Whisk (the kitchen tool). It is so useless; take up space in the kitchen drawer and sometimes it causes a jam in the drawer.
I would have to disagree because I just started using a whisk a few weeks ago and I love it! Can replace the mixer and even a blender!….
Well…. I have just been using a fork to scramble the eggs or mix up the muffin batter because I haven’t had any formal training using a whisk, I’m afraid I might do it wrong.
I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt or sick because of my misuse of a kitchen utensil…. or maybe start a fire!
It delights me that got 16 dislikes.
I threw mine out too. 🤓
easy and beneficial to use, a complete PITA to clean.
Social media
That’s simple. Nuclear capability
The automotive smog control system. On older cars, the smog control reduces
fuel efficiency and engine performance, and can be a major cause of carbon
buildup resulting in engine deposits, and costly repairs. It’s worse in California.
Car dealerships.
Politicians
selfcheckout registers. i dont think i need to elaborate.
AI
Cigarettes. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, the smell of that smoke absorbed into clothes, walls, autos, etc. I find discarded cigarette butts strewn across the ground irritating. My father smoked, and lung cancer led to his early death, not even 45 years old. My sister used to smoke and spend roughly $2 a pack (money gone up in smoke). Fortunately, she quit years ago.
Landmines
Communism.
Social media, cell phones, the internet, and biological warfare weapons
Recliner chairs: so comfy, so inviting, literally the root of all evil. Why? Mine, know as The Great Chair, draws me in to a world of naps and Netflix and utter, blissful indolence. After napping, I waddle into the kitchen to make coffee and return to….sit back down. There are chores to do, gardens to tend to, serious questions to be pondered, opinions to develop – but the Great Chair sings its siren song, and, boy do I answer.

The welfare state!!!
Cheez-Wiz. Why should be self evident.
a counter: without this, a particular line (that happens to be quoted frequently-certainly all the time in college) from “The Blues Brothers” would not be in the movie. “Got my Cheez Whiz boy?” followed by the toss, the catch and the lay down.
Voting machines.
You know why.
The Autopen
Cancer, and I do believe it was an invention made by big pharma.
cancer is the result of all the toxic inflamatory junk in our highly processed foods, seed oils and too much sugar in your diet..
I’m not buying it completely. although, a few of the things you listed were/ are endorsed by big Pharma.
Nuclear weapons and cell phones with data.
I believe nuclear weapons have prevented more deaths than they’ve caused.
Not only by forcing the Japanese surrender in WW2 but by raising the likelihood of Mutual Assured Destruction.
I agree with you, Dr. Jelly! I spent years on the front lines of the Cold War, and the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction did work.
And without the bombing of Japan to end World War II, many of our fathers and grandfathers wouldn’t have been around long enough to bring us into the world.
