I'm excited to say that I actually did call my student loan provider because I overpaid by $13... They wouldn't pay on the interest though.

I've always said that the ruler of any country should live as the average person they rule does. Ignoring the top and bottom 1% maybe.
Crowlands
that should lead to Presidents and Prime Ministers who want to actually improve the people's quality of life. Hopefully.

Also where would you expect to buy things, and if you can't give them money how?
Jetison333
Also I'm sure most of them get a source of income too. Plus, I bet they have a lot of money invested in things

Okay, I totally had to read the sex offender one twice. I understood it as it plays music the close you are to BECOMING a sex offender.

That would be a great app too. But it would need a supernatural phone to run it. One that reads your mind and analyzes the situation.

Afterwards you could switch to the other app and it'd just blare the JAWS theme at full volume like it was your personal theme song.

Pregnancy test app? Challenge accepted.

acording to my facebook wall,some girls already pee on their phones from time to time
MyLightBulbJustBurnedOut
Why do we even need an app? I'm peeing on my phone right now, and I'm a guy.
Hammettt
I think it was already done but you need to plug something into your phone
Misora
Not sure about plug in but they're honest to god started making tests with built in blue tooth so they send you the results on your phone.

Nah we don't want one that works, we just want dumb bitches to piss on their phone for no reason at all

If Google forced the metric system America would move over completely in less than a year. The government and schools are too dumb to do it.
Ecchinacea
Google already flexed their muscles to force Google Plus. How well did that turn out?
thecyprus
The U.S. puts too high of value on tradition. We're scared of change.
Neekrhael
The real resistance to the conversion is the manufacturing industry. They'd have to replace billions of dollars of assets.
TheGrayLanternsApathy
If Google forced the metric system America would use Yahoo or Bing.

Shens. I already use Bing. (it gets better porn results)

Nobby76
The idea about making rich people live on almost no money has been done before. They took a group of 20-ish girls from rich families...
Nobby76
And made them live on a housing estate and get jobs which only paid minimum wage.. They had to do it for about a month if i remember right.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
The world is already pretty unified on the metric system. Only three countries stay behind: the USA, Liberia and Burma.
bluegargoyle
Wow really? Cause you never really think of those other two as having their shit together.

The billionaire one has actually been tried before. Turns out the rich get worse at long-term budgeting and better at short-term, but (1/2)
tiure
to be clear, poor people are focused on day-to-day expenses. this is why mobility seems impossible to many, but easy to those with $$ & time
tiure
poor people just don't have the resources necessary to consider long term expenses and make informed choices. This is why they don't save;
tiure
it's not that they don't have any money to save, it's that they don't have the time, know-how, or energy to plan out their savings.
tiure
they do fare better than the actual poor. Education, habits, discipline and business sense are things not everyone has time to develop (2/2)

Cthulhu for 2016, why choose the lesser of two evils?

Because Cthulhu would probably seal the fate of the whole world, not just the USA. Don't drag us into this!

This sort of exists if you just spoil your ballot, but I'm not sure how you would do that since I'm pretty sure US elections are electronic
sasha01198
idk how much it would matter bc as far as I know spoiled ballots aren't legally interpreted as an indicator of not liking the candidates.
pgdave
That would just allow the people who didn't fuck up their votes to decide the President.
KingOfTheAnarchists
Yeah, I've been thinking these days "Y'know what would be great? Just a whole 'nother election cycle. More primaries, more debates..." ugh

Look on Google Trends. Huge spike in mid 2015, that means this is a repost or OP stole idea from somewhere else.

Spike was from November 2014, 100 searches.

It's really cute when people think the entire USA (and it's 6.5 million kilometers of roads, for example) could switch to metric easily.
Ecchinacea
More importantly, we don't want to.
Flyndaran
The larger the infrastructure the more expensive it is to alter.
JohnnyTitelips
Fun fact: it's actually been in the process of gradual transition for awhile. That's why pop comes in liters most of the time now.
IJustLikeToArgue
Or want to.
DidItForScience
What's cute is that the world unified on the metric system long ago. And Google Maps uses it too. Only the US and Liberia don't use it.
IWillBeProctoringTheImgur
In our defense, Librarians are generally pretty smart.
GavinScreaming
Don't the British use miles? I know they say it a shitton on Top Gear
Dondarian
I tried explaining this to an ex, she told me that me liking the Metric system instead of Imperial system was insulting to America... ok.
DidItForScience
I believe most of the world honors the Imperial system by drinking pints of beer.
Dondarian
Damn. Solid point.
RabiesMcTavish
In the UK we still use miles on our road signs. Pretty sure it's just to confuse the continental Europeans.
Kaysmira
Because we're totally going to replace like 5 billion mile markers along our freeways, 10 per mile in New York. We can't even fix potholes.
edissick
We don't really think that. We just like to make fun of you. Because you dumb
thestorkasaurus
There's not a ton of reason to switch roads; it's not that useful to break up miles. Other everyday units would be far more useful.
AlCoolAJ
Except that Canada did it in the late 70s around the same time the US tried to. We don't have as many roads, but have more in harsh climates
pgdave
What was the relative population and economy?
AlexVonT
just like when the British switched to metric and collapsed into economic ruin. ah yes. the dark times of never.
peteyboo
I think you missed either the part about the many many roads we have, or the part where the UK is much smaller than the US.
Blarjgrhgajhfjdfldghuihfb
Also the part where we (the UK) didn't quite switch to metric. Road signs are still in miles, people measure their height in feet etc.
DankS0uls
Some of these are good, some are fucking retarded.

I actually like the 'slightly different shade of shirt' idea......
Hendlton
If I knew where to find 365 shirts that are just a bit different, I'd do it.
sinisukka
buy 365 plain white shirts and dye them yourself.
Hendlton
Where do you buy paint that paints exactly one shirt? Either way, that would be way more expensive than 365 dyed shirts.
Hendlton
*than buying 365 already colored shirts, sorry.
Kaysmira
I'd love to see Donald Trump trying to live on minimum wage. Make him work as a burger flipper while we're at it.
NotoriousDoubleDipper
Make Donald Trump great (missing: again)!
ets57
I flip burgers. I'm the best at flipping burgers. You're going to love how I flip burgers.
pgdave
It wouldn't work though, because billionaires still have contacts, good education, etc.
Hendlton
He could have all the contacts in the world and the best education money can buy but none of it matters if he's getting minimum wage.
pgdave
Except for getting people to let him stay with them closer to where he's working, having them sell him things cheaply, etc.
Hendlton
Oh, I thought he'd get a standard home, a minimum wage and he couldn't cheat by getting cheap food or something from somewhere.
