- Fitted sheet must have label on bottom right seam
- Salted butter wrapping text must be red. Unsalted blue.
Reverse the polarity of circuit diagrams so electrons flow along the arrows drawn for current.
Those yellow bump things for blind people. They need to follow a spec that then in turn cart manufacturers, wheelchair manufacturers, and wagon cart manufacturers all build around so that when I travel over them they don’t jostle my whole cart around and tip over my drink.
If your toaster can’t fit a slice of Warburton’ Toastie comfortably, then the CEO of the toaster company gets toasted to death at the stake.
Further: all toasters should be able to steal the sunbeam radiant control patent since it’s being squatted on and not used in any toaster on the market
every date MUST be in RFC 3339 format. e.g. 2024-09-08, with optionally the time: 21:41:24+02:00
and hell no not ISO 8601 cause then people would use stuff like 2024W154
Thank you! Also nobody wants to buy a copy of an ISO standard
I think that ISO 8601 is available for free. But agreed that the RFC version is superior.
Would you allow long dates?
For example, Jan. 11, 2022, or 7 September 2010.
no, for cross-language interoperability. ok I just noticed that this breaks other calendar systems but well
Expand allergy warning labels on products. Mammal product allergy exists, it’s called alpha-gal syndrome - one of the issues that can arise from a tick bite. I would like to see allergy labels for beef, pork, gelatin, and carrageenan alongside the ones for milk, wheat, nuts, etc.
And cocoa. It’s a common allergen, causing migraines.
just use primate byproducts and alpah-gal shouldn’t be affected
I just want it to be more clear what products are in my food.
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.
Women’s clothing now have the same definition for what is xs s m l xl and etc
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.
All shoe and clothing companies must use universal measurements and sizes
Harris Walz should make policy announcements from this thread, surely they would get a ton of more votes
INTERNET SHOULD BE A PUBLIC UTILITY! SAME AS WATER, TRASH SERVICE, ELECTRICITY AND GAS.
All vehicles have an auto-sensor that detects when the steering mechanism is turned past a certain point and activates the fucking turn signal. Deactivates it once the steering mechanism returns past that point.
Tell me you don’t understand how to use a turn signal without telling me you don’t understand how to use a turn signal.
So it would engage if you switch lanes, but also if the road curved slightly…?
But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you’ve already started to turn it.
Better rule, if the vehicle detects that the turn signal is not active and you’re making a turn, it engages temporary self driving and delivers an electric shock to the crotch .
That would make some people do that on purpose
On multi-lane merge ramps is the guy in the right lane signalling his left blinker because his steering wheel is turned or is he planning to dive into your lane before the merge?
Good rules!
Bottom right = standing or lying? Tag should be on flat also and must tell the bed size.
I think my butters are opposite colors.
- Loading dishwashers properly requires an official government license and a test.
- Putting a flat plate in front of a bowl means a year of hard labor.
- Loading any of the good kitchen knives is an automatic 10 years.
I absolutely agree with you. My former flatmate didn’t like to use the dishwasher because according to her, it wouldn’t clean the dishes properly. Yet she would load the dishwasher by stacking the plates horizontally… as you would store them in a cupboard
I’m impressed they managed to work out the complex process of inhaling and exhaling with that few working brain cells.
Right so you take it really seriously… Regulating something inconsequential now has consequences and they’re draconian!
But how am I supposed to wash my good kitchen knives?
Same as you wash the poop knife. In the toilet.
All of the good knives i have say to only hand wash them.
It may seem slightly above inconsequential, but parking. Parking is a great example of arbitrary rules having longstanding effects. (Really neat video on parking regulations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUNXFHpUhu8)
As for more inconsequential. Leafblowers Leafblowers immediately banned unless they are

My neighbor likes to do yardwork at 10pm
Luckily he has electric equipment so it doesn’t make as much noise
Except for the days he decides to do woodworking too
So 10 times quieter than a silent room?
They need to suck sound out of the environment
/s
They said regulate, it’s up to the industry to create a compliant product
It must be quieter than the sound of a leaf hitting the ground!
Oh no… Guess we can’t have leaf lowers anymore… Shame…
Can we have leaf highers?
Yeah no kidding, this guy uses decibel scale but doesn’t understand decibel scale. I fucking hate leaf blowers but 55dB seems like a reasonable starting point to me. It won’t even barely reach your yard from a neighbor’s.
WHY IN GODS NAME ARE YOU LEAF-BLOWING AT 8AM ON A SATURDAY
These people are usually the sorts who rise at 5am regardless of day and have become bored after 3 hours awake. If they think about it at all, they believe that everyone who is not yet up by 8am is a fool who ought to be out of bed, thus that is the perfect time to make noise.
As to why they rise at 5am, take your pick from: i) Old and unable to sleep for long periods - Will be asleep again in an armchair by 11am once they’ve gone back inside; ii) Military bearing or wannabe - Probably has reveille.wav for an alarm; iii) Abject a-hole who gets a kick out of it. Honourable mention: iv) someone with no choice under direction from one of the above.
I’m guilty of 8am yardwork, but mostly mowing in the hottest part of summer at the coolest part of the day. I’m also guilty of 8pm yardwork when it’s just the only time I can find to get it done. I only mow once every 2-4 weeks depending on how much my grass has grown, so I figure that balances it out somewhat
Small bladder, but I still refrain from impacting others.
You forgot v) collaborates internationally for work, requiring them to be awake early to maximize overlapping hours in their workday.
But even I know not to do noisy shit outside until at least 10. Those few quiet hours in the morning where it seems I’m the only person alive are to drink coffee and cherish.
you also forgot people who work in factories that have to get up at 4:00 a.m. during the week and so they like to sleep in till 5:00 a.m. on the weekends.
Never live in the japanese countryside. Work starts between 5 and 6am every day (sunrise is before 4:30am at it’s earliest where I live). By 9am in August, it’s already getting ridiculously hot for working outside.
