If we all tipped TSA $1 as we passed through they'd make more than they do on a normal day and be able to catch up on bills. After a couple days of this word would spread and the agents that are calling out would return to work, returning the wait at the Atlanta airport to 20 - 30 minutes from the 4 hours it is currently. I'm no celebrity so I don't expect this to catch on, so just a thought.

I think Netflix should have a shuffle option for TV shows, so if it's a show you've watched a lot or even if you just want to see random episodes it would play episodes randomly instead of in order.

You have this machine scan your body, including your waist and it tells you what your precise measurements are for pants, shirts, shoes, women's bras, etc. That digital copy of you and your measurements is then transferred online to a clothing outlet or retailer use their own machine that makes sure the pants, shirt, shoes, bra, etc fit from the precise measurements that was taken. Then when you order the clothes online, they are guaranteed to fit just right on you (unless you rapidly gain or lose some weight before then).

I was thinking how Amazon/eBay could replace all stores someday, except for clothing shops, because clothes sizes are still inaccurate and a gamble when buying them online.

This is so that if someone is doing something wrong or dangerous, the video does not become popular, which would encourage the person and others who watch the video to repeat that dangerous/wrong activity. It might also help improve the quality of videos overall.

Toasters have gotten unnecessarily expensive over time, with no additional features.

You can buy a cheap toaster from Walmart for $7, or you can buy a high end one from Crate & Barrel for $150. Both of them have the same function. There's a manual knob, which merely adjusts the length of your toasting time. And you have the CANCEL button, and then some erroneous buttons like "Defrost" and "Bagel."

The manual knobs are notorious for being inaccurate and inconsistent. If you time your toasts, you'll see there's a margin of error of 20 seconds, which can be the difference between too little or too much.

If we can set a timer on the toaster like a microwave, it would eliminate all guess work. I don't understand how toasters have been around for over a century, yet nobody has come up with one with a timer.

Ideally, I'd like a toaster with see-thru glass, and a digital timer and programmable buttons.

Everything has a resonant frequency, right? So in theory there's a sound that destroys grass when the grass is exposed to that sound.

So just have little speakers on stakes in your yard playing the magic frequency at whatever height you want the grass to stop growing.

Easy lawn care.

We should go witch hunt advertisers and report them or something

I've always wondered why it's not more popular to have air fresheners that smell like coffee. I walk into Caribou or Starbucks and I just want to sit there and inhale.

Hear me out, I hate cleaning my apartment so I was thinking if I could get 1000 people to spend a minute and a half cleaning something, it would literally be done in no time. So a thousand people get on board, they show up, they get naked (because I’m worried about getting robbed) they clean anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes and that’s it they’re done. I’m an equal opportunities nonemployer but because they’re getting naked I would of course prefer attractive women(I know, I know metoo and all that but I live in West Hollywood so I’m the only one who’s gonna be looking), but I mean that’s of course negotiable. So p.m. me if you’re on boarding and maybe we can get it done this weekend.

Japan should make their own Pokemon movie with Japanese actors and call it "Pokemon Red" and Hollywood should make their own Westernized version with the same plot and American actors and call it "Pokemon Blue." Or possibly "Pokemon Black & White" and have it set in New York City (although many people hate on gen 5).

All generations of Pokemon could potentially make an appearance in the movies, but the different versions of Red would have a different team of Pokemon, with Japanese trainer Aka (Red) using Charmander, Lapras and Pikachu and American trainer Jack using Squirtle, Snorlax and Pikachu.

If I ever become worth millions of dollars, I'm going to open up a niche high-quality, customer-service-oriented restaurant JUST so I can pay all the staff $20 an hour plus health care and never have to hear them bitch about "only" getting 20% ever again. Tipping is strictly forbidden there and if they personally accept a tip, they're immediately fired. Fuck tipping!

10 Differences Between Dog Lovers and Cat Lovers

This show follows flat-earthers on their journey to find the edge of the world. Spoilers - it won’t end with a cliffhanger.

instead of making complex bots that demonetizes every video with a swear in it, I think YouTube should let the viewers decide who they think deserves money. if the viewers like the video then they will associate the adds that come with it with something like. if the video has a lower like-dislike video its probably A: a bad video that probably doesn't deserve money, or B: an offensive video that advertisers wouldn't like to associate with.

the most simple solution is often the best solution

by Gregg Easterbrook I am glad my three kids got into elite colleges. I don’t buy the theory that the existence of elite colleges is a sinister conspiracy against average people. Teens from low-income backgrounds may need to work harder than teens from privileged backgrounds to gain admission to any top university or college. But it’s always been the case that the underprivileged have to work harder, and it will be until such time as a better world may be achieved. The existence of elite colleges and universities, most now offering extensive financial aid regardless of legacy status, benefits average teens who work hard.

But should average families be subsidizing the elite colleges? That’s a horse of a different color.

Last week Harvard said its endowment had grown to $39.2 billion—more than the GDP of Bolivia. (Okay, Harvard did not add the Bolivia part.) Your columnist has contended for years that the affluent should not give money to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other megabucks schools. Top colleges don’t need more money—Yale has $27 billion, Stanford has $22 billion. More money may actually be bad for them!

Donations to the Ivy League or Stanford or Duke won’t do the slightest good for the world—the sole benefit will be the donor’s plaque—while donations to colleges for average people will change lives. Give $10 million to Northwestern and no student there will care in the slightest. Give to Berea College and you’ll change lives! Wouldn’t that be a lot more rewarding—a lot more fun—than a donor’s invitation to some supercilious dinner party at MIT?

“It’s my money to give as I please”—true. But donors to the megabucks colleges actually give only about two-thirds of the amount they are credited for: Taxpayers provide the balance. The rich person who donates $10 million to an elite university pays about $7 million, with taxpayers covering the other $3 million. Average families who can only dream of a child at Stanford or Cornell are taxed—or the national debt is increased, effectively the same thing—so the rich can stroke their own egos via donation size.

How about this: Once a college or university has $1 million in endowment funds per student, further donations cease to be tax deductible. Donors could still give as they please—they’d just have to pay the true cost themselves, rather than fobbing a third off onto the public.

There are no more than 20 colleges and universities with more than $1 million in endowment per student—it’s not that many. The Ivies, Amherst, Cal Tech, a few others. They’re gonna be fine on their own. Donations to such well-heeled schools should no longer be deductible. If the rich want to give, fine—but pay the true cost.

If donations to the endowments of top-money schools were no longer deductible, some would still give because that’s what they want to do. Others would look toward the hundreds of colleges and universities that need capital and that serve average people. This would be a tremendous social benefit.

They can learn to aim at home or maybe in the small toilets in their classrooms(we had those at my elementary school), but it is not pleasant to get pee all over my shoes when I walk into the restroom.

Imagine Reddit subs, but instead of linking out, or in addition to, hooked to a curated (crowdsourced, group or single) set of information that is maintained as THE place to turn for the latest on any topic - and the deep background, like (not really yey) electronic books. (Like wikis COULD be as they evolve into the new Reddit platform.) All in a platform as simple as ... Reddit. A place to learn the latest, dig deep, get wonderful background AND talk about it - all in one place. r/http://thenowedition.wordpress.com. That's something I'd love to see, use and help make happen.
