Metric system, right-hand traffic, ISO 8601, high taxes on the rich, someone’s power being used as a multiplier in punishment.
I would like to add free/accessible healthcare for all
I like the Scandinavian system of fines for breaking the law. They’re scaled based on your annual income so a speeding ticket isn’t just a fee for the wealthy.
AFAIK, of the Scandinavian countries it’s only Finland that has that system.

Don’t forget ISO216 for paper size. It does not make sense that the US is still using “letter” and “legal” paper size.
Why does it matter, just print stuff, supply the correct paper or material for your project, then move on.
We need one more rule: can’t defend cluster fuck murican paper sizes

- All software that is to be used on the public should be Free and Open Sourced in a GPL style license.
- No death penalty
above two violations are punishable by death!
If you’re condemned with death penalty you’re already dead, so they can’t kill you for that duuuh
Modern problems require modern solutions
All software that is to be used [in] the public should be Free and [Open-Source]
Add in a GPL viral license so that anything funded by the Public is open-source. And so it anything it makes. And so is anything that makes, etc.

Also, I would enforce every online shop, transport company, hotels… All of these functioning under a federated market, sort of like the fediverse. Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize. True choice.

Semantic versioning.
Most of the time. I use calendar versioning (calver) for my internal application releases because I work in IT. When the release happens is more consequential than breaking changes. And because it’s IT, changes that break something somewhere are incredibly frequent, so we would constantly be releasing “major” versions that aren’t really major versions at all.
OpenDocument.
Agreed compared to .doc and .docx. And if you’re going to version control it, markdown instead of a binary blob.
For academic documents in STEM fields, I’d love to see a transition from LaTeX to Typst. Much cleaner, better error handling, and it has a web UI if people don’t want to install a massive runtime on their own computer.
XDG Base Directory.
Defined by an env variable? How asinine!
all media and advertising shall have the same loudness
I’m not an audio engineer, but this might be hard to execute.
Hard to execute
Nice, I see what you did there.
We already have standards for media, we would just have to enforce them more rigorously.
I think the capital punishment would be enforcement enough; don’t you?
Kill the violators of the standard, resuscitate them and kill them again!
Talking with your phone on speaker in public. Off with your head!
Talking on your phone like it’s a pizza slice; defeating the design, needing to then shout AND raise the volume, and generally looking like a moron on a reality TV show.
Whenever I see someone doing that I can’t help but question their sanity
Tailgating. It’s gonna kill you eventually so let’s streamline the process.
Also fuck you, especially when I’m in a god damned exit lane.
So you would standardize tailgating so that everyone has to do it?
That seems like the opposite of what he wrote.
They’re being pedantic about how the original question was worded in a gotcha attempt. Not worthy of a response.
Standardize? I mean can we just get America on the metric system?
If all punishment is capital punishment, then I’d keep it as laissez-faire as possible.
Except for “no parking in the bike lane”. That one’s worth.
That one’s worth.
You a word.
Alright, “That one is worth.”
Housing for everyone.
Recipes in concrete metric units, preferably mass instead of volume. Recipes come together incredibly quickly when measuring out ingredients can just be dump-tare-dump-tare-dump instead of trying to get sticky ingredients like tahini out of a measuring cup.
More torx screws. There are apparently some uses for phillips, but torx are criminally underused.
That’s a good one. I feel like either torx or square drives should be chosen and all consumer facing screws should be one of, say, 10 sizes.
And you can apply for a permit to use other sizes, but even that is gonna cost you like a couple days in jail.
I would add that all recipes must use the common professional standard format with ingredients and their amount at the top, preferably alongside the required equipment followed by the estimated prep time and cook time followed by the consecutive step-by-step listed instructions.
My brother was getting one of meal subscriptions akin to Blue Apron and there was never any rhyme or reason to the format, content, or layout of the included recipe instructions. -An egregious oversight.
I also have heard that when torx heads become stripped they turn into hex heads. I’ve never investigated this claim, though.
I would outlaw starting work before 12pm. I’m 30 and I still absolutely hate mornings just as much as I did when I was 10. I’m naturally a night person but working graveyards has more problems than dealing with early mornings IMO. Let all the morning people feel the pain of having to be productive during your least productive hours for a change.
you sick bastard
Education.
“We regret to inform you little Timmy didn’t pass his final secondary-school exam because he couldn’t count back change from a transaction. We will send his ashes as soon as they’re ready.”
Nothing. I’m against the death penalty
So, “no more death penalty”? Punishable by death of course.
I am the ultimate vermin, so… Mandatory tooth brushing, and ponies for all.
Finally, I feel like I’ve scrolling for days to find this oasis.
All hail @wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works The First of His Name, the Undomesticated People Mover, Giver of Ponies
I would be a terrifying and bloodthirsty Supreme Leader for sure… 😏
That is why we should prevent human beings from holding too much power.
