Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration?
Grocery stores should have food banks
Instead of the perfectly-fine “expired” food going to the dumpster, feed people. Help the community.
I feel like we're all stuck in a movie where all the rich people live on some kind of floating island or satellite with everything they need to live well, and all of us have zero chance of going there
I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
Wood smells like we should be able to eat it, but we can't.

The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't.
Shower thoughts are wasting water.
My city is in the middle of the worst drought in recorded history. My showers are typically under 2 minutes and I have to shower with a bucket to catch otherwise wasted water to use to flush the toilet.

With lab grown meat we could see the advent of ethical cannibalism.
It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are.
Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

Dissing car brands is console wars for boomers
Things like “Fiat stands for “Fix It Again Tony”” etc.
I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets
I seriously couldn’t live without cargo pants. At any given time, I’ll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?
Now that it is getting legalized everywhere, Cannabis should fall under the jurisdiction of the ATF rather than the DEA.
And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout “This is a F.A.C.T. jack”! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
