1.
Landmines -
2.
Algorithmic Social Media. MySpace was fine, no algorithm, no extremes. FB, Twitter, etc, the algorithm to show you more of what you like leads people into an echo chamber and causes polarization of people's views, helping dehumanize each other. -
3.
Cigarettes. They never should have been made. -
4.
Keepin up with the kardashians -
5.
Single use plastic. Particles have been found in every corner of the earth and ocean, as well as in human and animal embryos. Most of these break down into toxic compounds and will have long-term physical and chemical impacts. -
6.
Chemical Warfare While nukes are horrible beyond imagination, humanity learned to avoid them as a way to ensure their own survival, it's wise, but egoistical nonetheless. Chemical weapons on the other hand traumatized the f**k out of the survirvors and the ones who called the attacks and got to see the aftermath. They were so horrible that many soldiers deserted after using it and many went mad. I wish never having to see the skin melting off in the face of a barely alive toddler. Throughout the last century we successfully banned almost all of those - the 1925 geneva protocol, the 1980 chemical weapons convention, among others, but I'm afraid when the next generations start to forget the horrors of chemical warfare, it will resurface in the likes of whats happening with fascism. -

Child beauty pageant events -
8.
social media. never before was it so essy for stupid people to find like minded other stupid people and suddenly 'have a voice'. also, people have no social skills anymore. -
9.
Religion. Kills so many people and gives so many more the excuse to be hateful people. -
10.
Fake "x" on ads -
11.
For profit prisons. -
12.
Subscription services to anything in a vehicle that is already built into it. Oh your car seats have a seat warmer built in? That's a subscription to use despite just spending $30,000 on the car and the equipment was installed at the factory. -
13.
Styrofoam is pretty abominable in my book, especially for things like takeout food that’s destined for the trash within minutes of use -
14.
Pop-up ads -
15.
Nuclear weapons -
16.
Unskippable ads -

That plastic childproof packaging that no one knows how to open so we cut it with scissors and still somehow manage to cut ourselves from it. -
18.
Bioweapons. When nature is adapt enought to create toxins and poisons to kill humans we always, for some f*****g reason have to create something *more* horrible. -
19.
Serious answer: chemical toxins that have caused severe health problems Personal answer: Hp printers. F*****g piece of s**t. -

This will be a hot take, but hear me out- cars. They kill 40,000 people in the US every year, They are the reason most cities here are unwalkable, which is a huge factor leading to obesity and heart disease (so add many more thousands to the death toll indirectly), They are the least efficient, least safe, most expensive way for people to commute, They chew through fossil fuels and other valuable resources in droves, They raise the price of engaging with society by thousands of dollars between the initial cost, fuel costs and repair costs, And they turn otherwise reasonable people into raging, belligerent a******s. -
29.
That little “press to open” tab on Kraft Mac n cheese boxes. That has been an effective way of opening those boxes exactly zero times. -
