A collision-zone toy
Treat It LikeWhat if your everyday snag worked like a far-off system?
Pick one everyday thing that keeps going wrong and crash it into something it has nothing to do with: a library, a beehive, air-traffic control. Each snag meets one part of that system. Some ideas stick, some spark, some fizzle. The pairing and the rink are free, in your browser.
1 The thing and its snags free
A snag is one thing that keeps going wrong. The page guesses its job; change it if the guess is off.
2 The far-off system free
3 The rink free
Not lined up
4 Run the collision
One run writes each collision: what carries over, a first small try and where the comparison breaks, then the contact and what it taught. The pairing stays as the page set it.

How the page decides
Jobs. Every snag and every part does one of eight jobs: sort (things get mixed up), find (things cannot be found), wait (things queue or clash), remember (things get forgotten), share (nobody knows whose or who), fit (not enough room), reset (things never go back) and check (mistakes slip through). The page guesses a snag's job from its words, most keyword hits winning and ties going to the earlier job in that list; you can always pick it yourself.
The aim. Your own aims come first. Then each snag takes the first part of the system that does its job and is still free (or the first such part, if all are taken). A snag with no part doing its job takes the first part still free, and the jobs differ.
The verdicts, first match wins. Jobs differ: fizzles. The part needs something that is not on hand: sparks. Otherwise: sticks. The run judges only whether what is on hand meets a part's need; a part that needs nothing always meets it, and with nothing on hand a need is never met.
The contact. Every collision fizzles: clean miss. None fizzles and at least one sticks: solid hit. Otherwise: glancing blow. The best bump is the first collision that sticks, else the first that sparks. On a miss the page names deck systems whose parts do every job your snags need.
Playful suggestions, not professional advice. Keep doors, exits, vents and appliances clear, leave wiring and plumbing alone, and for food go by its label and the usual safety advice.
