We live in a world of plenty where we still produce enough food that nobody need go hungry.
you can look at old 8mm documentaries from the 1960s
You could have been born on Mars when it had water. All that’s left is dust
Linux was invented and the concept of open web and right to your own hardware, although that could change.
Also, vaccines.
I regularly shop at a supermarket built on a site where people were burned as witches in the 17th century.
A ship’s captain was away at sea and died after his ship was wrecked in a storm. Back home, his housemaid was accused of having created the storm and was burned at the stake. And there I am buying lemons and ice cream and toothpaste. It blows my mind.
I don’t think you understood the assignment
Yeah, I guess … two out of ten for effort though? I mean, everything was spelled correctly!
GAY RIGHTS
TRANS RIGHTS
it’s not perfect, but we’re still getting there!
LGBTQIAPN+ I stand with you!
What are P and N?
The two types of semiconductors. N-types have a slight excess of electrons, allowing them to move freely and P-types have a slight lack of electrons, effectively making freely moving electron “holes”. By sandwiching them next to each other, you can create diodes and bi-polar junction transistors.
And as we all know, bi-trans is an important part of queerdom.
Source: has a degree in electrical engineering. And is bi.
Edit: not cool enough to be trans though.
The aliens haven’t yet consumed our planet in this timeline. Consider yourself lucky.

Standard of living has been steadily improving in China since the revolution, and it has managed to develop in an overwhelmingly peaceful fashion. China has achieved astounding feats of engineering with projects like cross country high speed rail, and it’s currently leading the clean energy revolution globally.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury did a duet.
Statically speaking, globally, we are living in the freest, most prosperous age in recorded history. It was the most peaceful as well, but I am unsure if recent events have changed that.
But by and large, we have more rights and are more prosperous than any other era of human history. And drspite the fact we could literally end the whole goddamn world right fucking now, it’s very, very clear that the powers that be really like living, and most conflicts are more focused and less destructive than ever before.
It could very easily be way, way fucking worse. We are nowhere near the worst timeline yet.

Wall-E Buy-N-Large hehe
There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.
So for that alone we are extremely lucky.
It does make me wonder about quantum suicide.
This. People exercised their consciences.
We live in a timeline where open source exists, where computers arent as locked down as they could have been, where encryption is common
Cheese
Oranges all year round. A heated house, lit after dark. Spices.
Cheese is the answer. The worst possible timeline would not have cheese.
Wars have been fought over spices you can now buy in a grocery store for $5, less than an hours work at minimum wage. It’s quite incredible when you think about it.
Kids seem more aware of toxic behaviours and seem to clock their mental health better than I ever did. Even 10 years ago, talking about mental health was considered a taboo.
