What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could? (lemmy.ml)

I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

Since you said silly and inconvenient I'll keep from more serious propositions and say:

App/login pestering. Large fines for each individual exposed to it. Even most corporations would hesitate to do it.

Also every narrative work (book/movie/game/comic/whatever) would have to have a legally registered "estimated number of installments" with a set ending written the moment it gets published. Going past the limit and publishing more installments to that media would incur fines that would start high, and grow by powers of ten with every extra installment.

You wrote a trilogy of movies with a nice satisfying ending? Good good. Enjoy making money off of it. But if you make a sequel or prequel you'll have to pay 1 billion dollars. Extended universe? Ten billion. One hundred billion. A trillion.

Gonna be honest, a system that governs narrative works sounds like something from an orwellian dystopia, in which, ironically, the protagonist would publish a story, do a follow up because of public demand and end up being executed behind the chemical shed

The world if I became a dictator would be very dystopian, but in a rather unusual way. ü
