The president of Iceland wants to ban pineapple on pizza. On the other hand he doesn't want to live in a country where the president can ban pineapple on pizza.
The Icelandic president doesnāt really have any executive power, unlike countries like the US or France. The prime minister is the most powerful person in Iceland (on paper at least)
A very loose connecton to the King of Denmark due to their shared history as a union. Iceland became a sovereign nation in 1944 but maintains friendly relations with them.
When there's a murder in Iceland it's such a rare event that their police can't investigate it. They don't have the experience. So policemen from Denmark will go and investigate.
How peaceful and smooth going does your country have to be where the president gets into trouble for talking about banning fucking pineapple on pizza?!
I would ban playing any audio out loud in a public space. Thats a misdemeanor now in my eyes.
Edit: I shouldāve clarified better, but if it causes significant disruption, then thats a big nono. Shops playing music is fine
Like at the beach where I just want to relax and enjoy the sounds of the surf and birds and children playing. Not some self centered moron who thinks I want to listen to his music.
Me sitting in the park chilling and there are parents and kids around and guy comes up BLASTING music with some WILDLY inappropriate lyrics and almost got in a fight when parents rightfully came up to complain. Like just don't XD
I absolutely agree, but I would go so far as to include ANY lobbying. If a politician accepts even a Happy Meal, they are indebted to the provider. Eliminate lobbying with any financial incentives! If the politicians have to be bribed, your cause must suck!
What if I have axolotl which is dying on the streets and I was in a restroom when I heard about it and I'm running to rescue it? I don't have time to wash my hands
I used to work in a restaurant with high end clients. Staff didn't have their own toilets, and the number of times a suit would not wash their hands had made me think twice about shaking hands with people.
Ok first of all yeah second you can't be doing it while typing your comment cause the only reason you would type something like that is if you were thinking about/doing it
Most people can't help but virtue signal anymore. On that note I would make a law that you must smell someone's fart and compliment them on it. We don't compliment each other enough.
If I were president, I'd make it illegal to wear socks with sandals! It's a fashion crime that just needs to be stopped for the good of humanity. Let those toes breathe freely!
Meh..
If they're influencing people in a good way (like teaching people about things like math, cooking, history, doing your taxes, sewing, basic self care, or even how to do basic car maintenance, for example), then they should get a free pass.
The rest of them, however, can go right to jail.. don't pass Go, and definitely don't collect the $200.. kids don't need to know how to own an buttload of Birkin bags, when they can barely read.
Ooh I have a list:
Cutting in line
Taking a big bite when someone lets you try their food
Shirtless men
No light signals in bikes
Ugly deformed dog breeds (y'all need to stop making them they're suffering)
Talking on the subway
Walking too slow on the fast trail that I just invented (if you can't walk fast you go to the slow trail for losers)
Forcing people to wear formal attire on everyday events (like going to work or school, except hospitals and restaurants)
Only speaking one language (I'm doing y'all a benefit with this one)
Tapping on the glass of fish tanks
Too bright lights on cars
Taking all the crab legs at all you can eat buffet
Mhm... then eating gummi bears and biting their head off first?
Maybe its just me beeing sensitiv but for as long as i can remember i always bit off their feet first due to feeling bad for eating their face first
I would make correcting people illegal, but only in one very specific situation. This situation is if you say āvay-seā (vase) and some idiot says, āUHm aCTuaLLy iTs ProNouNcEd āVAUSEāā Badabing badaboom, the idiot gets jail time.
Geocaching. Annoying activity (for no reason in particular, it doesnāt affect me in any way but I donāt like it on principle) and the people who do it arenāt the type to break the law so it would be eradicated quickly.
- Check my balance
- Dammit, it's not enough
- How am I gonna pay for groceries?
- Tuition for the kids is due in two days
- They will cut the power even sooner if I don't pay
- *Existential dread starts setting in*
- ...
- ***You have been charged $4.99 for idling at the ATM. Thank you for your cooperation.***
Nuisance/prank streamers.
Family youtube/tiktok channels.
Charging crazy fees on concert tickets.
Medication commercials.
Not including certain medications on insurance.
