people say the date is dependent on the person but 2015 is basically before trump and qanon and such. So I don’t think OP is saying 2015 is the best year just that after 2015 was just craziness.
If we reset to 1960, we could avoid the whole end of the climate apocalypse thing.
I mean we wouldn’t, but we could.
Everything we do still counts. The faster we reduce carbon emissions, the less catastrophic the climate will get for our civilization.
And the emissions are still increasing.
Going back to 1960 would help us prevent Republicans from adopting the southern strategy and basically creating all modern problems
Just don’t elect, Nixon future saved
Maybe make Kissinger have a miss step in some stairs too.
yeah thats the problem. There would be time but it would be the same folks trying to do something and the same folks fighting it and the same either ignoring or being ignorant of it.
My longtime girlfriend left me the first week of 2016. It led to a lot of personal growth that would’ve never happened otherwise but I cannot downplay just how shocking it was for our mutual friend group. Memories of back then seem unrecognizable now.
David Bowie died the second week of 2016 and things kept going downhill from there.
I was entrenched in media in 2015 and it was an unbelievably entertaining year. Of course I like politics so Trump’s presidential run was pretty fucking funny.
My big thing was making fun of brexit with a british friend and trump got elected briefly afterwards. In both cases I don’t think either of us thought it would really happen before it did.
Genuinely its been so shocking. Who would have thought hundreds of millions of people’s discontent could be used to vote for brexit and trump and bring the entire world down a path towards extremism. I thought things were pretty okay in 2015, and all of those people thought the world needed a shocking shake up of the way things are done.
yeah honestly things had been generally improving after the housing crash. It was a nice, slow, steady, improvement that went into mr toads wild ride.
Still waiting
Reptiles are slow to get around to doing things
“We just kinda figured maybe you’d make something neat under pressure, but it appears you made TikTok and 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 Oversight, Observation and Managment representative.
Better plot than most movies these days.
What SCP is this?
2015? I demand a reset to 2000!
I agree. 2001 is when the shit hit the fan.
cries in not being born yet
Think of all the bullshit you won’t have to put up with after a full reset though.
If they did this, I wouldn’t even be mad about there being shadow overlords.
everyones giving their preference. I would take the 70’s just after the mandatory draft was out. Was basically when we had a chance to deal with global warming and you would not believe the dilapadated mansions some poor people lived in. Where they old and worn. yes. were they effin huge with a decent amount of property not far from cities. yes. also families were being supported on one income. oh and pensions were a thing.
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.
We better be getting some bonus credits or something.
You can really see at the chosen year where the person making the meme comes from. Plenty of countries that would have plenty to say about the year.
Oh maaaaan I’ve missed this meme every day I’ve not looked at it. Truly a modern classic of the genre x x
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
It absolutely hurts me that that was 2012
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.
Could we please reset it to about 1991?
Nah thanks 2015 was horrible for me.
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.
01-01-1997, and please make sure everyone remembers what happens till 2023
Just for some real tom fuckery it will be reset to unix time 0, aka 01-01-1970
1970*
Dang it. I always fuck that up.
Please dont. That would make me unborn.
Wait… On second thought. … Yes please.
