Okay this is a silly idea but I was just wondering why no one makes an elevator that you can “undo” after you push a button? There’s no way we wouldn’t have the technology to do something this simple. Like if a button is pushed we should be able to push it again to stop it from going to that floor. Would be so helpful when someone does a christmas tree prank or even for when you just push the wrong button on accident :)

In a lot of the world, legislative bodies (national level and below) are bicameral, they have an upper house which usually represents political divisions, and a lower house which usually represents "the people." I propose that we add a third house that doesn't just "represent" the people, but is composed of people. Do almost the same thing that jury selection does and summon people for a term of service. Perhaps the equivalent of voir dire can be done by the now-middle-house representative for their district. How it would interact with the other two houses, I don't know. Having bills have to go back and forth between three houses seems very inefficient, you think "Congress is slow" jokes are bad now, lol! But seriously, at least for the United States, the house of representatives, and the state governments modeled from it, were supposed to represent the people by being composed of theoretically-accessible members of the community. We've moved away from that, and I don't see a good change for a return to that. This would give "the people" a more direct vote, and by being summoned rather than elected, takes a lot of politics out of the equation.

I know there is battlefront but that was more like battlefield meets Star wars I have some ideas for score streaks and the "nuke" they look different depending on which side you are

UAV and C-Uav they are in the sky and teleport in using the light speed look

Sentry gun can be manually operated or automatic but auto is a bit slower

Whatever the Small At-At Walker is called

Interceptors destroys air streaks and big stuff on the ground

The nuke for the sith is the death star and the rebels have something that blows up the death star maybe a few alternatives in animation

Attachments like a cryo freeze and reloading being able to be swapped out in exchange for a faster overheating time in later levels

This is just the start a few good maps would be the big snowfield, the Forrest, tatoine in a town

I suck at coding (I don't even have a PC to do so) but I had a brilliant idea (maybe) and thought I'd share it

The game would be very similar to tomodachi and the game would use the same mii system as tomodachi life (probably under a different name as to avoid copyright) and essentially have the same gameplay as tomodachi life. The differences would come up in the "mii's" dialog as all of the dialog would be generated by ai, the way the ai would generate this would be that while you're creating your "mii" you would give a short backstory of your character. The ai will further develop the dialog based on which foods become there favorites or least favorites or the areas they hang out the most or who there friends are etc.

I’m a gnome maker and always in need of new ideas each year. The majority of my customers are over 50 so I’m looking for things that will appeal to that demographic. I’ve done the basic themes like coffee, fruit, floral, animals, lake/beach, holidays, seasons, Betty Boop, Route 66, etc. I’ve made so many in all the years I’ve been in business, that I feel like I’m running out of ideas.

I’m thinking bingo, sewing, puzzles, I love Lucy maybe? Just throw a bunch of random ideas out to me. Please and thank you!

Essentially imagine if a dartboard were to be printed onto a sock and then a tennis ball was placed where the center bullseye is at, and so this tennis ball is mechanically or manually being moved by the force of each dart thrown, so the bullseye will always be moving.

I also had an idea about golfing, why don't people just get like a bucked of their preferred color of golf ball then instead of hitting one at a time, then every turn you hit as many as your bucket holds, so then you have 4 people, blue green, red yellow and you all 4 are hitting about 20 balls, then you move to find teach 20, then you all gradually get as many balls into a bigger golf hole instead of just getting 1 golf ball into 1 tiny hole, turning golf into a game about speed allowing people not take so much time preparing for a single swing. just a thought though.

To be honest the current university curriculum in almost every universities seems to be outdated and the thing is that the professors are not willing to change the way of their teaching and keeps sticking to the legacy models . In my experience all of our teachers follow the old model imposing their ideas on students and not willing to change even the tiniest bit in their approach towards teaching or the curriculum . What if we begin an initiative where students itself learns some topic of their interests relevant in their field i.e for example one student might be knowledgeable in Digital forensics and the other might be more into penetration testing .What if they share this knowledge in ways which their peers will understand as it is easier for students to get along well and motivate each other . The teacher would act as a guide to keep them on track and check their progress often providing them with supplements . I honestly think this can make college life much more interesting and fun to learn . What do you guys think

Okay, hear me out. College GPA is kinda overrated, right? Most employers don't even care about it (except maybe for your first job), so why are we still stressing students out over it? Here's my idea:

What if instead of traditional grades, all college courses were pass/fail? Professors would decide if you pass or fail based on their own standards, and students wouldn't have to obsess over whether they got a B+ or an A-.

