The only history I want is a revolution that makes things better. Is that too much to ask. π₯Ίππ

We somehow entered the idiocracy and red dawn timeline
The future: Welcome to the pedofascist climate armageddon
I would have settled for this
Oooh, best we could do is this:
I forgot it was called the Pleasure Palace. Jesus Christ it was the future they filmed.
They knew. Not all the details, but this much was clear.
How big of a hit was BttF in Russia?
That's where we are. Guess who future Biff is.
My guess is the guy he was modeled off of in the first place.
War is always awful, but you've got to look for the things you get to do today that future people will be jealous of. How many people rode great sailing ships and were just annoyed they weren't faster?
I guess I got to wank to me imagination before the instant gratification of free online porn.
I wonder if people will yearn for that with nostalgia.
It looks like the age of the porn site is waning right now, for sure.
And nobody seems to care about the climate catastrophe any more. It's gonna be so fucking bad in a decade or two. We are zooming past all the tipping points at record speed RIGHT NOW.
Itβs literally already so bad but no one connects the dots
I wanted to live through the fun, far-future space exploration part of Star Trek, not the near-future WW3 part of Star Trek. :(
History will remember MAGA and the people involved. When you look at pictures of your family members dawning red hats from the past, it'll be like related to Nazis.
honey are you okay? you haven't even touched your eschatological holy war
We had space travel. Well, sort of. Kinda.
Yes, but what about second space travel?
two asteroids abruptly appear
Instead we got the fall of the world into Autocracy at the combined efforts of billionaires, white supremacists, and fuckin Tankies.
You get economic depression and oil wars under the banner of a child fucker.
Yup this is some bullshit. I'm 50 now. They better figure out robot butlers and flying cars and Mars vacations really fucking soon or I'mma be super pissed.
I remember from elementary school days... it really was supposed to be space travel. Damn.
Turns out space is big. Like really big.
And honestly more importantly, not much on the other side is worth the trip. There is no spice route to space.
You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
I want to be a forgotten part of history. Like the people that made Stonehenge. Fuck all else to do than look at the stars and vibe code with rocks.
Fuck it, we ball! We are all dead already, what is there to lose? Let's at least make the history books amazing!
The Bell Riots are running just a little behind schedule.
That makes ww3 full exchange like 2031?
