i am pretty sure that the belief that you could solve problems with the death note is the problem that you cannot solve with the death note.

anyway, i commented about this in a chat, and someone said they would try to use the death note to eradicate diseases, and probably get killed by the shinigami for doing it wrong, which would at least solve the shinigami's problem

i think i see how this plays out

my friend: writes "Cyclospora Cayetenensis is killed by a team of highly skilled medical researchers"

>realizes I wasn't keeping the victim's face in mind while writing their name

>applies to a microbio degree program

>looks directly at the cyclospora through my lab microscope while writing in the death note

>yet another nothing happens

>realizes the names we assign to organisms are probably not their names for death note purposes

>gets shinigami eyes to learn cyclospora's real name

>looks in the microscope again

>doesn't see anything

>confronts my shoulder shinigami about ripping me off

>"why the fuck would parasites have names anon"

>I'm thousands of dollars deep in student loans and lost half my lifespan for nothing

There you are, comrade! I knew you'd come to see me off!

Come to think of it, I've been away from home for quite a while... By now, Teucer and the others must be wondering what's taking their big brother so long...

Once I'm home, I can finally finish telling Teucer those ghost stories I promised him. Then, the next time you visit, he can tell them to you himself.
