This is a shittier version of this skit
Isn’t Jenkins the robot servant in the masterpiece City by Simak? Great book!
If we killed hitler we would have more competent nazi and possibly still third reich over here but no Poland and I am selfish I wanna exist ya know
Best person would be trump as it is recent enough to not suddenly cease to exist due to various butterfly effects, still pretty risky though. All of people that died by accidents between trump election and today would be from different, new set. You can calculate probability even based on average yearly accidents.
God I shudder to think what if u killed Julius Caesar. We would be like unrecognisable due to all branching out possibilities over the years. Real quantum parallel worlds shit
The good news is that if someone went back and changed the past, then events would transpire such that they never had to go back in time for that reason, and so they wouldn’t., i.e. nothing would change. Not unless the whole exercise spins only the time traveler off into their own new universe in which they’re the only one with a memory of this alternative timeline from which they came.
Might be able to avoid The Nazis and The Bolsheviks gaining power altogether by going to 1970, buying a year’s worth of McDonald’s food, and delivering it to Taft in 1911. He’s so damn fat he got stuck in the tub in The White House. He’ll happily eat that shit and hopefully die before the 1912 election, allowing Teddy to have his third and fourth term. In a head to head race between Roosevelt and Wilson, Wilson doesn’t have a prayer of winning.
what if u killed Julius Caesar
Wonder what the month of July would be called?
All months will be named after Pompey.
September
Then what would September be?
November
Let’s make it easier, what are all the months in the new timeline where Julius Caesar was killed before becoming famous called?
Well now we’re getting really speculative. But probably what we have now but with something like undember or under and duoly or duoer in the 11 and 12 month positions.
Well if Brutus took over, Brutey?
I thought this was going to be a dev ops joke at first then it never came
I prefer this version:
How would murdering a modern Scottish rock band stop the world wars?
They asked to be taken out, what more do you need to go on?
I prefer this version: Wikihistory
The hardest choices require the strongest wills. They do not remember you, nor what you’ve sacrificed… but I will honor you, slayer of Jenkins, hero to humanity o7
At least he had chicken.
Harold Jenkins from umbrella academy?
Well, was Jenkins worse than Hitler?
My inclination is that Hitler was the least bad way out of that situation. Give Germany another decade and some other nationalist party would come to power, only this time they’ve got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first. Or maybe the leader isn’t a drug-addled former artist who gets his entire staff hooked on uppers and they’re actually effective at defeating their enemies.
So the reason we always seem to have Hitler is because the time cops keep people from killing him because the other timelines are even worse.
Then what are the time cops doing about Trump?
Shit… is this evidence that he’s the lesser of two evils? I don’t know if I can handle that thought.
The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…
There are no “time cops” because even existing in the past changes things. It’s impossible to change the past and return to “the present” that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.
Would explain the failed assassination attempts
I wished I could go back in time and kill DevOps, before it became a thing.
Kids these days aren’t even extratemporal enough to remember Jenkins smh
Wait, I think I’m experiencing the Mandello effect…
It’s the Mengele Effect.
It’s called the Mandeller effect. You’re trying to stir shit up, aren’t you?
