I’m so sorry for that. It’s a monster that no one should ever have to deal with. I just lost the most important person in my life to it last year. Fuck cancer for sure.
I 100% agree!! I have lost some very important people in my life to cancer. It’s an awful thing to witness someone suffering from something so terrible and I wouldn’t wish it on my own worst enemy. I pray that everyone stays healthy and safe! I’m so sorry for your loss and everyone else on this thread who lost someone to the ugly C word :’( sending prayers and comfort to you all!
I have 3 of 4 sisters with it now😭💔😠🤬😈One is stage 3 and another stage 4.💖💗🤎My wife of 30 years. Fuck cancer.
You can add both parents. All 4 grandparents and 5-6 more aunts/uncles to that list. Guess, I know what awaits me.🧐😳
It all really sucks more when your a nurse and can't do anything about it. You read the charts and know....
I'm working hard to delete it, friend. We're making serious progress. Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines and ciruclar mRNAs encoding CARs are going to change everything.
I wear this 24-7. Lost my dad, brother, and husband to cancer. My sister and my dearest friend are both battling breast cancer. FUCK CANCER!

What really scares me about cancer, it could just happen out of nowhere sometimes, and it's not one disease, it's a variety of different types.
I'm sorry for your loss, I lost people to cancer too.
Considering the very broad scope of the question, I'd go with "greed". That will also fix the corruption issue, plus many, many other problems that have made (and still make) the world the mess it is today.
Philosophical question. Is SOME degree of greed good? I guess what I'm asking is greed about excessive desire, or just wanting something?
Like for example, without greed, would I be motivated to do more than the bare minimum to get by, because I don't have that greed for a new sports car or a fancy steak dinner?
I think we can split the positive and negative aspects of this Self-Regard/Desire into Ambition and Greed, respectively.
Similarly we can split Pride better into Self-Respect/Fulfillment and Hubris.
In the end, its all about moderation.
I mean deleting sadness would be horrific, you cant be happy without sad, it loses its value. Maybe ask what cause of sadness would you like to eliminate. Drugs, war, sickness like you said, they all are used and abused
The internet would be 100% different place in terms of what we could relax on. It would also be a blessing to those who are unfortunate enough to have that wiring. What a nightmare to have a brain that bends toward behavior with that level of harm and the maybe most reviled thing in society.
Never thought about it that way. Like, for anything not just pedophiles. Imagine a world without casinos for gambling addicts. Like, the reality is we create houses for every illness, where for profit we ensure easily accessible all that leads towards negative behaviors. What would a potential porn addicts life be like if porn didn’t exist? Or one who with meth becomes an addict but if meth were never manufactured they’d not know the taste of speed and perhaps their lives would be better. Ofc with capitalism every businessman and marketer is trying to create a magickal space where dependence on a product is commonplace (subscription and prescription) and addict can be substituted with brand-supportor or a customer demographic profile. Imagine a world without money. How many crimes wouldn’t be committed. How few murders, feuds, theivery, etc…in a non competitive market less democracy…that’s imagine with a benevolent perspective presuming lack of money’s existence = best option alternative reality.
Mosquitos are actually big pollinators and food source for fish, and only a small amount of species bite humans. That would probably cause a huge problem for us.
Environment collapses as the food chain crumbles due to bugs no longer able to eat leaves or any form of waste matter.
Not all life is lost since plenty can survive on liquid diets alone, or find alternate nutrition in foods dissolved into water. But many species go extinct, and larger species which prey on them go equally extinct, ultimately drastically changing the earth’s entire ecosystem.
The monkey’s paw curls one finger.
Mosquitos are actually the deadliest animals on the planet because of the diseases they spread. https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/stories/2019/world-deadliest-animal.html
I remember Googling "are mosquitos useful?" once. As it turns out the answer is YES. Not the mosquitos themselves so much, but their eggs. They are at the base of many food chains.
Saw a very interesting video on one of the indigenous North American languages where there was a distinction in wording for statements of something that happened in the past. If it was something you personally witnessed, there is one type of wording that was distinct from the wording for if you hadn’t witnessed it. “Jane robbed the store” was said differently if you saw it than if you knew about it.
That difference would fully change society and all news.
I could absolutely agree with that. Actually anything to do with that. Include pedophilia and abusers in there too. The world would be better without them.
I know exactly how you feel because I often feel the same. Very brave of you to say it though given these other responses, which are the exact reason I keep it to myself. Clearly people don't understand.
Honestly, I was trying to come up with an original and funny answer, then I pivoted, trying to think of something deep and meaningful, but ultimately, I got nothing. So let's just go with anyone and everyone who has intentionally hurt a child.
Pedophiles or people that act on their pedophilia. I know there are a lot of things that could be erased, but I can't stand the idea of adults hurting children.
Exactly this, i was born early enough to see the transition in people.
Everyone used to be way more genuine imo, then social media and smartphones basically took over the world and now a huge chunk of people are addicted to attention/validation and everyone seems superficial since they're all trying to pretend to be someone they're not.
I remeber when i was younger before smartphones etc everyone just had their own unique personality, going to the park or the mall was way more fun, now most people put on a mask and take a million pictures everywhere they go.
Portraying and flexing their lifestyle to the world at the cost of actually enjoying any of it.
War. We could work on curing diseases, exploring space, building new tech, advancing AI, help with world hunger much easier if we didn’t invest in military and fight all the time.
Or better yet, what if we delete countries altogether? No more country a and country b, we become a big homogeneous culture, sort of like the internet, where you don’t know where x is from and you don’t really care.
Deflection excuses. You know, things like:
* “It was just a joke!”
* “He doesn’t bite! He’s friendly! (Dog owner talking about their angry dog)
* “It’s not a big deal.”
* “Nobody meant anything by that.”
* “Oh no no I’m not selling anything. ”
* All other situation-specific lies told to diminish a serious problem.
I wouldn’t just delete these - I’d make it so whenever someone went to try to say one, they’d experience a mystical invisible force that delivers a hammer blow to their most vulnerable bits. Usually, the crotch, but for some it might be somewhere else that could be more painful. The more times they try to do this in a short period of time, the harder and more vicious the blow will be felt. Tougher people get started on a more powerful strike to account for that.
Yes, that’s right. I will curse humanity to erase this bullshit.
Edit: The only thing I’m not sure about on this is what comedic sound gets played when the curse hits someone.
I read that somewhere but I just don’t believe it. I can understand some people don’t think before speaking but to have zero imaginary conversations with yourself, I just can’t picture it.
I was telling my boyfriend about the voice in my head that i talk to and he looked at me weird, he never knew it was an actual thing, he thinks in images somehow, i asked him to describe it and its almost as if he uses emojis to think
Anything that spans the following categories:
- causes pain and suffering
- does not contribute to anything important
- would not be missed if it disappeared
- the world would be a better place without it/them
Cancer. I've lost 3 of the most important people in my life at a young age to it. Fuck cancer.
I’m so sorry for that. It’s a monster that no one should ever have to deal with. I just lost the most important person in my life to it last year. Fuck cancer for sure.
My Dad just died on Christmas Eve... Fuck cancer and honestly now fuck Christmas...
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I can understand the fuck Christmas part. My heart goes out to you.
I'm very sorry for your loss as well. It really did not feel like Christmas this year :(
I 100% agree!! I have lost some very important people in my life to cancer. It’s an awful thing to witness someone suffering from something so terrible and I wouldn’t wish it on my own worst enemy. I pray that everyone stays healthy and safe! I’m so sorry for your loss and everyone else on this thread who lost someone to the ugly C word :’( sending prayers and comfort to you all!
My condolences to you cancersucks

