Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference...

  I think we’re experiencing quantum immortality.

  You can achieve quantum immortality through this experiment: Play russian roulette with yourself for as many rounds as you like. In the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics a particle takes up every possible position of its wave function in parallel universes. Since you can only experience a universe in which you are alive you will experience those where the particles aligned for you to win russian roulette. Of course everyone else is more likely to experience a universe in which you are dead.

  Now, with all the crises happening in the last century it is exceedingly likely that a world ending event happened. Since we cannot experience those universes where they did happen, the universe we do find ourselves in is getting more and more unlikely. More and more ridiculous.

  Of course the most ridiculous event was the killing of Harambe, dooming us to the worst timeline possible.

    Hello? Yes, I would like one survivorship bias, please, but could you add some physics and a little philosophy so it’s less obvious I have an untestable, maladaptive hypothesis? Oh, and coping mechanisms on half. Thanks!

    In all seriousness, it’s a fun theory, but it’s unknowable at this point.

      It’s not unknowable, you just have to conduct enough tests personally to have a reasonable level of confidence.

      You shouldn’t, but you could.

    I think there are 99 Dead Timelines where Vasily Arhkipov or Stannislav Petrov weren’t at work.

  Yeah, let’s blame this shit show on time travelers and not on the racist dumb fucks we voted into power. Whatever we do, let’s not take responsibility for our actions and blame it on anything else.

    I think many of us are just desperate for answers because it is difficult to believe the people around you really are this stupid.

      Believing in a god, aliens, time travelers or any other fairytale isn’t going to help anyone.

  I think humans are just stupid animals that aren’t capable of maintaining a democracy.

  • IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Most humans didn’t even had democracy until like the last 100 years or so.

    (Those “democracy” in the early days were like “free men only” so not really a democracy. ahem Greece ahem)

  Screw you. You aren’t blaming this shit on me.

  I think about that in regards to World War II.

  As bad as the destruction of World War II was, it could have been a lot worse if technology had developed an additional decade. Hell, having nuclear weapons first deployed as a weapon of mass destruction helped keep it from being deployed in later wars.

  Maybe the USA was going to go fascist no matter what, so time travelers picked the most incompetent fascist.

  Yep. I keep thinking all the mysterious drones being spotted are time travelers coming back to watch the fall of the American empire.

  • XeroxCool@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I went to my local outburst of drones in the fall. 95% were regular-ass planes spotted by people who don’t understand you have no frame of reference for a dot of light in terms of speed, distance, altitude, or size. Every blinky light was cause for concern.

  Earth is by far the most complex thing in the entire known universe. I don’t know how you expect the events here to be clear or simple.

    Must’ve been a hell of a shower if adding a whole nother layer of weirdness in the form of time-travellers somehow made anything seem more logical!

  Maybe Hitler turned out the way he did because of all the time travelers who kept trying to kill him as a child.
