What do you wish had never been invented?

For me it’s things like guns/bombs/auto rifles and stuff like that.

Killing someone with a sword or knife is one thing (back in ancient times). You actually had to get your hands dirty and it could make people reconsider but guns? One pull of a trigger and you can kill many in a blink of an eye without thinking twice

Social media. In particular algorithms. I would say Internet but I think the Internet technology has helped us in some ways but the use of the smart phones and constant movement to apps has no advantage that I can see. This week I had to download an app to park my car, what advantage is that. I have apps to pay for activities for my kids because i have to. A few years ago cash in a parking meter or in an envelope was working well, why on earth change it all. Who is benefitting now?

without men, everything mentioned in this thread would be solved quickly, as the human race would stop 😂

Facebook

Every thing after 1996.

Cigarettes.

Unrestricted, unregulated, universally available social media and damaging internet content.

Sweets, then I'd be a lot slimmer 😜

Irons. We could all be walking around in crumpled clothes and be no worse off.

Religion

Onedrive

Yes I guess overall that is a better answer than irons.

Gender ideology 🙄

Irons don’t exist in my world 😁

Apart from the obvious e.g. guns and bombs etc. I wish crisps never existed, mainly because I have no self control…

Money

The speaker/handsfree function on phones

Fireworks

The Covid vaccine.

Pronouns being trendy.
She her
He him
That's plenty

Bombs/guns and similar types of weapons.

The Internet or more specifically, social media.

Plastic
Trump

Right to Buy council properties

Surrogacy

Only Fans

Electric bloody scooters

Influencers

Abortion and pornography.

The internet, I think without it he wouldn’t be where he is.

Air con, I cannot stand it. Open the bloody windows and let fresh air in but don't blast me with cold air! It's my one and only complaint at work.

As per my username...I completely agree 👍
