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.

Speedos.

Religious texts?
Uhhh no... umm... lets go with the Jatco CVT8 (a la most Nissans) because even by CVT standards it is terribad. -
@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.

@ranwhenparked it's supposed to be humorous lol

The front facing camera on cell phones. I understand from a communication aspect the merits of them, especially in 2020, but the narcissistic culture the selfie has created has gone too far.

i vote for banning nissans
for failing to actually put the id x on the market -
@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.

The Nvidia GTX 1030

@aestheticsinmotion does influencers count? They're physical people mostly

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?

...I'll allow it.

Uh... nuke-ular bombs, maybe?
World peas, and all that.
Prepare to suffer through a 30 second commercial for some classic Steve Martin goodness.

@aestheticsinmotion
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.

Uggs. They look like shit, and the people that wear them are usually not my kind of people.

@aestheticsinmotion I vote to ban autonomous cars

All social media. The world would be a much better place. (I do not consider this forum social media)

Corollas, Prii and those who drive them.

Bottled water. I hate it. I hate the concept of it. I'm not talking about water in a reusable bottle, only bottled water. You know the difference.
