The weasel getting into the supercollider around 2014 and throwing us to the Hell Timeline.
2014? World’s been fucked for a looong time before that :D Like, a century before that lol
True. But the open gate into the Event Horizon dimension is kinda new.
Probably either stop Columbus or Hitler.
Columbus is a good one. If you’re into Native American history I recently read this book found it really interesting
I’ve always wondered what it would look like if someone could travel back in time like 200 years before the discovery of the Americas and share a bunch of technology with native Americans, like guns and whatnot, and then warn them to never trust the people coming across the ocean in a few hundred years.
Depends how far back in history. I would worry about unintentionally making things worse or erasing myself from existence, Back-to-the-Future style. I’d probably go with something low stakes like “don’t spill milk on the floor last week”.
The spilled milk stopped a wild bear coming in and eating you. Now the milk is gone the bear is present
erasing myself from existence
Hmm, that would be my goal 🤔
I don’t want to pretend I can foresee the unforeseeable consequences of altering the past, even slightly, so I wouldn’t change a thing.
“Oh look, it’s raining again…!”
Same. I’m not a god, I’m not gonna pretend to be.
Still, it’d be fun to twiddle a knob and find the result
Thought that about my own life. I’ll eat it, mistakes and all.
First fish to crawl onto land, I’d boot it as far back into the water as I could.
Ooohhh, no, I ain’t messing with time like that.
Too many unpredictables.
It’s always nice to think about preventing the inquisition, or Nazi Germany, or whatever horror humankind has perpetrated.
But trying to undo something that major, you can’t know what all will change. There’s threads wiggling through the tapestry of time, and you start snipping one, and ten others can fall loose.
That being said, I’m going to risk undoing the debacle that was New Coke. That was an abomination, and even if we end up worse for the lack of it, it would be worth it
I’m gonna distract Trump with shiny things so he never runs for office
Stop Obama from roasting Trump at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Might have prevented everything since.
A certain Austrian being rejected for art school.
Climbing out of the trees. Barring that, agriculture. Shit went downhill fast from that point on.
The writing of the Christian bible.
Prevent whatever ape who gave birth to the ape which had the mutation which eventually led to humans being born from mating.
The planet would be so much better off.