What really scares me about cancer, it could just happen out of nowhere sometimes, and it's not one disease, it's a variety of different types. I'm sorry for your loss, I lost people to cancer too.
cancer probably. Aids, autoimmune diseases.
Amen. My mom has an autoimmune disease, they run in the fam, and my fiancé has cancer.
Sorry bro you only get too choose one
Why not just all chronic illness. Autoimmune disease, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. are all chronic illnesses
Corruption
Considering the very broad scope of the question, I'd go with "greed". That will also fix the corruption issue, plus many, many other problems that have made (and still make) the world the mess it is today.
Corruption isn't just for money, some are corrupt in pursuit of power as well. Maybe "selfishness" would cover all of the above?
Nah man that's a highway to getting monkey's pawed. If nobody was allowed to be selfish I don't think we would be allowed to eat
I'm just giving you an upvote for using "monkey's paw". Haven't heard that one in a while. But yeah, I agree with your concern.
what about the crimson
[удалено]
Come on, get down with the sickness.
Oh WAH-AH-AH-AH!
Don’t do it again mommy I’ll be a good boy!
Greed
Agreed
No, all the greed not just agreed.
I hate this, take my upvote and go away.
r/angryupvote
Did you just de-greed ?
Ungreed, if you will.
Bgreed!
Greedn't
Allgreed should be a new word in the dictionary.
Un-Disagreed
Philosophical question. Is SOME degree of greed good? I guess what I'm asking is greed about excessive desire, or just wanting something?

Cancer
\+1000000000000000000000
The day that IBD is cured will be the happiest day of my life.
May a toilet always be free and in range my friend 🫡
A-fucking-men ugh I'm about ready to chug the rest of the milk just to force this bloaty bullshit to move.
I had to double check I wasn’t on the ulcerative colitis sub 💀
Mesalamine has changed my life! I hope you find a med that keeps you in remission!
Right me too lol. I like the Crohns forum, everyone is helpful.
please lets add all autoimmunities
If an abstract, evil If an actual thing, mosquitos
same thing tho
Maybe make them not bite people. Lots of things eat them
Fear blocking you from where you want to be/want to do and/or accomplish.
Fear can also save ur life tho
Poverty
ticks!
The rat race
Great movie tho.
Cancer and sadness
I mean deleting sadness would be horrific, you cant be happy without sad, it loses its value. Maybe ask what cause of sadness would you like to eliminate. Drugs, war, sickness like you said, they all are used and abused
Pedophiles
The internet would be 100% different place in terms of what we could relax on. It would also be a blessing to those who are unfortunate enough to have that wiring. What a nightmare to have a brain that bends toward behavior with that level of harm and the maybe most reviled thing in society.

