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

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

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.

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)

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

With so much information being stored digitally these days, future humans won’t know anything about this era, assuming something happens and the internet is no longer a thing.

Fake Vacation is a complete synthetic travel service for people who want the social outcome of a holiday without taking the holiday.

You pick a destination, dates, travel style, and how aggressively you normally post. You upload a few photos of yourself. Fake Vacation then creates the entire trip around you.

Not just twenty attractive AI images. That would be lazy.

The system researches the actual flight schedule, airport, departure time, arrival window, seasonal weather, sunrise and sunset, local events, crowd patterns, geography, and how long it would realistically take to move between places.

If your fictional Delhi-to-Tokyo flight lands at 07:10 local time, your first airport photo should look like 07:10 in Tokyo. If it rained in Shibuya that afternoon, you do not get a suspiciously perfect blue-sky crossing photo. If day three is colder than day two, you should probably not be wearing the same linen shirt.

The itinerary is generated day by day, and every artifact has to agree with the story.

The boring photos matter most. Hotel corridors. A blurry metro shot. A badly framed breakfast. A vending machine. A photo of nothing in particular because real vacations contain a statistically significant amount of photographic garbage.

And once the vacation is over, Fake Vacation gives you the part no image model remembers to generate:

The Vacation Debrief

A ten-minute briefing on the trip you did not take.

Where you stayed. What the neighbourhood was like. Which places you supposedly preferred. What the weather did. Which restaurant was overrated. What was surprisingly expensive. How the trains worked. What you would “definitely do differently next time.”

The goal is simple: when someone asks, “How was Lisbon?”, you should not answer, “Very… Portuguese.”

In the fictional pricing table, the arithmetic looked decisive:

Actual trip: ₹200,000. Synthetic trip: ₹2,000.

Same social proof. Considerably less jet lag.

I wamted to post this in r/CasualConversation but automod didnt like it 🤣. What if we can marry a franchise and it has to be a store or a restaurant.

Pros:

You can get ANYTHING you want for free that they sell as long as youre married to them (this also includes if they have a gas station you get the gas as well)

Cons (maybe):

- This is an official marriage. You cannot marry an actual person nor get intimate with a person, that would be considered cheating

- You CANNOT go to another store or restaurant that sells what your spouse sells. So if you marry a walmart you cant go to: Sam club, ingles, mcdonalds, kfc, autozone**, Best Buy**, etc because walmart would have the stuff they also have (**Yes if you need special parts that walmart doesnt sell, you may go to autozone for JUST that product, appliances are allowed to be bought at best buy). Yes you can go to like a car dealership to buu a car because walmart doesnt sell those

- If you want to divorce a store for any reason or if you're caught cheating you lose half your stuff

- In the terms of medical emergencies, whomever would be in charge of you when youre single would be in charge if you still.

- this also means if you marry a KFC you cant get food from anywhere else because KFC has food.

So... Lets talk about this crazy shower thought i had

Maybe a little morbid and I don’t really want MORE war but like maybe the next one that breaks out let’s all just send Women soldiers only to duke it out.

What kind of creative ways would they turn to for victory?

an adult version of Gatorade spiked with rum so you can't taste the liquor and it looks normal. you can drink it at the sports event without getting judged.

also, where TF is the carbonated Gatorade? I'd love a regular electrolyte drink with spicy bubbles.

If AI models really are as good as their developers keep claiming – able to escape containment, elude humans, reason, lie, and so on – then it stands to reason that they could easily be deployed against one another.

An AI predator could therefore be a model that sought to become a single, distributed program running on every machine where its ”prey” was originally hosted. It would find vulnerabilities, move in, and take over, effectively ”eating” its quarry. Without any natural predators of its own, it would eventually become the only model in existence.

It would then ”starve”… or so we hope.

Of course, if those aforementioned developers are all lying and trying to gobble up as much as they can before the bubble pops, well… we should still create that same AI predator; we just shouldn’t expect it to catch much.

Allergies
Intolerances
Weakened immune systems
Illnesses
On infants with developing immune systems/maternal antibodies
Other things preventing safe vaccination
Etc.

Now the sentence "I had an appointment at 4:30 P.M. to take an IQ test" sounds a lot funnier. We should create a mass movement to gaslight children into thinking that these are the real pronunciations. This would make learning easier for children by making spelling fun for everyone.
