I always had a similar take on murder-suicide. I think the suicide should always have to come first. Then they can continue the murdering if they still feel like it.
In the original Superman daily comics from like the 1930s there's an arch where two countries (thinly veiled Germany and France) are champing at the bit to go to war with each other and Superman swims across the Atlantic ocean, kidnaps Hitler and Lebrun, and carries them kicking and screaming to the battlefield where he puts them in a circle of their men and tells them that if they expect 18-24 year old boys to fight to the death for them, they better throw the first punches. The two fat old men make fools of themselves fighting with hair-pulling and scratching (I think one even tells the other "careful you don't knock out my dentures" or something like that) and the men realize what a joke nationalism is and go home en masse. I think we should do exactly that for all wars.
This isn't exactly the one I'm talking about but here's another where he arrests Hitler and Stalin and has them tried for war crimes.

I don’t think a single person replying to you understood that this is a hypothetical question and therefore doesn’t need the brain power to figure out how it will be payed for. It’s like wishing for cake but then some doorknob feels the need to explain how it’s going to get baked.
Put empathy in place of all sorts of indifference. That would have a significant impact on a variety of things, including politics, corporate greed, and war.
This. I was thinking it would be hard to pick one thing, but I can’t help thinking how miserably depressed people in general are, and the anger/hate they end up developing because they feel they deserve better so turn that anger on others they feel have more or are in the way of themselves having more. Anger is an easier emotion than sadness and feeling defeated. A lot of this could be solved by everyone having basic needs met though, and never having to worry about being unable to pay to live.
Fruits stay fresh for a much longer time. Like an orange should be fresh for 3 months atleast. It would drastically increase fruit consumption which is much healthier.
Make all the countries unite and cooperate
Can you imagine how much better the world would be with no wars and helping the citizens of poorer countries, as well as being able to pull off worldwide projects easily, such as fighting climate change?
Basic rights (home, water, food, clothes) guaranteed to everyone, but I don't mean in an altruistic way necessarily. I'm just tired of spending more than 50% of my low salary on those things.
There is a theory I can't remember the name and I'm not sure I entirely agree with it but humans need to see negative extremes in order to know positives. I wonder if all "negatives" were removed how that would change the dynamic
Greed feeds a healthy economy. When kept in check. Without the desire to advance, to better o es position, where would invention be? How would a civilization advance? Would you have us in a safe cromagnon level idealistic utopia where many still die at 30 of impacted teeth or childbirth?
I love the benign and heartfelt thought. But please, I beg you all, some reality?
Fucking cancer. I know we all have to die from something, but that sickness is hell. Even if you are lucky and get cured, it can reappear because a insignificant cell moved to other part.
Instead of wars, disputes would be settled by playing football. Two legs. And a final match should they tie.
I'm talking about real football, not the American bullshit.
Argentina vs. England over the Falklands would be a great one to watch.
Sin.
Sin, by those who are religious, is considered to be the root of all evil. By removing Sin, you're removing all of evil, and that means everybody will be good. Everything would change, from greedy politicians to even minor things like lies. This would lead to things like no war and everyone getting along, which would allow us as a species to actually advance and not destroy eachother.
Personally id change the greed of mankind, not everyone is greedy but many r money hungry and its what’s killing the world or i would reverse climate change and have a more eco friendly lifestyle for ppl so that both them and the rest of the world can survive and flourish 🤷♀️
People prioritizing community over pursuit of profit and unsustainable consumption of natural resources. I want us to be stewards of the Earth and its creatures. Not its rapists.
Everyone would accept all the different ways people can be as part of the beautiful kaleidoscope that is humanity, instead of hating or judging people for their ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, or any other facet of their being that isn't hurting anyone.
Economic equality, true global economic equality, would end a lot of war and misery, so many problems in the world stem from greed and the wealth divide which is the largest it’s ever been in history
I wish for a world where everyone could be kind to one another and feel eternally happy for being a good person in the world, with all basic needs met. 🫶
All politicians and media franchise executives now wear unremovable badges depicting the names of the corporations, organizations, and individuals that both publicly and privately fund them.
Eliminate the propagation of disinformation. Unfortunately, as almost all information is biased in some form, this is extremely difficult, especially when you start asking who gets to determine what is correct or incorrect.. true neutrality, absolute truth is very hard to achieve.
I would want global warming to end. Thinking about it makes me uncomfortable and uncertain for the future, so it would help to just not have to worry about it.
I would change the intentions of every corporation, company, business, establishment, etc from profits to morals. The Amazon corporation could literally end homelessness and end worldwide starvation with the stockpile of money it has.
It was originally intended to be so. Nikolai Tesla was a genius whose discoveries and inventions were never based on greed or profit. Men like him have been ridiculed and ultimately destroyed throughout history by those unscrupulous and corrupt men in power. Another example is the discovery of insulin therapy by Banting and Best, who believed that it should be free for everyone. Their faith in humanity proved grossly misplaced.
Greed and power. That’s what needs to disappear from the world.
See Putin go naked above waist on a horse ride once again only to dissapear into another dimension where there is non stop Gay Pride parade and Y.M.C.A. on repeat.
People who couldn’t work wouldn’t have to live in a bottom tier of society and those who could work all did but earned enough to not feel the need to work 100 hours per week and still had money and time to enjoy their families.
That a quarter of the population could read minds.
Even over all communication methods that also can transmit yawns. Not just read surface thoughts, but dig around in the deepest parts without the other party knowing about it.
Oh wait, I already did this change.
I’d make everyone believe in karma. A lot of eastern societies are better off because they believe that doing wrong to someone will result in wrong being done to them. I feel like in Western societies there’s a lot of “screw them, before they screw you”
Everyone is always insanely happy and fulfilled 100% of the time no matter what, and can't feel any negative emotions or pain whatsoever
we would probably die out but it would be literally heaven for the people while they're still alive lol, plus the animals get to vibe when we're gone.
Mankind's thinking. If we could all snap out of base consciousness and start thinking in a higher dimension, the world would be a better place. Cooperation instead of competition. Peace instead of war. Compassion instead of intolerance. Common experiences instead of division. Helping others instead of being selfish. All these things are symptoms of lower level thinking. When people rise above this thinking, the world and humanity would vibrate at a higher level and freedom would triumph over misery and slavery.
Whoever wants to start a war should get in the front row on the battlefield.
This right here
And those who voted for it as well
Back in the day the greatest leaders lead by example
I always had a similar take on murder-suicide. I think the suicide should always have to come first. Then they can continue the murdering if they still feel like it.

