Reality Disruption
If you had to remove one sandboxels element from reality, which one would cause the least damage, which one would cause the most damage and which one would you want to remove?

Has to be a sandboxels element that exists in real life, either as an element, material, object, animal or concept.
it also prevents said removed thing from being able to be made again, like removing tomato doesnt remove the plant but the plant loses the ability to create the fruit and will go extinct without the ability to create fruit
or removing concrete causes wet cement to not harden when the water dries, simply turning back into a powder

probably air
most damage: proton
least damage: pyrocumulus ?
want to remove: cancer

Least Damage: Smog
Most Damage:Neutron(Everything is hydrogen)
Want to remove:Nuke
i think proton removal is more damaging than neutron removal

Ig least damage would technically be unknown
Because it doesn't actually exist irl
But then, calling it a single element os a stretch
Ig both would still cause very big problems
neutron removal still allows hydrogen atoms to exist
proton removal doesn't allow any atoms to exist
i'm not sure what the aftermath of neutron removal would be
cause the hydrogen would still clump up, into large masses
and then what?
is fusion impossible or does it do something new and special?

wouldn't atoms just generally fall apart
i specified specifically elements that exist in real life
as either objects, elements, materials or concepts
i mean unknown could technically be considered a concept
removing the concept of the unknown would be pretty bad i think
in way too many ways to count
all of them except hydrogen but yeah
very very violent explosions
i wonder what would be the most destructive on a human scale
like removing protons would be destructive sure but it would also probably kill everything all at once
concrete would destroy so much
steel and aluminum would also be terrible for infrastructure and most technology
molten iron
suddenly the earth collapses slightly
ooh
iron loses the ability to melt
and also like half of the core is gone
continues staying solid until reaches boiling point
then sublimation
yeah that would ruin the entire industry of
like nearly everything
and also the core of the earth is destablized
global earthquakes surpassing anything ever seen before
probably on other planets too
definitely
removing ozone would be pretty bad
removing body would cause terrible worldwide terror for like 4 seconds
wait
what if we remove light
oh shit
wait
what would count as light
photons
would it be the entire electromagnetic spectrum or just visible light
hmmm
entire spectrum seems more fun

what if i removed the random pixel, it can place any pixel
would that remove everything or remove randomization (if the universe isnt already written) or would it just remove a random element
the one id want to remove would be like cancer or smth
and the least damage would be strange matter or gray goo, because that doesnt exist and even if it did, the world would be destroyed
has to exist irl (for the last bits)
strange matter isn't confirmed AFAIK
and gray goo def doesnt exist

oh
if i picked border would country borders be destroyed
no
border seems like a fictional sandboxels element
kinda like how rainbow doesnt actually represent like
the weather phenomenon
removing gray goo would make it so the creation of gray goo would become impossible
that is if it was possible to create in the first place

In the sun, hydrogen(without neutrons) fuses into helium(with neutrons) but that would be impossible
Also, I picked neutrons not to seem like I'm copying

Ig on a human scale, something like deleting cells would be the most destructive
Well, planetary scale, assuming no messing with anything internal
(and only really counts if stuff like deleting all the iron in the core doesn't)

Removing dust would probably be beneficial anyway, removing blood would be the end of mankind and many animals, I would probably remove rotten meat
