Things that will be better for everyone if it didn't exist.

[Scrustle]

I agree with getting rid of sleeping. That's one that's always got on my nerves. I'd also add needing to eat or just anything that the body requires to keep going. Useless faulty piece of crap. Needs constant attention and still breaks down all the time! It would be better if we could all just ignore it and get on with other stuff.

I have to add religion in as well. Don't need to explain that one.

Manufactured pop music too. You know the type. Music that's created and performed by a computer, but has a "pretty" person with a face photoshopped to oblivion on the front of it as the "artist" that exists for no other reason than to create money. All of that can just go away.

Me . I have done nothig note worthy and iv'e caused so much pain to people i think they be better off without me. /disapesr

On a less depressig note , sleep is a good one . How about monogamy ? No more jelousy and divorces no more people being possesive . Just be free to have a good time with whoever you want.

Facebook.

That's really all I could think of.

Ah, you're posting normally again

Seriously though, without QP we wouldn't have so much bullshit like randomness and infinites and whatever out of the wazoo!

ZOOP ZOP ZIPPIDY DOP WOOBYY WOBBA WOP

*From a book"

"So yeah there's like, lots of shit about QP and we don't even know what we're doing and everything you learned is wrong and right and yeah, electrons are travelling back and forward in time and infinite no.s of virtual particles ar-"

Yes, I had a little encounter with alcohol yesterday. Mix in Escapist, and you have pure entertainment!
But really, QP is being hyped up in popular culture. Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense, with quantum tunneling, particle-wave duality, quantum particle pairs, the uncertainty principle, etc. But trust me, it all checks out. This stuff is all happening, and it's fucking weird. And since it's so weird and unintuitive, it's gotten a stigma of not being real and just "make-believe" by physicist.

Just nuke it or something. All it does is take money and water and make them disappear.

Caramel wagon wheels. Jammy wagon wheels are the pinnacle of the biscuit world, you could never produce a better wagon wheel. Let alone the abomination that is the caramel wagon wheel.

 

[Esoomspark]

Yeah, i'm going to go with everyone else and say religion.

 

[Eddie the head]

I think I saw a Twilight zone episode like this or Star Trek or both. Anyway the point was that's impossible to quantify. And I don't want to make a choice that could change millions if not billions of peoples life's.

Yeah, i'm going to go with everyone else and say religion.

Not so much it kind of helped unify England in the dark ages, and it it never happens the world powers could be complacently different. And you just can't say if say Brazil was a larger wold power then say England if that's inherently good or not.

Roaches. They serve no purpose but to scare the fuck out of me and be gross. BURN THEM ALL

 

[Pinkamena]

It all checks out but there is tons they cannot explain and haven't worked out yet, Uh huh.

Now, this book was 20-30 odd years old but one of the things it said was a set of equations (don't know if they are famous or what) ended up just spiraling off as it always produced infinities where there shouldn't be any.

The solution? Ignore them as if they weren't there. Come on, that doesn't check out.

This was the book.

I haven't read it, so I don't know what sort of equations is in question. But I know that the book is popular science, and should be taken with a grain of salt. QP will often be portrayed in a sensational way, and I guess that this "spiraling infinity" is a product of that.

Agree with sleep. That's such a deep answer actually. We spend like a third of our lives doing absolutely nothing. Imagine if we could get all the sleep we need within say a four hour period once every two or three days or something. We could work for longer and have more leisure time all in one. The world would be a richer place.

Question! What is this? [sub]TNSA[/sub](Enlarged for more visibility) It doesn't quite seem to belong and I got curious.

OT: I would say the TV show Cops, because as far as I know, it's the reason we have all the reality shows currently.

 

[deathzero021]

Death. Obvious first answer, we humans disappear from this planet, simply ceasing to exist, after a pitiful hundred years if we're lucky. It's horrifying how many people tend to disagree with this, there's nothing good about it that even remotely compares with the obvious bad.

have you thought about over population as a massive problem?

i'll go with Cancer and AIDS. also rapists and murderers, i just hate those people.

High fructose corn syrup. It is the bane of American health. It's the primary reason so many of us are fatasses - this indigestable sugary goop that we put in EVERYTHING!

I think this was the thing in question, "Renormalisation".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization

Oh yeah. That. There are sometimes inconsistencies between what is expected to happen, and what actually happens. QP is good at describing what happens on the tiniest of scales, but when the distances become a bit large, it starts unraveling and renormalization is needed. QP is still being developed, and is by far a complete theory, but it works pretty well, and can describe many of the strange effects we observe in particle interactions. It is a rather interesting subject to be honest.

Computer viruses becuase they don't do anything good, they just screw with your computer until it's destroyed.

 

[FalloutJack]

I personally choose the need for Humans to sleep. Imagine how many more hours we can be productive (or recreate) each day.

I read a book called Beggars In Spain that probably ranks a good argument against the idea.

OT: Let's just remove Bob Dylan, Yoko Ono, and all other nails across the chalkboard...and save our senses.

Oh, and stink bugs. They're worthless.
