@Anthilda

A functional mask that responds to people engaging with you, behind which you can go to sleep Grin
on this note
  • a face covering that does a 'talking lip' thing so that hearing impaired can lip read.

@VelvetRibbon

TVs/gaming consoles that are connected to treadmills or exercise bikes, and that only activate above a certain speed.
There was a programs a few years ago where a family moved into a 'green' house. What they didn't realise was that it was being powered by a group of people on exercise bike. Think there may have been 100 in total. It was astonishing his many they needed at certain points of the day.

A sucky device that fits to your cervix and sucks out your period in a couple of minutes

Eeeugh. But yes I agree.

I would like something that automatically drenches someone's bonfire when they start one.

A robot who does all your housework and life admin for you EXACTLY the way you want it done (without arguing/complaining).

Someone beat me to tablet sunscreen- hate feeling sticky and putting it on repeatedly.

Online gym classes- try Les Mill on demand.

Teleporter transport. Pop to New Zealand for the weekend, Canada for a day etc.

A robot that cleans everything and sorts out all my washing.

HoratiotheHorsefly · 30/08/2020 17:14

Eco friendly disposable bed linen and a gadget to put the duvet in the cover. I detest changing beds, washing the bastard bedding and then having to fold and store super king size bedding.

Microchips in people holding their medication info. Go to the GP, put your arm or another body part into a reader, medication added. Go to hospital and they amend your medication. Go to the GP and your medication is amended and updated therefore creating a paperless system. For those who have never had to amend medication especially badly written information you're lucky.

A pill that makes you burn up loads of calories while you sleep.

a breadmaker that doesn't leave paddle holes
You can apparently bake bread in a slow cooker. Never tried it though.

@Thebreadsouth

I always wanted one of those machines you see in movies with a mad professor. Some sort of contraption that lifts you out of bed, brushes your teeth, washes and dresses you, then deposits you at the table in front of a freshly made coffee and cooked breakfast.
This has been my dream for as long as I can remember!

Weed killer that you can spray all over the garden but it just kills the weeds, not the plants you want (and obviously isn't toxic for animals either).

Dishwasher-safe bbq

Machine to spray-on suntan lotion

Spray to highlight/balayage your hair

Virtual gym classes - sure we are not far, but there must something better than zoom or bad graphics

Cover -umbrella & side type - that comes up and fold automatically over your laundry when it rains

Screen that comes up to stop the noise from anti-social neighbours and/or their smoke

Device that produces clothing with universal sizes
So if you need a 12 3/4 average height, you can buy a 12 3/4 average lenght from any shop in the country...

Lotus Grill is a bbq system which is dishwasher safe.

Did anyone ever read Valley of the Dolls when she went to the weight loss clinic and was just drugged for a week and when she came to she had lost what she wanted?

Sleep for a week AND lose weight. Living the dream!!! I wonder if it was ever a real thing.
