Oh Hell no, I don't push the button!

It said shifting into the Star Trek universe; it didn't say anything about time travel or ending up on a planet other than Earth.

Also thanks to Discovery's writers, in the further away future there's also a few centuries of dogshit living until they restore the Federation

STD was so bad, kurtzman needs to lay his hands of TREK forever.

World War III ends and Earth is left devastated, mostly because of nuclear warfare. Most of the major cities are left in ruins with few remaining governments and the death total reaching 600 million.

Push the button. Only 600 million is a generous offer. This timeline will have many more.

The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.

In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah ironically it would probably be better to be in the 40k universe if it was current day.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's basically Star Trek for like a millennium or so if I recall. Things didn't always suck so hard in 40k, it took a while for it to become the grimdark hell it is in the 42nd century

There's at least a period where you can be a kick ass cyborg building megastructures without too much body horror at a minimum

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It says transported. That could definitely mean time travel and/or another planet

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Obviously. And it could also mean neither of those

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Well, everyone dies. Both options seem more interesting than a cult of idiots worshipping an orange idiot.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

or if its the terran empire
