19 Things the World would be a Better Place Without
2.
Reality TV - Often faked and scripted, it glamorizes the worst kinds of behavior and the general public eats it up.
4.
Companies taking 3-5 days to put money back into my account even though you took it instantly.
5.
Landmines. I'll tell you why:They render large tracts of land completely unusableThey are expensive and difficult to remove safely because there is seldom documentation of where they are placedThey are cheap, plentiful, easy to place, and deadlyThey kill/maim livestock and wild animalsThey kill/maim innocent people decades after conflicts have ended. Many times the victims are children because they can't read or don't understand warning signs
7.
Seafloor trawling...It destroys the habitant of fish just so we can squeeze every bit of a fish from an area...
8.
Unpaid overtime - companies just expecting you to go the extra mile, all the time, with no compensation.
9.
Devices meant to break after a short period of time, and devices that purposely have parts you can't replace.
10.
Cookie pop-ups. How come we still don't have a more efficient way to manage our browsing privacy.
15.
The Polygraph machine. Super innaccurate and I believe even the inventor curses its existance.
16.
Fast fashion. I can’t imagine the amount of cheap, tacky clothes just mountains in landfills.
19.
Auto play videos, especially in non video streaming websites. NOBODY asked for them, yet so much work is getting put into making it a web standard. Just f*****g stop
20.
Ads on streaming services that I F*****G pay for. You don’t need revenue, Hulu, that’s what my subscription is!
21.
Drug commercials. F**k me, your average joe, making drug recommendations TO MY DOCTOR - who spent 10+ years studying and working to be in the position.
22.
Pop up ads. Not only are they so annoying but can either scam or install malware on the devices of unsuspecting people
24.
Social media. Addictive, dehumanizing, causes depression, promotes terrible behavior, actively reduces our capacity to have real human connections.
25.
LED advertising They're too f*****g bright and now they're putting mini screens on trucks that drive around town and it pisses me off. There's already enough distraction on the road.I miss the billboards that had the rotating panels. Those were cool
26.
Twitter.Edit: Because Twitter is mainly a cesspool of hypocrisy and politics. I've honestly never seen so many "non descriminatory self appointed puritains" be so incredibly hateful due to someone not having the exact same opinion as them
31.
Anyone ever seen that “as seen on TV” ad of the golf club you p**s in? I feel like that’d be a good contender for this
32.
Delivery Fees that the company keeps - The drivers use their own cars and pay for their own gas, and they sure as hell aren't getting any of that $5.
33.
40+ hour work weeks - The technological improvements should have made it so we could have a more leisurely society where we could dedicate less of our lives to pointless work, not so they could increase profits indefinitely for the business owners while we spend all our waking hours on labor that doesn’t even need doing at this point.
35.
Social media "Influencers". Seriously, who's bought a product just because some celebrity did / peddles it?
36.
Shark fin soup - Tens of millions of sharks are killed every year for their fins that offer little nutritional value and serve no purpose outside of being a status symbol
38.
YouTube "endscreens" (or "endcards") that often block content at the end of the video you're watching.
39.
"Smart" devices. No LG, i don't want to download an app to use my f*****g washing machine, i want to wash my clothes ffs
