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?

  1. A cure for all neurological disorders since most seem to be stemming from the same part of the brain - The Basal Ganglia.

2.An AI robot that you can upload a list of all the food items you have home onto. Then you select the times when you want meals. The robot decides what to make from the ingredients you've got at home (will email you samples before cooking) once you okayed them, it then just cook them at the appropriate times. When it's time you'll receive a notification to say the meal is ready.

Another robot packs up the dishes and cleans up the kitchen (cooker, kitchen surface and sink & fridge)

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

While also keeping their own languages.

Edited

It's called English.

@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!

I live very close to the coop and know a few people that worked / work there .
95% say they have know idea how the building is still standing let alone functional!

Not RTFT but the changeable electric window view generator from the first "Total Recall".

I've found describing the type of pain and comparing it helps

So I'll say it's like someone is twisting my ovary or it feels like my stomach is going to burst open

When they say on a scale of 1-10 I'll say well breaking my ankle was a 4, this is a 9

I agree giving a comparison helps but I want the manikin actual know what it feels like and give the right info to the doc.

Feeling like my stomach is going to explode = magic bot feels it and knows that your appendix is about to rupture so tell the doc to dial 999

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

That exists! It's called Heliocare. And while they say to use in conjunction with sun cream, it helps cancel out the free radicals that cause sun damage.

Nose tampons and front door code locks are life savers.

i asked my clever daughter to invent a steering wheel heater. She pressed a few buttons on our Tesla, and heated it up for me haha.

A 100% working solution for lice!

A pill that would restore hair back to its normal colour if you’ve gone grey. I would pay a LOT of money for this. So sick of dying my hair and am not ready to go white yet 😬

Location stickers! Just a small sticker that you can pop on your keys, remote etc that you can scan when you get them.. so when you’ve put them down and they blooming disappear you don’t have to spend ages looking 😂
Nothing fancy or big, something that can only be seen if you’ve scanned the QR code so randoms can’t see the location of your car keys, but gosh I would pay lots of money for this 😂

Tile. You attach them to your keys. There's an app on your phone that can locate the tile or make it make a noise.

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.

Yes - same for nappies!

I’ve often joke with my children that we should have a ‘School Run Catapult’. Every morning we launch the kids from the roof. The school have their catching net waiting.
Removes all parking / traffic problems with just an hour or so every morning of organised chaos in the sky 😂

MissyPants · 14/11/2024 23:40

@AnchorWHAT yes but more local! Everyday trains at all locations, instead of people, cars!
Don't you be stealing my Dragons Den idea now! 🤣

A way to see the future

But what if you don't like what you see?

HRTQueen · 14/11/2024 23:49

A hairbrush that cleans your hair

I would pay a lot of money for this (well as much as I could afford to)

Clothes that NEVER need ironing.

But what if you don't like what you see?

I meant more a way to see potential futures. For example I often struggle with indecision.

Eg. Should I move here, or should I move there.

Should I take this job, or should I take this job.

I'd love to have a way to see different potential futures in detail, so I can see which one would be the best for me.
