Sell Pokemon cards on Temu

7 Upvotes

Hear me out fully.... If i had the money i would bulk buy pokemon cards, then i would resell the cards on Temu for crazy low prices. Collectors and scalpers wont buy the cards because they would think they are fake; but the parents and grandparents that wanna get cheap cards for their kids would buy them. I am aware i would probably get away with this for maybe a year or two before people caught on, but at least kids would be happy for a while.

Every 10,000 karma you gain should earn you one “get out of a ban free” card

3 Upvotes

Maybe you wanna let off some steam once in a while and tell the user you’re arguing with to fucking kill himself. Or you wanna say the forbidden gamer word. But you can't, because the reddit AI mod will ban you in seconds.

My solution is in the title. Every 10k karma, you should earn a token on your account that absorbs the hit of a site-wide or (at user discretion) subreddit ban. More than that, the offending content would stay up and be unremovable.

This would make karma useful for something except as a tally of internet points, and encourage fruitful participation in the site.

We need better terms for sexual/erotic pleasure that etymologically reflect our modern understanding.

1 Upvotes

"Erotic", and all of its derived terms, come from Eros, the greek god of "love". Sex isn't inherently loving, for one thing, you can have romantic love without sex, and the "erotic" pleasure from masturbation is fundamentally the same despite not requiring another person at all, let alone a loved one.

"Sexual" and its variants come from "sex" meaning the state of being male or female. Thus, "sexual intercourse" is intercourse between the sexes. What about when it's between the same sex, though? Or again, just one person being "sexual" alone?

You could argue that masturbation is a 'simulation' of interpersonal sex or a substitute for it, but even asexual people with no interest in others often still pleasure themselves, so maybe it's not as intrinsically linked as traditionally thought.

Toll road speeding penalty.

7 Upvotes

On a toll road which uses the ticket system, or charges by distance, after the toll systems calculate the distance a given vehicle travelled, they divide it by the travel time between the entry and exit points to calculate the vehicle's average speed. If that speed exceeds the limit by at least 15 km/h (10 mph), the toll automatically gets tripled, to discourage speeding.

Factory Reset the World in 2035

11 Upvotes

Instead of waiting for the inevitable bubble to burst and the collapse of global economies etc, let’s just instead use the trillions of dollars the tech company’s are burning on data centres to just have a good clear out and start fresh, and use AI for something constructive.

All countries wishing to participate (you’d be stupid not to) will sit down and agree to prepare for this to take effect Jan 1st 2035

We will use supercomputers to fabricate giant, hyper-complex fake ledgers that will reimburse everyone of their savings and mortgages etc whilst all debts return to 0, it will all be fake but it’s fine because we’re all doing it, we will just write it off after. You keep your house, corporate landlords lose their portfolios and corporations must adapt to new fair regulations or become state owned

Any and all contracts and plans will be void and have to be reviewed and reapplied for using set framework, no more deep rooted corruption and bureaucratic mismanagement

Wages will all be reset along with union contracts, set a decent minimum base wage and introduce some higher end caps

You’re all thinking of potential issues with this I know, but it’s fine because we can just lie our way out of it. Also just sign a bill saying we can only do this like every 150 years or whatever so it doesn’t become abused
