Great human inventions

I love my nose/ear hair trimmer, thank goodness someone figured that out. How about you, OT? Your favorite human inventions?

@SolidGame_basic: the microwave, tv, and air conditioning. And the SNES :P

Anesthesia and painkillers
Toothpaste/Toothbrush
Automobile, airplanes, trains, and boats

Air condition is way up there in terms of game changing inventions.

In terms of more recent inventions, shout out to computers. They're in everyone's homes, in everyone's pockets, increasingly in everyone's cars, they're on wrists and they're all connected to each other via the internet. Also for that matter, shout out to the internet, connecting damn near everything to everyone else.

I like computers. But there have been many great inventions that I like I can't name them all.

Doughnuts

The Haber Process is arguably the best innovation of the industrial revolution. After that,

• Vaccines
• Penicillin
• The Computer, and surrounding computer sciences
• The locomotive
• The electric generator
• Spinning Jenny
• The Periodic Table
• Nuclear Power
• Solar Power

And a few dishonorable mentions too, for the worst inventions since hte industrial revolution

• Automobiles/Cars
• Cigarettes
• Plastics
• Leaded Petrol (made us actually dumber, more prone to crime, caused millions of deaths... whoopsie)
• Gas Chambers (whether it is for humans, pigs or chickens, I disapprove 100%)

The Nintendo Switch.

Do you guys have this in america? :P

lol no. It's an osthyvel.

Stop capitalizing capitalize.

Written language is probably the all time #1 as it gave humans a way to save and distribute information outside of needing to actually talk to the person with that information. Without that most of human civilization isn't even possible.

For a modern invention I'll go with the transistor integrated circuit. The scales at which they're manufactured and the exponential rate it's been increasing are mind boggling. Counting at the transistor level, we are awash in them. You're probably surrounded by trillions of them every day and hardly take notice. Humans pump out quintillions of them annually at this point. In one year, we produce more transistors than we've grown grains of rice in all of human history.

I don’t know if meditation counts?

The light bulb.

The fridge.

Phones.

Internet.

Photography.

Tv

The list is endless.

Modern medicine is pretty great. I'm not talking about cutting-edge technology, just basic stuff like antibiotics, vaccinations, x-rays, anesthetics, and so on.

Basic and mostly-common-sense laws, specifically ones relating to food and drug safety, transportation safety, labor laws, etc.

Music, and the ability to record and play music.

"Information age" stuff like computers, internet, etc.

3D pr inters are pretty neat.

We always called it a cheese slicer, and they're awesome.

Good at peeling potatoes and carrots, too.

Meditation is part of psychology/psychiatry, and that's part of medicine, and medicine is an invention as far as I am concerned.

HVAC all day. Couldn't live in the swampy southeast otherwise.

the internet

@SolidGame_basic: I went in here wondering why you specified "human" inventions. Did you think other species' inventions were going to be listed if you didn't specify? I was a little disappointed the topic didn't include a conspiracy theory like the microwave used alien tech or something like that :P

Ant Colonies are an incredible work of engineering that even goes as far as to inspire human engineers.

I might have listed them, if it didnt say human inventions ;)

A very long list, can't name them all but here we go:

• TV
• Computers
• Houses
• Cars
• Smartphones
• Internet
• Transports
• Sports
• Medicine
• Fridge
• Electricity
• Game systems
• Vaccinces

The list too long, but these are the one's that stand out, i think we need a topic for the opposite idea.

@SolidGame_basic: Contraception measures.

Plastic. Changed the world.

The curb stone, you can walk on it and if you're angry at the local government you can pick it up and throw it!
You may end up in jail depending on how severe the damage of your throw was, but I guess that's life!
