You now have the power to erase one object from existence...

I would probably erase Fortnite Dances xD
I don't want to erase the game itself, only the dances.
There are so many small kids at school who do this to annoy other people. They aren't doing it, because the dances are cool.

 

I, ChocoChicken, will erase something incredibly stupid. Something that triggers me every time I walk past one.
Cigarette smoke.
Cigarettes will now work in some other way that will not pollute everything and make people want to choke themselves every single time they find one darn smoker on a nature hike.

 

Jake Paul's YouTube channel.
Is that not self-explanatory enough?
Talk about cigarette smoke pollution, but Jake Paul is polluting the minds of young children.

 

The only problem is, what if he starts up a second one?

 

Everyone(including himself) will forget that he even started a YouTube channel, so it wouldn't get as much attention.

 

Oooh.... this sounds interesting. Idk what to choose tho...

 

I would erase the Haber-Bosch process of nitrogen production. Here's the thing: The atmosphere of Earth is such that there can only be a certain amount of non-gaseous nitrogen around at a given time before it starts evaporating into the surrounding air too quickly to use on industrial scale. In addition to being a key component in conventional explosives, this being used in fertilizer is what makes farming on this planet capable of supporting 7billion+ humans. Just look at a chart of the population of earth over time, and how it soars in the mid 1900s, right when Haber-Bosch process started being used in agriculture. Without this chemical reaction, there would be less food production and so population would be kept softly lower by that mere market force. My guess is the population of the planet would be probably be less than half of what it is today. Less humans means less pollution, less fear of being overwhelmed by a larger military, less overcrowding of cities, less consumption of limited natural resources, less war/exploitation over those resources, and so on. I give this a better than 50% chance of objectively improving the entire world significantly. (No, I don't want to starve half of the world to death like an even-worse Thanos, I just want us to never have gotten overpopulated in the first place)

 

bugs
but we can keep bees

but pls no flies or mosquitoes or fleas or ticks etc....d-does that count as more than one?

 

Hmmm, there are so many things to be erased in my opinion.
Like Windows 8, nobody wants to remember that. Especially if your school uses it, and you have to use it too.

 

Let me think about this. If I could erase any non-sentient, non-living thing, it would probably be... war. I mean, war isn't a living or thinking item. It's just a term of battle between nations, and if we got rid of it, we'd only shout at each other. I'm trying to think logically right now, but I can't. So... yeah?
