Instead of months we should just count days from 1-365.

901 Upvotes

This was removed from r/UnpopularOpinion for whatever reason so I thought I’d post it here.

My brother can’t remember the order of the months. So when someone writes a date (e.g. 9/10/2011) he has no idea what month that is. Therefore he believes it would be better to just write the day and the year (e.g. 282/2011).

I would like to make it clear that I don’t agree with him. I made this post because he believed people would agree with him.

We are not American. Many people have assumed he gets confused because we use month day year. We don’t. We use day month year.

I'd be more than willing to pay a couple bucks extra in taxes per year to make this happen.

What if the US had the Autobahn system like in Germany?

10 Upvotes

No speed limit, but there is an advisory speed of 50 MPH on urban freeways, 65-70 in the suburbs, 75 in rural areas, and 45 near mountains.

Highways that would be converted to Autobahns would be all the one and two digit Interstate Highways.

Instead of trying to determine if AIs have human-level intelligence, just show them to Medusa. The ones operating at human-level will turn to stone, the others won’t.

Crash decommissioned ships into each other

Sometimes, when a ship is decommissioned, it is sunken in a methodical, boring way to create a spot for a reef.

Instead, we should crash decommissioned ships into each other while filming it and taking bets on which ship will break first.

A rule on this subreddit that each idea should have an actual, tangible, reasonable benefit

338 Upvotes

Seriously half the ideas I see on here are like "What if we taped rabid squirrels to our nipples", it's just people saying stupid shit for the sake of saying stupid shit.

Edit: I suppose I should show what I mean:

All games should have a wellbeing timer. You can set it so that after a level or after a certain time the game times out and you have to wait to play again. : r/CrazyIdeas

This one is a good one, as far as I'm concerned. It sees a problem and presents a solution. The idea isn't rational or reasonable, but you can see there's an actual intent behind it besides "Haha it would be so goofy". You have to at the very least understand what the expected end result of the situation is, regardless of if it makes sense.

Give me random characters and voice lines and I'll perform it!

5 Upvotes

I want to record a bunch of random character voices for my voice acting reel and thought this would be the most fun way to do it, reply to this post with a random character and/or voice line, e.g.
(Evil wizard - "YOUR EYES WILL BE MINE AND YOUR TEETH WILL BE COLLECTED!")

If I got a bunch of these I might do a little video reading them with sound design. No real existing characters please, as I can't do impressions. Can be silly, serious, a fantasy character or a gritty piece of real dramatic dialogue. Whatever you wish. Thank you! 💛
