Improbable answers to world problems

[Agayek]

Just don't care. Try it sometime. Life is so much better and less stressful when you don't care...especially about things that you have no control over (the environment, politics, human suffering, etc.). Close your eyes, plug your ears and go "lalalalalala" until the problems go away.

I dunno about the last bit, but the first part is definitely the best solution. If you stop caring about something, it can no longer bother you, thus it's no longer a problem.

If you stuff your fingers in your ears and try to ignore it, you exhibit caring about it. Just be completely apathetic to everything and there's nothing to stress out about.

I always feel the problem of overpopulation can be done by making jaywalking and speeding legal.

That's not nearly effective enough. What you need to do is make the Darwin Awards about equal in cultural status as the Oscars. Thus, those that kill themselves in incredibly stupid ways will be recognized for their stupidity, and the stupids will be encouraged to try their hand at it.

Let's face it, life sucks. It'd be so much simpler and easier if all of our hairbrained ideas managed to come fruition. Like i have this idea of solving world hunger involving something i like to call SuperJuice Apples, a regular sized apple but contained enough nutrients in 1/8 of it to keep a person fed for 3 days, or a new bio-fuel consisting of electrocharged plasma that would completely replace gasoline, but sadly im only a guy of ideas, cause im not smart enough or rich enough to make this stuff. anyone else ever feel like this?

Unite humanity on one thing- find the crappiest game ever made, and give everyone on the planet a copy of the game and a system to play it on.

We'll all focus on the utter destruction of this thing that we'll see that we're not all so different after all.

I have a plan that may offend the easily offended. If you are easily offended, what are you doing on the internet?

Anyway. You take the older half of the population of Africa and kill them all, using them for biomass fuel. The younger half grows up and repopulates until it's back to the same population. Then, you kill the older half again, using them for fuel and repeat. Endless supply of fuel. Who cares about human rights?

A banhammer. I think that'd help a lot.

Just move down under the sea. Things are better down where it's wetter. Take it from me.

Most of the world is covered in water but so few people live there, so you don't have to worry about annoying neighbors. Sharks and krakens most likely can be down right civil once you get a chance to know them or stay out of their way altogether.
Then there's all of the fish and seaweed that you can eat all around you (if those pesky surfacers don't harvest them all first!)! Best of all, you get to hang out with Prince Namor, Aqua Man, Spongebob Squarepants and mermaids!

Leave the heat and buzzing insects to the rough necks who you wouldn't ever have to see again and vice-versa.


How's that for an improbable solution to all of the world's problems?

We could always hope. But I doubt it, people will find reasons to fight.
