What if Bill Gates Disappeared?

The world would be a better, safer, and more peaceful place.

His plan to force us to eat sythetic meat made from a fungus would die.

Because cows account for around 4% of all greenhouse gases, Gates has invested in two companies making plant based meat substitutes, Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat. But farming the vegetables used to make many meat alternatives emits gases as well, so Gates is also backing a company that’s created an entirely new food source.

Bill Gates: “This company, Nature’s Fynd, is using fungis. And then they turn them into sausage and yogurt. Pretty amazing.”

Anderson Cooper: “When you say fungi, do you mean like mushroom or a microbe?”

Bill Gates: “It’s a microbe.”

The microbe was discovered in the ground in a geyser in Yellowstone National Park. Without soil or fertilizer it can be grown to produce this nutritional protein — that can then be turned into a variety of foods with a small carbon footprint.

What's for dinner mom?

Supervolcano fungus sausage, son.

I wonder how many people expressing their abject and blind hatred of Gates are typing on a Windows-based computer.

I'd be willing to bet money there's more people on ats right now running either a linux based android phone or a Unix based iphone.

I wonder how well you would have done without their contributions

The entire computer industry would be a lot farther along and in a far more open state if hardware manufacturers weren't forced into paying a Microsoft license by making agreements with intel and amd.

And now thanks to Microsoft, every computer you buy comes with uefi, a microsoft owned framework that replaced the traditional BIOS system. Thanks to uefi, companies such as canonical, red hat etc. Are now forced to pay Microsoft to have major linux distributions 'officially' signed, allowing them to be installed on your computer. If these companies weren't paying the new Microsoft firmware tax, installing linux on a modern computer would be hell.

No...Microsoft can go to hell, they also didn't do jack #, the bought DOS under a shady deal, didn't pay royalties on it and profited off it. Microsoft is and always has been a terrible company responsible for stifling innovation and aggressively dominating and controlling the computer industry.

The world would be far better if they had never existed.

Heck, Microsoft made a bundle out of selling bug riddled software and then charging the users a fee just to call them and have them tell you to reload the OS and see if that helps.

Satan, laughing, would spread his wings?
But on a lighter note, the doomsday clock would probably tick back to quarter to midnight and the balance in the force would be disturbed by an almighty sigh of relief from the cherubic choir.

Melinda seems to be becoming the dominant one. She might wear the pants in the family now.
