I'd go back 30 seconds before you hit submit on this question and take your keyboard away from you.

Seriously, this is a question that's essentially "What if?" which has been debated by philosophers, argued by historians, fantasized and written about in countless books and displayed in libraries and museums around the planet.

What on earth did you think this question would add to the fabric of society?

You know you could have just downvoted and moved on. Instead you chose to suck the fun out. You're a fun-sucker.

Every party needs a pooper and I guess that poopers you. Party pooper

The word you're looking for is "curmudgeon".

What I was actually trying to do is encourage a discourse that furthered society, rather than rehash a trope such as the one found at the source of this thread.

I'm not confident that this will actually eventuate here, but I'm hopeful that someone will pleasantly surprise me.

tips fedora. Ah, a fellow articulate. I too galavant through Lemmy in search of stimulating discourse. Unfortunately, I am met with conversation that is most superfluous. Heh. You've probably correctly surmised my IQ is higher than most.

Good luck fellow intellectual. Let us further society.

How about instead of coming in and being a dick in someone's thread, you post things to encourage what you're looking for?

No, it must just be easier to smell your own shit in the garden than finding a toilet.

Nope. The words I was looking for is fun-sucker and party pooper. Let people have fun lol
