they should also include a grocery store, unless the main business is a grocery store.

How they get it done is at their discretion. This ends now.

Think about it. The year now goes July through December, then it’s a new year.

\-New Years day is now July 1st

\-most of the good holidays now happen every 6 months (4th of July, Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s Thanksgiving, Football season, etc)

\-those with birthdays in the abolished months can just pick a new birthday.

\-your age increases faster, sure, but we can just adjust accordingly. You can now only drink at age 40 (would be 42, 21 x 2, but we will just use 40 bc it’s a round number). Full adult 36. This will help our younger people now who just started getting older every 6 months. More time to get that childhood. We can iron out any details if we need.

\-old age isnt scary as much anymore. Now living to 100 seems very reasonable. Older people now have many years left.

\-40 is the new 20. Being 40 now is quite young. Average life expectancy now is 150-160. Look at how much life you have to live.

Yeah. I see no downsides to any of this. Whatever Im forgetting can easily be fixed.

A year is now 6 months. The earth goes around the sun every 2 years now.

Escalators with seats and desks in place of steps. Enable you to keep working during the commute.

Ok so earbuds are pretty popular, you could say. So what if a slightly more openly malevolent multinational corporation than we're used to dealing with started aggressively marketing these new ear buds that make you feel sick?

Everybody would want them because they'd have been programmed to want them by the billion dollar advertising campaign this corporation runs. Worked with iPhones (nobody is born wanting an iPhone, now there are 200 trillion in circulation).

Anyway that's not important for the idea. The idea is: everyone wants earbuds, so they start buying these ones. And as soon as you pop them in, they make you feel sick. So sick you can't think straight. You're dizzy, and you're going to puke (but you don't). At the same time, your brainwaves are being all fucked with so you'd never suspect it's the ear buds making you feel sick, and in fact all you want to do is have these ear buds in your ears all the time because the earbuds are making your brain want to do that, which means you want to do that too, and so you do.

Because of reasons that I can't get into because it got my previous version of this post auto-modded, I was thinking we should have a new version of Stargate. The base commander is Michael Scott, Jim halpert is colonel O'Neil, Pam is captain Carter, Dwight is Daniel Jackson, and tielc is still tielc but just incredibly confused, thinking the insanity around him is supposed to be normal, and that there's just something he needs to figure out about the culture. The video documentary segments are mission debriefings. I should add, I dont mean we should have the exact same actors/characters, but that they should fill the same roles on the show

Extra headcanon because I'm way too caffeinated and getting invested in the lore: the Michael Scott character is the son of a sen@tor who is too connected to fire but too incompetent to be given real work so the military gave him what they thought was a fake research project based on dwights crackpot theory over this random Egyptian artifact. Dwight is obsessed with Michael Scott because he's the only person who doesn't treat dwight like an insane person. Mostly because Michael is too incompetent to realize Dwights theory is insane. Then, the Stargate actually works and Michael becomes dwights personal hero, and the military can't replace Michael without pissing off his dad. So now he's running the base and the goauld think he's some tactical genius because the batshit insanity is somehow working. (Mostly because of Jim and pam constantly fixing everything)
