    What do you think is mankind's worst invention?

    Hates fun.

    The main issue here is that there's too many ways you could define something as 'the worst'. You could do it by its initial impact, the long running results of its creation, loss of human life related to it or even environmental damage. Heck you could even get more intangible factors as criterias for judging whether or not something's the 'worst invention' by looking at how it effects society.

    I mean, if you wanted to go for purely environmental damage, then going with the steam engine would seem a start as that kicked off the industrial revolution which led to mass manufacture and its odious by-product of polution alongside the realisation that 'hey, we can burn all this shit to power everything'. If you wanted to go for direct impact on human life you could go for something like propoganda which, at its most obvious, is responsible for the death of 6 million Jews.

    There's a lot of things that are all pretty terrible, but in different ways and with different consequences. Unless we set out a criteria for terribleness we're comparing apples and oranges here.

    oh and the worst invention is any mode of transportation
    look how fat everyone is now
    I disagree with you there. Transportation is a very useful invention. It's the people's own fault if they can't stop themselves from shoveling food down their throats.

    We need all of these inventions, because if we didn't have them we wouldn't have all of the jokes.

    Worst invention was electric beds. I've heard of them catching on fire and everything. But in the summer you're going to sleep and the only bed you have is and electric bed? Bleh. I mean, in the winter, they're pretty nice though.
    Wth are those?
    They're beds that are heated. -_-
