Harambe is just the start. It’s the tip of the iceberg. See, we’re living in a false reality timeline. And it goes back WAAAAAY farther than 2016.
Back to the future, set in 1985, first film came out in 1985. Sets up BTTF 2. Still set in 1985. Written I think in 1983. Shot in 1987. That’s important. Because inntially they wanted to write/shoot/release all 3 movies as 1 movie. So when they wrote BTTF 2, the writing can only attributed to 1983. Do you know what was in the news in 1983? Donald Trump wanted to buy the struggling Cleveland Indians and relocate them to Miami. At the time Miami had no MLB team. That’s important.
In BTTF 2, Set in 1985 and 2015, we see the Miami baseball team lose the World Series to the Chicago Cubs. Again, set in 2015. So that Miami team had no name, because in real life they didn’t exist, but news outlets expected Cleveland to move to Miami long before the movie would be released. And Biff in 2015 is CLEARLY based on 1980s trump. It’s not really trying to hide who Biff really is. Real life, the deal is never signed. Trump never buys the Indians. So the Miami team is a representation of the Cleveland Indians losing the world series to the Chicago Cubs. Filmed in 1987. Gotta remind you of that. Then in real life, 2016 go look at the world series results. One year off. One year. Literal same exact result.
Then there’s the Barenstein bears spelling. I’m at a point where I don’t even know what the right spelling is and which one is the false memory. I spell it Barenstein Bears, but everyone knows what I’m referencing.
Terminator had a woman named Sarah Conner give birth to John Conner. An unborn child who would go on to lead a machine army that destroys the human race. The timeline that John Conner sets off to destroy humans is 2029. Right now in real life Boston Dynamics is in talks with ICE to deliver robot attack dogs. Not that police dogs were ever sympathetic and refused to attack whomever the cops told them to attack, but now cops don’t have to hold any responsibility whatsoever because if a robot attack dog kills someone, ICE can point to AI, and the AI companies can say “You can’t blame us for what they do with our tech”. So nobody is responsible. It’s 2026. That kinda sounds like start of a robot army. And remember the dates and exact details are almost a mirror image of all these plots into real life, but not exact. The Cubs beat the Indians in 2016, not 2015. Nobody knows when the Barenstein Bears switch happened.
Idiocracy is a film in which fascism through stupidity descends upon the country. Again, minor details not lining up, but overall you can look at the film and say "Is this a documentary about a time period that Mike Judge couldn’t have known was on the horizon?
There are more examples throughout history, but you get the idea. Everyone says Harambe was the shift. Everyone thinks that something happened when Harambe died. But think about the story from a realistic standpoint. If Harame happened today, would it even make news? A human child enters a gorilla enclosure. A gorilla gets shot. I’m not defending the killing, but I am saying it’s not the massive story it was made out to be. I’m sure throughout the decades it’s happened before and you never heard of it, because it’s not news. Nothing actually happened. Yet everyone is convinced that it’s a pivotal event in history.
What I’m suggesting is that all of this, has been us on the bad timeline. Somewhere in history someone fucked us all. Someone played with a time travel device. Created a rift which created this false timeline. Then they saw how fucked up shit was, and they left. They went back to the real timeline.
All of this? It’s not the real timeline. We’re an offshoot. We don’t matter. We’re real people, but this isn’t the real timeline. Somewhere out there Bernie Sanders won the 2020 election, trump is in jail, And AOC wins the 2028 election. While Mamdani respects the constitution, so unfortunately he’s not going to become president even in the real timeline, but he’s ok with that. Because if someone in that kind of power could disrespect the constitution, then what other power abuses would they be ok with? Can you imagine having a president who doesn’t think about the American public at all? Can you imagine someone who cares so little that they show up to a presidential debate, with an election looming in 30ish days, and admits they don’t have a plan? They only have concepts of a plan? They would be openly admitting that they intend to completely improvise running the country, with a handful of half thought out ideas. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine the country STILL voting him in? That seems like it would be the dumbest timeline.
