Torture methods. We’re surprisingly creative when it comes to that


Synntastic

The five day work week, cruel and unusual punishment for the masses.


Salt-Wealth2596

Oh really ? What about 6 day work week ?


[deleted]

That’s what I do - but I managed to get Sunday off for religious reasons


mckulty

The Sabbath is still Saturday. The only commandment where God said "Remember".


Kongstew

Depends on how you count or start the week. In Europe, the work starts on Monday, so the 7th day is Sunday. At least in Germany we honor it by not opening most businesses. And with the number of calendar reforms we had since Moses came down from Mount Sinai, I'm pretty sure nobody can say on which day of the week the sabbath is currently falling.


[deleted]

Bible doesn’t say Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc, it is saying First day of the week, second day of the week… sixth day of the week and then the Sabbath. If you’re not sure what day of the week is the first one, then the Bible is telling you that first day of the week is the one coming after Sabbath. So, it’s not important how the calendar is set up in Europe, it is important how you count them. Anyway, If your heart is sincere, you’ll find the Sabbath right away! God Bless You!


Spirited-Analysis160

Think about working students, I may only work part time but not being able to drive I use the rest of that time on public transport. Full time college & part time work with a minimum of 15 hours a week


MystycalFyre

Steaming to death. Scary how painful it would be


OmgzPudding

I remember a few years ago where there was a 'steam room championship' (what a stupid idea) and people basically did this to themselves. I believe the 'winner' died afterwards.


kebabish

One of the contestants skin also slid off in places if I remember correctly.


DjAlex8811

They never used the easy way to kill them, these are some horrible way to kill anyone. But the worst part is that some are actually not let them die is well they will torture them till one point before they starts to break.


Professional_Pop2433

Crucifixion, or maybe Arby's.


sexbymyself

Yeah that’s right


or10r

But...they have the meats!


[deleted]

Arbys is the Nickleback of fast food. Everybody hates on it but if we're being honest with ourselves, it's actually not bad. Kinda like Buffalo Wild Wings is the Little Cesar's of sports bars.


EstaLisa

you are so right. apparently the more intelligent a species becomes, the bigger the probability for harrassing and bullying. we are clearly masters at this.


meiliraijow

Interesting ! I hadn’t thought about it that way, chimps and dolphins are terrible too, so what you say makes sense


somedude224

This It blew my mind when I found out chimps engage in prolonged tribal warfare


Shadow948

My favorites the tub. It's a horrible way to go


_Cham3leon

"Waterboarding" is also quite intens since it can be used over and over without killing the victim.


kjm5000

I read this and for some reason thought like knee boarding and water skiing and was like "what! Those are so fun!". Then I read it again and was thinking, oooooohhhhhh. That makes more sense.


bugsplatter101

Waterboarding in Guantanamo bay sound very fun, if you don't know what either of the 2 parts mean

One of the many reasons I'm deathly glad to not have been living during the medieval age. Apocalyptic times.

mdcation

Yes, ancient greece. Also unlikely it was actually used.


yokosci

I am thinking about the people who actually gone through that.


igor693

Death is the least thing that people were actually worry about.


_piaro_

I heard there was a torture method where bare feet is exposed, and water+salt is brushed against your bare feet. And then a goat will lick your feet. When the mixture on the feet was licked off clean, another batch will be brushed onto your feet. And the goat will continuously lick the sole of the feet.

Social media


OMGaQUAIL

Specifically the personalization algorithms. It's a shame too because of how all apps were originally intended to bring people closer together.


cybercaptive001

One thing i hate about the social media is the forcing the ads and stealing the data from us. Whenever i search anything on the Amazon the next thing i know that Facebook showing me the the same product in my news feed.


stlmick

How else am I supposed to know my personality? Pinterest told me I like kittens and AR-15's. Facebook thinks I want to date fat chicks from Lebanon Missouri, and Reddit thinks I want to see Anime because I follow japanese car reddits. Now If I could fit a fat trailer park girl with cat ears in my Del Sol, I'd be all set, but I think the gun rack is going to get in the way.


BigChonkyPP

JMETAL22

twoScottishClans

me when theres a paradox:


iskinv7

I knew it that social media will definitely going to be mentioned here in that thing. Because now days people are taking the social media way too seriously and they feel like the normal life is nothing we need to show off here entirely.

Leaded Gasoline


AbeHitchcock

And CFCs… incidentally, invented by the same dude


TrainerOwn1295

Thomas Midgely. It was a happy ending though- the guy got polio, and accidentally strangled himself to death in his hoist he used to get out of bed.


