and weaving in and out of slow traffic does to. If slow traffic gets out of the left lane then that’s all avoided.
Read more better.
But that’s already regulated.
It’s is never enforced in the US and it’s incredibly frustrating
- Pwm flicker should be regulated on all LED devices, from smartphones to household bulbs and car turn signals.
- Price displayed is exactly what you pay. With tax, no credit card or smartphone surcharge or “cash discount”
- Tip screen on POS cash registers is displayed before you swipe/tap your card, not afterward.
The front panel connectors on a motherboard should all be standard and be a single connection.
The top speed of cars is limited to the highest speed limit in the country they’re certified for.
For emergencies, there’s a covered switch on the dash which disables the limit, calls 911 and transmits your position to them.Reverse the polarity of circuit diagrams so electrons flow along the arrows drawn for current.
Tipping, the default tipping options should be displayed next to the price of the item.
Hard disagree. Tipping should be abolished and restaurants forced to pay a living wage should be the only regulation around tipping.
Lol, I’m not saying this is the ultimate solution. I’m answering the question. I also think tipping should be abolished.
How about we just make tipping rounding and pay people a living wage? You know in Europe, eating out is not more expensive than it is in the US and they don’t beg for tips. It’s such bullshit here
I’m not from North America but I live in Canada now. I find tipping is ridiculous. But if I’m going to be forced to tip it should be made clear to me before the transaction starts. I’m not saying this is the best solution. Tipping should obviously be abolished but I’m just answering this question.
You are basically never forced to tip. I’ve seen some places auto add tip for huge parties, but it was known upfront. Otherwise it’s always a skippable option.
I hate tipping as much as the next guy but it really doesn’t bother me that the option exists, just hit 0 and move on if you feel like they shouldn’t get a tip. (Ex. Fast food)
You’re down playing the social and anchoring forces. For instance, you’re in a long line and you’re prompted to pay, the no tip or tip less than the default options is always more difficult. These default options are used by employers as a way to under pay staff. If these default options were made clear before the purchase there would be a pressure for businesses to reduce or remove those options. As it stands, the default options is a strong anchor.
I disagree. Hardest I’ve ever seen to not tip is click “other amount”, press 0, you’re done.
Your argument about a livable wage would have made sense years ago when there was a separate wage for tipped workers. Everyone in Canada get paid at least minimum wage now.
If you do any industrial processing step which creates something harmful for the environment, your company is responsible for undoing that step after nobody wants the result any more.
This creates an incentive to recycle and build stuff to be able to deconstruct it’s components. Less stuff in the landfills and more raw materials for recycling.
Let the consumer bear the cost by paying the real price of a product and not mother nature.
Dishwashers and dish sets have complimenting standards. E.g.
Dishwasher rack is set A.
Dishes (plates, bowls, tupperware, etc.) Would advertise as “fitting rack sizes A,B, & D!”
Check out this person with their “matching dishes”! Well, aren’t you fancy?
When buying toilets, people should be able to test the flush in the shop
The number of hotdogs in a hotdog pack and the number of hotdog buns in a hotdog bun pack cannot be coprime
Drinking straws are too wide/girthy on average. Every fast food and coffee place uses giant straws, while a relatively skinny straw provides a vastly superior drinking experience, in my view.
Packaging for supermarket products should have what the product is big and the branding small. Not the other way around.
Oh. Sound mixing on movies/tv shows should be such that voice lines are always perfectly audible even on shitty speakers. Make actors e n u n c i a t e like they did in the 30s. Christopher Nolan has a lot to answer for, turning all of media into mumblecore chief among those things.
Early access and beta and alpha terms for games. Also, early access has a time limit.
Alpha - we’re adding and removing features.
Beta - we’re 90% polishing 10% adding/removing.
Early access - just fixing bugs. Maximum 3 to 6 months.You can stay in alpha and beta as long as you want. I don’t want to change game dev actuality. I just want the terms to reflect what’s actually going on.
