Donald Trump wants the Navy to rip out an electromagnetic launch system and replace it with a steam one.

Once again, the dimwitted President has gone full Juggalo.

    This mother fucker said magnets stop working in the water and are therefore a stupid thing to put on a boat.

    This can’t be my original timeline. This is the demented rantings of an old man. But he happens to be the fucking president…

    Fuck this.

      The timeline split in 2000.

      Man I wish I was in the other one and Bush wasn’t able to steal the election from Gore.

      They must have it good over there.

      FUUUCK

      Still haunted by hanging chads. Fuck

        Maybe if we do large amounts of LSD, there could still be a way to switch timelines back to the good one…

        It’s a slim hope, but… worth a shot?

          I dunno man…I’ve been truly puddled a number of times since 2000. I started going to Burning Man in 2003 and I can assure you no amount of LSD will allow you slip into a proper timeline. We just fucked.

            Yeah, I was mostly joking. I didn’t even notice your username till just now. Funny.

            But back when I was still “spiritual”, the thing that kept me going back for more salvia-induced terror was a belief that it would help me hop over to a different universe or dimension if I could just figure out how to do it right. I was desperate for a new isekai life. In hindsight it was delusional, but hey you know how they say it took Edison a thousand tries to get the lightbulb right…

              Funny shit my friend, gotta say…fuck salvia. Man that shit is truly dissociative, it made me so uncomfortable. Only did it once and had no desire to ever go back.

              I’ve definitely been to other dimensions and pretty much grateful for always coming back, even with this fucked timeline.

      Sadly every alternate timeline is someone’s default timeline. Sad we just got stuck in the fucked up one.

        Theory: Timelines with human civilization dominated by strongman fascists usually are stuck in Malthusian medieval loops because they’re so poorly run. The timelines with democratic republics, while in the minority, have much longer boom-bust cycles with populations limited only by how long voters choose not to elect strong men. So, your chances of being born into a random body in history mean you are more likely to be born in a democratic one.
