I'm not sure why I felt the urge to make this after seeing the guy on the right's hard hat... Yet here we are:
I think he's an alien tbh
Every construction worker is an alien when you don't know how hard hats work.
Cleary he is a direct descendant of the extraterrestrial ruling class of human-alien hybrids that ruled over ancient Egypt, rofl.
/s of course
Hidden in plane site smh my head
I can guarantee that the front of the netting isn't in its slots, and is pushed up above his forehead, essentially nullifying 95% of the effectiveness.
Yeah I know, I just thought it was funny
except in the other timeline, the hadron collider opened a black hole and swallowed the earth whole.
they got the better outcome regardless
How do I transfer over to that one. Is there a form to fill out or a portal or something
Sounds lovely

I heard it was a stoat.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
Thomas Paine was right. It goes back to the founding of the country (at least) and the refusal to form a truly egalitarian society, embracing human slavery instead. This made the US Civil War inevitable.

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.

Some say that to this day the weasel is still there being accelerated ever closer to the speed of light.
that lucky bastard.
Shine on, you crazy diamond!
They're waiting for you, Gordon. In the test chamberrrr.
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.

I'm aware of the theory that a stupid cop shooting a gorilla put us in this fucked up timeline.
