Our society changes and evolves, and things that were normal until recently might become illegal tomorrow. These restrictions may feel odd to the first generation, but after two or three generations, they become routine behavior, and it will be like these things were never allowed.

Just think of the seat-belts, bikes and helmets, drinking and driving… Of course, some people don’t comply with these rules, but they’re now an exception.

Reddit users share their thoughts on what will be illegal in 25 years, and we have chosen some of the most interesting predictions. Take a look, maybe you will agree with some of them.

1. Not vaccinating your kids.

“Not choosing to vaccinate your kids thanks to the great plague of 2034.”

2. Butt wipes. Really?

“The butt wipes everyone started using. They don’t dissolve like they’re supposed to, and have quickly become the leading cause of sewer clogs. Many local sewer districts want them banned.’

3. Trendy dogs.

“Any of those brachycephalic dogs. French bulldogs are so trendy right now and they just have awful quality of life.”

4. Online anonymity

I do have to ask about the people saying “anonymity online”.

“I don’t disagree, per se, but I can’t see a possibility where any govt. could pull off that shit and get away with it.”

5. Very likely.

“Not using recyclables, such as grocery bags.”

6. Lock it all!

“Spoofing CallerID. I believe people will revolt the more spam calls starts annoying the hell out of us to demand the phone companies lock down their caller ID system.”

7. Artificial Intelligence

“I sincerely hope that using AI to analyze your online activity and create a portrait of who you are will be regulated. AI is scary good at it and it can do a lot more damage than just tailoring ads.”

8. We want good quality.

“Making intentionally shitty, essential products that break after a year so it forces you to buy another one.”

9. That would kill politics. Do it!

“Orginizations being able to dump millions of dollars into political campaigns”

10. Can this really happen?

“OTC codeine preparations will become illegal and some people will switch to illegal opioids that are more than 10X stronger.​

Other medications might also become more restricted and become prescription only. Some might just disappear because doctors will prescribe something stronger if people are going to the doctors for it.”

11. No more!

“Toddler beauty pageants. God I hope so.”

12. Abandon your anonymity here…

“Internet anonymity. Something like tor that goes through other notes in other countries or masking your IP as somewhere else.”

13. LED headlights can be irritating…

“Super bright car LED headlights.

Why do we need the light output of a white dwarf for a fucking car, you only need to illuminate a part of the road, not the entire surroundings plus the town 10 miles away, while burning the retinas out of my eyeholes.”

14. Everyone deserves education.

“Inflated college tuitions. I think this is something people are going to fight in years to come.”

15. Predatory student loans.

“Predatory student loans. I will never escape mine because I was 17 when I decided it was totally the right decision to take out 100k in private student loans to pay for undergrad. I was a gifted rural kid with a family of high school graduates who had no idea how to navigate the system, and now I owe Sallie Mae my life, forever, so that I could get a sociology degree.

I made the decision, but choosing to loan to me was predation, and I don’t think this will be legal after the next couple of presidencies.”