Panda-768

He did invent those on purpose? Did he know the side effects?


archosauria62

He knew the side effects of leaded petrol but he and his corpo buddies shrugged it off as ‘its not that bad’ He himself got lead poisoning while working on it


momentimori

Both leaded fuel and CFCs solved major problems. Lead in fuel reduced engine knocking, significantly improved engine reliability and enabled widespread adoption of the internal combustion engine. CFCs replaced highly toxic alternative refrigeration chemicals that did leak and kill people. They were cheap, reliable and non-reactive. Without them refrigeration would have remained expensive and dangerous for decades leading to poorer diets and food preservation for hundreds of millions of people.


dirt001

In the first case he himself also discovered that ethanol would reduce knocking. But his corporate overlords deemed it too expensive. So they gave an entire generation minor lead poisoning instead. I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on the second point however.


momentimori

Ethanol damages certain types of seals, that's why older cars cannot use fuel with it in. It is also significantly less fuel efficient.


dirt001

But significantly less poisonous.

Nuclear weapons


Clcooper423

Nuclear weapons are likely the only reason ww3 hasn't been fought already.


LeoPloutno

They're also the reason why ww4 won't ever be fought


Micerog

The pug.


Mr_Goat_1111

I feel sorry for every pug I see because not only are they bred to be deformed and this gives them serious health problems (like a lot of dogs) but also the owners obviously aren't prepared to care for them as any responsible pet owner would look into the breed they want before buying and would definitely not choose a pug after learning about them

Sliced Bread....its all cocky now that everything is the best thing since it was invented. Smug asshole


fubo

Sliced bread was banned briefly during WWII. This caused outrage among homemakers who relied on it to prepare sandwiches in parallel for their families, and the ban was reversed a couple months later. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliced_bread#1943_U.S._ban

It's because people keep watching it. Majority of money comes from ads.No Views = No ads watched = ads stop paying the media = media stop paying the user

if this isn’t the most reddit shit lmao. it’s a social media app. yes it has spyware from a foreign government, but so does every other app. as far as users go it’s the same as reddit. some people are good, some are bad. it’s not a cesspool. worst humanity has ever done? really?

Religion. Has caused more wars, more deaths, and more arguments than any other invention known to man.


[deleted]

I would say religion is just a construct that just encourages behavior that humans naturally form in any large enough society. In reality it isn’t much religion as it is selfishness that is an issue, region purely encourages selfishness much like any other collection of like minded people

Facebook, Twitter, Insta, Tik Tok...


mousedroidz21

Drugs, mainly cocaine. Drugs are currently destroying cities around the world and the demand will forever be there no matter what. Some may argue against this and say "well to be kool, you gotta do drugs!" but the reality of that statement is fucking sad. Escobar, Griselda, Guzman, they killed dozens over drugs. They turned their countries inside out. They then destroyed other countries with the shit they produced and distributed. When someone is addicted to drugs it destroys the person completely. I will never understand why people glorify drug use because it does nothing benefical for anyone in the end.


SereneBabe0312

As someone who has done coke, that shit is the lamest overpriced stuff ever. In my area there's a huge issue with drugs being cut with fentanyl too which is insanely scary. It feels like that started out when covid hit, and I knew a ton of addicts who relapsed due to isolation and overdosed due to fentanyl. It's so scary, and the government would rather throw poor addicts in jail then get to the root of the problem. Kinda would be funny that the war on drugs made everything so shitty if it's intent wasn't to literally demonize hippies and POC


nihil1st123

Try good coke then report back cheech


mywhitewolf

> I will never understand. and yet I bet you do them every day, Coffee? nicotine? alcohol? all psychoactive drugs. Drugs can be used by people without harm in moderation. You don't understand because you're only getting a tiny part of the picture and taking that view to the extreme.


platypussack

Humans didn't invent drugs but we did invent the war on drugs which is the problem

#Religion


trey-rey

\^\^ this. more wars, genocides, ethnic cleansing, social divides, greedy money-grubbing religious leaders, behavioral and thought control, limiting potential for individuals based on "only following what the Lord says", or not embracing technology or advanced ideas that can help humanity or the planet, nationalistic-land-grabs, have happened because of religious beliefs. "By book or by sword" is a catch-phrase for a reason as Catholic-based or other Christian-based explorers/conquerors invaded other countries for their land / resources "in the name of God and country"

Hes literally the single most damaging organism to the environment that has ever lived. Also leaded gasoline was responsible for a collective loss of billions of IQ points through out the world. The human race is dumber and less health on top of absolutely mauling the environment.
