except in the other timeline, the hadron collider opened a black hole and swallowed the earth whole.
they got the better outcome regardless
Correct, but they got sucked into an alternative reality and plan full assault on Judgement Day
Well they should bloody well hurry up then.
They're waiting for you, Gordon. In the test chamberrrr.
I like the theory that the Mayans were right and the world ended in 2012.
A redwood can be dead and still stand for years...
2012 was the start of the end, and it wasn't just an instantaneous catastrophe.
I have to agree with Stephen King and say that the Kennedy assassination was the moment it snapped.
Going heavy in Vietnam started the destruction of the US economy, and Nixon tripled down on it.
didn't know king wrote a book about that, so chatgpt gave me this link with the relevant book passage. Whole interview is pretty interesting https://www.jfklibrary.org/events-and-awards/kennedy-library-forums/past-forums/transcripts/a-conversation-with-stephen-king
The most unpleasant thing about that novel was that fixing things made it infinitely worse.
"The Big Time" by Fritz Leiber. The Change War is being fought on every planet in the universe from the moment of the Big Bang to the end of time. Two sides, the Spiders and the Snakes, are trying to rewrite history for their own purposes. The Law Of Conservation of Reality states that Time will oppose any change, so you have to fight the same battles over and over and over in order to get any changes.
Fun book.
Wie is de koning van Wezel?
This timeline is great. I'm going to go ahead and continue living my life and enjoying the timeline I'm in. Not finding ways to constantly make myself depressed by finding and pointing out every negative aspect I dislike. I try to focus on all of the positives instead.
Are you advocating blissful ignorance as a like. Lifestyle? I'm glad that you have enough money and stability to do that lol if you're poor or marginalized blissful ignorance is not an option if you intend to survive.
No. I'm just advocating for focusing on the positives in life. I enjoy technology and engineering. Just got a 3D printer and am absolutely loving learning about it and improving my abilities in CAD. Also love going out hiking and spending time outdoors, my state has really being making a lot of improvements in that area.
People on these forums don't like positive inflections unless you are positively shitting on the west.
Downvote if I'm right.
I mean, good for you, it's good to have hobbies. But do you have no empathy for your fellow humans? I'm guessing your skin isn't a shade that might get you sent to CECOT... yet. If you ignore what's happening they may eventually come for you too.
Honestly, same. It's just harder to make jokes about life being amazing.
It was a Field Marten, not a weasel. The Pompiers still share around the image of its incredibly crispy corpse that was retrieved from the service tunnels at CMS Point 5.
Timeline thing is whatever, the collisions happening in LHC are less energetic than sunlight on a sq cm of grass, they're just much better controlled and measured.
I guess the NPR article screenshot comes from the other timeline where it was a weasel then.
Free shrugs lol.
It's part of the weasel family.
Technically no, both Weasles and Martens are part of the Mustelidae family, but they're different. I remember one of the shifters being super indignant about it lol.
I am with you on your distinction, but if you were to choose a mascot for the Mustelids (something notable to represent the whole family) I'm guessing a weasel would be the candidate.
The weasel just wanted to go to a timeline where his family is alive.
It didn't know it would create the Weaselpoint paradox.
No, because all this shit can be traced back directly to Regan, and probably Nixon. Nixon cut the break line and Regan shoved it off the cliff.
Americans really do think they are the center of the universe
McCarthy really fucked it all up for us in 1954 with the lavender and red scares. That helped set the stage for those later cunts.
I think we made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Even the trees had been a bad move, no-one should ever have left the oceans.
enveloping our genetic material within lipid bilayer membranes was where it all went wrong imo
Should never have developed genetic material in the first place...
The murder of Lincoln and not fixing the country after the civil war is probably the root especially for the southern strategy that Nixon would go on to use.
The murder of both Kennedy brothers is the next point, because it opened the door for Nixon who got the economy ready to inflate and fuck over Carter, which got us Reagan and the rest of the “conservatives “ who are actually fascist racists greedy asswipes.
Well I guess absorbing enormous amounts of Nazi scientists, agents and soldiers into it's service did not help much either.
Weirdly enough that was largely the most negligible effect, most of the ones that were absorbed were revanchists not ideological Nazis. While we can debate the morals of dead men they weren't the worst of the worst, those were left in Germany or fled to South America and Apartheid Africa. Most of the ones absorbed just really wanted to fuck over the Soviets, which at the time was also the goal of NATO and Yugoslavia.
Why would Yugoslavia actively want to duck over the soviets
Here's something not many people consider.
Before Reagan, popular media had tons of intellectual content. Superheroes would hang out with Edgar Allan Poe or Sitting Bull. Cartoons like Mr. Peabody taught kids the names of historical figures and Bugs Bunny played opera.
Then Reagan deregulated kids TV and you got half hour long commercials for GI Joe and The Transformers.
Holy shit, you are right….and I can remember that shift vividly.
I'm getting upvotes, so apparently we aren't the only ones who figured it out.
And then Trump stomped on the remains and took a shit on them.
I missed that Pauly Shore movie.
