People knowing the difference between biological sex and gender.
Even the legendary Nathaniel isn't immune to the downvote fairies, apparently. Take an upvote
I've always thought of one's "sex" as the bits they were born with, and "gender" as one's identity. You know, it's actually rather strange because I have so many fluid friends & acquaintances, but we're all so accepting of each other that it's not a conversation that we have, because nobody cares. I mean honestly, for the ones who have issues with it, what does it matter if one identifies as a boy, or girl, or a god damn bologna sandwich?
Nathaniel, Vix and May...you guys have fought the good fight here, and have displayed levels of patience and perseverance that I can only aspire to. My god, my eye was twitching halfway through, and I felt myself devolving into layers of cursing I didn't know existed. Well done, guys.
Woah, woah, woah, guys in the comments, all of yall need to take a chill pill. We obviously aren't all going to see eye to eye on this, and I'm sure everybody here has better things to do than argue with strangers online. Yes?
Personally I don't have anything better to do and also informing people of facts and telling them to not be an a*****e to people they don't understand is important. Another good thing is how seeing people argue with the transphobes honestly restores some faith that some people are still good yk
Load More Replies...No religion.
Actually, no organized religion. They're all after power and money and have been since man first made up some god.
I would remove all people. That's way better for the Earth
I'd upvote 10,000 times if I could. Most of these replies on this thread come down to... human stuff sucking... But no worries. We're the last bud on the family tree Homo, and we're not going any further. We'll be an interesting blip in the fossil records, I expect.
No mosquitos or any other blood-sucking insects, up to and including corporates and politicians.
Corruption, of any level. If we could completely eliminate this, the world would be a vastly different place.
How about.... having the perfect solution for the disposal of waste - be it nuclear, chemical or other waste? If we cannot avoid it...., then, at least, dispose of it in a perfect way which does not harm our beloved earth.
Just one thing? Hmm, in that case of I'd fix the environment undoing years of pollution and all other damages we've inflected on the planet. That way the human race would survive to hate each other, or more hopefully learn how to coexist peacefully.
Every person in the world have the same skin color, blue, like avatar, so that there cannot be racism.
There will still be hate. Just other stuff to pick on
I would bring the global temperatures back to pre-Industrial Revolution and make them stay there.
school is free. everyone should be able to go to school if they want to. and also, just for fun, i want pets to be free. the also offer emotional support so yk?
I know this won´t be popular, but for me it´d be alcohol. It never solves any problems, only creates them. I still don´t get why it´s considered normal that you need to drink (lots of) alcohol to celebrate something.
I totally agree. It's a waste of money. And if you watch cop videos on YouTube where they bring people into jail... 90% are because of alcohol. Spousal abuse would be lower too if booze was just GONE from the planet. Why are all these people trying to sedate themselves - is life THAT BAD? Oh... and I love books too.
Earth should be colder. I say this partly because of Global Warming and it no longer ever snows on my birthday in December anymore but also because I have the core of a dying star and I'm always super hot. In the temperature sense not the attractive sense. So Earth being colder would mean I wouldn't actively suffer from the heat like every single day which sounds like paradise for me
sexiest people
I would go back in time and stop me from going on bored panda
Environmental discrimination.The earth used to be wonderful, I mean before all these jacked up people were born
If the question involves changing one thing about the EARTH, for the benefit of humans . . . I would make it revolve around the sun quicker (250 days?). Winter and Summer would shorter and the hot and cold temperatures wouldn't be as extreme. Most of the year would be like Autumn or Spring. . . . [Unintended consequences?]
Corruption, of any level. If we could completely eliminate this, the world would be a completely different place.
No pollution OR no Transphobes and Homophobes. Too bad that’s just life, but I just HATE it when people don’t except other people for who they are, like 🤦🏽♀️
That everyone only clapped when they ment it. That way, people would feel better when the viewers clapped.
I actually find everything on Earth to be perfect the way it is.
It's a gorgeous planet, and I think we humans will find our way to live together cohesively at some point if we allow ourselves to do so.
It certainly isn't perfect, but it is good. I like your positivity.
If the question means changing one thing about HUMANS to make the world/earth a better place to live . . . I would magically give people the ability to change their minds when confronted with new evidence that didn't already match their existing beliefs. This should be emphasized in schools and should be a part of so-called "intelligence tests". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Note: Only 1/3 of people with average or above reasoning skills have the ability to change their minds.

Eliminate light pollution so all people could experience the grandeur of the Milky Way.
Money and resources should be divided equally between everyone. No poverty, no billionaires.
"It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded." - Bill Hicks.
Make it cease to exist. I know. I'm a beacon of positivity.
I would completely eliminate money. No one gets paid, but everything is free. This also stops bribes, which in turn lowers corruption. Also, inflation won't matter and things won't be so pricy.
I would replace money with trade, because you need something to make everything balanced.
That water would weigh less than it does. 1 gallon weighs 8 pounds!
I know it's a total cliché, but it would genuinely be poverty. I'd stop children starving to death. I'd stop western children going to bed hungry. I'd ensure everyone has access to clean, safe drinking water. I'd do this using education and stopping corrupt governments from scalping their people just for a buck, which would have a knock on effect on the environment. If people in the 3rd world are wealthy enough to ensure they can live, not just survive. Without corrupt leaders people will no longer be allowed to break ships for wages that amount to slavery.
is it just me, or are there too many things that need changing? one of them is...idk...poverty?racism?communism? oh wait no we need to get rid of those.... help me yall
Humans and global warming. A lot of people I know think global warming is something that is in the near future when it's happening now. It just feels so stupid to have to explain that our planet is dying because of choices the human race made and continues to make even though we know these actions are killing the planet. I have a friend who studied the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and it was surreal seeing images of all that trash and how massive the Patch is. Many people I know have never heard of it and I feel everyone should know about it. Ice caps are melting and destroying habitats for animals because so much natural gas and CO2 are released from non-electric vehicles. These gasses are creating a blanket around the Earth which keeps heat in and in doing so warms up the world. Something that helps is trees. They suck in the CO2 and store it. However, humans are cutting down trees which releases all that gas back. Here's my final sentence: If you can, plant a tree.
Well technically 2 things, 1. All the my body my choice NEEDS to be allowed (not going into it) and 2. Health care (mental or physical) should be free. No matter what. Regardless of what kind of help you need. Yes Doctors should be paid but people should get the help they need for free.
To borrow a line from Jesus: I'd make it so that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are satisfied.
Don't want to post it up there so... all career violent criminals would just disappear. Poof and they are gone.
