The wheel.

It set everything in motion...
That was a bad joke
It was wheely awful, wasn't it?

On Topic: Well, time was quite a good invention, I'd say. Or rather, the concept of time and the measuring thereof.
Agreed! Without the concept of time, how could we have had Donnie Darko or Braid?

To me, I'd probably have to go with any of the simple machines: Lever, screw, wheel, inclined plane, pulley. Urm, am I missing one? Also, I forget if pulley counted because technically it involves a wheel... crap. Been too long since studying the historical foundation of devices.

The internet, remember when it was created and Einstein hailed it as the "best and most terrible invention mankind ever created."?
Or perhaps that was about something else...

OT: The StG 41. Without it, we'd probably never have Assault Rifles :D
How are guns a good invention?
Because, they are. We slowly advanced from using muskets, to bolt action rifles and pistols, then to submachine guns, and now we have Assault Rifles, Heavy Machine Guns, and other things. It is the perfect example of technology moving along.
They are still not a good invention, they didn't do the world an ounce of good
Better than a "laptop toaster" :p
Guns are a beautiful, beautiful thing. A lot of people would disagree with you on that "they don't do the world an ounce of good".
Think of the amount of innocent people have died completly eradicates any argument for guns, it's like saying the nuke was a good invention
It was. Not only is a laptop toaster impractical, childish, and a waste of time, they take something good, that already works, and make it stupid. Guns aren't bad, people are.
All the more reason why guns were a bad idea
People are worse. You saying that humans are a bad invention? Well, good reasoning! Time to eradicate the worst invention in the world: humans, freethinking and, all of that kind of stuff.
None of those were inventions and out of interest what is your justification for nukes?
I'm fine with nuclear weapons. And, I'm not going to lie, I'm not into all that "We Are The World!" bullshit.
Neither am I but how do you justify nukes or guns exactly?
I told you. I'm fine with nuclear weapons, and I'm fine with firearms.
If you think they were a good idea ten why do you think so?
I don't know, I just do. They are rather complex and simple, at the same time. And they are usually very small, but do something so magnificent and complex.
Radiation and massive loss of life is FUN!!

They are efficient and makes killing, as well as defence easier. Do you prefer people to hit each other with sticks until someone dies? Humans are going to kill one another, no matter what. Guns are just a way to do that, so why all the hate on guns? It doesn't make much sense.

It's not so much guns it's the fact that you can buy them legally

I was wondering, what's the best invention ever?

Mine would be (I'm sorry for the lack of link I read it in "Stuff" magazine) the "bug eating lamp", that's right, a lamp that eats bugs for power

Edit: Guns are not nor will ever be a good thing
Sanitation. No doubt, none whatsoever. Sanitation pwns any other invention.

The Transistor, without it no microchips or computers (well not the size, speed and power we have today) or video games or a damn lot of other technologies and research

Guns have saved many lives and used to get a lot of people food, they still do. It's a tool and shall used as such.

OT: Electricity.