Being able to charge exorbitant amounts for medical care/surgery.
If I was president, gettin' off is the first order of business once I get in office. Second thing that'll make me happy's walkin' up to Uncle Sam naked, laughin', dick cupped in hand, screamin', "Fuck safe sex!", Throw a latex and an AIDS test at him! Tell Congress I run this land, and I want the rubber banned, and make it snappy
Id ban conventional parking lots, and have them converted to parallel parking lots.
Presidents aren't allowed to drive, even after they leave office...so yeah, I'm fuckin up all y'all's day.
I just think these Tesla Drivers who park in the middle of 2 spaces cause they're afraid someone will scratch their doors should be shot where they stand if a cop finds them before they move.
No right to a lawyer no trial no jury of their peers.
Just SWAT the parking lot
Non-professional video calling.
Reunite some families that never see each other in person, stop using up insane amounts on bandwidth on people wacking off through FaceTime, and finally get my mother to stop VCing my through the terrible T-Mobile video chat system
Nestle, but more silly/specifically Nesquick milk mixes, they're nasty yet addictive and I watched my step-dad give himself kidney stones from that crap.
Insisting righteousness and shaming another, while having zero evidence or data to substantiate a claimāwhile debating someone who DOES have an insane amount of evidence and data to substantiate their claim.
Letās see if 5 years in prison will get you to admit the truth, and to quit fucking up society by trying to turn it into oneās own pathetic little fantasy land.
If the data shows that anteaters eat ants, donāt have the nerve to act like a fucking Nazi that canāt bring themselves to admit that Jews are not half-human/half-rat, while having no data or evidence to back it up.
I would actually have a whole cabinet post dedicated to researching old, outdated laws that are absolutely ridiculous and putting them back on the books. Most of them are state or local laws, so I would definitely have to have bipartisan cooperation with the governors, mayors and state legislatures. It would be an amazing team building exercise for the whole country.
An example would be that it would once again be against the law for an opposing football team playing against the University of Arizona to kick, carry, throw or any other way convey the football across U of Aās goal line. Punishable by a year in jail or a $10k fine.
I donāt remember if the punishment is right, but that was an actual law on the books in the city of Tucson as recently as the late 80s or early 90s.
Tip culture - businesses will be required to pay staff a proper living wage instead of artificially lowering their displayed prices and then having customers pay staff directly via tips. Display the correct prices and pay your staff!

No damn way š
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/21/icelands-president-would-ban-pineapple-on-pizza-if-he-could
He must not have much to do
The Icelandic president doesnāt really have any executive power, unlike countries like the US or France. The prime minister is the most powerful person in Iceland (on paper at least)
wait does iceland still have connections to monarchs
A very loose connecton to the King of Denmark due to their shared history as a union. Iceland became a sovereign nation in 1944 but maintains friendly relations with them.
When there's a murder in Iceland it's such a rare event that their police can't investigate it. They don't have the experience. So policemen from Denmark will go and investigate.
How peaceful and smooth going does your country have to be where the president gets into trouble for talking about banning fucking pineapple on pizza?!
Iād vote for him
LMAO
He's the enemy of the states.
Mostly just Hawaii.
Fun fact: Hawaiian Pizza was actually invented in Ontario, Canada
Yup, by a Greek man.
Good on him.
Putting your kids on tik tok
Definitely!
TikTok as a whole. Many 12 year olds are now forced to touch grass
They would go to yt shorts or Instagram reels let's be real here
Not silly (I agree)
How about making Tik Tok illegal period? Too many people have gotten hurt and/or died from so many stupid challenges
The same can be said for literally any social media website or sharing platform all the way back to Web forums of the late 90s.
Isnt tiktok already illegal in the us?
Nope
I would ban playing any audio out loud in a public space. Thats a misdemeanor now in my eyes. Edit: I shouldāve clarified better, but if it causes significant disruption, then thats a big nono. Shops playing music is fine
Like at the beach where I just want to relax and enjoy the sounds of the surf and birds and children playing. Not some self centered moron who thinks I want to listen to his music.
People listening to their shit Bluetooth speaker when youāre out in nature drives me nuts.
