There should be a showe where Americans go back to the countries they claim and see how they survive

Italian Americans in Italy, Irish Americans in Ireland, Germans and others!

They have to work, live and be around only those people of that country.

I think it’d be funny seeing a self described Irish American try to interact with Irish people, or even better an Italian American in Italy!!!

Solving the male loneliness epidemic...with polyandry

Like I know it won't fix any deeper stuff but if one lady offers to marry some guys, they'd be part of a family and have a built in friend group or even build their friend group via marriage to this woman by scouting the way men who want many wives want their wives to do for them.

Someone once told me that being in the same place with the same interests is one of the best ways men make friends so...what's more same place and a connection than being married to one person

And it could help lessen the loneliness: They'd have each other and their wife, not be single, and other stuff

Edit: This would not be a mandate or anything, just a choice you can make. And again hypothetically and depending on the parties involved

If someone you know gets blackout drunk, use a fake news website to report on a terrible tragedy, then leave clues around the person to make them think they were responsible for what happened.

Import americans to germany for work

Germany needs workers, urgent. There are a lot of jobs to be done and we can't always invite people from africa or vietnam or stuff.

Americans do need to work, too, and in germany, they don't need to cook meth if they have to go to the hospital, it would be a win win, despite that, americans and germans usually both talk english. So no big deal?

AI customers

A lot of companies are using AI workers, but some are having trouble finding customers. Why not fix that with AI customers?

For a small fee, my company will provide AI customers that will buy your company’s AI goods and services.

AI companies can definitely afford to pay for my AI customers, because they don’t have to pay their AI workers.

Car insurance premiums should decrease as vehicle value decreases

If i buy a new car for 50k and insurance is 200 a month, 3 years later the car is only worth 35k but my 200 a month hasn't decreased, in fact, its prob increased. Shouldn't these values decrease proportionally over time?

What if we all just buy shares in one corporation, and as the majority, voted against all the stuff we didn't like at the meetings? Rinse and repeat.

Palletize airline passengers.

Put airline passengers in pods, and then stack them on pallets. You can fit more people in the plane this way, and boarding/deplaning will go much more smoothly.

For maximum efficiency, you could have the plane fly an extended route, and group passengers by destination. When flying over a destination, open the rear ramp and kick out the appropriate pallets. This way you can service several destinations from a single flight.

Replace people's surnames with "home country-hometown" string

Surnames came from aristocrats, who were often more or less known for their family lineage, while commoners used to lack surnames. "Do you know whose son I am?!" an angry young boy from a noble family might have shouted.

Now commoners have surnames too, but outside of a few rich/famous/powerful families, your surname is not very useful. In other words, we have surnames now, but they are largely non-informative.

IMHO, it would be more helpful if instead of surnames we used a "home country+home city" string. For example, a girl named Misaki, who lives in France's capital city, would be called "Misaki France-Paris". Then you wouldn't be surpised to learn that she can't speak one word of Japanese, but is fluent in French

P.S.

>Dude. My last name is the name of the tiny farm my ancestors had, hundreds of years ago. Lots and lots of people have basically this already, just not the country.

Do you still live on the farm? If no, then your surname would be updated to your current location, as otherwise it is meaningless

>So I have to change my name every time I move ... ?

Every time you change your city or country of permanent residence

>Then I suggest we all get "of" in our names. [Like] Demmy of Karlstad.

Yes, this can work too

Right after building a mansion, release a bunch of chinchillas into the walls to outcompete rats. So you'll still have vermin, but they will be fancy rich people vermin.

Blue should be the girl color and pink should be the boy color

This isn't even really the right sub for this but idk it was the most fitting one I thought of. Also ik the concept of gendered colors is ridiculous, but u kinda just gotta roll w it for this

Anyway, think about it. Blue is beauty like the sky, and it's a color rarely found in nature otherwise cuz divinity and radiance like that is so hard to find, so much so that even a lotta blue that *is* in nature is facetious (iirc a light trick instead of pigment, in short). That relates to women cuz they're beautiful fr. And pink represents the white of the purity of man, stained by the blood of their prey and adversaries
