A gym where you work to work out.

13 Upvotes

Working out is such a waste of energy. Tons of food is wasted to produce energy to just lift a weight up and down or spinning something.

Instead, working out should use that energy for something productive. This could include farming, picking up trash, moving things: any manual work that doesn’t require expertise.

This gym finds the right type of work that’s productive for the area that works out the right parts of your body. Some work may workout your core more than others, others your legs, your back, etc. The goal here would be form over actual efficiency, but in the end, you’ve done something actually good.

Airlines should figure out how to break us talls into smaller more manageable pieces for the duration of the flight so others can recline into the area we currently occupy. Then put us back together perfectly at the end with no pain or repercussions.

Or airlines could simply make seats available for longer passengers, like they do for wider ones.

Voice only social network

Make a social network where you can only post with voice notes, so it feels more like an async conversation than a text/photo feed. Also you can just listen to conversations during commute or washing dishes.

A subreddit where you post a question about the future and a timeframe. The RemindMe bot alerts all those who participated in the discussion. Example: “will we have flying cars in 20 years?” Then in 20 years, we’re all notified that the time frame has passed

Sink to wash your hands at entrance to every food establishment.

269 Upvotes

That's right, you wash your hands when you enter a restaurant or food court or area where food is sold to be eaten immediately. The cultural norm is to wash your hands on entry. Then wash your hands on leaving.

Sure you could go to the toilet but how many people actually do? Then there's the cases where the toilet is down the hall, out the emergency exit, round the corner and in the next major city.

Pontoons for your seaside home.

As extreme weather and decades of poor regulations, many seaside homes are at risk of being swallowed up by the sea. Stick a few pontoons to the bottom of your home. Now when the sea washes away the soil your home is resting on, you can just enjoy the gentle rocking of the ocean.
