Hey Pandas, What Simple Great Ideas Do You Have That Would Make The World So Much Better In Your Opinion?
What simple, silly ideas do you have that would make Earth way better?

Got your down vote finger ready? Ban automatic weapons except for the military. Not even cops, they can use tasers and rubber bullets. Yeah, I know those garage gunsmiths will rig something up, but its a start. automatic weapons make a person feel powerful and THAT is why its dangerous.
Bingo! Military-grade weapons don't even save soldiers in combat (see: any given war). They just give you a chance to spray-and-pray. Everyone *thinks* they'll be a bada** sniper in a melee, but the fact is, even the best-trained can be killed if ambushed by a putz with an AK. Keep the semi-auto and auto out of civilian hands. I've family who have to hunt for food, but they use a bolt-action single-shot. Y'know why? If you're actually a hunter, you know one shot will scare anything you don't hit. if you need more than one, GTFO the woods. (quoting my gramps yet again.)
Tax churches.
Not all churches are filled with money hungry pastors. Our church has a garden that we grow vegetables and fruits in - in 2022, we donated over 9,000 pounds/4082 kgs to local hunger relief efforts.
Free healthcare, and less complaining about things out of our control
(Plz dont downvote, I am just stating my opinion)
Not downvoting, just clarifying. "Free" healthcare still requires money from somewhere. I believe the vernacular needs to change from "free healthcare" to "we all have the RIGHT to healthcare." 100% on the complaining, though!
Corporations pay their taxes. Workers paid a living wage. Corporate responsibility to the environment rather than corporate greed.
What??? Corporations pay taxes? COMMUNIST!!!!! Next thing you'll be saying is that rich people should pay their fair share of taxes!!!!!!!!!! Then you'll want to allow everybody to vote!!!! Even poor people!!!!!!!! (Before you downvote me, I'm JOKING. That's SARCASM. Yes, I know, hard to tell these days.)
Instead of war, world leaders should have drunken fist fights in the middle of the UN.... And should be televised to the world.....
Follow only one rule: treat others (people, animals, our planet) as you would wish to be treated.
Make voting compulsory but have a “None of the above” category so those elected are aware of the percentage of the population they have failed to reach and how much work they have to do.
In Denmark the "none of the above" is just a voting sheet with no crosses on. We call it blank votes and they do get counted. I always tell ppl that if you don't like any of the parties you can aleays do a blank vote but you must not (and I repeat: you must NOT) stay away from voting. It is your citizen duty in a democratic society as ours. It is a DUTY!
Wow. Uh. A lot. I think the first one would to not let religion govern countries. Less suppression of minorities, effective law enforcement, more strict laws on weapons, less military funding etc etc. And less news stations, please.
Actually separate Church and State.
It is no one's business who I have in my bedroom except for me and whoever it is I have in my bedroom.
I live in one of the rare countries where State and Churches are separated. I can see there are benefits for Churches too. They can tell what they think (and not only what they are allowed to) and appoint the most competent people (not only the most politically pleasing). In short, they are free.
Let people tell their stories. You may not agree with their conclusions, you may argue the facts, but let them talk. And when you talk, don't demand everyone believe 100% what you do, or see the same events 100% the same as you do. Intellectual breathing space and emotional room are vital for good mental health. Give it, ask for it, respect it.
Making it so that healthier food is more affordable and eating less meat as a species would make it so that the world can have better farming practices that actually benefit the earth and environment. Especially here in America, there is so much wrong with how we eat and how the food is produced. Healthier eating practices would lead to better farming practices, which leads to a healthier earth. With the amount of beef we eat in America, farmers that actually treat the animals and ecosystems well cannot produce fast enough to meet the demand on their own. If we change the way we eat, we could have a much healthier human race and a much healthier planet. If you made it this far into my rambling post, I appreciate your patience. Have a good day :)
Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All. Sorry, but all of the talk about living wages and good jobs just isn't going to work in the near future. Automation, AI and robotics will start replacing large swathes of workers in a diverse range of industries. The last McDonald's I went to no longer had cashiers, only kiosks to place an order. ChatGTP that everyone has heard so much about is only the beginning, not the peak. It would be much better to have UBI than to have 45% unemployment in a country that is floating in weapons.
