We’re still here.

Everybody here things it so funny to talk about how we'll all die ans it's all horrible but really?

Lifw is pretty good. Yeah, we're off worse off today than, say, 30 years ago, but compared to the 4 billion or so years before that? We're doing awesome.

We have direct communicationto anyone in the world in the palm of our hands. Even the poor got better and nicer food today than kings had 300 years ago. Life expectancy even over the past 100 years has gone up dramatically...

This "we're living in the worst times ever!" Is kind of like climate change deniers cherry picking a tiny sliver of a huge graph and say "see? Temperatures.are going down!" It's nonsense. Yeah, things got a bit worse.over the past decade, they'll get better again soon and we're still way better off than, say, 1980

In this timeline, princess Leias bun stayed intact. Wholesome.

US centric, violent crime is down. Not the lowest it’s been currently, but better than it was when I was growing up.

The vast amount of good quality video games out there to play, the amount of good quality animated shows ranging from cartoons to anime to even Chinese Donghua (not you I'm Joybo) like the Legend of Hei movie or All Saints Street, the amount of amazing music being made today by hard working individuals (if you are into what I call the vocalsynth genre (vocaloid, utau, deepvocal, enunu, diffsinger, etcetera)), the ever growing amount of good yiff on E621, and more.

What makes me think this is "worst timeline" is that i fear things will start regressing and we will have to go back to the beforetimes or worse. And in some better world where people are less apathetic it might not go that way.

Well, surely the timeline where those things are already happening is worse?

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

We will all get what we deserve, whatever that is. I hope its not the worst thing but I havent seen any real effort to resist, nothing to rally behind. If starving to death or being murdered for your things in dying planet isnt the worst timeline i dont know what is. Hopefully this wont start happening in my lifetime or that at least i dont have to make it not happen in my lfietime. I dont understand how people can have kids anymore.

Sorry to say such horrible things but it feels like this shit is just pouring out of me now..

I get it. The world needs some hope again, it all feels so bleak right now.

Tell me worst thing, I'll tell you worser.
