Hold a referendum between all the countries colonised or imperialised by Britain and refer to it as Brexit 2.0 first, just to rub salt in the wound.

It is not enough to see our enemies destroyed but they must be humiliated as well.

bioengineer a fungus that can digest plastic and seed the Pacific with it

This is a good one because the most likely outcome of this is that the fungus spreads to all plastics, not just the waste in the ocean, and soon your household items are getting eaten.

this is cool until you realize humans have a non negligible amount of plastic in their lungs and will get some sort of crazy fungal disease in the lung as a result

Pumping enormous state resources into breaking every record in the Guiness book of world records by such a large margin that they are forever out of reach for any non-state actors. Just draft 100 000 people to break the record for baking the world’s biggest cinnamon bun. Pour all of our medical resources into surgically making some CEO 5 meters tall just so it is obvious that the record will never ever be broken again and they eventually have to stop publishing new editions.

We can not allow a cinnamon bun gap to develop between us and Nigeria. If I’m elected I will provide a tax credit for all bakers who contribute to making a bigger bun than our enemies.

Universal conlang

This is mine. I’d have all the kids learn both spoken toki pona and the corresponding sign language. It’d rapidly diverge from the canonical version in real world use, and it’s more entertaining than strictly practical, but I just think it’d be neat. And it really wouldn’t take much time investment to do.

Chauvinism. The world language should be derived from languages across the world, not just Indo-European ones (looking at you Esperanto!)

yea but there is no such conlang around today

I think it’s better to adopt english and have a large decolonial movement that sets up a parallel Wikipedia where plants and animals and everything else are named after their actual native names instead of “lord smittlington’s small pepper”

I said english was good because esperanto is no better, and everyone already speaks english