BUT here’s the twist: at the end of your degree, once you’ve taken all the required courses for your major, you’d take a comprehensive exam designed by the university's department for your field. If you pass the exam, you graduate. Simple as that.

The exam could cover all the key concepts, and you can retake it as many times as needed (obviously, with some studying in between). The idea is that instead of stressing over grades, you’re focusing on actually learning the material and being ready for one big test that proves you know your stuff.

I feel like this could:

1. Make college less stressful.
2. Encourage real learning over grade-chasing.
3. Better align with what employers actually care about (can you DO the thing, not just get an A in a class).

Of course, there are challenges—like making sure pass/fail isn’t abused, and figuring out how to create a fair and rigorous final exam—but I think it’s worth exploring.

So Australia want to ban 16 year olds off social media, I also feel the internet has had a feeling of the wild west in what it gives access too, media kinda solved this years ago, with Age ratings and requiring id to buy thing in the shop. (yes its abused and standards have drop, I doubt everyone was correct age playing GTA5 for example) But its basic level of protection.

Now with Online, I dont like the idea of is having to have your id uploaded to these compaines, it another data point they can sell and its a big privacy issue, how many hacks have we seen where your data is lost, or is sold etc. So I think having to say upload your ID is a big problem.

So I was thinking, why dont internet companies create a card, that is sold in shops, has no personal data but its AGE restricted to buy in the shops, just say a code you enter. A small cost of the card say £5, to cover the cost of running the service, it could be used for multiple sites. If your found to be using the card underage, you face maybe a small fine and lost of account, so then this would add a cost and it would maybe cut down on bots. (i know its not kinda worked on X,) but the money raised by the system could also help fund online help, moderation and reporting these issues.

I know its not a perfect system but I think it better that whats been purpose. what does everyone think?

I am 16 and have an idea of a drone design but no idea how to execute it . I while traveling saw birds especially eagles and saw that they barely flap there wings and Use their body pattern to glide in air . And I wonder what will happen if we infuse a drones feature in a body shape of peregrine falcon . Specifically peregrine falcon because it is tge fastest bird with the best aerodynamics. So my idea is that we take the body of peregrine falcon Use plastic or lighter substance to make the body Then on the wings part Use two powerful thrusters for Example 12 kilowatt hall thruster ( I don't know any thing about these thrusters I just Google the most powerful electric thrusters) Now mounting these powerful thrusters on the wings the peregrine falcon will float and go higher up in the air Approx 3500 feet cause that's where peregrine falcon fly . Now when the drone will reach the required height the thrusters will change its direction from below to side and then the drone will use the physics of the birds flight and will glide at great speed and the thrusters will further increase the speed. The place where the birds eyes will be there can be two compact and yet powerful camera for an instance the s24 ultra's camera (as this is the most powerful camera I know which is compact)and in the place of the beak of the falcon drone micro sensors can be planted which can gather resource full information This drone if flew at a great height can gather huge information and even may predict weather of small area, it can be also be used for cloud seeding a small area,this bird drone can also capture great takes and shots from a bird eye view as a very powerful camera is installed in it. (Now pls don't judge me for giving this idea I am 16 and just observed the birds and came up with this idea. I just want more information on this topic from u fellow reddit users and tech enthusiasts. Pls enlighten me with ur information if I am wrong by anything and identify all the possible errors . If somebody likes this idea I thank u for reading this ) thank u

Inspired by the World of professional Wrestling, I would love if I could set up my home to play a specific song when I arrive home.

What I have thought of doing is setting up a NFC reader outside the door. It could be activated through someone’s mobile wallet (a card I assign to them through their Apple wallet). Then different songs could play for different people.

That’s as far as I have got though.

What would be the best way to go about this? What other products would I need? How would you improve upon this idea?

I propose an idea for a piece of equipment that many warehouses, factories, or retail stores could adopt and benefit from. The idea is a hydraulic L-cart. It is a type of L-cart that can be jacked up with hydraulics, similar to a pallet jack, except it's just an L-cart, so it doesn't have pallet forks, meaning it is more meant for carrying large, heavy boxes rather than pallets. I propose this idea because I've noticed that transporting large or heavy boxes on L-carts can sometimes be challenging with getting the box on and off the cart. Allowing it to be jacked up could allow it to be aligned with a shelf so that a box could be slid right off and onto the cart without any lifting needed, or slid off the cart and onto a shelf or into the bed of a truck.