And that’s where we are. None of this matters. None of this is real. But for us, we’re stuck here. SOMEONE has been planting hints everywhere throughout history. Here’s one that I’ve never seen anyone talk about. Elon Musk has been for decades funding SpaceX. His grand plan is to leave earth and live elsewhere.
HOW???
How the fuck are you going to leave Earth, and live anywhere else? Yes there are other Earth like planets that support life that we’re found, but they’re thousands of light years away.
Now for anyone who doesn’t know, a light year is not a measurement of time. It is a measurement of distance. A light year is the distance you would travel going the speed of light for 1 year. In order to reach these other Earths, you need to travel the speed of light for thousands of years. So we know when Musk leaves earth, he’s not going to those planets. So where’s he going? Is it possible that he knows how to leave this timeline, and return to the main timeline, but lacks the technology to do so? So he just funds SpaceX so that he can leave?
Here’s another fun thing to think about. Throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, home tech really exploded. Microwave ovens. Electric refrigerators. Rockets. Lasers. Radio broadcast bandwidth that would allow the VHF frequencies for television. Air bags in cars. TV dinners. All this news stuff that completely changes the way Americans live their life. It’s all tech that was developed during WWII with the innitial idea of being used during the war. Most of it developed by nazis. Elon Musk is a self identifying nazi who even did the hitler salute twice during trumps inauguration in 2025. Once to the front camera, then he turned around and did it again. Removing all doubt that it was a mistake. He wanted the camera to see it, and then he did it again so the people behind him could see too. Is it possible that some technologies from the war never made it to use in our daily lives?
Kind of really seems weird that WWII starts out with hitler being some kind of political machine, and military powerhouse threatening to take over the entire world. Yet ending 6 years later with hitler being a meth head that is getting invaded from both sides. A reality he saw as a threat, so specifically made a non-aggression pact with Stalin. Only to then attack Stalin. Think about that. "I know russia would crush us if the west were attacking from the west, while russia attacks from the east. That would end in my defeat. I should get Stalin on my side, so I can divide France, England, and America if needed…right after I attack russia real quick.
That does not feel like a natural sequence of believable events, yet that’s our history. I think whomever has access to the time travel timeline jumping came in, dumped a bunch of tech from the far future in nazi hands. The nazis won, and then after hundreds of years of oppression traveled back in time to give the allies the win so the nazis fall.
And since their timeline isn’t a dumpster fire now, they have no reason to come back and check on us. How are we doing after they affected our lives? Bad. Though I will admit I am glad they killed the nazis.
But this means we gotta live through fascism again, this time from the USA instead of Germany. Once the USA goes full world domination and starts invading countries, maybe in a few hundred years someone will come back and coarse correct again. Because right now, it feels like we’re on our fourth or maybe fifth timeline. Musk threatens to change things if he can find his way out. No telling what changes that’s going to bring, but I can tell you he’s not going to give a fuck either way. If him leaving means the rest of the world is covered in life ending lava, he’ll still do it and not give two fucks.
So yeah. Basically we’re the runoff unwanted timeline, and we keep getting fucked over by fascists, and have to live through this bullshit for centuries, until the good timeline gets mildly inconvenienced by fascism for a short time. Then they’ll come back, some details will mildly change. Maybe people misremember lines from movies. “Luke I am your father”. Nope, never happened. Or maybe it did. In the original timeline. Maybe our memories won’t let everything go, but we don’t remember a lot of how things should be. Pretty soon all plantlife will refuse to grow because we’re planting it in soil, and using Gatoraid to grow it, because of money. Water is just the stuff in our toilets. You want to grow food from toilet water??? Thats CRAZY talk!!! Everyone knows you use Gatoraid with electrolites, and pesticides to kill off the bad bacteria. It makes you violently shit, but you’re alive!
None of this matters. We live in the dumbest timeline.

100 guesses and I would not have guessed Will Farrell. I did not recognize him at all. Even now that you point it out, it’s borderline. Granted I didn’t see the video with audio. I saw the video while I was in a public space, and since I’m not an asshole, and since I had no headphones, I just watched it on mute. Still only BARELY see that as Will Farrel.
