A friend of mine has a wall mounted TV with a terrible design. The HDMI ports are on the back of the TV, meaning since it's wall mounted they aren't easily accessible. However there is a USB port on the side. So I'm hoping to be able to connect an HDMI cable to the USB port. Is there a converter that works for TV's that would allow me to use the USB port for the HDMI cable. Thanks.

No... just get some 1 foot HDMI extender cables, and that will do. The USB port on a TV is for playing .MP4 videos from cameras, and updating the TV's firmware.
I'm not sure if you're quite understanding what I'm saying. The length of the HDMI cable is sufficient. The problem is accessing the HDMI port, as they're rather high on the TV. And due to the TV being wall mounted it's not accessible very easily. All TV's really should have at least one HDMI port on the side, due to wall mounting.
That's why you'd get the extension cables...

I think the idea is you'd use an extension cable and tape one end to the side of the TV so you can access it easily.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
