Really interesting

On the plus side. Everyone would be polite, no crime, clean, tidy, no war no bullying no violence, everyone would be safe. Companies would run, banks would work, everting would be fine

However, there’s probably not be as much innovation, as much risk taking, as much creativity. What you have now might evolve but there’d probably be no new inventions or discoveries.

There would be good music but shit art.

It would be less interesting and diverse. Not just society would change, I would too. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the influence and different perspectives of all the people I have met, listened to, read their books, listened to the lyrics of their songs, watched their movies, tv shows, plays, musicals; heard their ideas, read their poetry or articles or opinions or perspectives on chat rooms or threads like this.

All the ways that people share who they are, share their stories, their life experiences is enriching.

Society would be less enriching and I would be less enriched.

There'd be a lot less speeding on the road

@RincewindsHat For me, I would raise the speed limits so we could all drive faster. But improve driving skills so it would be safe. We’d know what conditions would require slowing down, we’d understand physics and how it pertains to driving the type of vehicle on the type of road and the traffic conditions we are in.

I would love to be a race car driver 😁

Slowly with consensus.😂😂😂

AnnieSnap · 09/10/2021 02:21

We wouldn’t eat animals, we’d all avoid housework of any kind and be addicted to our IPads!

SleepQuest33 · 09/10/2021 02:23

There would be no junk food, drinks like coke wouldn’t exist due to lack of demand.
Working week would have 3 day weekends.
There would be no corruption no violence no breaking the law.
Zero drugs
But also not much risk taking and therefore some modern inventions wouldn’t exist

People would just be decent to each other. Nobody would be an arsehole.
Can't believe how many people nowadays just seem to think being an arseholes is the way to go
Also people would be educated. Or understand if not educated, listen to people who have invested time and money in becoming educated. Googling is not the same as knowing! It's important to know what you don't know

JustSinginInTheRain · 09/10/2021 02:57

Every road wide enough would have a segregated cycle lane.

Plant more trees and re forest.

Owls would set the hours of work.

Free chocolate for periods and menopause.

Shoes designed for bunions.

No tabloid newspapers.

No bonfires in gardens.

Clean well maintained public toilets.

No one would know how to reset the wifi Confused

No veganism and you'd have to have a medical certificate to be allowed to eat processed wheat and dairy alternatives (or declare yourself gluten/wheat intolerant) - which would only be sold in pharmacies with a label on the front alerting you to the crap that is actually in them.
No fast food shops of any kind.
Chocolate wouldn't exist.
You wouldn't be able to leave school until you were able to use the correct form of there/their/they're and apostrophes correctly.
No tattoos.

Unfortunately they'd be no art worth looking at, no dentists or podiatrists and no-one would be able to converse competently with any one else in a different language!

honeygriff · 09/10/2021 08:16

No one would be able to park and all parking spaces would double in size. People would't drive much as they don't really like it.

dottiedodah · 09/10/2021 08:25

Everyone would love dogs! Also be non confrontational. Would spend a lot of time mumsnetting as well. Love old churches .be needing a wee a lot !

dalrympy · 09/10/2021 08:35

There would be no dogs as pets

Notdoingthis · 09/10/2021 08:37

I'm not sure the economy would last but everyone would be fitter and own less crap.

Ingvermama · 09/10/2021 08:41

All vegetarians, kind people but who take no shit. Enjoy the outdoors and animals.

notanothertakeaway · 09/10/2021 08:49

Everyone would pay their taxes

People wouldn't have one night stands
