If the Death Note were real, would you use it?

I want to know what people think about the Death Note.

If it were real, would you use it? taking into account that within the Death Note universe the concepts "Heaven", "Hell" "shinigami world" "shinigami" are real, as a rule if you use the Death Note you will not go to heaven or hell. So, even following all the known rules of the Death Note would you use it? Who would you kill and why?

It'd be cool to have somebody to talk to, even if it's a creepyasallhell shinigami, but otherwise no. Can't imagine killing anybody.

Hell yes I would use it right away if I get my hands on it . I would use it on every anime fan who does not like one piece , or dropped one piece , or if they refuse to watch/read one piece , or if they think one piece is not peak fiction.

Fuck yeah. I'll use it to kill so many shitty international criminals/terrorists and politicians. I don't really care about heaven and hell. I know it sounds edgy but that is the most logical and the best way to use it. Obviously, there would be nobody like L in the real world so I can use it leisurely. Just to be safe, I'll make this seem like god's judgement. I'll do this every now and then on a particular date/time and people might think this is some sort of an event that punctually takes place.

Yeah ,I would use it. There are a lot of dictators and war mongering politicians in this world. I think the world would be a better place if someone killed these war mongering dictators before they are able to start wars and harm innocent people's life.

My general answer is a resounding NOPE. I believe in fair trials, the right to defend oneself and redemption/reintegration of criminals into society. Having a death penalty to me is a sign of a barbaric society, so I sure as heck wouldn't be handing them out myself.

That said, in the long run, I'd probably be tempted to use it for selfish purposes? Like, I'd find people who are about to die anyways and use the Death Note to manipulate them during their final minutes and make them do stuff that benefits me, like tell their family their dying wish is to help me, or have them wire me their inheritance, lol.
So I'd rather not have a Death Note at all because I don't want that kind of temptation in my life.

You know what's neither heaven nor hell? ISEKAI. Hell yeah! I'm using the Death Note for my benefit but maybe not too much that it gets media attention and lie low in case a world renowned detective is on the case.

Killing those ppl won't solve your problem tho. I think the problem isn't your politicians, rather it's your way of thinking. If the citizens have the same mentality as you, it's very easy for politicians to abuse you then. Stop finding fault on other ppl, and start looking at your own incompetence first.

Cool story bro. They steal people money in broad daylight, escape any form of punishment because they are the government, and will continue to rule by controlling the media and make people believes their lies. I'm the problem, ok. GTFO

You are allowing them to do that. Seriously this is why the world is in its current miserable state. Because ppl love to hate on politicians, preach change and then continue to drink their coffee, go to work, eat, shit, sleep like nothing is happening. Killing won't change anything. More bad politicians will arise. If you give a human power, he'll abuse it, no matter the political regime or his own past.

The audacity. Allowed them? You think people don't have their full plates already? It's the single mom who have to worked 12 hours a day is to blame for how corrupt politician got their way! How could she not stopped them? How could she work,eat,shit,sleep like nothing is happening?

Don't give me that bullshit. Not everyone have the luxury to even think about something beside their life. You want to believe it's the people duty to fight corruption or they deserve to suffer while not giving a single thought about their circumstances. Do you assume everyone is living a privileged live like you?

If killing don't change anything, why do we have war? When words don't have anymore meaning, people resort to killing. It's not about being right, it's about who's left.

I believe in good politicians, they exist which is why I'll make way for them.

Me? Privileged? My parents are both teachers in a country that barely allows them to make a living. I'm tired of ppl whining about politicans and change. You want sth you have to get it. If single moms working 12 hours a day can't make change, they don't have to. There are billions of other ppl in this world. I don't know what it's like where you live, but here everyone is massive jerk who thinks they deserve the world and blame everything on someone else constantly. "Oh my life is so bad, the world is unfair!" yeah it is, so what? What's whining about it gonna do? Nothing.

And we have wars because ppl are too ignorant to wake up and realize violence leads to more violence and it's just a never-ending cycle of stupidity and futility.

You believe in good politicians? Well good for you. Ignorance is bliss.

Question, in this case scenario could we ask the Shinigami to take us back in time like 35 years? Because I could had had a real good use of a Death Note back then, I would end up being a mini 10/11 years old Light.
If time travel was not possible, I wouldn't use it, why would I use it? 90% of the names I would have written on it are death, some even died peacefully in their sleep. I wouldn't spend time and energies trying to "fix" this world, going around whacking Putin or Biden etc fudge that! You civilians can deal with them, after all your the real problem not the elites.
You civilians are all asleep in front of the tv/phones letting the elites control you left and right.

Exactly, I would personally burn it so no-one else could use it either. I'm honestly a bit surprised most people would indeed use it, maybe my own values are just too pacifistic lol.

nah i think that people should be allowed to redeem themselves whether good or bad tbh like if a man goes to prison he might come back changed and he has done atonement for what he has done. imma get philosophical but life is precious i wouldnt want them to take mine so dont take theirs its the one thing that u have in this world and i think i would def kms if i used that death note bcs i would think about how their family feels and such and that would get me done and depressed in the anime it might seem a bit fun but in the real world it would be depressing and stressful

No, that is too much power for a single human being. It may be tempting to say let's kill all the corrupt leaders, politicians, billionaires, etc. but killing them does not automatically solve the problem and if any, may give way to more problems. Like you may be able to instantly kill off a heartless dictator but it could result in a power vacuum that would end up propelling someone worse to power. Or cause political instability that actually makes the country fold. And if your answer is just kill the corrupt successor, then you're just gonna keep killing and killing without actually trying to address why the corruption exists in the first place.

Yes, of course I would. Though it’s hard to say whether or not I would use it to reach the heights of political power or the heights of the corporate world, to become one of the top 1%.

Though, the later would give me all the wealth I’d need to control politics anyway, since wealth moves policy.

Obviously, I'll try to do the same thing as Light lmao. I'm 90% sure there ain't anyone like L irl to actually counter someone with a DN. I mean since I have watched the anime, I'll be extra cautious and use it in a random manner if suspicions arise.

Not to mention, since most of the people dying will be major criminals, terrorists, and dictators there's no way anyone is gonna think "Oh yeah someone with a death note might be there and they are the ones doing it" lol. The first suspicions will obviously go to America since they are notorious for placing drone strikes and secret operations. This isn't an anime lol. Irl no one would suspect goofy shit like that