This is my first post on BP but I'm ready to get downvoted into oblivion: Less hate. Not just the big three (Homophobia, racism, transphobia), but all hate. Stop hating religious people and then calling them homophobic racists who exist solely to destroy us gay people. The hate of today's world is fueled by the media posting "CrAzY ChRiStIaN lAdY throwing a tantrum because she got the wrong order " and refusing to elaborate topics such as "Sweet old Christian grandma bakes cookies for homeless shelter every Sunday". Don't give into the masses of the general public - There are bad Christians, and bad gay people. Don't generalise, be open-minded.
Save the animals! Save the environment!
if they describe themselves as career politicians, they are not worth voting for. they will never understand ordinary peoples struggles as they have never endured them in their own lives
One must obtain a license in order to have children. To obtain this license, one must prove sufficient funds to care for child, take a parenting class, and take a drug test.
In Denmark you get a bit of money per child (up to 4th child, I think?) On a quarterly basis. This helps many families. In my family we use that money to save up for bigger celebrations for the kids and for renting a vacation home once per year (well, we pay the actual rent and the kids pay for the cleaning afterwards). So I think that the sufficient funding-thing could be avoided. Instead I want to replace it with therapy. I grew up with a narcisistic mom and that still has a toll on me emotionally. I have a history with depression, stress and anxiety. I can only hope that this doesn't impact too much on my kids. I think therapy should be a thing for ppl wanting to have kids but also for parents. Like an annual check-up where you went to see your therapist. If you needed it you could have 10 sessions per year for free to help you get on top of things in your mind so your kids would be less likely to need therapy as adults.
I have a few about how to change governments:
Legistlative: Instead of Congress/Parliment, we have 100 seats on a Council, which each have their own criteria based on census data for the population and the percentage of certain groups in that country (i.e., 50/50 male/female, an amount of LGBTQ+/POC seats equivalent to the percentage of those individuals in the country, a wide spectrum of ages)
Executive: No more parties, and CERTIANLY not an Electoral College or anything. Electoral College delegates aren't legally required to vote the way their state did, and I think its f****d up that you can win the popular vote and lose because of the Electoral College.
Judicial: Judges are not allowed to have political parties. They must be isolated from any world events not relevant to the cases at hand to ensure impartial judgement. They also have to have served before, have a law degree, and not be allowed to physically see the defenant/plaintiff to prevent bias. The epitome of justice is blind.
General: Amendments are always proposed by the people, no matter what. State laws are removed from the books IMMEDIATELY if a federal case deems them illegal. All prisons are government run, and must be checked regularly to insure that they are focused on rehabilitation, not punishment, and are HUMANE, SAFE, facilities for both the guard and inmates.
I've said it before and I've said it again, I should be in charge of planning the government of a country, because I am discriminated against in a variety of ways and want to prevent others from facing the same.
America: Eliminate the electoral college! Let's just go with the person receiving the largest number of votes wins any election. Gerrymandering eliminated, every vote counts. No more hijacking the government by politicians with a different agenda that the electorate.
I've never understood the American voting system. I hope American's can understand it.
Be accepting, don’t assume why people did something, don’t gossip or bully, don’t litter.
*DOWNVOTE TARGET AHEAD, CAPTAIN!* A careful, controlled redistribution of wealth. Not a poorly planned free for all, but something aimed at true universal benefit. In particular, if it would cost $2 billion dollars to end world hunger, then an individual with $10 billion dollars could (and should) make that happen. They would still have $8 billion dollars, still be rich. AND a world-wide problem could be solved in our lifetimes.
If you take $8 billion off that rich person, they would still have $2 billion and be fabulously wealthy, BUT... That would be the sum total of $1 to each person in the world and that isn't even solving world "I'm a bit peckish", let alone anything useful. PLUS, that $10 billion doesn't even exist in the first place, most of it is stock values that don't actually exist in real money terms. World hunger will only be solved by humans treating the world like every other species and stopping reproducing when the food supply *of that area* can't support a larger population.