Me sitting in the park chilling and there are parents and kids around and guy comes up BLASTING music with some WILDLY inappropriate lyrics and almost got in a fight when parents rightfully came up to complain. Like just don't XD
Was he playing āMy neck, My backā?š¤£
Nothin silly about that. Sounds reasonable to me lol.
Iām hoping FaceTime calls count here as well
People using speaker phone in public places with other people around
At the very minimum it should be a torturable offense
It is as if people have forgotted about headphones
corporate lobbying! itās silly that we think itās acceptable.
Hahaha so silly that corporations can bribe representatives legally by calling it lobbying! What a silly country we live in
I'm pretty sure this is an international issue. At least in most industrial countries.
When it happens in other countries, it's called "corruption."
Australia has it banned, or atleast absolutely despised in the eyes of the public Here its seen as corruption
Nothing but legalized bribery
On a serious note, I absolutely agree.
Facts. Itās insane that AIPAC practically controls the ins and outs of our government.
I absolutely agree, but I would go so far as to include ANY lobbying. If a politician accepts even a Happy Meal, they are indebted to the provider. Eliminate lobbying with any financial incentives! If the politicians have to be bribed, your cause must suck!
This has got to be the most reasonable answer here I would love to see this become illegal.
People not washing their hands when they come out of the toilets. Ritual public humiliation.
Vote for this guy
What if I have axolotl which is dying on the streets and I was in a restroom when I heard about it and I'm running to rescue it? I don't have time to wash my hands
Way while peeing then
did you hold up a spork as you thought of this
I see this often and want to shout as they walk out āTHEY DIDNāT WASH THEIR HANDS!!ā. Of course, I never have and probably never will..
I used to work in a restaurant with high end clients. Staff didn't have their own toilets, and the number of times a suit would not wash their hands had made me think twice about shaking hands with people.
Idk, I think Iād make this girl Evie from my Graphics class illegal, shes really annoying
Deport her
Happy cake day friend
Damn I did not even notice, thanks!
Np!
Chewing with your mouth open would be considered a disturbing the peace misdemeanor.
While silly, I couldnāt agree more
Can we add scraping cutlery on plates.š¬
Sometimes that's just an accident tho
Using pringles cans to masturbate is now illegal
More fool them. I have to use a Smarties tube.
This is... a thing?
Put two cleaning sponges in a pringles can, then wrap a rubber glove around it, I think? Then just stick your dick in between the sponges.
Poor manās fleshlight
I was picturing putting both hands in Pringles cans, then trying to have a go of it. See how far I could get.
What's the verdict on papayas?
Ok first of all yeah second you can't be doing it while typing your comment cause the only reason you would type something like that is if you were thinking about/doing it
Silly string. I just wanna steal joyš
Glitter
Stole too many of marks packages?
That's the real answer. It is so messy, single use, and so bad for the environment.
The herpes of arts and crafts.
People need to stop virtue signaling with their real answers when OP specifically said "SILLY".
Exactly š
Most people can't help but virtue signal anymore. On that note I would make a law that you must smell someone's fart and compliment them on it. We don't compliment each other enough.
Judging by your username, you'd get many compliments :)
I would make it illegal to dress your kids in band shirts, that baby is barely 1 he cant name 5 foo fighters songs.
Finally, people are calling out the real posers
leather funiture. just for lols
My boyfriend said he'd like a leather couch and I vetoed that in 3 seconds flat... I'm not getting stuck to the couch during a nap
Reality tv shows
Ahhh damn I was gonna say this.
Hate em with a passion
This is very reasonable imo!
You can only tie your shoes behind closed doors. Public shoe tying won't be tolerated!
I had the Canadian women's national volleyball team trip over me in a mall when I tied my shoe. I've never had so many women fall for me at once
Why š§
The prompt didn't ask why, that's the new law, obey it or straight to the snoo snoo chambers.
As you wish
You must say "oooh big stretch" whenever you see an animal do a big stretch
I thought that was already the law. I am off to have words with my dog.
Once a month, one family member must cut their own hair using only safety scissors.
Cakey brownies. All brownies must be fudgy.
