What is something that you found in your life that made you wonder, why was this created?

#1

The internet. I keep hearing how it is a wonderful invention but then on the other hand how it has ruined everything. It is a good job I do not have this internet. I would not know what to do with it.

It's worse for artists. I listen to Adam Duff Lucidpixul. He recently did a livestream talking about the importance of adapting to AI for artists. Then he made another video going off on people stubbornly refusing to adapt and complaining about AI's presence in the art and animation industry. It was a hard video to watch. I've never seen Adam Duff so angry at his audience before. I read the comments and found I wasn't the only one taken aback by his responsive video. He practically said, repeatedly that AI is here to stay and if an artist wants to make a successful career they need to adapt or they will fail. I, and others, concurred it's not the be all and end all if you don't convert to AI. There's still an audience out there who prefer classic animations and art. There's still a demand.

All organized religions. On an individual basis, faith is a great way to be in touch with The Divine, but once you start forming groups and electing people to be the "Voice of God"(tm), you start getting people gathering to hate anyone that dares to think otherwise...

I hate that saying so much. It's a threat used by thugs and drug dealers, but it's gotten around to regular folks.

The factories and machines where they paint these little turtles’ shells with pink paint and patterns and stuff so they would sell better to little kids. Absolutely vile. The turtles and tortoises simply cannot survive for longer than a month unless you pry the paint off bit by bit, and even if you do, it suffers for life and it still has a short lifespan. Most of the factories are in Asia, and people are trying to do everything to shut them down, but there are still idiots around in the US who deliberately paints their turtle or tortoise. It’s toxic, and even the paint itself isn’t it will block out sunlight and cause deformations, vitamin deficiency, and respiratory issues.

Oh my Gosh, I know what you mean. I live in Asia and I found a bunch of these painted turtles in a pond... Ugh, why didn't I try to remove the paint?

I had no idea these had been done, and my life is a little better now that I do.

Algebra. It's basically just numbers with secret numbers next to them. If you work at McDonald's, you're never not going to know how much a Big Mac costs. It's not like your manager is going to keep it a secret and have you work it out on paper. Plus, most people won't grow up to have the power to change the prices of products. It's useless.

Algebra is useful though. I just don't like it when it gets overly complicated

North Korean dictators, and every other dictators in the other countries.
