When I'm alone I'll wear a full suit, because dressing up makes me feel nice, but I lack the courage to go full "retro men's fashion enthusiast" and dress up like it's 1939

Bats are babeys

And they keep the dengue fever away.

Depends on how much shooting is involved.

Mouse aim trumps controller aim after all. But for games that aren't shooting-focussed I favour controllers because I can flop back.

My parents' old place had the bat towels and the bat box.

Bats would hang out in our garden eating bugs and such. But they'd sometimes get confused, flop into the house, and get stuck. We live in a third world country, there isn't some organization we can call to properly care for the bats, but we're not stupid and we know that handling a wild animal is bad for us and the critter.

So. Old beat up towels. Toss one on the floor next to the crawling bat. It'll cling to it. Lift the towel from a distance. Gently drop it in the box. Put the box next to a tree. Bat will find the tree and find its way home.

Since you said silly and inconvenient I'll keep from more serious propositions and say:

App/login pestering. Large fines for each individual exposed to it. Even most corporations would hesitate to do it.

Also every narrative work (book/movie/game/comic/whatever) would have to have a legally registered "estimated number of installments" with a set ending written the moment it gets published. Going past the limit and publishing more installments to that media would incur fines that would start high, and grow by powers of ten with every extra installment.

You wrote a trilogy of movies with a nice satisfying ending? Good good. Enjoy making money off of it. But if you make a sequel or prequel you'll have to pay 1 billion dollars. Extended universe? Ten billion. One hundred billion. A trillion.

Well I'll be thrice-damned.

Worth a try I guess.

I won't disagree -- Glasses look nice on my face. But see my other reply.

Ah, that was never my problem with glasses.

The problem is that I am a very sweaty, oily person by nature.

The interaction between this and the glasses is that the oils get into those little nose pad thingies and eventually into my eyes, causing immense eye irritation. The only way to avoid it is to take a break every hour to wash face and glasses lest my eyes turn read and teary.

Generally annoying, doubly so given how ADHD I am and my tendency to either hyperfocus and forget about it entirely until I straight up can't see, or to move off a task only to find myself unable to start it again.

And right now I can afford to only wear my glasses if I'm like. Doing a lot of reading with really tiny text or if I'm driving (which I rarely do because I'm fortunate enough to work from home and live at a place where most services are accessible by foot) -- But my eyesight has a tendency to worsen as I age, and I have no idea how I'll cope once it gets so bad I need them all the time.

I am comfortably millenial.

I still do this.

Glasses are a pain in the arse, man.
