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

[O6bftdff]

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?

Like the channel tunnel?

@ScottBakula My daughter was working on the somewhat problem beset Coop Live building earlier this year, and that had facial recognition/retina entry which failed with depressing regularity!

@MarketValveForks I clicked on it - wtf?!!

I think this was Esperanto... don't think it ever really took off though.

you can still get them.

An invention that tells posters who haven’t read the thread if someone had already made the same post on the thread so they don’t need to. (Esperanto!)

You don’t have to burn to get skin cancer. Please take care.

Yep doesn't work for me sadly. Still doubled over with cramps every month and bleed - although the bleeding is much lighter.

I would like to choose my hair cut and colour and for it to stay exactly the same for however long I would like.

I find the hairdresser a total waste of time and money and resent every minute I have to sit there. Sadly I also like looking tidy and not grey so it's a necessity!

A shower that dries you too. So towels no longer needed.

Yes why does the hair in our head constantly grow and need to be cut?

The hair on our legs stops at a certain length.

@Lisanoonan precisely!

A switch for growing hair or not growing hair.

Mine is fingerprint protected. And even if someone did get I to my phone they would also need a fingerprint to use the bank card.

A teleporter would be a game changer, no more morning commute, no traffic, less pollution, less RTA's
Gah- we're out of milk, Ill just pop to tesco 'ping' - back within seconds with the milk.
Think of how much time we could save, how many hours are wasted travelling?

and one of those medical pods that was in the film Elysium. You just hop in, lie back and it fixes you. No more cancer, no more debilitating conditions. No painful surgery or recoveries. Childbirth would be over in seconds with no pain.

It's actually so nice to imagine how much better life could be

Yes those sun visors are useless if you are on the short side.

Read this one on MN years ago but not my invention.

Hoover for body discharge. When your period starts just use it and hoover your uterus so no more pads and dirty underwear.

I’d also use it for my poo withholding child. Stick the hoover up the bum and suck it all out. Again no mess,no smell.

Bag it up (preferably something similar to toilet paper) and flush.

A medication to make your period come out in one day, not 5-6 days

Huge numbers of Europeans (across many countries) speak English.

And calorie free M&S four cheese and onion combo party mix.

A flying bed. That is all.

Non iron bedding and shirts , you can get them now but they are lying ,you still need to iron them 😫

A flat tablespoon

thanks for your concern.

No they certainly do not. It's so weird that some English speakers think this.

How many European countries have you been to?

I've been to thirty.

Loads of them do not speak English at all.

I didn't say all of them spoke English (and indeed, nor should they). Just that English is often a common language across European countries, partly because it is the most commonly used language on the internet, and therefore many Europeans learn it at school. I work for a multi-national corporation, with offices in Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands and the Nordics. The majority of our meetings are held in English, as that is the one language that all the differing staff members across several countries speak as a second language. (And most of them speak it far better than a lot of English people!)

Yes I agree that English is used in businesses througjout Europe. The peolle who apply for those kind of roles in Germany , Spain and France need to be able to speak English, as it is a good language for Business.

But there is still no language that everyone in Europe can understand. A lot of people can't even communicate with each other.

It's a bit strange in this day and age. That so many people in Europe can't even communicate with each other at all.

I don't think we should force an existing language, English, on people, as they wouldnt like that.

Europe should come up with a new language and get everyone to learn it from a young age. They came up with the concept with Espranto, but then they didn't do much with it.
