    If you could "ban" one physical product, what would it be?

      And why?

      I'd pick laser pointers. I think they're insanely cool—especially the nuttier ones that can pop balloons, shatter glass, destroy Alderaan, etc.—but their potential for misuse vastly outweighs that.

              @aestheticsinmotion This is hard, because I basically struggle to think of anything I want banned, at least among what's currently legal. Much of the stuff that's illegal already makes sense. Not really a fan of banning stuff in general, even if I personally hate it.

                      @aestheticsinmotion I would ban balloons, particularly the plastic ones that fly off into the sunset. I don't see the point and I find dead balloons in the woods all the damn time.

                      And you may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"

                            Hold on. Can I change my answer to TikTok..?
                            Wait.... I said physical.... Damn.

                            Somewhat tangential to this, it amazes me that laptops still ship with godawful front facing cameras. I hosted a teams meeting for work on a 2019 flagship laptop and was amazed at how awful the image quality was...

                                Huh. I can't say that's been something I've ever noticed. How about we replace balloons with their floating lantern brethren?

                                      Yay! It's like the Japanese Fu-Go Bombs all over again! Had some people in my area almost set fire to the neighborhood a few years back on the 4th of July with those cursed lanterns. Alas they are already banned in most states or that would be a pick for me.

                                          @aestheticsinmotion I almost burned down our neighbors house with one of those floating lanterns. I had 4, threw the last three away when I realized how dangerous these things were.

                                            Yeah. I'd never seen them before and my neighbour had one a few years ago. He lit it up and sent it off and I watched it float off into the sky and wondered where, exactly, that fire was going to land.