All US Prisons should be functional farms as well as a place of “actual rehabilitation”. Nonviolent Inmates especially should be given the responsibility of growing fruits and veggies as well as caring for animals either for consumption or even to help feed the homeless. Rather than depending on tax payers inmates need to contribute to their own incarceration and gain useful skills. Private Prisons are filthy rich for just being the adult version of timeout while we foot the bill.
I've always thought non-violent offenses, or offenses that don't affect lots of people, or are under a certain amount of money don't even warrant jail time. No one should have to try to find a job with a record for some dumb, non violent thing they did when they were 19 for the rest of their life. We get one trip on this world. Stupid mistakes that don't cause great harm, were one-off, etc shouldn't make you lose your quality of life, for the rest of your life because you didn't have the money to get out of it. If we had a reasonable jail population size, and it was just literally the worst of the worst, whole lotta problems would be solved.
Everybody mind your own business, and always tell the truth.
Disagree. If you will only mind your own business, you don't get to help others who need your help. If you always tell the truth you will have trouble keeping friends. Or have no friend ever asked you about your opinion on her new dress, and you had just thought where did she get that horrible rag?
1.We should have metal detectors in every school

Outlaw advertising
at least make the advertisements on paper, billboards, posters in public, etc...
Instead of war, we settle debates with a peaceful rock paper scissors match best outta 3. Or a thumb war. Then everyone make sup and goes drinking afterwards. Sounds great huh?
No more child labor, racism, bullying, wars, pollution, etc.... anything bad towards the community and people. Other things such as stop breeding so many dogs, I dont want any more helpless puppies on the streets dying of starvation or dehydration. Instead of wars or fights, something that wont injure/harm people. Also, my last words in honor of the furries, NO MORE BULLIES!! Just dispose of the unneeded rudeness and stop being so disrespectful to us. Also, fruit is good on pizza (THE FECKING SAUCE IS FRUIT, IDIOTS, TOMATO IS FRUIT!!!).
Accept that people who do not look/act/think/believe exactly the same as you are not necessarily wrong because of that, just different.
When a person acts completely differently than me, sometimes I suspect that they're on to something. (Or just on something.)
It costs the U.S. government approximately $140,000 to fund a child to the age of 18....so, if you don't have any children by the time you hit 50 then how about the government cuts you a check for that amount ?
imagine if there were this little k**b, or switch or lever inside your car that you could use to indicate if you were turning or changing lanes.
Mutual, basic human respect. There is so much diversity on earth - of thought, of people - that it is impossible for everyone to be completely and utterly happy with all the different opinions. We shouldn't be aiming to make people have the same opinions as us, and think like us; we should be aiming for mutual respect and understanding. We need to understand that there is no single correct moral code or court of law. And we need to respect everyone, no matter how deeply we disagree with them. (This point, by the way, is in reference to general disagreements, not murder or something. Just for those people who are probably thinking that!)
How do we do this? Have spaces where people with diverse opinions, from different backgrounds, can have a voice. Spread the idea that there is no single right way to live life. Most of all, laern to listen. Have conversations.
Finally - if you don't agree with me, that's okay! Let's talk about it :)
And yet, some would consider this a whole different opinion that could be forced on people to follow T-T something a human person would do… I didn’t think it, I just thought someone somewhere out there thought it. I shall call this new offended people “The people intolerant of tolerance over intolerance”
collage gives you experience and is at a way lower price or completely free
Children tell adults what to do or are at least at the same level of importance and respect because adults are suppressing a lot of creative minds and abuse people just because we are not as big or strong as them
my plan is move into my dad’s house full-time (my parents are divorced so i switch between houses every week) -paying rent of course- until i can get financially on my feet, then move out full-time
I want to give out at least 5 compliments to strangers or companies every week. It makes me look actively for things I like in others. i also only share positive posts, so no "omg look what happend to this person/animal" post, no politics and no complot-terrorist stories. We don't wanna give those creeps a platform;-)
Stick to the rules you've created. All the rules are in place to ensure corporations pay taxes, laws are inflexible for the rich, countries must meet emission targets and governments should be secular. Unfortunately because politicians can only reach the heights where they can affect policy by being corrupt and taking massive donations, so it behoves them to not stick to the rules once they hit the top.
