    The world runs on hate

    There are a lot of things wrong with the world.  On one hand, it is bad that there are so many excesses and evils afflicting society.  On the other hand, it is a good thing because it keeps satirists employed.

    A perfect world would be perfectly horrible.  Could you imagine what life would be like if your day went like the following:

    • Wake up when you are supposed to and feel like getting out of bed.
    • After a quick shower and change, you can wander into your mansion's kitchen and enjoy freshly prepared, cinnamon-swirl french toast.  With some orange juice and an espresso beverage of your liking.
    • Satisfied, you get in your flying car and 'drive' to work.  With release.
    • At work, you play video games with all of the best friends you had growing up.  That's your job.  I don't know how it works since I'm not a business major.
    • The office, instead of a water cooler, has Dairy Milk fountains.
      • Dairy Milk would still have the same benefits that it does in our world (clears one's complexion, removes split-ends, and causes one's body to resemble that of an attractive super model of their same gender).
      • Also, there would be carrot juice, orange smoothies, and bubble tea for 'daring' individuals who didn't care about their complexion or figure or hair.
    • After work you could either see a good movie (there wouldn't be any bad ones) or go to a video arcade (they would still be in business).  There would be no traffic and a plethora of free, convenient parking options.
    • Everyone would have a weekly art quota.  If one failed to meet the quota they would be put to death in a painful and excruciating way.  This wouldn't apply to children under the age of sixteen.  You would have to set aside time, every evening, for painting or satire or poetry or interpretive dance or whatever -- things you put off today because the constitution doesn't properly force you to be a better person.
    • Halo 3 would have the pistol from Halo: Combat Evolved.  And it would have perfect remakes of Chill Out, Damnation, and the PC's version of Sidewinder.  It would be a great way to relax with your friends and loved ones after your evening's art -- since women would finally understand how dual-analog sticks work and have fun at the game.  With everyone in the world happy and content, your opponents would be friendly and considerate.  "Oy, sorry 'bout that ass-whoopin', g'venor."  "No worries, brah.  Have a pleasant evening reaming the next chump."  "G'day to you, too."
    • You wouldn't have to brush your teeth, since cavities would be extinct and gingivitis would be illegal.  Everyone's eye-sight would be perfect, so there wouldn't be any need to take out contacts.  Makeup would instantly dissolve by thought.  As a result, there wouldn't be any need to use the bathroom before turning in for the night.  Also, your pets would have already fed/walked themselves and made sure that your dvr is properly set for the next day's television.
    • Every night you would fall asleep in the company of the person that you love.  The sleep would occur immediately after your partner had sufficient cuddling.  And they wouldn't cheat on you with Steve (of all people) when you are at pottery class.  The only reason you were at the stupid class was to make her a present, anyway.
    • Your parents would have taken responsibility for raising you properly, so you wouldn't be messed up like you are now.  That means no more dealing with unfocused anger and stressing over your immense self-loathing, and shrinks would be extinct.  Having proper parenting would grant you the peaceful, lucid dreams that only rich people are privy to in our world.

    Doesn't that sound horrible?  The world would probably die of liver disease from all of the saccharine.  That's why the machines had to recreate the world into the imperfect one we currently 'live' in.  Joy.
