    They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.

    Both these bananas and the pre-chopped veggies are nice for people with disabilities.

    Please stop with justifying things that are terrible for people and the world. If these items are needed for people with disabilities, you don’t take a natural container, remove it and cover it in plastic. The solution would be to create something that is created once and does the job required indefinitely.

    Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don't brown as quick

    Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can't peel a banana, how will they open this package?

    Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can't get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.

    There have been national park visitors who have asked at what time the animals are let out of their cages and put back in them. Then again, that might be an education issue rather than a stupidity problem. Would it be ethical to experiment on these people by suggesting "we'll tell you if you can get that dumpster open"?

    Caveat: Having never seen those dumpsters, I have the nagging feeling that I could well be outsmarted by the bears.

    Lotteries. If people understood odds they'd never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.

    I'm gonna get downvoted for this but... gaming consoles.

    Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It's an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.

    I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There's nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don't exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.

    Warning labels that say shit like "Contains: Milk" on a carton of milk.

    I hate to be "that guy" but in theee cases, it just makes more sense to have some extraneous labeling rather than have special clauses in the regulation dictating when it's obvious enough that the label can be omitted.

    Keeping the rules as simple as possible reduces the chances of loopholes and ambiguity, at the expense of sometimes resulting in things like a jar of peanut butter stating "contains peanuts" on the label.

    My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn't walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn't even call the nurse to let her know what was up