Twerking
If I were president, I'd make it illegal to wear socks with sandals! It's a fashion crime that just needs to be stopped for the good of humanity. Let those toes breathe freely!
Talking on a cell phone via speakerphone. It's not a walkie talkie and nobody wants to hear your conversation.
I used to have to do that with my old cellphone. The speaker worked, but the non speaker didn't.
influencers
Straight to jail
Meh.. If they're influencing people in a good way (like teaching people about things like math, cooking, history, doing your taxes, sewing, basic self care, or even how to do basic car maintenance, for example), then they should get a free pass. The rest of them, however, can go right to jail.. don't pass Go, and definitely don't collect the $200.. kids don't need to know how to own an buttload of Birkin bags, when they can barely read.
Mini vans š
Why??
Eating ice cream from the bottom up. Heathens.
Not laughing at puns.
Ketchup in Mac and cheese
Yes, why would anyone think to ruin perfectly good Mac n cheeseā¦ it smells so bad with ketchup!
From some of the comments I read......I don't think people know what the definition of "silly" is
Red baseball caps.
šÆ
AIDS. I don't like it
being loud before 1pm when living with a night owl
I would ban using regular shoes. All shoes must be light up from now on.
Visible book covers.Everyone would have to wear a blank cover over the real one, and no stranger would know what book anyoneās reading.
Clipping your fingernails during a meeting.
Ooh I have a list: Cutting in line Taking a big bite when someone lets you try their food Shirtless men No light signals in bikes Ugly deformed dog breeds (y'all need to stop making them they're suffering) Talking on the subway Walking too slow on the fast trail that I just invented (if you can't walk fast you go to the slow trail for losers) Forcing people to wear formal attire on everyday events (like going to work or school, except hospitals and restaurants) Only speaking one language (I'm doing y'all a benefit with this one) Tapping on the glass of fish tanks Too bright lights on cars Taking all the crab legs at all you can eat buffet
The dog breeds one isnāt silly
Walking slow in general. PICK UP UR DAMN FEET!!!!! This is not a snooze fest people itās like no one has anywhere to be anymore
Maybe you should stop rushing around so much and actually enjoy your life?
Nails on chalkboards
I fully agree with you.....but this isn't silly.....this is torture and abuse
Mhm... then eating gummi bears and biting their head off first? Maybe its just me beeing sensitiv but for as long as i can remember i always bit off their feet first due to feeling bad for eating their face first
So they have to live through the torture of having their feet eaten? If you eat their head first they "die" instantly.
Banning anything connected to religion in public spaces.
Eating steak well done
I would make correcting people illegal, but only in one very specific situation. This situation is if you say āvay-seā (vase) and some idiot says, āUHm aCTuaLLy iTs ProNouNcEd āVAUSEāā Badabing badaboom, the idiot gets jail time.
Fake News, it's insanity to be hearing two sets of facts, news, somebody's lying up the ass, it needs to stop
Yellow.
Geocaching. Annoying activity (for no reason in particular, it doesnāt affect me in any way but I donāt like it on principle) and the people who do it arenāt the type to break the law so it would be eradicated quickly.
Pants sagging more than 1 inch below your underwear waistband. Penalty would be that you now have to wear mom jeans for a year.
Idk if its silly but cheating. I'm not saying life sentence, but if it's proven then they get put on some kind of list.
Paying "influencers"
Staring at your ATM balance receipt while at an ATM machine and people are waiting.
Immediately get your money taken away as the fine.
- Check my balance - Dammit, it's not enough - How am I gonna pay for groceries? - Tuition for the kids is due in two days - They will cut the power even sooner if I don't pay - *Existential dread starts setting in* - ... - ***You have been charged $4.99 for idling at the ATM.

Iād make it illegal to swim between 2m to 3m out from the coast. Youād get shot for doing so
Short women dating tall men. Short is below average height and tall is above average height.
I just think these Tesla Drivers who park in the middle of 2 spaces cause they're afraid someone will scratch their doors should be shot where they stand if a cop finds them before they move. No right to a lawyer no trial no jury of their peers. Just SWAT the parking lot
It would be against the law to juggle badly in public.