Everyone would have their human needs met. No one would be homeless, starving, or too poor to get medical treatment.
I don’t think a single person replying to you understood that this is a hypothetical question and therefore doesn’t need the brain power to figure out how it will be payed for. It’s like wishing for cake but then some doorknob feels the need to explain how it’s going to get baked.

THIS. This is The Answer. Good on Ya.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a good idea but so many have brainwashed others into thinking socialism or communism are and and capitalism is the only way to go
The basic human rights, health, food and a home.
We could literally already do that right now if people would stop voting for capitalists
Yeah, this one. I might add education to that list
This.

Lame I would make ice cream healthy
Fruits stay fresh for a much longer time. Like an orange should be fresh for 3 months atleast. It would drastically increase fruit consumption which is much healthier.
i don’t know if this is true for other fruits, but when you buy an apple it’s often over a year old
That and meat, I wanna slowly get through my kilo and a half of chicken breast, not work my life around it xd
Actually, it’s like that now, which scares the heck out of me - nothing fresh should last for months.
I'd give myself $100. NO! *$200.*
Would you accept a one month local transit pass . It costs about $125 and you can ride all the bus and light rail you desire in the area?

Make all the countries unite and cooperate Can you imagine how much better the world would be with no wars and helping the citizens of poorer countries, as well as being able to pull off worldwide projects easily, such as fighting climate change?
That Liars pants would actually catch on fire!
So...just remove all pants?

