Food banks / pantries could be like grocery stores

By Hicbd

"Traditional food banks and free grocery centers often give pre-bagged packages or operate in a farmers’ market-style setting, restricting consumers’ options and variety. In stark contrast, the District 10 Community Market offers a dignified shopping experience for locals, who can choose from aisles stocked with staples such as milk, eggs, fresh veggies, tortilla chips, and canned beans. The only distinction from a traditional supermarket is the lack of a cash register."

Seniors could have a march of hats

By Hicbd

"At the annual “march of hats”, they are invited to parade through the city in festive attire and extravagant headgear. A marching band leads them to a stage outside the town hall, where the most innovative headdresses are awarded prizes...The march of hats kicks off a month of festivities and activities, including a gala night at the Wroc?aw Opera, Nordic walking trips to the surrounding countryside, film nights, workshops on dealing with online scammers, and open-air painting sessions."

Assassinations / targeted killing could be used instead of war

By Hicbd

"Historically, at least since the mid-eighteenth century, Western thinking has generally considered the use of assassination as a tool of statecraft to be illegal. Some academics, military personnel and officials describe targeted killing as legitimate within the context of self-defense, when employed against terrorists or combatants engaged in asymmetrical warfare. They argue that unmanned combat aerial vehicles (drones) are more humane and more accurate than manned vehicles. Scholars are also divided as to whether targeted killings are an effective counterterrorism strategy."

Museums could have scavenger hunts for kids

By Hicbd

"Museum outings with kids can be a toss-up, so I’ve got a little trick I use to keep everyone engaged. Before we go, I put together a scavenger hunt packed with random things to spot. Think “a skull,” “grapes,”...You can tailor the list to kids' ages, too—when mine were little, it was more about colors and expressions ("something red, someone who looks happy"), but now it’s specific pieces or trickier things to find. For added fun, I throw in some bonus challenges: show me the scariest-looking baby or find the painting with the most people in it."

Friday to Saturday could be Shabbat / rest / reflection

By Hicbd

"Shabbat observance entails refraining from work activities, often with great rigor, and engaging in restful activities to honor the day...Shabbat is observed from a few minutes before the sun sets on Friday evening until the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night, or an hour after sundown. Shabbat is ushered in by lighting candles and reciting blessings over wine and bread. Traditionally, three festive meals are eaten: The first one is held on Friday evening, the second is traditionally a lunch meal on Saturday, and the third is held later Saturday afternoon."

Childhood photos could inspire / comfort

By Hicbd

"Hanging in each of their offices is their childhood photo. The reason behind this adorable decision? Every time they look up to see their younger selves in all their girlhood glory — complete with rosy cheeks, cheese-y grins and sparkling eyes — they remember a piece of themselves that deserves the very best. Grace during times of failure. Patience in moments of frustration. The kindest encouragement. And then — here’s my favorite part — they try to treat their current selves with all that tender love."

Car washes could be haunted

By Hicbd

"Starting at $30 per car, Southern California residents can dare to enter the Haunted Carwash—a nightmarish journey that turns an ordinary car wash into a realm of terror. As you slowly drive through, sinister performers will leap from the shadows, and spine-tingling special effects will envelop you in an atmosphere of sheer horror."

Root canals / mouthwash / fluoride / certain toothpastes / metal tooth fillings could be harmful

By Hicbd

"In the film, root canal therapies are claimed to be associated with cancer, and it is suggested that pulling an infected tooth is a better approach. The film's trailer implies that root canals or infected teeth can lead to migraines, diabetes, lupus, fibromyalgia and heart disease. The film makes specific false claims of "97% of patients with breast cancer had a root canal on the same side as the cancer," and "the #1 cause of heart attack is root canal treated teeth," and that root canals result in inflammation leading to systemic disease."