Politicians should not make money (except their salaries) while in office. Should not even be able to hold stocks. No politician should become a multimillionaire due to their position. Close all the avenues that cause this to happen.
A device implanted in religious people's ear that quoted, loud enough for those nearby to hear, direct verse and relevant passages at them ANY time they broke their 'sacred texts' laws. Just figure maybe that would keep them actual humble instead of pretend humble, and maybe keep them tf out of everyone elses business, be it spiritual or a lack thereof.
I think the world would be a lot better if we just said what we were thinking *if it's good.* Sometimes I feel nervous to compliment someone I don't know, but wouldn't it be great if random people just walked up to each other and were like, "Hey, I love that sweater you're wearing!" or "You are so beautiful! Have an awesome day!"
I do that sometimes when I feel a bit tired or down when I encounter someone who seems like that too. The smile they react with makes my day so much better. It is not just for selvish reasons, but because I know that they need a boost.
Save the animals! Save the environment!
My thought is: people should have a day or time of day in which they say little to no words. It would leave room for reflection and if it makes you uncomfortable (say, you’re trying to distract yourself from some reality) then it might help you face and come to terms with that reality. I dunno, just a thought
This was me on a daily basis when I studied at the uni and it was Summer break. 2 months of only occasional human contact. Instead I wrote letters to my pen pals and wrote with them on social media so when I had classes again I would have to re-wire my brain to use my native language again and not English. The amount of "what's the Danish word for [something]?" Was ridiculous for about a month after classes started again. I understood Danish perfectly I just forgot what a lot of words were when I had to use them myself. Lol. Fun times!
I've had a few ideas. Some less sane than others but still have potential
The first one is that paths and roads have temperature monitors and heat up when it gets below a certain temperature to avoid Black Ice and allows pets that go for walks on freezing grounds to be more comfier. In my eyes although I've hardly done the maths, I think this would help cut down on the use and labour for applying Grit salt onto only major roads, it'd be quicker and it'd cause less accidents
While we're on the subject of roads, build a path over existing roads for bikes, automatic scooters and automatic bikes. Not motorbikes though, I think they'd be too heavy so maybe an underground version? I chose the over the road option because then we don't have to dig into the ground to waste time but also the bike path as I'd call it would shield the normal road from weather conditions mostly. Only snowstorms would be a problem and we have the above idea for that. This would help with the issue of Bikes constantly going between traffic, being caught up in accidents, being blamed for stuff even when they didn't do it and I think it'd just be a quality of life improvement. Obviously we can't do that on ever road but the major ones where busses and Lorries can travel would be a good area of coverage I think
A work system for people fresh out of prison or those who turn to crime just to get by. This is a huge reason why prisons are filling up rapidly because jobs can't support a living wage. Now sure the obvious answer is to make it so jobs pay a living wage but anyone who's actually worked a job knows that you can't reason with those deluded idiots. They're just too far gone. So what a lot of people do to end up working 40+ hours a week is to work two jobs. That's all well and fine but what about people with records or those who can't land jobs for some reason and have no where else to turn but to steal? So I propose the building of new power stations. Lots and lots of them. You offer on sight training and eventually with a bit of positive reinforcement you have a whole new range of people who are fully trained and can work them for a decent wage meaning they don't have to commit crimes to get by. Obviously those messed up enough to steal and kill still will still be sent to prison but for today, that's not the case for all inmates. And as a bonus this helps with the energy crisis too. We could even have a whole new workforce to help with council service jobs to replace the guys who keep destroying all our roads and bins and everything because they can't be bothered to do their job properly
While we're on the subject of jobs. Seriously you giant corporations. Pay. Your. Staff. You might find they actually start to stick around and stop wishing death on you. There is such a thing called Duty of Care, start following it. This is why no one likes you. While I'm here I'd also like to tell my doctor to pick up the phone. My Tendonitis is not going away and I'm still doing all the hard labour jobs for the shop I work at and I'm the one getting blamed for "not trying hard enough" when I've been trying to get ahold of you FOR OVER A YEAR. Yeah, thanks a lot for that one
Other small ideas. In my town we have only 1 zebra crossing lights play music for the blind. That needs to be in a lot more places. Like absolutely everywhere. Also people need to learn how to drive. It's a Zebra Crossing, not a street race
A separate lane for Busses that have to stop regularly or for emergency services would also be quite good but I do understand that is a lot of work and not entirely feasible in every road. But I think it should help with traffic a bit
And finally my ultimate dream idea that's not going to have a chance of being invented any time soon: An app on your phone that when you point it at something, it tells you all the best thing to do. Translations, basic first aid. Common sense. That could really help out when everyone has their faces in their phones all the
After scientists deal with the big stuff, like poverty and cancer, etc., figure out how to stop women from getting periods.
