What if we had a device/power that turned opinions into facts?

Do you mean the media?

[Cagey 4,205]

If everyone had it, there’d be too many contradictions and nothing would ever be a fact for too long because people would be trying to change each other’s changes.

Also, just thinking aloud: just because they’re facts doesn’t mean people will suddenly believe them, right?

[Awkward Segway 301]

I'd use my opinion that it shouldn't exist to make all of the devices stop existing.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Somebody I will not name has this power over his brainwashed supporters.

 

What's worse is sometimes what he says is a blatant lie and not even a matter of opinion.

I could make Octavia the definitive best pone.

11/10 would turn opinion into fact again!

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

We already have that, it's called the internet.

[Jesse Terrence 2,963]

That would be a nightmare, because dumb people could make things that would end up in our demise since they ignore many known facts ehich they disagree with make life possible on this planet xD

[AppleButt 8,669]

People would start falling off the edge of the earth cause it’d turn flat

[Misty Shadow 7,069]

Math would end up not being real and people would be fighting over whether 2+2 equals 5, 6, or fish. 

[Here No Longer 5,270]

We already have one. He's sometimes referred to as Agent Orange.

If we had such a machine, It would be a great time to take out the popcorn

It would be worse. There's also cube Earth theory. Also some see Earth as just a pancake, others imagine the turtle and the elephants carrying it. Some see a dome 'firmament' and others don't, and they disagree on what is at the edges. Earth would be thrust into some weird permanent quantum state of uncertaintly, never having a definitive form. We'd probably be twisted up into a hypercube or some kind of singularity, destroying all life as we know it.

At first I thought contradictions could be solved by branching everyone off into separate universes where their logic can remain consistent. But then various people can believe or disbelieve in the existence of the multiverse. So this would be like dividing reality itself by zero.

[DubWolf 16,591]

If we did, I would say I don't think this device exist  .

[Steve Piranha 28,752]

Ewwww . I’ll immediately use it to destroy it for all of us forever. Kinda afraid of what’ll become of our world with so many freaks having this kind of power

You haven't even heard the best one yet. Spring Earth theory. The entire Earth is a coil and right now the coil is being press together with space jelly, but when that jelly isn't strong enough anymore it'll uncoil rapidly causing the Earth to bounce into a new solar system.

[Megas 27,052]

Y’all know I’d use this to convince everyone that Newbie Dash was a piece of trash, enough for even Hasbro to retcon it

[Emerald Heart 24,559]

It would be a nightmare 

[Quinch 1,119]

Everyone but the first person to use it would turn into idiots.

...there's pretty good odds they're one to begin with, tho.

[AveryGamerDude 4,640]

Well, I don't know if it would be a good thing if I had that ability. :x

[Props Valroa 25,982]

Oh, hah. Lets just say the world would change very quickly...

[TBD 17,228]

Well- if is, then I say I'm a ruler of the world and everyone shall obey me 

[Fluttershutter 2,114]

My opinion is that would be a bad idea.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

What would be the difference? Most people regard their opinions as fact anyway.
