I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.

We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.

The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.

Someone needs to stop using the What If machine!

We'd use the universal translator instead, but it just spouts crazy gibberish.

"I'm gonna ask it the dumbest thing I can think of: What if Donald Trump became president?"

"Oh yeah? I'm gonna ask it what if Donald Trump lost re-election, then got re-elected?"

machine explodes

So that's what things would be if what's happening was just a result of a what if machine...

A man can dream, though. A man can dream.

*goldbug

"Yes, and".

All the way at the bottom are the Bitcoin white paper and a site to their merch store where you can get a shirt with Nixon or Regan or whatever doing a pose with the Bitcoin logo.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was added later then. This was a goldbug site from the start. It’s also wrong about most of the reasoning unsurprisingly

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Makes sense, there's a lot of "bluh, fiat" overlap.

Almost the plot to Cloverfield paradox

You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it's more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now

No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you're still not infallible... None of us are.
