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.

      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.

          Yeah, the crap car companies are pushing is dangerous. Imagine not being allowed to modify the software on your phone or computer. They are essentially arguing that.

    I would abolish toilets without bidets. You would be legally required to have a bidet in all bathrooms, private and public. Worldwide!

    Professional sports teams. I’m just sick of hearing people blather on endlessly about them and expecting me to join in.

    Bring back gladiators!

    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.

    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.

      Granted, but no hyphen.

      Henceforth, possession shall be denoted with ` and contraction shall be denoted with '. Possessive plurals shall be denoted with ``.

    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.

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

    The colour red so that way whenever somebody goes to “Red Lobster” all they see is “Lobster” on the sign.

    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.

    News outlets taking quotes from company PR/employees and including them alongside facts about reality. “Company x does something horrible, here is the data. Meanwhile, the CEO says it’s inaccurate because bs reasonexcuse.”. So much of corporate media is this, we’ve nearly lost the expectation a news outlet have any sense of responsibility outside of an easy quote from the paid company representative. Every single employee quote should come with footer “but of course this person does pay their mortgage based on saying whatever the companies needs it to to continue doing what benefits it the most so this is idiotically biased”.