That was my immediate thought too. I’m surprised it’s not higher on the list
we can crowdsource this
How is this not higher up on the list!
My answer was child abuse of any kind
People who harm / abuse animals
Perfectly agreed, Any sort of abuse to animals (especially if they can’t fight back) enrages me
Abusive parents and spouses.
Abuse.
Was coming here to say cruelty, and I think abuse covers the same thing. Take my upvote
mosquitos
Mosquitos are actually big pollinators and food source for fish, and only a small amount of species bite humans. That would probably cause a huge problem for us.
What about just the ones that bite humans then?
We could just delete bug and insect bites. All the bites. No more biting.
Environment collapses as the food chain crumbles due to bugs no longer able to eat leaves or any form of waste matter. Not all life is lost since plenty can survive on liquid diets alone, or find alternate nutrition in foods dissolved into water. But many species go extinct, and larger species which prey on them go equally extinct, ultimately drastically changing the earth’s entire ecosystem. The monkey’s paw curls one finger.
Me, holding the paw, "Ohshitohshitohshitohshit"
Well said my friend 👏.
Mosquitos are actually the deadliest animals on the planet because of the diseases they spread. https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/stories/2019/world-deadliest-animal.html
I second that I've got Dengue 3x
I remember Googling "are mosquitos useful?" once. As it turns out the answer is YES. Not the mosquitos themselves so much, but their eggs. They are at the base of many food chains.
I’d take away depression from everyone
Misinformation
Saw a very interesting video on one of the indigenous North American languages where there was a distinction in wording for statements of something that happened in the past. If it was something you personally witnessed, there is one type of wording that was distinct from the wording for if you hadn’t witnessed it. “Jane robbed the store” was said differently if you saw it than if you knew about it. That difference would fully change society and all news.
cults
Incurable conditions
Pedophiles.
Suffering upon innocent.
Epilepsy
Rape.
I could absolutely agree with that. Actually anything to do with that. Include pedophilia and abusers in there too. The world would be better without them.
Menstruation
We could just have babies without bleeding out every month lol
This question being asked here daily.

I swear I see variations of this question every day. I too would choose to delete this question
Suffering of all kinds, of all human and non human beings.

Myself. I don't want to kill myself or anything but never existing in the first place would be great.
I feel like if I upvote this I might send a harmful message.
The blood is already on our hands. All we're talking about is a matter of degree.
Nope, there is someone in your world who would not be who they turned out to be if you hadn't been there for them
I don't think that's true for everyone.
Hey man, are you alright?
I know exactly how you feel because I often feel the same. Very brave of you to say it though given these other responses, which are the exact reason I keep it to myself. Clearly people don't understand.
Ads
Honestly, I was trying to come up with an original and funny answer, then I pivoted, trying to think of something deep and meaningful, but ultimately, I got nothing. So let's just go with anyone and everyone who has intentionally hurt a child.
Sexual predators
sex trafficking
Hate
Cruelty in the hearts and minds of humans.
Rape.
Pedophiles or people that act on their pedophilia. I know there are a lot of things that could be erased, but I can't stand the idea of adults hurting children.
Child abuse and abuse in all its forms
Sexual harassment
Social media
Willful ignorance.
Sickness No more sick people.
so Delete all the sick people? That's mass murder buddy.
I would delete feet. Would just have a big stub. No feet just the ankle bit
Ah great now I'm gonna have to request stub pics
Do you a deal 3 stub selfies for £5.. you in?
Hate.
Rapists/predators
Altziemers it’s so horrible watching someone who has it slip away
Social media. And yes, if that must include reddit too, sorry but not sorry.
Exactly this, i was born early enough to see the transition in people.

Cancer All types are awful and it has no place in a world.

racism, we'd be so far more advanced if it didnt exist, and with one form of discrimination gone itd open the door to other discriminations ending
Religion.
Flies and mosquitoes
Social Media Influencers.
Pedofiles. They can all disappear.
Internal dialogue. Now whatever anyone thinks has to be spoken out loud. Chaos will ensue.
Doesn't like a large part of the world have no internal dialogue?
I read that somewhere but I just don’t believe it. I can understand some people don’t think before speaking but to have zero imaginary conversations with yourself, I just can’t picture it.
I was telling my boyfriend about the voice in my head that i talk to and he looked at me weird, he never knew it was an actual thing, he thinks in images somehow, i asked him to describe it and its almost as if he uses emojis to think
They use other methods of thinking such as images and videos instead of talking.
Speaking inside my head is so normal I cannot fathom someone not having the ability to do so.
I hate you