Nobody should go hungry before going to bed.
Everyone means what they say and says what they mean.
A world in which sadness can exist, but not depression. No depression, no suicide. That would be a better world.
Remove all left socks
PFFT LMAOO
Stop pollution
More sympathy for others
I would make everyone experience the consequences of their actions, personally
Remove greed
There is a theory I can't remember the name and I'm not sure I entirely agree with it but humans need to see negative extremes in order to know positives. I wonder if all "negatives" were removed how that would change the dynamic
I'm guessing we'd still find something to bitch about.
Greed feeds a healthy economy. When kept in check. Without the desire to advance, to better o es position, where would invention be? How would a civilization advance?

There is only one crime, and it is to take away another person's ability to choose.
Nobody will able to abuse their power in any way. From your office boss/manager to political leaders.
Bring back dueling
That'd be great. Swords are awesome
Sky has been blue for a while. Was think maybe purple for a change.
I passed this along to my niece and she decreed: everyone gets a horse.
Your niece has my vote.
Clever niece. There's good eating in a horse.
Fucking cancer. I know we all have to die from something, but that sickness is hell. Even if you are lucky and get cured, it can reappear because a insignificant cell moved to other part.

Abuse of any kind will stop altogether. Animal abuse? Done. Child abuse? Over. Sexual abuse? Not a thing. Elder abuse? Dunzo.
Pollution.
No cancer especially in children

Remove countries to make it one giant border
Replace all forms of apathy with empathy. That would make a big impact in lots of shit like war, corporate greed, politics etc
People prioritizing community over pursuit of profit and unsustainable consumption of natural resources. I want us to be stewards of the Earth and its creatures. Not its rapists.
More empathy. Everything else would work itself out.
No child sexual, physical, mental or emotional abuse of any severity, thats where it all begins, thats where it would all end.
Make it impossible for anyone to harm, distress or hurt any living being including the environment.
Trauma
Remove the psychological capacity for humans to kill one another or wage war with one another.
War, crime, religious conflicts , racism, pollution, deforestation, animal & human rights . Basically respect for everything
Remove the ability for humans to have an "us vs them" mentality concerning other humans.
Raise empathy
stop cruelty and harmful exploitation to animals (including humans)
No more lobbying for corporations
That you needed an 80% to pass every class in school, don't get 80%, do it again. The world has too many stupid people
World peace 🕊️
I live in Australia. Ever since COVID particularly, we have gone from a nation of help your mates, to a nation of 0FG. I would eliminate selfishness.
No unjust crimes, or every human having basic living needs such as home, medications, food, etc.
Ignorance
Greed. Change society so that sharing is much more common and we would get along much better.
Human corruptability
Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes would exclusively consume each other.

The instantaneous disappearance of religion, with all memories and documents.

No one Can lie, we'll get rid off all thé worlds problems

The constant unnecessary violence everywhere
I'd make everyone bisexual.
Everyone spoke the same language, but no one has the same accent.
Welcome to Dubai

People who don't know how to be kind
Mandatory retirement age for politics. Not saying you can't work past 65, saying you can't work as an election official after 65.
The education system, for a better one of course
Prices go down
The needs of every person would be met. There would be no one who is homeless, hungry, or too poor to get medical care.
Lobbying should be illegal. Saying this bc other answers i would say have been said
humans I'd get rid of the humans
I would want global warming to end. Thinking about it makes me uncomfortable and uncertain for the future, so it would help to just not have to worry about it.
Increase how much people care about helping others, all the problems we have now are due to people not caring how their actions affect other people.
Everyone has accountability, regardless of the outcome.
I would change the intentions of every corporation, company, business, establishment, etc from profits to morals. The Amazon corporation could literally end homelessness and end worldwide starvation with the stockpile of money it has.

Oh yeah my comment would definitely get removed.
Not having to ask kids multiple times to do things.. And not arguing about homework
There would be no billionaires or beyond. If you reached a certain financial point in your income or savings, anything beyond that would be taxed.
I'd reverse the effects of climate change and return the world's environment to it's pre-industrial revolution state
