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.
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.
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.
And then Trump stomped on the remains and took a shit on them.
Wie is de koning van Wezel?
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.
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.
Free shrugs lol.
The weasel just wanted to go to a timeline where his family is alive.
It didn't know it would create the Weaselpoint paradox.
Some say that to this day the weasel is still there being accelerated ever closer to the speed of light.
Shine on, you crazy diamond!
that lucky bastard.
and just how many times has this ...weasel thing happened?
let me guess. it's impossible to know.
To quote Douglas Adams about a similar concept in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened"
The TenForward memes have escaped containment again.
It could have already happened hundreds of times and we would never know it.
omg Sadam's aware of the loop. he's laying that way in protest of reality!

Portal 3 plot leaked.
Weasel is a typo. It’s suppose to be Wheatley.
Wheatley was accidentally accelerated past the speed of light and now exists outside of time in a godlike state.
Still can’t make decent puzzle rooms for shit.
I'm aware of the theory that a stupid cop shooting a gorilla put us in this fucked up timeline.
I missed that Pauly Shore movie.
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.
Was it a lab leak, or live market?
Where's Gordy when you need him?
