By law you have to choose whether to wash your sheets every day or once a month.
Children to be given classes in identifying naice ham and on producing a tinkly laugh.
No weddings allowed unless in a dark room with nobody watching.

All existing pet cats and dogs are to wear nappies and never ever to be taken out where humans might want to be.

No pets at all in future. None. They are repsonsible for global warming!

Bottoms will be wiped in one direction; toilet bowls will be cleaned with a toilet brush; front doors will aways be locked; you will never visit anyone without their prior agreement, in triplicate; nobody will ever be nasty, they will always have a mental health issue that means they cannot be held responsible; towels and bed sheets will be washed and line dried every day - no night time drying allowed;

And many more...

Spiders would be eradicated from the entire country, along with all other creepy crawlies and mini beasts who are deemed too ugly or annoying to exist.

Compulsory gruel for breakfast.

Only water to drink.

Absolutely every item in the house to be cleaned and disinfected every day (including pets and kids).

Everybody to be able to read everybody else's minds.

No speaking to strangers, neighbours, dogs, cats or relatives for any reason whatsoever at all times.

A nice foreign holiday every year.

As much separation between humans and the natural world as possible.

Every child to be gifted and reading Dostoyevsky at six months old.

Everyone has to walk everywhere and only use the central heating on Christmas Day between the hours of 14:00hrs and 20:00hrs when more gruel must be eaten, a cold bath taken and bed at 20:30hrs.

Abusive men to be tried before a jury of 12 women and if found guilty - hung drawn and quartered.

All work 'Karens' to recieve same treatment for bullying.

...actually, I'm cool with that.

No small talk.
No random chats.
Everything has to be meaningful but naice.

All fat people are greedy and lazy. Actually anyone who has more than half a grapefruit is greedy.

If you are not eating half a grapefruit, you must eat cold foods with no smell.

Everyone over 16 years cannot ever receive any financial or emotional support from a parent ever.

Only one alcoholic drink per month. More than that will trigger automatic enrolment to a alcohol support group.

A bin-fire jumble of illogical, ill-though out, emotionally-driven nonsense. Look at the numbers of posters who think a well-reasoned argument takes the form of 'so you're saying' followed by some idiotic non sequitur.

Separate train carriages for men who just want to sit comfortably as ‘man spreading’ will be punishable by death if found doing in the presence of women.

Any man found trying to be helpful by exposing how something works will be publicly flogged for the crime of ‘mansplaining.’

One chicken must feed a family of 5 for 1 week.

Men arent allowed. Anywhere.

Women will be allowed to shoot on sight any man that doffs his hat and says good morning or opens a door for them.

They can be shot twice if the man had the affront to smile in their direction.
