How should we solve overpopulation? It's a rather hard question to ask as the solutions are either genocide, massacres, general human right violations, or something that makes humanity look extremely stupid.

Solving Overpopulation

There is no solution. No matter how many wars we have and how many people die. People are going to keep having sex and because of that they will continue to have children. You take thousands of people out there who are screwing, you're going to get thousands of kids. We breed as fast as rabbits.
A average women can only have one child a year, assuming that the rate of twins is still 1 in 250, we can expect the average women, in her entire lifetime, can only have 12-15 children in a entire lifespan. A rabbit has 7-15 a litter, depending on the lifespan, the rabbit can have around 35 rabbits. Rabbits appear to bred much faster than humans.
I was using rabbits as a metaphor, dude. Since we're already over populated, we're still having kids like crazy if you take into account the hundreds of thousands of women out there who are pregnant. We would need a more aggressive strain of Covid to dwindle our numbers.
That would mainly just kill off most of the non-populating elderly. Which wouldn't really solve the problem. The problem isn't old people, the problem is people around 21-45, which just so happen to be the people that are the healthiest.
Would it be wrong to say "Send Naiwen; people will see her and immediately zip up/snip it."
There's not a safe solution. What's really going to happen is that we're going to fuck ourselves right into extinction. We're going to keep breeding and breeding. Our food supplies & resources won't be able to sustain the mass population. More and more species will be driven to extinction. Pollution and greenhouse emissions will keep climbing. Starvation and global pandemics will become the new normal.
