This may or may not be inspired by the nebula original abolish everything, a show I have not watched.

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

[–] Twoafros@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces

[–] DerArzt@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I would extend this as well to solicitors.

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.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Do people still have blogs?

[–] InfiniteHench@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Totally. Whole businesses have sprung up for running and monetizing them. Check into Ghost, WordPress and WooCommerce, Memberful. Lots of other options.

Blimey I thought it was entirely social media.

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.

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

Is it by magical means? Then name calling, mostly to watch Trump deal with it.

Anybody else owning cats. Then I can have all the cats. 🐱 🐈

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.

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.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That’s an interesting thought

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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!

It's ubiquitous in Vietnam, is it not where you live??

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Billionaires.

Also, the propagation of the idea that you are poor because of the actions of even poorer people.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Bring back gladiators!

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.

[–] crayolaswift@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

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.

As someone who works in booze your kids do not belong in my workplaces.
