    While they’re at it, they need to nerf the Sociopath trait. The handful of greedy murderhobos are breaking the climate and the economy for everyone.

          Cries in being so old your realise people who were born after 9/11 are grown ass adults now.

            Don’t even have to be that old to experience that. There’s this weird phenomenon where if you’re born at the tail end of the 90s, anyone born 2000 onward feels infinitely younger, even if the actual age difference is only a few years.
            I was born 1998 and I still look at anybody born in 2000 like “you’ve gotta be 12 years old max.”

              Same thing here. Seeing people who were born in like 2006 as adults always trips me up for a second.

          Think of all the bullshit you won’t have to put up with after a full reset though.

      Imagine a world where the Supreme Court allowed Florida to keep counting ballots and we found out Al Gore actually won the election.

        I think that’s what happened on Earth Prime and we’re in one of those alternate-reality “What if?” comic book Earths. What if the villain known only as Hanging Chad hadn’t been stopped?

        (Al-Gor does sound like a Kryptonian name…)

    “We just kinda figured maybe you’d make something neat under pressure, but it appears you made TikTok and a global pandemic instead.” The spokesman went on to suggest that maybe they should go back an extra year, just for good measure. “We want to give everyone a chance to reconsider their actions. Although I was personally in favor of an extra year, the council has decided that 2015 is an acceptable starting point.” The spokesman then left the podium to the Chronometric Operations, Observation and Managment representative.

    I think 2012 would be best for the UK.

    It’s all been aggressively down hill since the olympics.

      I like the theory that the Mayans were absolutely correct: the world does end on 21 December 2012.

      But “the world ending” doesn’t just happen all at once like flipping the switch of existence.

      No, it ends by falling apart, disintegrating, devolving into chaos. Slowly at first, but compounding in speed and severity. Still, fast by “end of the world” standards may very well be “almost imperceptibly slow at first” to the human frame of reference.

      In short: the world started to end right when the Mayans said it would. We’re just starting to realize it now.

        I’m right there with you. The last decade can be easily described as “things falling apart”

        I believe I’m going to live far longer than anyone born before 2012, or I’m going to die after society collapses

      I was going to suggest 1979 but the problem with the UK is it’s hard to find a date when it wasn’t already shite.

    If our mental state is reset as well, we would end up in a loop since we would continue reaching the same point we reset at.

      The comic is saying that the overlords purposely threw in some very wacky conditions in 2015 just to see how we’d respond, so the idea we’re saying is that we’d like to go back to X year and go forward but without the wacky settings in the simulator.

    Interesting times to see “The Illuminati” make a comeback.

    Icke maintains that he is not an anti-Semite, and that he is criticizing not real Jews, but 12-foot-tall alien lizard people, many of whom just happen to be posing as Jews.
