I’d make it so that liquid soap dispensers sounded like they were struggling to nut quietly each time you pressed down.
I quite like the (I think?) Jewish curse: “may your laundry never dry”. That would suck wearing clothes that are always slightly damp.
Calm down Satan!
I know you jest, but the more you think about it, the nastier a curse it is. For example, your crack would always be itchy. You’d never be able to put your clothes away because mold would devour them. And so on.
Every set of stairs has one step that is slightly taller than the rest
Don’t bother with steps that are each different — making steps the wrong height/length is enough. If you ever walked up/down stairs that felt really weird it’s probably because the builder ignored the international standards on that topic and built steps that are a couple centimeters off.
I’m sure you mean all the heights are a little different, but I’m envisioning where every step has to be taller than the previous one and the shenanery that would happen to make long stair cases navigable. Start with teeny tiny steps to end with uncomfortably large ones.
You must greet everyone you meet with a handshake and ten seconds of uninterrupted eye contact. Forced smiles and a serious talk about how you really are doing are also mandatory.
Pretty awkward if you ask me :)Neurodivergent hell.
Bell ringing sound every time you get an erection
That could be deafening in certain public spaces.
Make it so that when you arrive home you’re never allowed to put your keys in the same place more than once.
Forgot something in the car and have to go back out? Time to find a new spot…
You know how you sometimes get a pebble stuck under your shoe and walking just feels weird until you remove it.
That, but there’s no actual pebble.
USB-C now has the same connector directionality problem that USB-A does
Id like to think it would still work both ways mechanically, but would be one sided electrically.
Funnily enough, there are cases where that occurs. The Zed Mini is a great example, where the orientation of the cable affects it’s ability to fully utilise USB bandwidth. I don’t recall the reason off the top of my head, but I have shared stories with a number of people in the computer vision sector who have torn their hair out over those cameras only to discover that they don’t work properly when the cable is “upside down”
Everyone’s butt hole could be anywhere on their body. Everyone needs a different kind of toilet to properly position themselves. Everyone starts aligning themselves as friends based on the location of their butt hole. “Oh sorry I can’t stay too long. My butthole is in my armpit.”
Everytime you open a door it moans with pleasure.
Hot beverages are always either too hot or too cold.
Everyone is ever so slightly telepathic, functionally making a web of felt emotions with no thoughts connecting them so what you feel from this is basically a summary of the people in the area around you.
Example: Everyone could be focused at work, nothing major going on, until someone thinks about their significant other and all of a sudden there’s a tiny bit of horny thrown in the mix, everyone knows its there, and no one knows who put it there.
Women are already scarce in IT.
Remove the ability to remember if you turned something off.
Telepathy for everyone. Instant chaos.
You could never wear socks because your feet would get diseased.
I would give everyone noclip mode.
Convenient because you can fly anywhere and through walls. People’s commutes would be so much shorter!
Inconvenient because of the messy implications of getting stuck in walls if you turned it off at the wrong time and people would probably just be able to take anything they wanted without repurcussions so the world might devolve into chaos. You wouldn’t really be able to jail anyone. Security and privacy would be hard to come by.
