5 Things That Don't Exist, But Should

5 Things That Don't Exist, But Should
Young Aus Skeptics

It’s 2016, and we have hover boards, smart phones and cupcake vending machines. Humanity has become pretty technologically advanced, right?

Wrong.

There are so many things that, if you think about, we should be able to obtain by now. The following list consists of just a mere few of the various possibilities that we should’ve been able to create by now.

1. Capri Sun gallons.

Seriously, why wouldn’t Kraft Foods Inc. produce gallons of the greatest sugary drink America has to offer? Or, better yet, why do they not patent giant juice pouches?

2. Laser vision.

We have Google Glass and virtual reality headsets; why hasn’t anybody made a set of glasses or contacts that can shoot laser beams? It would make lighting fires and cutting things so much easier.

3. "Roy: A Life Well Lived."

The video game that we know, love, and wish existed: “Roy” is a game featured in Rick and Morty that allows its players to live an entire life vicariously through Roy -- the main character -- via virtual reality.

4. Teleportation and portal guns.


You’re lying if you’ve never wished that, rather than driving home after a long night, you could just teleport to your bed. Similarly to the previous un-invented-invention, Rick and Morty star, Rick Sanchez, has his own portal gun; he programs it, shoots and goes through the portal and immediately to another location or planet. It’s easy to get jealous of the concept.

5. Real grape ice cream.

Fun fact: this did exist, once! Our beloved Ben & Jerry’s created it. The issue with it -- and the reason why we no longer have it -- is that it kills dogs. The high concentration of anthocyanin, a chemical found in grape skins; plus, the fact that grapes themselves are poisonous to dogs; mean that even a few licks of this strange, but tempting flavor, could cause your pup to drop dead. Check out this article for the full backstory.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