Some birth control pills already do this. Either no period at all or just twice per year. I hated it so much! Sure, it's annoying and sometimes painful to have your period. But it's also a way for your body to show that 1. You are not pregnant and 2. Your body is functioning just fine.
There is ALWAYS more than one perspective on ANYTHING. Even life and death.
Allow people the courtesy to express their perspective(s) free from tyranny and persecution. Trying to force anything, will never equate to much.
Closely linked to that, live as honestly as possible. Lies cause nothing but trouble.
1. Helping the homeless by people offering a spare room or house whether for a night or longer. Difficult but doable. Think of the difference we could make to so many lives.
2. In animated movies offer the job of voicing the characters to actors who may not be physically able to act. Kids couldn't care less if it was a famous actor or not. Share the wealth!
3. When someone is excited to share a story that is important to them, acknowledge them and do not try to immediately top that with one of yours.
Most Importantly
4. If a neighbour doesn't have enough food for their children of course we would help them out. What if we thought to help every hungry child wherever they lived because they are our neighbours on this planet?
Emotional Development Education in all levels of education: how the emotional self works, conflict resolution practices, diversity awareness to end the fear of different people, communication practices to stay clear hearted, how to love one’s self, telling the truth, diplomacy, how to be emotionally mature in all situations.
Grammar school
High School
College courses a must for all business owners, medical practice owners, teachers, psychologists…to know how to bring this education to all staff members
Adult Ed for those who didn’t finish HS or College.
More schools for kids of all ages with Autism. Also, better support and acceptance of autism for kids and adults. I am very proud to be part of a new school opening this fall in my town. We have worked hard to create it and it is exciting to see it ready to open!
All religion only after you turn 18.
Sorry, there's a lot of misunderstandings here in the comments. I think this person means organized religion, not faith. Faith is usually good-natured, 'something to hold on to' kind-of-stuff. Organized religion, on the other hand, is a bit more chaotic and can be corrupted easily (Not saying all religion is bad).
This applies only to india , but i'd like theopinionof people from all over the world on these, so, hereit goes:
Allow (mandatorily open )carry of Fixed blade knives below 6 inches in length. and carry of other survival items. Change airport laws accordingly so that everyone can create post plane crash survival kits. allow carry of a small ( not more than 3 inches in total length ) ceramic knife at all times. Allow carry of all types of folding knives ( except balisongs and switchblades ) provided total length is under 6 inches .
Make Bushcraft , survival, martial arts, and wilderness training mandatory in Schools.
severe punishment for sexual crimes and crimes towards nature and natural resources.
Presidential rule in West Bengal. Hindu-Muslim disparity is present almost everywhere in india, but nowhere will one hear of communal issues cascading to whatever the hell is going on in this particular state. my father lives and works in telangana. We are a Hindu family, we have Muslim friends, all 3 of us. Dad celebrated the breaking of Ramdan's fast with some of his employees, only he did not have beef like they did.
Basically, West Bengalhas such a high communal conflict issue because of 3 reasons - a pseudo-dictator of a Chief minister in the form of Mamata Banerjee ( found nowhere else in India ), fanatic Muslims ( found in quite a few places across India ), and an opposition represented almost completely by known conpeople.
BJP and Navin Pattnaik's political party should alternate between being the Central Ruling party and the Central Opposition. the other parties should go f*ck themselves into oblivion.
Allow carrying of knuckledusters, tasers, pepper spray and personal alarm devices.
Legalise use of sattelite phones, and personal GPS devices. However, they must be easily discoverable, as in, should make special sounds when the companion app is activated, so if they are being used to track someone without their consent, the latter can easily discover them. On that note, their import from other countries should be banned to ensure this precaution exists.
