Every shitter gets a biogas generator and we stop extracting natural (petrochemical) gas but use the existing pipelines for renewable sewer gas power

Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
A truman show-esque reality TV program, where donald trump is planted as a regional manager of a small chain restaurant and monitored 24/7.
oh and trains, I guess, space trains
My crank project would be a vast public domain and publicly owned version of the Library of Congress, for literature, movies, shows, games, and pretty much any and all media in danger of being lost to time, copyright bullshit, tax write-off skullduggery, or the like. A big part of that project would be attempts to retrieve and restore media that is already considered lost.
i would build everything that would give my granddaughter a better life
The destruction of all white settlements in desert areas and summar execution of sundown towners
I’d wage trade, diplomatic and military offensives to push the sae/imperial/feet, pounds etc. on other countries.
They could even do something different as long as it’s not metric.
E: compulsory trade, music and art education.
Not for the workforce, just because it’s nice to make and enjoy stuff.
Convert all standard mathematics from base 10 to base 12
Global grid of computers for collective use. Like a public cloud. The primary purpose of this would be for economic planning (and voting on priorities for the plan) but also for any other purpose (research, providing services, data storage and distribution, etc).
I'd try to make the education, society, and culture in such a way to try and make almost everybody gay or bisexual to see how much nurture affects sexuality
Talks about a society that may or may not have encouraged sexual assault
Idea inspired by the Romans being super gay but I'm not sure if that was because of culture or just rape
Make rokos basilisk real but exclusively target dipshit techbros. And genetically modifying humanity so I can eat all the unhealthy tasty food I want without getting some kind of cancer or turning into a blimp, or anything else really.
This is conpletely serious but definitely a crank answer:
Create a network of Greenways on the scale of our railroads and interstates, carving out huge swaths of cities and connecting every state and national forest and park.
Then maintain the ecological integrity of these Greenways by making practical indigenous land management and foraging mandatory topics in schools.
I will also maintain a small army of engineers to run clean, running water through the greenways (for handwashing) as well as an army of pilots and EMTs to make sure the Greenway dwellers have access to modern medical infrastructure.
Again, I am completely serious.
Ban lawns. Like, completely. No more lawns. Having one is a punishable offense. I want children to report their parents on this matter. Merciless enforcement. EVERYONE with ground space MUST have a garden.
One of my not-crank i will actually do this if you fools let me wield power projects is evacuating the suburbs in to high density city cores, mining the burbs for useful materials, the bulldozing them for use as crop lands, light industry, and whatever else is acceptable to have near cities.
Create an artificial language with no exceptions to its rules, then teach it in every school in the world, so that the whole humanity spoke one language.
Also ban smoking
- An eco-corps jobs program tasked with removal of invasive species and restoration of degraded habitats.
- The best elements of scouting would be folded into the education system and become the core of its new outdoor skills portion. Everyone would learn how to safely & responsibly conduct themselves while enjoying the outdoors.
- Mandatory enforced veganism
- Billionaire gladiatorial fights
- Ban smoking (vapes will be allowed for a 5 year transitional period)
White people and even former capitalists are given the opportunity to be full, equal members of society
Very occasionally, you find a capitalist who'll say something along the lines of "You're prejudiced against rich people! This is discrimination!"
And, like, sure, OK. But guess what? You can always just give up the capital and then the 'discrimination' ends.
Thinking of actual crank projects. Mine is probably nuclear powered ships. Decarbonize the oceans!
Okay but hear me out - what about 21st century tea clippers built with bleeding edge material science and utilizing advanced weather tracking to maximize speed and minimize crossage time, all without using "powered", ie electric battery or ice, propulsion during normal operations?
I would build a giant space station that's basically entirely solar panels with some kind of magnetic dust shield that would be permanently in sunlight, then it would beam electricity down to earth or something.
We’re bringing back Roman bath houses and including spots to nap in public there in case you have like an hour and a half gap between things you have to do but it’s too far to go home. Really just more public space investment
