Beaming technology, as well as time travel capability would be nice.

But one I have thought of a lot; A pill men could take that would STOP beard growth. I hate shaving.

Nope, I want all those people (and more) to keep going to theme parks so I get the woods and parks to myself!

As for me, I'd invent a brass magnet.

What happened to L-sugar (left-handed sugar)? Are there any health issues with it? Why can't I buy it at my local grocery store?

Great answer so far - it's too expensive relative to other low-calorie sweeteners. Another big perk is that is has the same physical properties as D-glucose, so you could use it for baking, for ice cream, for applications where you want identical browning and structural properties compared to standard sugar.

But, since your body can't digest it, it just passes through. Great for low calorie, high fiber diet, but bad for diarrhea if you eat too much.

Cure for cancer or a cure for Alzheimers Disease.

Or to be more light-hearted, an electronic or simple chemical means of getting to sleep and staying asleep that was 100% safe and reliable.

I'm going to cross chickens with oysters. I'll grow them in a vat of nutrient broth (I don't think they'll need shells). So it'll just be a big lump of boneless chicken meat and organs.

Saves time and energy making chicken tenders, since there's no bones to strip the meat off of...
