    For me social media such as facebook, and mobile phones are a close second, its so hard to get a moments peace these days,

    NO I DONT WANT TO LOOK AT A PICTURE OF YOUR DINNER BAAAAHHHHHHH!!!



    TLDR, Less instagram of your dinner, more summer bikini pics


    So, which technologies or inventions would you rather have been not invented, if a device to make those things that were invented to stop the inventions being invented?

    Religion.

    Religion is the WORST thing that has ever happened to this world; Countless Billions of souls have been damned by false religion

    Excessive Credit. Honestly, if we could only live within our means, the world would be a much better place. Even for myself, I took out loans for things I didnt 100% need.

    This malarkey of giving out mortgages and loans left, right and centre during "the boom" was insanity.

    How about the concept of possessions and attainment altogether?

    I'm off them two years, and I still sometimes miss my breath at night at think I will choke to death, scary as ****. And I still miss the bastards.

    If there are any kids reading this I offer this advice, don't smoke. If I find out you are smoking I will personally strangle you to death.

    I wish beer was never invented.

    I wish i could make myself translucent and negative matter to melt through the concrete of an off-license and grab a big load of beer. All that beer locked away in the pubs and off-licenses all alone screaming for me to drink them makes me sad. :(

    Credit, currency, the whole Idea of capitalism really. It's bonkers when you think about it. It's basically bluffing and no one ever calling you on it.

    Saying that, I can't think of anything that'd work any better.

    Damn right.

    Stupid aspirin and paracetamol users, with their whinging; "Oww me headache" or "Oww me period". Man up and bite down on a piece of wood to blot out the pain, just like ThreeLineWhip probably does.

    Or those whingers who'll tell you "But I'm having invasive surgery". Don't believe them, they're only in it for the drugs.

    Bus lanes are open to civil traffic 7pm to 7am. Some include 10am to 12am. Says so on the signs. Methinks you dislike rush (three) hour(s) and the paradigm that advocates it.

    Bottlenecks....they suck. Analogous bottlenecks of missmanaged resources Actual bottlenecks not so bad.
