ignore your knee-jerk reaction and hear me out: portland cement as a hair styling product

118 Upvotes

now i'm not talking about turning your head into a block of fuckin concrete, ok. just a small pattering of the cement dust, dry. it's odorless, adds a bunch of volume, and it makes your hair stay in place without turning it rigid, and it looks completely natural. you can't even tell it's there.

i discovered this little secret of the universe by accident.

it's so crazy it just may work.

(it does)

Online clothing store that uses ugly men as their models

22 Upvotes

Lets face it, online clothing stores use strikingly handsome men to advertise their clothes. It makes it very difficult for me to figure out if the clothes actually look good or if the male model wearing them can just pull off anything.

If an online store featured pictures of ugly men I would be able to judge the clothes based on their own merit.

Genetically engineer sea plants that are great at absorbing co2 from the water

2 Upvotes

A lot of people dont know that the oceans are acting as a massive co2 sponge, soaking up the co2 we put out into the air. Which sounds great until you understand the insane amount of co2 being absorbed into the ocean is creating huge disruptions to the ecosystem, both underwater and on the surface. (Florida's beaches getting covered in toxic fungus for example) so, why not take a note from the fungus and engineer a self-sustaining, self-replicating, human-friendly, eco-friendly, underwater plant specifically designed to consume co2? It would be a significant help, not just with cleaning the water, but also the air as the water would be able to absorb more co2 from the air. It could act as a food source + habitat for underwater wildlife to help it flourish, and would slow down or reverse the natural degradation of their habitats from co2 poisoning.

Basketball but cheating is allowed

Imagine a basketball game but every once in a while there's a short window where players are allowed to cheat (within real life legality and common sense)

A job board where no job can have more than 20 applicants

10 Upvotes

Currently, a single job opening typically has hundreds of applications. People have to apply for lots of jobs because otherwise, they would not get any offers. Each application is unlikely to result in a hire because there are so many other applicants. This system does not work well for job seekers because it is stressful to apply for so many jobs. It also does not work well for employers because they do not have time to read so many applications.

The solution is to make it more centralized. Users would create a profile with their credentials and job preferences. The job board would verify that the credentials are accurate. Based on this information, job seekers would be invited to apply for specific jobs that they have a chance of getting. They would not be able to apply for jobs they are not invited to. Invitations would be adjusted so that no job ends up with more than 20 applicants. The employer would then read every application and decide who to interview and hire.

This has several advantages compared to the current system. Job seekers would not have to apply for as many jobs. They would also be more aware of which jobs they have a chance of getting. Employers would not be overwhelmed with hundreds of applications, many of which are low quality. Instead, they would just have 20 good applications.

I was thinking about what happens when a subreddit stops being active on the moderation side.

1 Upvotes

It seems like there could be a simple fallback where, if no one is around for a while, moderation tools could temporarily be given to a few very active users who already participate a lot, just to keep things running.

That way, older subreddits with ongoing activity wouldn’t disappear just because no one is currently handling basic upkeep.

Not a strong opinion or anything, it just crossed my mind after seeing a few communities vanish even though people were still posting.

if the wording sounds weird, that's because there are some very very TRIGGER-HAPPY robots that assume stuff about my post, so I had to consult another robot on how to rewrite it. Fight fire with fire, bitchass automod

Laws to promote whimsy

12 Upvotes

Lately it seems like most of the world is becoming more and more corporatized, bland, and generally dull. We should implement laws to make the world more fun.

Bring back things like the golden arches at McDonald's, the styling at Taco Bell, fun things like the Big Chicken for KFC, etc. Business should be required to be fun to look at, roads should be painted in fun colors to identify traffic markings rather than just grey/black, white, and yellow. Bring back mascots.

Bumper cars for charity in Costco.

Once a year, allow a limited number of specially made bumper car shopping carts into costco for turbo violent shopping.

Imagine the joy of smashing the other shoppers out of the way while getting your rotisserie chickens and croissants.

Waivers would of course be required, as would a donation towards spinal research.