I want to create a game "Warshift" meets "Minecraft". I mean an RTS game where player can build its civilization as in Age of Empires, but if he wants he can control each unit as in an RPG and combat in war, combining it with a voxel procedural destructible world, with a fantasy medieval setting with swords and magic and mods and stuff where you can mine and destroy all the world if you want, and players can use this destroying map feature to attack cities from under their cities or whatever... Combining this with a complex 3D tetrahedral magic/faith/tech/nature tree where users can decide if develop their cities as a religious, echologist, magic or technological civilization, and it's civilization can develop in every direction it wants, but with a limit of branches investigated (default limit: 70 branches). Core gameplay'd be the strategy of conquering the enemies, with some exploration and action combat. Our target audience are teens and adults, mainly hardcore gamers. Voxel world (like in Hytale).

But I'd love, that you help me create all the tetrahedral development tree. Considering that if you advance only through the main branch, without touching the alternate branches it would be possible to achieve things that would not be possible in the other branches, for example, in the technological branch weapons could be made that are launched into the battlefield from space or Gundam-style mechas, in the religion branch terraforming abilities of god and blessings could be unlocked, in the case of magic advanced units such as arcane sages capable of using magic to alter space-time could also be unlocked, and in the case of a natural civilization it would be able to discover and ally with species that would not usually relate to civilizations of other types. But you can choose wich branches to develop to get some hybrid civilizations.

Some basic ideas I have for each branch are:
- Tech tree: Stone Age → Copper Age → Bronze Age → Middle Age → Renaissance → Industrial → Atomic → Digital → Space Age → Artificial Singularity
- Magic tree: Ancient Totem Magic → Shamanism → Alchemy → Elemental Mastery (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) → Runic Lore → Enchantment (Item crafting) → Blood Magic → Dimensional Manipulation → Space-Time Alteration → Arcane Ascension
- Faith tree: Tribal Rituals → Animism → Mythology Cults → Divine Pantheons → Miracle Crafting → Holy Empires → God-like Worship Systems → Terraforming via Divine Will (at least 10, we need 2 more in between)
- Nature tree: Survival Instincts → Basic Agriculture → Animal Domestication → Eco-balance Practices → Herbalism → Druidic Wisdom → Symbiotic Alliances → Advanced Bioengineering → Gaia’s Wrath (Natural disasters) → Eldritch Ecosystems (alliance with mythical species)

And each player can choose to develop any development node they want as long as it's available for them, they can choose developing their civs only one tree, 2, 3 or even developing all trees at the same time to create a generalist civilization.

That way airplanes could potentially be way cheaper and airports get more profits

Hello, I hope you're well.

I hope I can make this make sense! 2024 will be the third year at work where I'll have a White Elephant Gift Exchange.

(Skip this paragraph if you already know about White Elephant.) White Elephant is a party game where players exchange wrapped gifts. Players draw numbers to determine who picks a gift first, and then take turns selecting a gift or stealing an unwrapped gift from another player. The game continues until all gifts have been unwrapped.

I am a deal-hunter of sorts and have a knack of getting things for low prices. The gift's suggested amount is $15 to $25. Using $24, I got 15 items that retail for nearly $300. This is just to say that my gifts are highly-coveted by my coworkers, and they try to figure out which is the gift I brought.

I am seeking help in presenting my gift in a creative and fun way.

Examples:

• During the first year - 2022 - I packed my gifts into a plain cardboard, and used a permanent marker to write, "This box is ugly, but it's what's inside that matters. (No guarantees that what's inside isn't also ugly)." People were intrigued, but most people avoided the box.

• During the second year - 2023 - I packed my gifts into 2 separate boxes, and put them on different sides of the area where people dropped off gifts. One box was inside a literal white trash bag, and the other box was unwrapped and labeled as "Ugliest Box." Inside both boxes had a note that said, "(Please read this note out loud) Thank you for taking a chance on the gift with the ugliest exterior. It's what's inside that counts, right? For your courage, you get two gifts: The cardboard box labeled 'Ugliest Box' is also yours!"

