To create a solution, you first have to spot the problem. But what if the problem keeps getting overlooked?
Most of us go through the day without really noticing the small things that could be better. Some of them don’t affect us directly, so we don’t give them much thought. Others we’ve just accepted as normal, even if they’re inconvenient.
Thankfully, there are people who pay more attention. People who care enough to notice and smart enough to come up with clever ways to make things easier. Below are some of their best ideas, guaranteed to make you say, “How did no one think of this sooner?”

#13 This Park Has A Swing For Kids In A Wheelchair
There’s a rope in front of the swing, blocking the swing from being pushed too fast. I moved it around to see, it’s pretty limited how far/high it can be pushed. Either way, kids can figure out a way to injure themselves on anything I suppose.

#25 For Pre-Approved Protests, South Korea Police’s Sanitary Div. Deploys Portable Toilets For Protesters To Use
Also to clarify, it’s also for the police force there but anyone can use it freely. Was air-conditioned and clean 8/10.
For clarification, “pre-approved” means you’ll get the police’s assistance when doing protests. In this case, it was a worker’s union protest. They got toilets, road blockades and traffic control for parading, light towers, portable cell tower, and noise monitoring not to bother the neighbors. They won’t arrest you for not getting approved as long as you don’t break the law or be a nuisance.
