People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems? (feddit.uk)

I mean, we're communicating over the Internet right now, which is pretty cool. Right?

On Lemmy. For now. Things will change. But for now it's pretty cool. Um.

Hi. :waves:

Hi! How’s it goin?

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hi!

I'm OK, mostly.

Had some good Chinese takeaway tonight, which was a treat. Ate that while watching my countrymen descend into some kind of froth for dystopic, authoritarian autocracy. That's kind of a bummer.

I abide. Trying to, anyway

For now.

Do you ever worry that somebody could just forcefully grab you, unzip your pants and forcefully stuff hundreds of angry snakes into your pants? Or that you're going to pull back your shower curtain one day, and there's going to be a bear in your shower? Or that one day all the countries will just nuke each other for funsies?

I often worry about things that don't makes sense. Like the one time my ex girlfriend was eating ice cream, and I wondered if one day she might give birth to a moose.

Ha! Joke's on you. I don't have a shower curtain!

Well then you're not protected from the bathroom skunks!

I like you. Never change.
