I heard it was a stoat.
Valve intro sting
I’m not sure why I felt the urge to make this after seeing the guy on the right’s hard hat… Yet here we are:
I think he’s an alien tbh
Every construction worker is an alien when you don’t know how hard hats work.
I can guarantee that the front of the netting isn’t in its slots, and is pushed up above his forehead, essentially nullifying 95% of the effectiveness.
Yeah I know, I just thought it was funny
Cleary he is a direct descendant of the extraterrestrial ruling class of human-alien hybrids that ruled over ancient Egypt, rofl.
/s of course
Hidden in plane site smh my head
Wasn’t it when a bird dropped a baguette on it?

except in the other timeline, the hadron collider opened a black hole and swallowed the earth whole.
How do I transfer over to that one. Is there a form to fill out or a portal or something
they got the better outcome regardless
Sounds lovely
Correct, but they got sucked into an alternative reality and plan full assault on Judgement Day
Well they should bloody well hurry up then.
You can’t rush the battle of Armageddon. Be patient.
They’re waiting for you, Gordon. In the test chamberrrr.
I like the theory that the Mayans were right and the world ended in 2012.
A redwood can be dead and still stand for years…
2012 was the start of the end, and it wasn’t just an instantaneous catastrophe.
I have to agree with Stephen King and say that the Kennedy assassination was the moment it snapped.
Going heavy in Vietnam started the destruction of the US economy, and Nixon tripled down on it.
The most unpleasant thing about that novel was that fixing things made it infinitely worse.
“The Big Time” by Fritz Leiber. The Change War is being fought on every planet in the universe from the moment of the Big Bang to the end of time. Two sides, the Spiders and the Snakes, are trying to rewrite history for their own purposes. The Law Of Conservation of Reality states that Time will oppose any change, so you have to fight the same battles over and over and over in order to get any changes.
Fun book.
didn’t know king wrote a book about that, so chatgpt gave me this link with the relevant book passage. Whole interview is pretty interesting https://www.jfklibrary.org/events-and-awards/kennedy-library-forums/past-forums/transcripts/a-conversation-with-stephen-king
I used to be a huge Stephen King junkie, read every novel within a few weeks of each release (started young by reading Salem’s Lot way too young). Then he started getting really repetitive in the mid-90s.
So I was reluctant to bother with 11/22/63 but I picked it up because the premise was totally different for King. And I was blown away - I consider it his best, by far.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11/22/63
The name of the book is “11/22/63.” There was also a made for TV adaptation.
No, because all this shit can be traced back directly to Regan, and probably Nixon. Nixon cut the break line and Regan shoved it off the cliff.
Americans really do think they are the center of the universe
McCarthy really fucked it all up for us in 1954 with the lavender and red scares. That helped set the stage for those later cunts.
The murder of Lincoln and not fixing the country after the civil war is probably the root especially for the southern strategy that Nixon would go on to use.
The murder of both Kennedy brothers is the next point, because it opened the door for Nixon who got the economy ready to inflate and fuck over Carter, which got us Reagan and the rest of the “conservatives “ who are actually fascist racists greedy asswipes.
Thomas Paine was right. It goes back to the founding of the country (at least) and the refusal to form a truly egalitarian society, embracing human slavery instead. This made the US Civil War inevitable.
Well I guess absorbing enormous amounts of Nazi scientists, agents and soldiers into it’s service did not help much either.
Weirdly enough that was largely the most negligible effect, most of the ones that were absorbed were revanchists not ideological Nazis. While we can debate the morals of dead men they weren’t the worst of the worst, those were left in Germany or fled to South America and Apartheid Africa. Most of the ones absorbed just really wanted to fuck over the Soviets, which at the time was also the goal of NATO and Yugoslavia.
The ability of Nazis to cosplay as “normal” conservatives never ceases to amaze me. The utter lack of empathy. The pure joy in making “the others” suffer. Nothing seems to alert conservatives. Even when they position themselves as “just revanchists” they are believed. Breathtaking.
Why would Yugoslavia actively want to duck over the soviets
Stalin kept trying to kill Tito, also a bunch of boring economic shit.
i’m more or less aware, but as far as i knew their whole thing was noninterference in other countries’ affairs.
Here’s something not many people consider.
Before Reagan, popular media had tons of intellectual content. Superheroes would hang out with Edgar Allan Poe or Sitting Bull. Cartoons like Mr. Peabody taught kids the names of historical figures and Bugs Bunny played opera.
Then Reagan deregulated kids TV and you got half hour long commercials for GI Joe and The Transformers.
Holy shit, you are right….and I can remember that shift vividly.
I’m getting upvotes, so apparently we aren’t the only ones who figured it out.
I think we made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
Even the trees had been a bad move, no-one should ever have left the oceans.
enveloping our genetic material within lipid bilayer membranes was where it all went wrong imo
Should never have developed genetic material in the first place…

And then Trump stomped on the remains and took a shit on them.
Some say that to this day the weasel is still there being accelerated ever closer to the speed of light.
that lucky bastard.
Shine on, you crazy diamond!
It was a Field Marten, not a weasel. The Pompiers still share around the image of its incredibly crispy corpse that was retrieved from the service tunnels at CMS Point 5.
Timeline thing is whatever, the collisions happening in LHC are less energetic than sunlight on a sq cm of grass, they’re just much better controlled and measured.
I guess the NPR article screenshot comes from the other timeline where it was a weasel then.
It’s part of the weasel family.
Technically no, both Weasles and Martens are part of the Mustelidae family, but they’re different. I remember one of the shifters being super indignant about it lol.
I am with you on your distinction, but if you were to choose a mascot for the Mustelids (something notable to represent the whole family) I’m guessing a weasel would be the candidate.
Free shrugs lol.
Portal 3 plot leaked.
Weasel is a typo. It’s suppose to be Wheatley.
Wheatley was accidentally accelerated past the speed of light and now exists outside of time in a godlike state.
Still can’t make decent puzzle rooms for shit.
and just how many times has this …weasel thing happened?
let me guess. it’s impossible to know.
To quote Douglas Adams about a similar concept in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened"
It could have already happened hundreds of times and we would never know it.
omg Sadam’s aware of the loop. he’s laying that way in protest of reality!

The TenForward memes have escaped containment again.
I’ve seen like 4 iterations of this meme so far and I get excited every time I see a new one, like encountering a new Pokémon
If you look close enough, all the memes are just different forms of Rotom.
I’m aware of the theory that a stupid cop shooting a gorilla put us in this fucked up timeline.
Dicks out everyone, you know the drill…
People suddenly pretending to care for animals is funny as hell
The weasel just wanted to go to a timeline where his family is alive.
It didn’t know it would create the Weaselpoint paradox.
Was it a lab leak, or live market?
Where’s Gordy when you need him?
