This may or may not be inspired by the nebula original abolish everything, a show I have not watched.
I would like to abolish subscription fees for most items that really shouldn’t have subscription fees. If you bought the item, it should be yours. That’s the point of buying the item.
The stock market.
I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!
corporate fucking personhood. not that it exists but the friggin false idea that it should and any belief system that lead or may ever lead to it.
Video tutorials without captions/instead of text. I don’t want to watch someone fumble through over 30 minutes what I can skim in 5.
Billionaires.
Also, the propagation of the idea that you are poor because of the actions of even poorer people.
Professional sports teams. I’m just sick of hearing people blather on endlessly about them and expecting me to join in.
Bring back gladiators!
Its the drawn out bullshit that I have no patience for, its a midseason game between two teams who arent going to make the finals… calm the fuck down.
The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…
It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.
It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.
To be honest I think we could just ditch the apostrophe in contractions altogether. I cant think of a situation in which itd make anything less clear. At worst there are perhaps uses of the fairly rare non-contraction verb “cant” that wouldn’t be immediately clear
I’d be cool with that - I don’t care how we mark contractions just as long as we stop reusing apostrophes for it.
It-s
Thanks I hate it. Also wouldn’t the “it’s” be ‘its’ without apostrophe at all?
Eh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for “There’s a contraction here” I don’t really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample
It-swould currently be writtenIt'sand theit's(a possessive) would beitsif that’s what you’re asking.Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I’m proposing we fix that. Also - let’s bring back mass possessions like “At the bake sale Moms’ baked goods are always delicious”
Ban streaming services from advertising they have something on their platform and when you go to it, you realize you need to pay for an add-on subscription.
Money in politics.
Everyone here being so serious.
Children in breweries. Fine, fine at least keeping the sanctity of 21 and over areas of breweries. When did breweries become a family affair? How come every place has to become a family friendly place, why can’t we have just a few adults only places?
No matter what I get some child screaming while I’m trying to enjoy a beer. And every parent will say “well where are they supposed to go” and my answer is always “literally anywhere else”. Everywhere is okay with kids. And then others will say “well mine are great” which I would say I don’t care, but other parents don’t care and ruin it for the rest. So if I got to abolish anything, it’s be kids in breweries.

At a brewery? What? Why?
Black licorice. Don’t even try to tell me that shit is candy. It tastes like some horrible byproduct of an outdated process for manufacturing tires.
Yeah I’m gonna have to abolish your comment for that, black licorice is amazing.
But have you tried making it extremely salty?

What good has it fucking done us

The word ‘literally’.
It’s been abused and needs to now just die.
Additionally, anyone uttering that word must be slapped by everyone who hears it.
Literally slapped?
