don't go in a space shuttle
As awesome as it was in concept, that thing was a safety nightmare from the very beginning. With every other manned spacecraft if something goes wrong during launch you can blast off and land the capsule safely in the ocean, but with the shuttle there were large portions of the ascent and descent profiles where, if something went wrong, you were going too fast to turn around but too slow to make it to space so you were just hosed.
I tried to think of a second rec that's also vegan friendly and came up short. Could be an interesting story - isekai'd into a world where you're expected to hunt monsters, but you reject the premise and become a high fantasy Steve Irwin protecting endangered magical creatures instead.
You know, even when I was a kid I thought Magneto's plan in the first X-Men movie to turn everyone into mutants was fucking baller and they should have let him do it. Just 'cause that one guy turned into a water monster doesn't mean that would be the default - the X gene expresses way differently in everyone who has it.
An no, I don't think giving every human the X gene constitutes genocide, that's fucking stupid.
Shot by a rental cop in a fucking Walgreens. You could burn every Walgreens in this country to the fucking ground and it would still be less of a loss than a single person's life.
I've had this idea for ages about someone who goes back to like 1000 AD and tries to introduce germ theory, disinfecting surfaces and medical devices with alcohol, etc. The conflict comes from them having to overcome medieval institutions being resistant to change, starting with them naively writing a treatise on what is currently considered medical common sense but getting rebuked for apparently not knowing what they're talking about.
Naturally, the main character wears a cute version of a plague doctor outfit.
Actually, Marxists should let capitalists do all the bad things and never oppose them.

The original X-Men trilogy was pretty good slop. It was before all of the personality had been sandblasted off of superhero films and you could cold open with a scene at a Nazi concentration camp.
Critical support for people taking as much money as they can from the US Government.
And the ones that didn't were frequently grabbed by cops (who had been slave catchers before the war) for the recently-invented crimes of vagrancy and loitering and sent to prison-plantations.

I remember when I was a teen a news story about malls playing a high pitched sound that old people couldn't hear in order to annoy teens into leaving was going around. Never encountered it myself though.