Legalise Marijuana and Ganja ( Are they the same?). ban Alcohol, Smoking,vaping, and Hookahs.
Be kind. Mind your own business. Just, don't be an @ss. It's pretty simple really.
You don't have to like your neighbor or approve of their lifestyle, religion, etc.
You pass people on the street, you don't know what they're going through.
Act like a human being, and treat others like human beings.
Many people already picked some good ones. Everyone minding their own business is a good one, and respecting people's privacy. Stop filming and shaming strangers at the gym, and especially don't capture anyone in the locker rooms. That's a place of expected privacy and it's illegal. But people do it.
One thing would definitely be nice is ending this thug mentality, where if someone asks someone to not smoke/vape/toke around them then the offender thinks it's some sort of disrespect that deserves ending their life. This just happened a couple weeks ago in Vancouver. A family was out somewhere, there was a guy vaping close to the kid. The dad asked the vaper to move. In front of his wife and kid the vaper killed the dad.
I really need to stop reading comments on news articles. People were almost defending the killer, saying it was the Dad's fault for being worried about his kid's health and asking someone to move. Some people were hung up on the Dad taking issue with vapes. A few were giving condolences and addressing how senseless it was. One guy said "Think next time before you tell a smoker to move." It's not the first time someone has been killed over menial stuff like that in Canada and it's gotta stop. These people are not as tough and badass as they think they are.
Stop militarizing the police! Give them more training in de-escalation methods. Have alternatives to cops to call for non-threatening situations, such as a naked loony running around the neighborhood at oh-dark-thirty. More funding for helping people with mental health issues, more affordable housing, more assistance for victims of domestic violence, and a livable minimum wage that automatically increases to keep pace with inflation - all those will take burdens off the shoulders of police so they can focus on catching burglars, armed robbers, rapists and kitten-kickers.
If they only give you a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.
Ban private schools and allow homeschooling only in unusual circumstances.
You want your kid to get a good education? Use your money to make public schools better. No opting out.
I think homeschooling should be allowed, but I also DEFINITELY agree about making public schools better. Teachers need to be paid a lot better than they are.
Every cat shall be given two mousie toys and one spring toy a day, as well as lots of chicken.
I think this should be instead. Every person shall be given 5 liters of good drinking water and ½ a chicken every day. And every child should be offered basic education regardless of sex.
making long lasting products for the market such as technology items and clothing - i've been using my laptop for 3 years now, i'd love to use it for like 10 more years
making social media way less addictive
promoting reading as much as possible
promoting learning foreign languages
Penalty for drunk driving - first time: You lose your licence for a month; anyone can make a mistake. Second time - lose licence for a year, strong message. Third time, well, if you won't learn, then there's no place for you - off to the Organ Banks!
Good idea but too harsh. I would do, first time: warning. Second time: can’t drive for a month. Third time: Can’t drive for 6 months. Fourth time: Jail time. Fifth time: can’t drive ever again.
Nothing that I would tell strangers on the internet about.
Dog parks next to apartments because people but high energy dogs and keep them in apartments all day
SUPPORT THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND STOP KILLING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT!!! GAAH THE WORLD IS F***ED IF PEOPLE KEEP ACTING LIKE THIS. (Sorry for all caps this is just a huge problem)
people stop comparing people to others it causes so much anxiety
Cut military spending worldwide and put the money into education, health and environmental restoration. Also, a cap on personal wealth, plus wealthy people to pay their fair share of taxes.
Kinda sad that most of the things on this list SHOULD just be basic human decency and simple common sense. Unfortunately a scary amount of people seem to be lacking one or both.
Holy guacamole guys! Thanks for submitting in my post I was not expecting this many!
Limit terms for political offices and make the politicians live on minimum wage for a year before before being eligible to run. Additionally, free healthcare. The US is the only developed country in the world that does not have universal healthcare.
I 100% agree on term limits but I think every politician should have to be in the military for minimum 4 years as well. Not as an officer either but as a grunt, doing all the basic training etc. I don't know how I feel about full on free healthcare but we definitely need to get rid of the insurance system that makes everything so unaffordable for those who don't have it.