Like someone else could come along, and troll me, and tell me you’re trolling me, and that it’s NOT Will Farrell, and I’d probably think they were telling the truth. That’s like Tim Curry levels of acting disguise.

Not sure why people are downvoting you. I didn’t find your post to be snooty, or degrading. I just see someone who’s trying to help another human be a better human. I’ve always been a terrible speller. You can always tell when I type something out on my phone rather than my PC with mechanical keyboard. In this case I’ve just had the wrong spelling in my head, but if this were on PC it would have given me the red squiggle line, just as it’s doing right now with the word “downvoting”.
“Vacuum” is correct, and I’m not arguing that, but even just looking at it, my brain says “No, that’s wrong…it looks wrong…”
My brain does that all the time with words. In this case, I still think it looks wrong, but there are times I’ll spell a word correctly, think it looks wrong. Try again with a different spelling, and that looks wrong too because it is. Then try every version I can think of. Eventually I give up, and use google to spell check, and turns out it was right the first time, but still looks wrong. That’s not what happened here, but it happens daily. I’m 42, and spelling is something I’ve always struggled with.
Another way I misspell words is my cell phone will hit S instead of A, or W instead of S, or COMPLETELY ignore the fact I hit the space bar, which will join together two unrelated words.
So yeah, I do appreciate the correction, because it helps me make yet another mental note of what I’m actually wrong about. Words I initially misspelled in this post:
Downvoting (though this one is actually spelled right, it’s just not a real word).
Misspelled (irony!)
Appreciate
So, thank you. I felt like I needed to post this reply so people stop eating you alive in the downvotes. Calm down everybody! We’re all good here!

My main instinct is to groan when I hear that slang. Then I remember back in the 90s we had “All that and a bag of chips”.
So obviously my generation holds no higher ground when it comes to slang.
The 80s are the last time slang was done right. Lets bring back “radical” and “rightous” and “right on”.
Wait, is the secret to good slang starting with the letter R?

- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 1 day ago:
See, this is why they get away with it.
In the 1950s, before I was born, my dad was a child of about 8 years old.
My grandfather was a traveling vacume salesman. He’d travel the country, and sell vacumes door to door. There’s 365 days in a year, and he was generally home for about 14 of those days. Never together. Just an average of about 1 day a month he was home. Sometimes 2 days, but not back to back.
My grandmother wanted to spend some time with her husband, whom she loved deeply. So she requested he take a vacation with her, and their 4 children. So he put in the time off request, and was granted a 3 week break in the upcoming summer.
Now my family, both grandparents, and all 4 of their children are all white. But our last name is a name that you would assume is a black persons name. I still think it seems like a name that can be any race, but I’ve been consistantly told by black people, that I shouldn’t have my name, because I’m white. So I guess the common consensus is that my name is a black name.
Back in the 1950s, the way travel worked was very different. Today, you log onto a travel website, you book your own hotel, you compare deals, ect. Back then, none of that. Instead you could use a real estate agent which cost more, or you could do what my grandfather did. He went to the library, requested information on books about Myrtle Beach resorts. Then from there he called the hotel directly. When he talked to a hotel in Myrtle Beach City, they told him they would sent him an information packet in the mail. He would need to select the dates, the number of rooms, and number of guests. Which would be 6. Then the information packet would tell him how much his stay would cost, and he would use the postage included envelope to mail back his check, and a letter written to the hotel manager requesting stay. He mailed it off. A week or two later he gets what he thinks is his acceptance letter in the mail confirming the reservation. Instead he gets his check back, with the word “VOID” stamped on it. And a letter from the hotel manager.
“Dear Mr (our last name), I regret to inform you that we do not accept (n-word)'s at our fine establishment. We are a strictly whites only establishment.”
My grandma says she never seen fury in his eyes like that. This normally quiet, calm, individual who just wanted peace and quiet got a burning red rage in his eyes, and screams at the top of his lungs.
