“DEAF TO THE JEWS” the man shouted, holding the boombox aloft in the air, wearing an old Wehrmacht uniform.
Legions of uniformed dancers followed him through the street in formation.
Satisfied, he passed the boombox to an attendant, grasped a microphone, and began to rap.
It wasn’t the best timeline, it was true, but it certainly it wasn’t the worst, either.

It’s like the tension in MMORPG design: if everyone does the same quest it destroys the logic of the game world to some degree (the bad guy is beaten millions of times!) but if quests have to be unique for each player you can’t share the experience.

Time. The answer is Time.
Set the MMORPG in a world where the timelines are divergent and there are thousands or millions of them, and the world itself is broken into thousands of planes/zones/worlds spread across a vast and diverse cosmos in a state of multiversal war.
The players are warrior-chrononauts, members of various factions in this cosmic war across universes and timelines. Many of the same worlds, however, occur again and again, and thus they have a shared experience of intervening in them. There isn’t just one Space Hitler, there are thousands or millions echoing out into the cosmic void.
Video games are almost perfect for this, since single-player games do the multiple timelines branching thing intuitively just by their structure, with saves and replays!
oh sure you can do that for one game, just gets a bit painful when you have to resort to it for all games.
@kissingerandpals: #what is wrong with transhumanists #hasn’t technology ruined our lives enough?
No God in Heaven, no Devil in Hell. The only paradises can be the ones we make for ourselves, and one man’s paradise is another man’s torment.
My paradise, the body I want, doesn’t come standard, so the only thing to do is build the society capable of producing it.
Come to me with real magic and I might reconsider.

people in Melbourne regularly ask me where I am from, which causes a slight degree of difficulty if I answer “Melbourne”.
the real question is “tell me your life story and the saga of your ancestors”, but you know I’m just trying to buy socks in this exchange.
Having forgotten his Discourse Keyboard, the owl struggled to explain that the native range of Tyto Alba includes all of Australia and Tasmania, but the nuance of his argument was interpreted as little more than a confusing series of hoots by his interlocutors. After refusing an offer of a small rodent, he retreated to his apartment in frustration, tiny owl socks unpurchased.
People make this assumption at times in the United States as well, depending on accent, frequency of tourists and international students matching the general appearance in the area, local demographics, etc.
I suspect the deeper version will die off as visible race is turned into fashion near the end of the century.
Who do you think you are to make a reference like this, some kind of guardian?
If one is creative enough, one can reference scenes they’ve never heard of from movies they’ve never seen, books they’ve never read, mangas they’ve never written.
Or maybe I really am from the alternate timeline and I’ve just been ripping off video games and movies that will never exist, Super Love Love Demon Battle included.
The proof, using advanced Time Cycle Theory, is left as an exercise for the reader.

THE PAST MUST BE DESTROYED
You bastard! The original Garmbreak owed me money!
Gargh. This is almost as bad as that time the Democratic Republic of Belgium collapsed and my entire artisanal clickbait smuggling network became worthless overnight.
Well that’s friggin’ 800 SAF pesos down the drain.
Turns out HITLER was the time traveler
Yeah, why do you think they made time travel illegal? Because they have some idea what they’re doing and adequately plan for the future?
Fuck no. It’s because the entire Prime timeline was rendered completely inaccessible by one guy who has since spread to 1,489 other timelines, probably over 1,600 by now.
Every time you travel to the past a new world is created. You can never re-enter your own past and change it. You can only make a new one.
Because of Hitler, our original past was lost to us and is now unknowable. He’s the first time traveler, and the greatest criminal in history.

This is inaccurate, of course. The government required a substantial reduction in metal content because they were too resistant to bullets. Now it’s just the base chassis and the rest relies more on plastic. (Cyborgs are, naturally, exempt from these rules because of the 2nd amendment.)
in my experience enthusiastic male programmers outnumber enthusiastic female programmers by approximately 100 to 1 by the age of 15, but maybe this has shifted slightly over the past few decades.
(numbers not completely pulled out of my butt, based on observation of room containing roughly 300 juvenile coders, three of which were presenting as girls).
perhaps we need earlier interventions, possibly starting in the womb.
The alternative method is infecting more programmers with the cat-girl virus.
Ugggggh
I’m not made of highly unethical experimental preference-modifying subconscious neuromemetic virus precomputed vector model patches.
Do it yourself, geez.
