Digital billboards. That degree of rapid pace advertising is toxic, also those fuckers are bright AF.

I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces
I would extend this as well to solicitors.
Regional locks.
Why the fuck can't I watch first 2 seasons and last 2 seasons of an anime on crunychroll sony? Why the fuck can't I register your accounts to my country sony? Why the fuck can't I buy your games on steam in my country sony? Why the fuck can't I listen to your music on my streaming subscription, sony?
There is no reason for this shit to exist.
People saying “blog” when they mean post. You did not write a new blog on your blog, you wrote a new post on your blog.
You do not drive your car on the car. You drive your car on the road.
Do people still have blogs?
Totally. Whole businesses have sprung up for running and monetizing them. Check into Ghost, WordPress and WooCommerce, Memberful. Lots of other options.

Is it by magical means? Then name calling, mostly to watch Trump deal with it.
No more internet gaming, all multiplayer gaming must be local, so that you can actually get your dumb ass up from the chair and punch (or be punched) by others, like our ancestors intended.
The 9/10 extension on gasoline pricing.
When this fuel was 13¢ per gallon, sure some folks might want to compete with finer-grained pricing.
It's time to drop that pretense
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.
I think if you buy something, and you modify it to provide subscription services without being subscribed, it should be legal.
Example, that stupid Mercedes where they charge a fee for the heated seats. If you flash your own software on the car that allows heated seats, it should totally be legal to do so.
Anybody else owning cats. Then I can have all the cats. 🐱 🐈
Unless it was part of it, multiple levels of packaging.
Open up a bag of chips. It's bag, then chips. Perfect world.
Open up a box of cookies from hell. Open up the box. Open up the freshness seal bag. Pull out the individually wrapped cookies, and open those too.
Straight to jail. No question.
I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!
It's ubiquitous in Vietnam, is it not where you live??
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.
We have this arcade/bar that was designed for and advertised as a place for adults. There are like 5 other arcade places nearby that are advertised as family friendly. And yet, they keep bringing their kids to the arcade bar. Why. Just why.
Unfortunately most people on Lemmy are extremely serious people.
Yes! I do not understand children in breweries. It seems like irresponsible parenting to me. Taking your kid with you to a place not meant for them, while you drink, and then getting into your car and driving your kid home after?
Just go have a beer at home ffs, and don't subject me to your kid running around like a... Kid.

The need to pee at night.
Billionaires.
Also, the propagation of the idea that you are poor because of the actions of even poorer people.
The ability for human beings to advance scientific knowledge further than it currently exists.
Something needs to protect the rest of the galaxy from us.
Ah, the Amish Philosophy.
Pick a time period and stick to it like it's a moral virtue
LOL, the Amish Philosophy.
Nothing so crude. I simply think it’s better for the universe if we don’t propagate it, because we’re not a good enough example for other species to follow yet. It’s not about respecting “God’s” law so much as acknowledging humanity’s limitations. We’re a pathetic species, not ready for rulership over multiple planets, let alone multiple solar systems. My comment simply suggests I don’t have confidence we ever will be. This has nothing to do with the Amish belief that we’re better in a simplistic state; just that the universe is better without us in whatever state.

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.
OP said 'humorously' not 'to make the world a better place.'
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.
Teenagers. Just ship 'em off somewhere between the ages of 13 and 18. Pouty, Self-entitled, disrespectful shits.
That is an incredebly cruel thing to say about developmentally challenged people.
Maybe they are like that because we already ship them off to indoctrination camps between ages 7-13.
The now ultra-common usage of "whenever", when they actually mean "when".
I can't fucking stand it. But it's everywhere now. I have no idea how it got so common but I'm surrounded by people who use it incorrectly.
I wonder if I’m using it incorrectly now.
We can go to the cinema whenever you like.
That is how I would use it. And I would use when like, when did you go to the cinema?

Professional sports teams. I'm just sick of hearing people blather on endlessly about them and expecting me to join in.
Bring back gladiators!
