@techno156: Which is another one of the sharp contrasts between the “Classic” and “Modern” Simpsons. The early episode “Moaning Lisa” had a pretty realistic portrayal of depression. Then in the later episode “The Good, the Sad, and the Drugly,” they made it look like antidepressants are secretly mind-altering drugs that only serve as escapism than actually trying to alleviate the depression. Yeah, good luck on not offending anyone with that. x_x [tdown]

I was just thinking it would be cool if there was an animated kids' show where each episode is based on a certain trope. I don't necessarily think it should teach kids about how tropes are used in fiction, but how they work in real life. For example, we could have an episode called "Angry, Angry Hippos" that teaches kids that hippos are dangerous, and it's best to watch them at a zoo or on TV rather than get close to them.

The show would have a cast of quirky characters, based on whichever tropers are writing the show, who keep finding themselves in wacky and surreal situations and learning new things.

We probably wouldn't be able to make episodes based on tropes about blood, sex, etc. But hey, maybe there could be an adult animated series that covers those.

It would be cool if someone made the "Fantastic Voyage" Plot Godzilla film that only exists in concept. It sounds like a fascinating plot.

Some sort of automated system that would let you have a free sample of any food in a grocery store. If I want to try a new thing, I want to know how it tastes before I buy it.

[up] When that happened with my headphones, it turned out that it was just the cable that was bad, and replacing it fixed the problem.

Playing with your headphones can also cause that or just ruin them completely. I've lost a lot of earbuds by twisting them and swinging them around.

That's definitely one of the upsides of a removable cable, since you can replace it easily. Provided it's not a proprietary cable. (looking at you, Sennheiser)

Also why I'm probably going to look at one with the same when I do think about getting a new set.

Me, I just stick with wireless. There's a show about a kid who everything goes wrong around; he doesn't wear shoes with laces because they always end with him tied in a knot. That's me with headphone cables whenever I'm not situated at a desk for an extended length of time.

Wireless is good for cable free, except for its reliance on batteries, and not all systems working that well with it. Using Bluetooth headphones and a Bluetooth mouse on my computer at the same time causes the audio to randomly cut out, for example, a problem I don't get with cables.

It's definitely a lot less work with needing to pair everything when using wires as well.

More show intros that also introduce the characters like in Ninjago or Gravity Falls. Saves on introduction time in the show itself and having to awkwardly have the characters refer to eachother by their names in situations where people familiar with eachother wouldn't really do so.

[up] Those probably already exist. It's just the phones that we see survive tend to be still around because they were the ones that lasted, rather than being built better compared to modern ones.