Well, now people know what type of box I bring, so I can't do the whole Ugly Box thing anymore. Sure, I can just bring a wrapped gift like everyone else, but I still want to have fun with the presentation in some way.

Another example:

• I hosted White Elephant at my house one year, and I just set out a super small envelope, which fascinated a lot of people, who assumed it was cash or a gift card. Instead, it was a note that said, "Take down the green gift box decoration that is hanging from the right wall." I had decorated my house, and hid my gift in plain sight, so to speak.

I'm not a very creative person, but do try to have fun with these White Elephant games. I'll take any suggestions, even if they aren't fully fleshed out. I'm trying to do something that's inspired by magic or some kind of puzzle, but I'll keep that to myself for now. Thank you very much!

I recently created a metalcore band here in Brazil and I wanted to create a symbol for the band, like the bring me the horizon symbol or nirvana one, but I don't really know what to do. The band's name's Akemy's Promise, It has this name because of my girlfriend's name, which is Akemy, and the Promise is because I once promised her that I'll release a song for her and I found cooler "Akemy's Promise" instead of "A Promise for Akemy", can anyone help me with ideas for the band symbol? If anyone want more informations, ask me in comments.

I’m a student of automation technology, and I had and idea to apply control theory to optimize my personal performance. I treat myself as a system with regulators to help achieve goals, using data from journaling and therapy to create a rule-based system. My regulators act as rules, and my emotions provide feedback.

My main questions are:

1. State Variables: In control theory, state variables represent the system's state. What state variables should I track, including physical markers (heart rate, sleep, food, activity) and emotional states (mood, stress)? For example, how can I track my energy to know when to work or rest?
2. Sampling Frequency: How do I set the right frequency to capture state variables? For instance, if I make a mistake at work, I may feel bad initially but better after an hour. How often should I capture this emotional change?
3. Observer Effect: How can I reduce bias in my data? As an optimist, I might rate experiences more favorably in retrospect. How can I ensure more objective measurements?
4. Emotional Baseline: How can I set an emotional baseline? On bad days, I might rate mistakes worse than on good days. How can I track external factors and normalize emotional responses over time?

If this a interesting idea or total crap ?

When you go to the hospital to take an ultrasound of something (like a medical injury or a baby in the womb), the ultrasound sensor and the display are separate devices. The doctor holds the sensor, and the display is an external monitor.

I think it would be pretty cool if it would be possible to integrate the ultrasound and the display into a single combined device. It would be shaped like a kind of thick blanket with the sensors on the underside and a flexible LED display on the top, so that you essentially "see through" the device to see what's happening inside.

I'm sure there are a lot of engineering reasons why this wouldn't be possible, but thought I would post it somewhere - you never know.

I propose a new calendar system called The Fractional Time Calendar, which consists of 13 months, each containing 28 days, totaling 364 days. To accommodate the extra time, we will introduce a leap day, resulting in a total of 365 days, along with an additional 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45.19 seconds, refining the overall duration to 365.242190 days. As this accumulated leap time occurs, the calendar will reset to January 1st, marking the beginning of a new year. Clocks will be adjusted through the implementation of the "Temporal Alignment Adjustment" when the 13th month is recognised. This adjustment will incorporate the extra seconds, hours, and day into the 28th day of the 13th month. The purpose of the Temporal Alignment Adjustment (TAA) is to replace all current seasonal time changes, thus eliminating the need for Daylight Saving Time and establishing a consistent time standard worldwide.

I think humanity needs something where everything we have discovered and everything we know to be true can be found in one place - a bit like Wikipedia, but on steroids. Every scientific topic/fact, every word definition, every historical event, and perhaps, most importantly at the moment, current events and news. However, for it to go on there, it needs to be peer-reviewed and assessed by multiple people in relevant fields to determine its objective truth. Managed by multiple nations in a coalition - like NATO, for instance, and run by scientists, researchers, professors, historians, etc.

As social media matures and we enter the next quarter of the 21st Century, misinformation and disinformation are proving incredibly dangerous. Right-wing "news" sources have already proved how effective disinformation can be at getting people re-elected. We need something that can tackle this.

It would start slowly as it gets built up, and it would take a while for people to build trust in it and start thinking about it more... but eventually, I hope that DOT becomes something people rely on. If a news article comes out with findings that aren't on DOT yet, you cannot rely on it to be objectively true, until it is on there. Etc.

