If you could un-invent anything...

[WidoWanky]

What would it be?

I would say plastic. in general anyway, i would like to keep the tv! My house is full of it. Every product i buy is wrapped in it and it is going to be around for hundreds of years. It bothers me more and more.

Sometimes i would like to invent the internet - it doesnt mix well with teenagers all the time.

And takeaway coffee sometimes gets my goat!!

Any others???

People 😊

Banks (not money as such but the wholly artificial way banks manipulate the value of it)

Alcohol, untold damage to so many peoples lives and it doesn't actually taste that nice. We wouldn't have to hide the taste of it with mixers if it did.

Guns

Fast fashion

Factory farming

Narcotic drugs
Weapons of any kind
Pornography
Gambling

Social media
Mobile phones
Cold shoulder tops
24 hr news
Pulled pork

Alcohol and smoking
Online gambling
Contactless payments
Average speed cameras

They cause nowt but trouble.

Can you uninvent people?
If so, Nigel Farage.
It’s all his fault.

And chemical weapons.

Can I edit my plastic - maybe only invent recyclable / biodegradable plastic.

Can I un-invent palm oil ?

Facebook - I hate that I’m such a fucking social outcast simply because I refuse to let Zuckerberg play fas and loose with my personal data.

‘The cashless society’ - I’m turning into my mother. 😂 What exactly is the problem with paying cash?!

*fast

Sugar!

Smart phones

Poker machines, (In Australia - they are everyfuckingwhere and people are so addicted and mindless and stupid - don't get me started!). Online gambling. Plastic. Petrochemicals. Racism, Homophobia, Hate Crimes, Animal Cruelty, Elderly Abuse, Child Abuse, Spousal Abuse. Oh, and dog shedding. (Just because I'm about to vacuum the stairs.)

Smart phones. Social media.

Facebook and all similar social media
Reality tv and all the nonsense media noise generated by it
Loose Women
The One Show
Current Tory government
Cancer
Processed foods
Current funding criteria for SEN education in schools
Division within the UK and far right groups aided by aforementioned social media

The internet, ironic given my career relied on it.
Nuclear weapons.
Cancer, can I uninvent that?

Would uninvent porn too.

there's probably a similar thread wich is this but TV shows, bu can I just say I would univent Baby Jake and Bing? Just talk properly ffs

Yes!

Another vote for the big ones:
Guns
Plastic
Pestides
The pursuit of profit
Not keen on social media
24/7 access to everything is sucking the soul out of private lives

Smartphones. Even though I'm using one now. Every time I pick it up and miss an interaction with my children or DH I am annoyed and disappointed. And yet I seem unable not to do it.

Also, the news. Its depressing and full of stuff that upsets me, but I'm entirely powerless to stop or change.

Smartphones so people actually talk to each other instead of scrolling repeatedly through FB ignoring me talking to them

Social media.

Mobile phones and tablets

How funny I was just thinking about this earlier!
I would uninvent planes because I'm terrified of flying and would quite fancy catching a boat to Australia or other exciting destinations!
