Hey Pandas, What Are Some Things That Should Be Invented? (Closed)

What would be REALLY special is a morning-after pill for males.

homework making robot or a selfriding kitchen

When you are feeling down and useless just remember - there is someone whose job it is to install turn signals on BMWs :P

Those already exist, they're just REALLY weird to use.

It exists, but with a pay as you use it contract, it Costa us about 10$ for every use, gets kinda expensive....

The problem is that each type of plastic needs to be extruded at a different temperature and rate so the end filament needs to be made of a consistent plastic Making good PLA filament isn't easy (the use of PLA filament for 3D printers was invented here in New Zealand) - it needs to be heated to a consistent temperature and then cooled in a controlled manner otherwise it get brittle. Cheap PLA filament isn't usually pure and contains modifiers. PLA at least is pretty human safe, a lot of filament isn't nice stuff when heated up and as for some random household plastic... There is a lot of effort going into reusing the plastic from failed prints (which is generally the cleanest) but making it into new filament but even that isn't pure any more. I've seen chopped waste filament used for art projects, the plastic is arranged together in an image and heat pressed (see Geeko Farm episode 92) and I've also seen a machine which takes milk bottle lids from sorted household waste and tiles

that was my idea! I suck at patenting.

I was wondering where I’d heard the phrase ‘Babel fish’ before, since it seemed pretty familiar. Then I realized it’s from the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Tbh a lot of the fictional ideas in them are great.

if the implant gets hacked you've got a problem, Augmented Reality contacts/glasses would be better

Teflon toilet bowls

Yes! And for side mirrors.

Got glasses at age 4, wished for these all my life. Got new eyes at age 69. No glasses now.

Some boxed cereals did have them for a while. The mega bags do have them.

All your comments are great solutions, however, I was just pointing out the lack of resealable bags lead to having to do all that extra. If the were already resealable in the first place, there would be no need to do all that.

I just fold the top over enough and attach a peg.

"To dream, the Impossible Dream!"

That would be great if you could use them on the politicians you contemplated voting for.

This already exists, albeit in primitive forms. It's called common sense, and when utilized with a modicum of education, can lead the majority of people to see through the ignorant conspiracies and garbage that is so prevalent in the world.

The irony of "invisible...the way I see it"

Invisible? That’s callled being a teenager.

Oof. I feel u. I accidentally swam twice with my hearing aids. What would be better is clog proof hearing aids. Fortunately, I only have progressive hearing loss, so I can still mostly hear. But the point behind it is plain and simple.

Fully functioning pockets

And it is being worked on, but remember the only one we know about is the sun!

Well, we do have the Metric System - which people in the US normally avoid like Chernobyl

We could call it: “The Metric System”

We already have a worldword system of measurement - it's called the Metric systems (SI). For some reason, the US, Liberia, and Myanmar don't use it. Nice company the US is keep there.

This feels like something that is wildly open to abuse, but I love the intention behind it.

Or at least the sound of slamming the phone down like we could with the older wired phones.

Love this idea - it would be super cool to put your car in your pocket.

It doesn't need to be large to be enjoyable, but being smaller in order to fit does come in handy. I had a GF once who couldn't....

I like your idea, but this already exists. It's called Valid Emotions 'R Us.

And while we are at it: not only the replicator, but also the holodeck and beaming.

pull the weeds and let them feed the soil while decomposing, they'll act as cover for the soil preventing dryness and will help reduce need for watering :)

Instead of beeping have it play Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix

They've had car alarms that notify your phone available for almost 20 years. My boss at my college job had one on his car. Not exactly a keychain, but that's a really long time for technology - and most people keep their phone closer than their keys (eg who walks around their house with their keys always within reach).

This!

Jarvus?

I want a way to delete stuff from my ageing brain that I no longer need, to free up room for things like the reason I went upstairs. I can remember a list of products and their numbers that I memorised in 1982...I haven't worked at that company since 1991.

And the beautiful landscapes possible if we didn't need to cover them with asfalt roads.

As I understand it, the sleep is a time when you brain is cleansed of stuff, that is not good for it, and I am sure, that it cannot be speeded up without risk of damage to your brain.

But it has been invented thousands of years ago, it is just not always used.

Sorry ment to say like a brain erasing machine for sterotypes.

That is just an MRI machine with an ai built-in to recognize patterns.

I do understand you.

Also, a ctrlc ctrlv function. U get to copy anyone and anything, including yourself

My mom pressed it onto the new bar, when they were both wet. It stuck on and was used up that way.

I would like a device which would send idiot drivers to the curb, shut their engines off, and not allow them to start again.

Why do they mount those toilet paper dispensers so low that you almost have to get on the floor to get any?

Sorry posted a bunch lol 😂

Because of course people would never do anything like say, take their locked guns and ammo to a range, load them just before shooting them, check they are unloaded and then lock the ammo and guns safely up before leaving the range again. Maybe you should spend some time with one of the majority of safe and responsible firearms owners out there. Also there have been explosive detectors around for a long time.
