If You Could Uninvent One Thing
Ask a Question
f you could uninvent one thing what would it be and why? im going to assume we agree already on things that are intentionally built to hurt others.......
Lynibis Blimey, I reckon those stars and stripes pants should go on the list too 
blacklabrador Lynibis wowser that has brought on a whole new phobia i didnt realise I had room for 
on the plus you cant even see where they have covered Trumps head over with the fellow from the 118 adds- nice job gif guys 
..... 
If I can give up sugar I am sure you can give up ciggies lol. Look at it this way......20 a day @£10 a pack = £70 per week, £300 per month. That would pay my gas, electric, council tax, sky, water and mobile......all my direct debits lol. Hope you see this as encouragement rather than a lecture but I feel you are quite young so imagine all that money over the years to come. £3,600 per year, £36,000 per decade. And the health benefits?
Lynibis i buy tobacco cheap off someone that goes abroad a lot so probably only costs me about £10 a week. If i was paying £10 a day i would of given up long ago. I do vape aswell but i will swotch back and forth between the 2 Will probably switch back to vaping soon though as apparently all menthol filter will be banned in May 
Everytime ive given up my wife never does and its so tempting when she is smoking by me, she wont smoke if she cant have menthol though. We are also in process of renovating our house and having new furniture so wont want to smoke then anyway. Hopefully by next year we will both be smoke free and healthier.
That's really good to hear KirsteyJames. My lecturing granny post was purely out of regard for your health. I can't stand to think of folk sucking in noxious smoke into their lungs lol.
KirsteyJames good luck missus you can do it addiction is hard but once you crack it you will feel a million bucks xx
Auto tune. Either you can sing or you can't. No cheating. It has ruined pop music in many ways as now untalented people who look good make records instead of talented ones.
Love Island? Also, i'm asking for a friend here, can you uninvent a person?
Yes!!! I would get rid of Love Island and Ex on the beach, these kinds of reality shows are just for fame hungry people!
AliceBell64468 MichelleKe42857 my god finally I have found my people.....haha seriously though i just cant see even entertainment factor in them.
OneeyedRaven lol! Yeah I know, it is not what I would call entertainment... I can’t believe it is so popular!
I would univent the Internet sadly no one ever t as lks no more unless they reading to talk plus its caused so much stress and emotion on people I wouldn't care less if never had it or all the TV channels just talk like we are meant too
Think of all the deals we wouldn't be getting though... It's not even worth thinking about!
And... this thread wouldn't even exist. So if this was a thread of wishes that were granted, there would be a paradox.
MeestairChrees Ann1984 im finding a fence to perch on......i can see both sides and I think its like most things when it encroaches on or replaces real life experiences then its gotta go, but sprinkled on these life experiences can be wonderful
OneeyedRaven I think for sure it has not helped with being able to socialise in real life for example. But it has also added so much convenience, plus the ability to communicate very easily with people we wouldn't normally be able.
I'll go with intrusive internet data gathering for targeted advertising, political campaigning, etc 
Social media. I think it's taken people's common sense away and created a bunch of attention seeking drama queens. I daily see a cryptic message followed by the "what's up Hun?" then "I'll message you" I really don't care. Also inspirational quotes like "Today is another day, you're one day closer to snuffing it, anon"
I was going to say Social Media for the exact reasons you stated. I had to come off FB a while ago as couldnt stand the narcism anymore & my opinions of people I liked were changing because of idiotic things being posted. I had a relative who I'd always thought rather highly of, start posting offensive unfactual racist posts about imagrints....that was final straw! Also I dont care what someone is having for there breakfast / lunch etc & dont need to see a pic of it. Zzzzz!
Nuclear weapons although I suspect in their absence we will end up with more conventional wars.
I'd un-invent the "duck face" that kids put on to have photos taken of them selves. Seriously, it's not nice and it makes them look ugly, so why do it? These kids have lovely faces, why spoil it looking like you are sucking a lemon?
Lynibis See you have hit the nail on the head there. The card for Amanda Bynes says her effect is "Trainwreck"! I could not have put it better myself. lolol.
DannySpeed and Lynibis I'm with you on this one - it's getting to the stage where everybody pouts for a picture. Only problem is when they imagine it looks beautiful, I can only see this....
Lynibis why planes? I can understand the first two, but you don't want to travel or allow others?
MeestairChrees If there were no planes, people could not drop bombs on others, travel would be restricted to boats and trains and diseases would spread less easily........coronavirus.
Lynibis you already uninvented bombs, so planes can't be used to drop them. Diseases spread very easily with just boats hundreds of years ago. All you're doing is preventing convenience for no reason.
MeestairChrees Oh Dear, sorry I was not taking it as seriously as you so I didn't sit and work out whether one would preclude the other, just three things off the top of my head I would like uninvented. After all planes are also contributing big time to the ruination of the environment.
Chopsticks. Nowhere near as practical as a fork and spoon, but still used by millions. Why?
Mine would be alcohol, I don't think uninventing guns would work as people need them to live in other parts of the world to kill there food, don't jump on me for saying that 
Mobile phones. Most people can't stop looking at them and conversation has died 
not that I'm a chatterbox myself, far from it. I also believe that because of mobile phones chiropractors are never going to be out of work with all those sore necks! 
Plastics. We managed perfectly well before it's invention. We had cleaner oceans, less litter, smaller hole in the ozone layer, richer earth and stomachs of some animal species were less full of it
Motor bikes! When driving down the motorway you’ll always get them whizzing down the middle of the traffic. They don’t wait in line like everyone else has to and never drive in a lane. Apparently we have to think bike for them, even though they pretty much don’t follow the Highway Code. I’m not saying everyone drives like this... just the majority.
Not a fan!
I'd uninvent see through leggings, now I wear leggings (alot) but I see so many ladies in leggings leaving not much to the imagination because they are so see through. It's not a good look!
