...what would your modus operandi?

would you be an instantly debilitating then fatal kind, or more a sneak-up-on-your-victim and malinger with malice type?

what would be your speciality?
 
Increasing fertility to increase the host population could work, but humans are overpopulated now. Maybe that will happen in a few centuries.
 
Highly contageous but not actually dangerous, so nobody bother developing a vaccine, and with an embarrassing symptom, like invonvenient flatulence.
 
I want to be a disease that flips the inherent paradigm of all things. You know how there are broad constants in reality? The dynamic of experience? I want to be a disease that not only upsets that, but one that doubles it over on itself so incomprehensibly that it re-invents the human condition. Contracting me would be like being born again without having to die. It would mean still being you, but also being irrevocably changed for the better. So if you see me walking down the street, come up and say hi, let's get to know each other so I can get inside you and reshape revolution into evolution.

The lowest hanging fruit would be reducing sex that's not penis in vagina, such as making cum taste worse. Neurological changes that reduce homosexuality would be next. Then it gets more complex with monogamy or polygamy and orgasms, which increase the probability of conception.

i :heart: this answer
 
I think a disease that flips people sex would be pretty cool. No one dies but it would be pay back time all round. The only people with immunity would be trans folk because, well we would :cool:
 
I would not want to be a disease...but

I would not want to be a disease but if I was going to design a micro-organism I would think in terms of a bacteria that does no harm to healthy tissue but destroys all viruses.

It would also be nice if a micro-organism could generate synaptic links that would reverse brain damage from smoking dope. That would help in finding an overall cure for liberalism. Have you noticed that those that use drugs almost always think that socialism is a good idea?
 
Thinking as a human: Very contagious, airborne, with the effect of making humans infertile until their prefrontal cortex matures--between 25 and 30 or so. (Inspired by Sherri Tepper's books)

Thinking as a disease: very contagious, airborne, with undetectable symptoms that don't kill my hosts.
 
odourless thrush.

i could be around interesting places for ages without anyone bothering.
 
I would want to be a virus that only affected terrorists and their supporters. It would slowly shut down one organ at a time while their skin sloughed off slowly.

This idea came from a book entitled The White plague by Frank Herbert who wrote Dune.

Do you really not have anything in life to do but create these stupid threads?

God bless Harry, you are fucking retarded.

Eta, she is a butt licking retard. Funny when Fata even called her out.

I'd be Politicolingus. Directly affects any politician that tries for a third term in office. The main symptom would be the tongue falling out. :)
