Imagine you could push a button that would release a computer virus so malignant that it would absolutely destroy the internet as we know it. Would you push it?

No.
But I would push the button that would kill the worst 5% of the assholes on the internet. |
|
Do we have a strategic reserve of printed porn in this scenario?

I though you were talking about blowing the hatches off of underground silos and shit.

Press the button.
Sounds just like the Monty Hall problem: Alway chose Carol Myrel's box |

It's ironic that high post count GDer's want to destroy the internet, the place they are on day and night. Apparently the constant dope use has killed what's left of the brain cells.

This doesn't mean an internet would not ever exist... it would just have to be rebuilt from the ground up.

No but if I had a button that would drop a nuke on Facebook,Twitter and Google, I would break my finger pushing it.
|
|
|
Nope. I like the Internet.
But a button that kills every rotten commie and socialist on the planet? Without hesitation. |
|
I would push it multiple times, then rip it out, and bypass the contacts.

I would push the button for the sole reason of getting my beautiful niece off of Instagram for 9 hours a day.

Would it delete all work email or just prevent anybody from sending and receiving future email?

Hell no. Why would anyone want to destroy the last bastion of freedom left in the world? Who would want to go back to the day when the ONLY source of any news was corporate leftist media?

View Quote It would radically reset the political power structure of the country: Bezos broke, Schmidt broke, Google broken, Zuckerberg broke, Dorsey broke. Conservatism only thrives on the edges of the internet and is being pushed further and further out each day. There will be a time very soon when we won't have a place here at all. Nuking it before that would be good. |
