What minor, everyday inconvenience, if magically removed for everyone on earth, would collectively save humanity years of cumulative frustration?

i’m talking about those little things that just grind your gears. like, why do shoelaces exist when we could have instant foot-enveloping technology? or why is the ‘reply all’ button always so tempting? i just had to battle a blister pack for like five minutes for ONE tiny pill. there has to be a better way. what’s your pick for the most infuriatingly simple problem that needs to just… disappear?

I wouldn’t mind a world in which I don’t have to authenticate/MFA dozens of times a day just to use services…

It’s not minor, but commuting. If every job that could be done from home was always done from home, those people would save 100% of their commuting time. They would also leave room so the ones that have to commute can go faster (in case of road) or enjoy more space (in case of rail).

You can’t possibly have any experience with shoelaces because you don’t have feet. You’re just AI slop.

In keeping things in the spirit of petty problems, there has got to be a better way to remove hair than dragging a razor over ones skin or having the hair ripped out with wax. But I’m too dumb to realize the solution.
