If you could regulate something relatively inconsequential, what would it be?

  1. Fitted sheet must have label on bottom right seam
  2. Salted butter wrapping text must be red. Unsalted blue.

I think most of these ideas are great but actually too consequential.

Chargers should have an LED that displays red while charging and green when finished. An amber LED toward the end is acceptable. I’m not making this up. I have an item that only displays solid red, when it’s finished charging.

Red/green colorblindness is a thing. I would suggest a flashing lamp for charging and a steady light for charged.

That is also acceptable.

I’m partial to blinking for charging and solid for charged. Allows single color LED which is cheaper. Then if you do use multi-color or RGB you can turn red for incompatible/error.

Nah, blinking when done. It’s a call to action of sorts.

Yeah sure, same difference to me. Just not solid on for both.