It could become one of humanity's most important creations. An archive of truth - a modern Library of Alexandria - that must be protected and respected. A beacon of light in the stormy noise of disinformation in modern online life.

On top of like/add button. A Vibe and "unvibe?" Idk what the names would be called but they could act as limited time boost to like songs, genre what ever appearing on the shuffle. Maybe it stacks to. So if you hit vibe like 3 times it becomes more defined.

How to pad the time. Recovering from a motorcycle accident. Both hands are in a cast, clavicle sternum and most of my ribs are broke. Have some broken vertebrae. Can only really walk or sit up for a couple minutes at a time. I go from laying on the couch to laying on a recliner on my back. Can't really use much of my hands I'm not a big TV fan. How can I pass the time what can I do

Imagine a table that had a glass surface, and under the glass was some kind of diorama. Like, for example, a mountain range diorama, with a little village that has yellow LEDs to look like light.

I've been thinking about a way to ship plants that could lower costs and improve the likelihood of plants surviving the journey.

One major issue with buying plants online is keeping them alive and healthy during shipping, which often comes with high shipping costs. To address this, I thought of a solution that would allow for longer shipping times without compromising the plant’s health.

The idea is to include a small LED and battery with the plant, along with a little bit of water. The roots could be kept in a damp medium, not soaked—just enough to maintain moisture and reduce evaporation, but not so much that it encourages fungal growth or adds much weight. The low-power LED would provide minimal light, just enough to keep the plant alive without stimulating growth. Since LEDs are efficient, a small battery could potentially last through the whole shipping period.

To make the process more environmentally friendly, the seller could include a prepaid envelope for returning the LED and battery. This way, customers could send the components back instead of tossing them, reducing waste and making the process more sustainable.

With this setup, there would be no need for express shipping to keep the plant healthy. The cost savings from not requiring priority shipping could cover the expense of the LED, battery, and return postage.

I had help revising the wording, but the idea and the details were all mine. I do not know how effective such an idea would be, so what are your thoughts?

Game Title: "New Worlds"

Genre: Nostalgic Horror, Psychological Thriller, Adventure

Theme: The rise and corruption of MMOs and the eventual shift to other things, showing how once-vibrant online communities have been eroded by corporate greed and toxic behavior.

What’s It About?

"New Worlds" takes you on a surreal and spine-chilling journey through five unique chapters, each inspired by a different type of MMO from the 2000s era. You’ll explore these worlds, initially vibrant and lively, only to watch them degrade and twist into nightmarish reflections of themselves as corporate greed, microtransactions, and toxic communities seep in.

I’m not a game developer – just someone with big ideas, a passion for storytelling, and a love for classic MMOs. I know this is an ambitious solo project, and I’m looking for feedback and maybe even a bit of help from the community. What do you think of "New Worlds"? Would you be interested in contributing your skills or insights to make this vision come to life? Any help, advice, or interest would mean the world (Pun intended)

Would you like to suggest something like that to be remembered when you write a diary? What do you think are the essential elements to include when writing a diary? I’m creating a new diary and would love suggestions on what others find useful for daily entries. For example, I've considered including a note about the weather for each day, as it can be interesting to reflect on. Do you have any ideas or features you think should be remembered when writing a diary?

Help! I (30F) has a partner (30M) who is a HUGE book nerd and our apartment is adorned with books upon books fitting about 16 book shelves, last I counted it could be more now. Problem arises that originally what I was gonna make him (because all I can offer is art) was a wood burned cover for his ps5 but then that got ruined with the pro coming out and us deciding to wait to see if it gets a disk drive. So where I'm going with all this is that now I'm trying to figure out a new gift for him that he'd not just "appreciate the thought" but actually be able to use and love. With 1000+ books he has an app (Libib) that helps him catalog everything cause trying to keep track is near impossible. But there's no way to track where everything is on the shelves and as he aquires more books he shuffles them around to whoever they fit best. Can anyone help me figure out a way or an app or something to be able to track and catalog where all the books are and on what shelves? We have shelves inside and outside the room full of books. I was thinking of a 3D map of the shelves that I can tap and list where each book is with a search bar so all you have to do is type it in and it shows you on a 3D diagram where the book is. Is what I have in mind possible? Or does it already exist? All inquires are very much appreciated!
