Well, was Jenkins worse than Hitler?
My inclination is that Hitler was the least bad way out of that situation. Give Germany another decade and some other nationalist party would come to power, only this time they’ve got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first. Or maybe the leader isn’t a drug-addled former artist who gets his entire staff hooked on uppers and they’re actually effective.
So the reason we always seem to have Hitler is because the time cops keep people from killing him because the other timelines are even worse.
There are no “time cops” because even existing in the past changes things. It’s impossible to change the past and return to “the present” that you know. It would be a completely different timeline even if you just observe.
No, not at all. There is a single coherent timeline. The world as it exists now is the final total of all time travel that will ever be going to have occurred to points before now.
You could try to go back and kill Hitler, but we already know you failed.
They’re talking about a different set of time travel rules. Time travel is fictional so it doesn’t need to be logical.
Then what are the time cops doing about Trump?
Shit… is this evidence that he’s the lesser of two evils? I don’t know if I can handle that thought.
The best thing about his presidency was his total incompetence in getting what he wanted. Imagine what would happen if Steve Bannon or Steven Miller were more than just the puppetmasters…
Steven Miller
I’d call him “Maurice”.
Would explain the failed assassination attempts
only this time they’ve got a decade of research behind them and maybe they get the bomb first
Maybe that’s why we’re living in the universe where this didn’t happen, because in the universe where it did, we wouldn’t exist (many worlds/anthropic principle interpretation)
JENKINS WAS MY PA!!!
The only 2 Jenkinses I know are Leeroy Jenkins, and Jenkins from How I Met Your Mother.
I prefer this version:
I prefer this version: Wikihistory
How would murdering a modern Scottish rock band stop the world wars?
They asked to be taken out, what more do you need to go on?
I recently heard the song is about two snipers trying to shoot each other. (No idea of it is true.)
I wished I could go back in time and kill DevOps, before it became a thing.
Now you have DevOps but everyone just calls it Ops.
At least he had chicken.
I thought this was going to be a dev ops joke at first then it never came
Isn’t Jenkins the robot servant in the masterpiece City by Simak? Great book!
If we killed hitler we would have more competent nazi and possibly still third reich over here but no Poland and I am selfish I wanna exist ya know
Best person would be trump as it is recent enough to not suddenly cease to exist due to various butterfly effects, still pretty risky though. All of people that died by accidents between trump election and today would be from different, new set. You can calculate probability even based on average yearly accidents.
God I shudder to think what if u killed Julius Caesar. We would be like unrecognisable due to all branching out possibilities over the years. Real quantum parallel worlds shit
Might be able to avoid The Nazis and The Bolsheviks gaining power altogether by going to 1970, buying a year’s worth of McDonald’s food, and delivering it to Taft in 1911. He’s so damn fat he got stuck in the tub in The White House. He’ll happily eat that shit and hopefully die before the 1912 election, allowing Teddy to have his third and fourth term. In a head to head race between Roosevelt and Wilson, Wilson doesn’t have a prayer of winning.
what if u killed Julius Caesar
Wonder what the month of July would be called?
All months will be named after Pompey.
September
Then what would September be?
November
Let’s make it easier, what are all the months in the new timeline where Julius Caesar was killed before becoming famous called?
Well now we’re getting really speculative. But probably what we have now but with something like undember or under and duoly or duoer in the 11 and 12 month positions.
Well if Brutus took over, Brutey?
And August.
The good news is that if someone went back and changed the past, then events would transpire such that they never had to go back in time for that reason, and so they wouldn’t., i.e. nothing would change. Not unless the whole exercise spins only the time traveler off into their own new universe in which they’re the only one with a memory of this alternative timeline from which they came.
This is a shittier version of this skit
fuck that’s good. here’s a tangentially related one with surprisingly high production quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VQ2iVZMQ1U
I’ve also come to share a tangentially related video:
brilliant!
I can’t verify that because that skit has a much larger file size and I ain’t streaming that. I have other things to download.
First the tiktok witches erase one of our moons, now some asshole took away Jenkins before his prime. What’s next?
The hardest choices require the strongest wills. They do not remember you, nor what you’ve sacrificed… but I will honor you, slayer of Jenkins, hero to humanity o7
I’m sorry. Who’s Jenkins?
You’'ll never know and you should be thankfukl for it.
Leeroy Jenkins for me https://youtu.be/mLyOj_QD4a4
At least he has a chicken
I was gonna say. Jenkins needs zero help. Just let him do his (final) thing.
I don’t know either, but for some reason his name sends a shiver down my spine.
Its this man He lives in this thing called “The Cloud”
So in the OP’s original timeline there is a flexible CI pipeline tool named Adolph. Huh…
You can even see the stylized product icon with the simple facial features with the little square mustache. People in that timeline unironically refer to that CI tool as “The Final Solution” in CI.
The man is a monster. I don’t know how many of my build jobs have been murdered by this fiend.
And how many devops have been driven to madness trying to configure what should be a simple task.
They should kill his father Hudson instead. That guy was a dick.
Oh yeah. Fuck that guy.
Mmmh leeeroooooy jeeeeenkins
First they came for the Jenkins. And I did not speak out. Because I was not a Jenkins…
