When you are in a political position you are not allowed to lie.

We have to develop the technology to perfectly detect lies and give everyone who wants to be in office a collar which gives them seizures when lying.

Every Parlament around the world would look like a Harlem shake gone wrong.

Eh... where? This seems like a very location-specific question.

SkaveRat ,

if no location is given, assume an american asked the question without realizing there’s more to the world

No just answer for your location or name global/international examples.

Masturbating on a plane.

Willy ,

I assume you mean while on a plane and not onto a plane. Also assuming you mean while on a public plane. Pretty sure masturbating while in public might be a bit illegal at least for dudes, and for anyone whipping it out to get off wouldn’t the exposing ones genitals in public just top it off?

Lies and exaggerated advertising.

No, it’s not “best in the world” or “lightning fast”, it’s an entry level $200 GPU!

No, it doesn’t have “crystal clear high-res screen”, it’s just a budget phone!

No, that tampon will not change my lifestyle!

No, that perfume will not make guys drooling over me!

I’m ok with “it’s decent quality with an affordable price”.

I’m ok with “it’s the best budget-friendly option”.

I’m ok with “it’s not the best in the world, but it’s definitely worth a try”.

I personally think the “how good is it” part of “advertising” should literally just be a percentage value of “how many existing customers say it was worth it”.

But even that would get gamed the way 5/5 amazon reviews can be bought today already.

So maybe it should really just be “it’s a insert thing made out of insert material produced in insert country by insert labour conditions and it costs insert price”.

Private cars in cities.
They’re noisy, unhealthy, cause massive damage to infrastructure, transport one person at a time while taking up enough space for ~10 in the road, fill open spaces for parking, sometimes while being completely unusable, endanger everyone else on the roads…

Guns

stoy ,

They shouldn’t be illegal, but heavily regulated.

I mean, hunting and harvesting meat is far more ethical to the normal meat industry.

breadsmasher ,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. Every hunter is ethical and will absolutely nail every shot to make sure the animal doesn’t suffer and die a slow death. A hunter missing the killshot and instead wounding the animal? Never happens.

/s

stoy ,

Of course it happens, but for the absolute majority of it’s life, even a wounded animal has lived a life in freedom and nature, a proper hunter would absolutely track and deal with a wounded animal to reduce suffering and preserve the meat.

Most people in countries where guns are regulated would not get access to a gun for hunting, mind you. Unless your job is to be a forester, which over here includes selectively shooting animations to balance populations if something goes out of balance.

“I want to get my own deer meat from the forest” is not a valid reason to get a gun. Or even a bow!

stoy ,

I like the theory of gun laws in Sweden.

You can only get a gun if you are actively in need of one, there are only two legal way to be in need of one, hunting and competition.

You need to get a hunting license from a school, join a hunting society and be an active member to get a permit for gun, or you need to actively compete in a shooting club to get a competition permit. You also need to demonstrate competence and skill before you get a permit regardless of if you are a hunter or a competitor.

Getting a gun for personal safety is not permitted, and to be frank, it isn’t really needed here, we have few dangerous animals, and despite the rise of gang violence, Sweden is still a safe country.

Ziggurat ,

Already illegal (without proper licence) in most first world countries. Or at least not as unregulated as as in Murica

Small print, excessive legalese and outright deceptive language in ads, agreements and such. All the “free” (not really free) trials, “unlimited” (not really unlimited) plans, “best value” (according to the producer and their mum) deals and shit like that.

There really should be a law prohibiting that - if reading through terms and conditions for using a damn website or a toothbrush or whatever requires 4 hours of free time, a magnifyibg glass and degree in law, such t&cs should be illegal. Same for disclaimers and such in ads - any 4pt text displayed for 2 seconds on screen should automatically result in a massive fine.

Everyone not having access to a 1-bedroom apartment or living space that is all theirs and affordable. So much crime is because people are forced to live with others they shouldn’t be around and can’t get along with in a shared living space.

Additionally, so many people are driven by the fear of homelessness so they just suck it up to their detriment until they snap and go really nuts and end up with shelter either way

Are you saying what should be legal but isnt?
