You Have Been Given 1 Petty Tyrant Wish, what is it?

A genie gives you one wish to completely alter the world and modern society with one big catch it has to be something petty, personal, somewhat irrational, and chosen from something that has caused you incredible frustration despite usually being nothing more than a minor inconvenience. It's something you'd complain about.

Rules:

no big positive stuff like removing capitalism, hierarchy, health insurance, etc. that's too rational and outside the spirit of the exercise.
it will be applied across the entirety of humanity culture going forward.

My answer:

No More Urinals. Get rid of them. A completely useless and unnecessary invention.

No more DRM that stops you from taking screenshots & equivalent. They can otherwise go hog-wild with DRM all they want but my screenshots do not end up as blank rectangles.

no one will stand in the middle of the sidewalk when alternatives exist, without a very good extenuating reason

If they got rid of urinals, the toilets would be more covered in piss than they already are. Instead, I would suggest that people are punished if they piss on anything that isn't the inside of the toilet...

but also yes, remove urinals.

D W the Gutless @dwoboyle2/8/2024, 9:43 PM

My irrational hate partly comes from the frequency I go into a bathroom at work and there's like 15 unused urinals but the one stall is being hogged by the same person for the last three hours.

Epsil Delta @EpsilDelta2/9/2024, 2:03 AM

Oh, I totally get that. I was in the office today, and BOTH of the male toilets were out of order

I'm so torn between "phone companies will start making phones that fit in the hand again" or "websites will stop arbitrarily removing features and updating UI"

noah @noahtheduke2/9/2024, 12:47 PM

Yessss! Phones can’t be bigger than the iphone 4. My ideal

deliberately cutting off someone that lights up a turn signal to change lanes gets your license revoked and also a day in the Punishment Sphere

It's illegal to play Iggy Azalea music in public, even in novelty throwback contexts. I don't care if she hasn't been relevant for the better part of a decade, I don't have the privilege of being able to un-hear that crap

RagingHadron @raginghadron2/9/2024, 7:43 PM

I would create an actively enforced ban on smoking (cigarettes, not meat)

Kotetsu @Kotetsu2/17/2024, 9:38 AM

No more battlepasses. battlepasses are illegal. either that or no more "yes/maybe later" decision boxes.

No no no, the devs are using Windows. The problem is the design team and the PMs not using Windows.

(These opinions are my own, and are not to be taken as an official statement by the Microsoft Corporation)

Arielle @skiscratcher2/8/2024, 8:43 PM

Make the design team and pms use windows. then let the devs use linux when that inevitably fails to fix windows

.... Are you running in this election? Can I vote for you?

Nire Bryce @NireBryce2/8/2024, 7:44 PM

For mayor of these so-called fine United States? Of course, and I couldn't do it without my runningmate, Dr. Edwin T. Breakfast III. This is just a sample of our platform, our main plank is to fix traffic congestion by armoring the busses and making them immune to traffic laws and traffic signals.

"How will you protect cyclists [from the armored, lawless busses]?", our detractors are fast to ask. But we've already thought that through. Sharrows will give bicycles and scooters speed boosts, like in Mario Kart, and there will be jumps at every intersection.

"How will we fund it?" one may ask. See, That's the thing -- its already built into the plan. We repurpose the red light cameras to record the sick stunts on those jumps, and monetize it through YouTube.
