What needs to be invented that hasn’t been yet?

We need car radio that we can pause. There was a quiz on the radio earlier and I waited ages for the answer but eventually had to go to a meeting. I wish I could pause it and start where I’d turned the engine off. Same as a rewind for when you start the car at the end of a song you love.

What else needs to be invented?

A bracket on the wall to hang up your hairdryer so you have both hands free (to style your hair or out on make-up or play on your phone or whatever).

You can often listen back to radio stations on their app.

When we had a dog, I always though an automatic dog washer and drier would be useful when they came home wet and muddy from a walk.

Something that makes changing the duvet cover easier.

A pill to take instead of having to put on sun cream

More methods of contraception for the man than just condoms or a vasectomy.

Like the old fashioned hair drying things they had in salons years ago! I’d love one of those

Self tan with hair growth inhibitor so you don’t wreck your tan when you shave every/every other day. Ceiling lights that mimic daylight, nail buffer guards so I don’t take out my skin on my fingers, an easily installable mechanism to store used bath water for gardening/water butt/car washing

Underwear that 100% neutralises the smell of farts

Universal parking app. Every car park then has the same one. It can't be that hard!!

Allowing your hormonal cycle to do it’s thing without the symptoms and period. I worked out the other day that I have been bleeding for over 9 years if I add it all together- I only needed one egg!
It would have been solved by now if it happened to men.

More variety of period products.

I often thought that a natural sponge type product would be more comfortable to wear than a pad.

Yes an invention to stop periods altogether, in the safest way , for women who don't want any periods

Lisanoonan · 12/11/2024 21:26

Yes. Better contraception for men

Cantrushart · 12/11/2024 21:26

A pill that would make you thin...oh wait...

Duvet clamps.

A properly realistic robot dog. I want a dog so much but I can't guarantee someone will be home every day.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 12/11/2024 21:28

Robot vacuum cleaner that can do stairs and reach high cobwebs.

And the universal parking app.

Oh I'm in Spain this week. I'm walking round it.
In the city I'm in there are a million traffic lights.

You you get to walk for two minutes, then you have to wait for five minutes as cars go past, then walk, then wait again at the next lights. It takes ages to walk anywhere.

I thought "why don't they invent smaller pedestrian footbridges that go up and over thes roads That way, no one at all would have to stand waiting at traffic lights for ages"

This used to exist, I remember my Grandma handing them out to us in Spain in the 60s and 70s!

One language for all of Europe to learn, so everyone can communicate.

While also keeping their own languages.
