    I think that the multiverse exist and we’re the 1% of timelines that the cold war didnt go hot.

    Imagine Stannislav Petrov tripping on a banana peel and ending up in the hospital instead of going to work and monitoring for nukes, or if Vasily Arkhipov suddenly develops caustrophobia right before that submarine mission to Cuba.
