Tips. How ridiculous is it that restaurant owners guilt us into paying their employees salaries because they are too cheap to pay them a living wage? How unjust is it that we chose to tip the people who bring our food from the kitchen to our table and leave the hundreds of other service workers without tips?

Racism, but here we are in 2025 it being more prevalent than ever.

In the USA: complicated tax returns that require tax software and/or professional help. It's a rent-seeking scam.

Religion.

It served a purpose when societies were first moving from hunting and gathering to agriculture. A community needed to coalesce around something tangible for resource sharing, protection, decision making, etc...

It's why, from a societal evolution perspective, we went from totemic religions based on fertility and family groups, to mass religions with defined hierachies and roles, because the evolution or religions reflect that evolutions of society at the time.

We don't need that anymore. It does more harm than good in the modern world.

Billionaires, government officials owning stock, private campaign finance, the two party system, racism, sexism, health insurance, private equity, for profit prisons, for life Supreme Court appointments, Nazis, Zionism, Wall Street, unregulated banking,jobs that don’t pay a living wage, unaffordable housing, student debt, the police state and lobbyists

I thought phone numbers and traditional telephone service would be dead by now. Instead, purely internet-based communication services often use them as an identifier.

Fossil fuel subsidies. No longer needed since we have more viable alternatives, and they just contribute to global warming, and litter.

Polio.

Well, facism seems like the obvious choice right now, but I'm going deeper and choosing bigotry.

Blockchain. It was an interesting poc, but it has yet to have a useful implementation apart from scams.

Coal power plants.

Humans organised by hierarchy.

It never works and always ends with civilisations that ever attempt it collapsing. No matter how often we do the same dumb shit over and over it never works.. Are we insane anons ?

The oldest two mechanisms of authenticating on credit cards.

From oldest to newest, they are:

1. Printed data on card.

2. Magstrip (which basically has the same data in machine-readable form).

3. Smartcard chip with contacts.

4. Wireless.

The first two mechanisms hand over all the data required to impersonate the cardholder whenever used, which isn't very secure. Yes, there's value to keeping a mechanism around for a while to permit transition time, but we should have had tap-to-pay hardware on PCs and phones and the like a long time ago.

Pandas.

July and August Add them to the end of the calendar or rename them properly, there is no reason September-December should have been globally accepted out of order for over 2000 years

English orthography. It's like this close to being random.

Other languages have reformed theirs (or theres or they'res) to make sense at some point since the dawn of modern literacy.
