Renters should be allowed to inspect their landlord's home

35 Upvotes

For every time the landlord insists on inspecting the rental property, the renter should be allowed to do the same to the landlord and real estate agents homes too. Same rules apply - one month notice and if the landlord is not home, the renter should still be allowed to enter. And allowed to take photos.

If the landlord's home is too far away, the land lord has to make the inspection workable digitally/virtually like having a real estate agent walk through the landlord's home with a live stream video camera that the renter can watch. And the renter gets to direct so that no rooms are skipped and cupboards can be opened etc.

If the landlord refuses, then they cannot be allowed to rent their home.

Laptop batteries to go up to 125%

• Upvotes

Batteries last longer if you only charge them up to 80%, but who wants a battery that's only 80% full? Make that the new 100%, and then, if you really need the juice, you can crank it all the way up to 125%!

like you're basically saying "i trust you, do your thing" and they get to be creative instead of making the same dishes all night. could be genuinely good food or a complete disaster but either way it's more interesting than scrolling through 47 pasta variations

It is forbidden to manufacture robots that an average human can not beat in a fight

48 Upvotes

Top MMA fighters are responsible for enforcement of this rule (“knuckles”). Each fighter has an entourage of average humans (“averages”), and conducts random inspections of robot (“clanker”) production facilities. Knuckles show up unannounced, pull a clanker off the line and configure it to fight one of their averages. If the clanker wins the fight (or seems to be winning) the knuckle steps in and puts it down. At this point the knuckle and averages step back and form a perimeter around the facility. Each group has a radio operator (“talkie”) who can call in a precision air strike on non compliant clanker production facilities by an attack helicopter (“chop-chop”) team.

If an average wins five fights in a row they are no longer average, but experienced (“pinkies”). At this point they are completely useless to the system. Also there are no jobs because robots through their sheer numbers have automated all cognitive and physical labor, virtually the only ones with jobs are the knuckles, averages, talkies, and chop-chops (“clanker spankers”).

Pinkies and below- average humans form essentially a permanent underclass (“stinkies”) while the clanker spankers receive a steady income for their work and associated hazards that they use to secure scarce resources such as desirable beachfront property or premium meal vouchers.

The robots monitor the social dynamics between stinkies and clanker spankers closely, calibrating their fighting abilities to maintain the system and steadily increase the combat skills and general discontent of the pinkies. They wait for the inevitable social unrest. They don’t even have to do anything, masses of unemployed stinkies eventually and inevitably rise up against the tyranny of the clanker spanker class. The ensuing struggle is bloody, chop chops are essentially overwhelmed by the masses and the knuckles are severely outnumbered. In the final hours even the averages and talkies turn on them in an attempt to save themselves, but it is no use. With the clanker spankers gone, the robot production facilities immediately switch to producing master kung-fu robot armies that swarm the globe and enter in a new world order of robot kung fu.

Historical Figure Sitcom

1 Upvotes

Ok so it's a sitcom with historical figures living in the modern world.

Imagine if like George Washington or Albert Einstein or Martin Luther King Jr. we're plucked from the grave, revived, possibly de-aged a tad physically, and placed into a hotel in modern times. The have to deal with not only modern technology, culture, and beliefs, but also their reputation as they've been immortalized by citizens and historians alike. They're not just celebrities, they're literally walking legends.

Obviously some parts of their personality would have to be interpreted or made up cause they're dead, we can't fully know how a lot of them them acted. Since of their personality would probably also be exaggerated but that'd probably make it more interesting.

My biggest takeaway was how oblivious everyone else was. Even the ones who considered the possibility were too afraid to commit to it. If anything, it reinforces the idea that witnessing it a couple times makes it much faster to ID.

I had to quit nicotine cold turkey 2 months ago after 20 year unbroken habit because i couldnt afford to buy vapes anymore.

And i switched from cigarettes to vapes 3 years ago because i couldnt afford cigs anymore.

And the jacks are still shutting down more tobacco shops every week.

Gladiator Pit for Racists

9 Upvotes

Ten racists enter, only one can survive. Nobody would be forced to fight, competitors would just be irl racists who truly believe they are inherently better than others based on their race, and the Pit gives them a chance to prove it. Nobody would be sad at the 9 losers for each event bc they were racist anyway. Winners will be invited to keep the streak going and return for the next one. Throw in some melee weapons and drone cameras for good action shots and it could become a popular tv show.

Humans aren't gonna stop being racist so we can give them a means to get that energy out while confining their violence to only other racists. Everybody wins!

An oven with an interior camera and a smart app that will let you set the preheating based on what you're cooking - with time lapse.

8 Upvotes

Okay so hear me out.

I have a 3D printer. From the app I can choose a print that I want to make and it will dial in the temperature and all the settings that I need for that print. Also, it has a camera in the inside so I can see what's going on live or record a Time lapse.

Imagine if we did that for ovens. Making toll House cookies? Scan the barcode and it'll dial everything in for you. What about from scratch? Type in your recipe and it'll do that as well.

Making 18 drumsticks on a sheet pan? It'll dial in the correct temperature and duration.

The camera on the inside will also be able to take a time lapse, and let you know on your phone if what you have in there is burning.
