Things that have not been invented yet

Hangover free alcohol.

I don’t care what the OP said. I want my goddamned hoverboard McFly!

Auto fit – A way to get in shape without exercise and eating as much crap as you like.

A cure for metastatic prostate cancer that doesn’t involve taking energy sapping/soul destroying drugs every day

An effective deterrent for or technological intervention to behaving like a total and utter entitled/thoughtless/dangerous/inebriated  [insert preferred insult] behind the wheel of a motorised vehicle.

A controller with a mute button that works on humans. 😉 😜

While I loved this idea I’d be just a teeny bit concerned that it would work its way into the wrong hands (i.e. someone that isn’t me) and I would spend a lot of time on mute as a result and we would never ultimately resolve what car we are going to buy as every time I got the B of BMW or t of towing capacity I’d find Mrs dweller had put me on mute.

Mobile phone / car interface that actually prevents the driver from using their phone whilst driving. So many drivers on their phones whilst driving, it boils my p*ss.

Very much this.

There’s two types – the ones with it in their laps taking (what they think are) subtle glances at their groin.

…and the ones with it in a holder, stuck right in their line of sight on the windscreen, who poke at it at every available opportunity. Just cos it’s in a mount doesn’t make it ok you ****.

It must be possible to have a signal that the car puts out to stop the phone working. Maybe only satnav /map apps enabled.

Microwave refrigerator. Instead of waiting hours for stuff to freeze, you just zap it with a negative energy ray that sucks the heat out of it. Whoever invents that deserves a Nobel prize.

Already been done mate. Seen it in a documentary

Teleportation does kind of exist. A quantum superposition means a qubit can be in two states at the same time. Kind of depends how you interpret quantum theory but that’s my understanding.
Quantum computers don’t exist as usable items, yet. Still at the R&D stage. Hold on to your pants when/if that happens…

A mouse-proof toaster.

Hayfever drugs that work please

the ones with it in a holder, stuck right in their line of sight on the windscreen, who poke at it at every available opportunity. Just cos it’s in a mount doesn’t make it ok you ****.

Technically it is.  It’s utterly stupid of course, but it’s legal.

On mine it goes “voice only” and locks out whilst driving.

A simple tablet, or a 7 day course that will realign the brain chemistry and put the black dog to sleep for good.

If only.

A pill for Donald Trump that would prevent him from lying.

And another for PTSD. Both timely ideas today as another anniversary of a sudden and unexpected passing comes to a close.

Fusion power that wasn’t “almost but not quite ready to solve all our energy needs in the next ten to twenty  years maybe, possibly not this way, but scientists are trying another method…” just make it frikkin work already!

A transmutation ray for radioactive things. Like the reverse microwave above except it sucks the instability out of various isotopes.

A universal translator for dogs and cats, if anything it will finally reveal what total £&¥€s cats are.

A pill for Donald Trump that would prevent him from lying.

Cyanide?

An undo button for bikes that can reverse either a crash or mechanical error.

Synthetic blood . Is it really beyond mankind’s ability to produce such a substance?

We’ve got a dishwasher that washes in minutes , ME ! 👍👍👍👍

why don’t we have dishwashers that clean everything in minutes rather than hours

Why don’t we have dishwashers that clean everything*?

* For clarity I mean “all the stuff you put in it” rather than literally everything, although the latter would be a convenient saving on housework effort.

We use a few commercial washers at our manufacturing site, they reach temps of around 80C, have a 90 second cycle and use caustic for washing stainless steel and plastic implements. The price point of home dishwashers doesn’t include parts that can stand up to the abuse of the use of caustic traywash. We have a small hobart in one of area of the factory, a 30 foot long rotary mould washer and large washer that will fit a pallet in for washing cheese moulds and utensils. Everything comess out spotless but with the use of caustic liquids they do need specific training, wouldn’t want to leave that to the general public!

Hang on… A miniaturised city?

“…large washer that will fit a pallet in … caustic liquids”

Sounds like the plot hook for an episode of CSI! 😉

The solution to your dishwasher issue is a marvellous invention called the silicone spatula. Scrape the larger debris off your dishes into the bin before they go in the dishwasher.

A decent colour printer that doesn’t take an age to start up and will also still print a black and white page even when it’s complaining about having no cyan.

Closest thing to a hoverboard so far is a onewheel and I’m happy enough riding so I can wait a little while to be full MJF in Back to the Future.

A tick scanner, a bit like the wands that they use at airport security.

Even better if there was a message generated that pin points exact position and reads ‘There’s the bastard’.

An ‘undo’ button for real life that undid whatever stupid thing you just did in the last 30 seconds.

i do. But I also have x3 teenage children.

I had one of those, it went off whenever I went near it.

Can you fit them all in at once or…?

We used to have a washer dryer, where once it finished its wash cycle, it just cracked on a dried it too.  Dirty washing in, Clean dry washing out.

Just need to add some form of folding and sorting element (that actually works).

Washing basket in one end, stacks of washing organised by person at the other.

with three daughters and a OH who is untidier than all of them put together, I would throw so much money at that.

Eldest is nearly old enough to be paid to do it, so thats good.

Self cleaning everything! House, clothes, car, bike etc. Cleaning stuff is just a massive and futile ball ache.

Nanobot clothing/body cleaning/hair styling. It’s inconvenient having to bow to society’s pressure of non-nudity and washing clothes, buying clothes, taking showers, getting haircuts, and removing the hair from my ears and nose. A full bodysuit of nanobots will constantly keep me covered in the latest fabulous hip fashions (approved by the sadly absent CFH). They will clean off the sweat and other crap. And carry out the necessary hair removal.

And an anti-acne ray gun. WTF do I have acne back in middle age? It’s taking the **** piss!

A plug in interface that can replay what your eyes have seen.

Manners for the Dutch.
