Worst Invention by Man

[Eran of Arcadia]

It is only a medium of exchange. People want what it gets - usually power, which means, usually, sex.

Besides, the Bible (James, I think?) said that it was the love of money that was the root of all evil.

No, but seriously, probably war is the worst thing. Damn monkeys and their bone clubs.

I'm pretty sure man didn't invent puberty. We don't really have much of a choice on that.

Also, mind space is mostly wasted no matter what age you are. At least girls are a relatively harmless way of doing it.

Girls are harmless? I should introduce you to some of my exes.

So you don't think people should treat each other with fairness and respect, and you don't think anyone should try to improve society...?

"Political correctness" is usually about as far from "fairness" than possible...

How can you say that? You are not in agreement with our sensitivity caucus chairman ... oops, make that chair-person ... oops, make that chair-per-offspring.

"Political correctness" is a phrase that lost all real meaning years ago. It now means whatever the speaker wants it to mean.

(Well, that is technically true of all words.)

Iron and any variation that came later. Instead of having clothes the way they are now we have to spend extra time ironing.

Yes, those nasty Hatti, forcing us to spend extra time making our nice clothes not look rumpled.

 

[Doge Soprano]

That's what you think of nice. Rumpled or ironed clothes still serve the same purpose it was intended to serve. That's like saying afro is ugly and should be straightened.

Ok fine you convinced me to change my pick. Worst invention has to be taste in 'nicely' ironed clothes.

So you have a problem with the accepted social more of looking clean and presentable?

I have no problem with it from other people. I fail to see why I should have to look, or even be clean and presentable.

I don't see people walking around with microscopes. If anything rumpled clothes tell it's that they just came out of dryer. They're clean and presentable. Unlike those people who defined the "social code" people use today, I don't have my mother, my wife or my grandmother ironing my clothes.

Real men iron their own clothes.