"KIDS, GET YOUR ASSES DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!!! (Grandmas name), GO GET MY FUCKING CAMERA!!!
Couple things. First, my grandfather never raised his voice. He never demanded anything. He never cursed. And he NEVER NEVER NEVER ordered my grandma to do anything. If anything he felt it his responsibility to ask what she needs.
My grandma, nor my dad, nor my aunts knew what just happened. They just knew he was pissed, it came out of nowhere, and they were now scared. They didn’t get a chance to see the letter before he snapped. So you can bet my grandmother just ran to get the camera, and the kids came barreling down the stairs thinking they were in trouble.
ALRIGHT! EVERYBODY ON THE FRONT LAWN!!! WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A NICE HAPPY FAMILY PHOTO FOR THESE BASTARDS!!! I DIDN’T STORM NORMANDY FOR THIS SHIT!!!
I’ve seen the photo. The best way to describe it was an angry man, and 5 other terrified indivuduals all fake smiling. In the background was the house they lived in back then. Big beautiful house. Not a mansion, but big enough that some poor people might think it’s a mansion. 5 bedroom with 2 living rooms.
They take the photo and without saying a word my grandfather stormed inside to find this old timey quill and ink. He hand writes a reply. In cursive. Using a quill and ink which is VERY apperent that it’s not standard cheap ink pens.
Dear Mr (hotel managers name). No, I regret to inform YOU that we will not be entertaining the idea of ever staying at your resort. I will happily share a hotel with any man or woman of any race before I ever settle for enriching a racist. Our family will still be visiting Myrtle Beach for the dates previously requested, but at this time we will be seeking other arrangements for lodging. Enclosed you will find our family photo. Sincerely, (grandpas name)."
And a week later, he sent them that hand written letter, and the photo. They went on that vacation at a different hotel.
That hotel was torn down in the 1970s. My grandpa said his three greatest accomplishments in life were 1) Marrying my grandma 2) Sending that letter 3) Living through Normandy. In that order.
My point is, you can always seek alternatives. By still buying the product anyways, you’re actually doing harm by writing the letter now. At this point it only serves to prove to them that it’s worth it. They can trick the majority, but also even the people who aren’t fooled may not take the $2 worth of scam…but they’ll still buy the product. This just proves there is no downside for them.
Will you alone make a difference by not buying the thing? No. But you also have no principal in the situation. You’re mad, but still giving them money, so why would they stop? Maybe if more people in this world still held to their principals, collectively we start telling the world that they don’t run the show. They can stop scamming, or go out of business.
But by still buying the product, you give all that away.

Name something assosiated with trump that wasn’t a total scam. Even ifhe wasn’t directly involved. Anything assosiated with his image or likeness. Name anything at all that was properly handled.
Now you want to take that concept, and apply it to drugs, which when mishandled, can kill you.
I’ll wait for your example.
- Comment on Biggest, most beautiful pill. 2 days ago:
Everything assosiated with trump falls to shit. It’s all inferior quality. Most of the trump shit they sell has nothing to do with trump. I was at a county fair in 2021 and there was a guy selling trump merchandise on one side and Biden merchandise on the other.
You think trump or biden got paid for that? Or did he just silkscreen a bunch of t-shirts and flags?
Trump himself doesn’t have to be assosiated with something to be a scam. When scammers know they can rip you off because you’re easily scammed, and you’re silently telling them that you’re the type to be easily scammed, thats the only inevitable outcome when you buy anything trump related. Now you’re mixing it with drugs that when something is wrong can kill you.
How can I expect any other result?

- Comment on Biggest, most beautiful pill. 2 days ago:
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but, fuck em! Now I don’t use drugs, and never have used this drug, but I feel like if you see an image of trump, and your reaction is “I want that inside of me”, then you kind of deserve disasterous results.
It’s kind of like finding a yellow and black colored snake, and thinking you should pick it up. Sometimes idiots die doing idiot things. I have empathy for 99% of people in most situations. The 1% are when the warning signs are there, and they ignore them.
