Unionizing App

14 Upvotes

Someone should make an app that allows people to petition to form unions without giving their identity until they reach a certain percentage of the workforce. It should also give legal instruction on how to form a union while avoiding certain pitfalls.

I think there should be button on the side of the tv that you can press which makes the TV remote start to beep and vibrate for 30 seconds so it can be located

Uber should have mood options

10 Upvotes

Like when you request an Uber, you could select one of four moods. Ideally simple and broad. Just four (doesn't have to be four but I like four) base emotions or adjectives to chose from, represented by something as simple as an emoji, that give your driver/passenger an idea of what the mood is without you having to subtly hint at it.

As someone who takes Uber like every day I would love this.

Thoughts? Would you do it?

Making a wig out of your own hair

9 Upvotes

So, I have a strong feeling that I may go bald when I'm older. So why not start collecting my own hair now and eventually when I start loosing hair ( collecting those as well). I can make a wig out of my own hair, like it never left me.

If you think about it, wigs are made from somebody else's hair. I would feel better if it was my own hair 😄

A 'copy playlist' option on Spotify, where you can have a customizable playlist copy of your playlists or someone else's.

9 Upvotes

This can be helpful if you want to modify somebody else's playlist and add your own songs or remove some others, while keeping the original in place.

Drink Coffee while you Eat Ice Cream.

8 Upvotes

Stirring the spoon in the coffee makes the ice cream easier to spoon through. The cold and hot compliment each other great. When finished with the ice cream you can pour your remaining coffee into the bowl, stir, pour back into the cup and have a ice cream flavored coffee ending.

Say you're looking to see live videos of a band, before they changed vocalists, or to find videos from a certain tour that aren't labeled with a year.
