      Harambe sires an offspring. Covid was contained, however significant changes in social structures happened so that cross species viruses have a tougher time evolving. Mitch McConnell shat himself on the senate floor, then proclaimed his love for flamin’ hot cheetoes, then passes away. Elon Musk takes a ride on Space X, it suffers a malfunction & he burns up on reentry. Russia and China start a war, but both armies are the equivalent of an Ikea designed tank. All offensive and defensive maneuvers are so bad there are literally thousands of scholars writing doctorate thesis on them. Beer cures cancer. Universal pay is implemented worldwide, Amazon goes bankrupt. Tipping culture in the US ends. Nestlé board of trustees and executive committee are rounded up and hunted for sport by Tankies…capitalists tune in to the reality based tv show and place enough bets to wipe out world debt. Argentina finally has a sound financial footing, a robust economy, and bright future producing most of the worlds green energy needs. World temperatures stabilize and start trending towards normal as most automobiles, private jets, tankers and ocean liners are either converted to green power or scrapped. People have a healthy relationship with social media.

      …fuck

      Back propagating simulations of other possible less utopian courses reality could have taken within which a bunch of people are complaining about how much things suck and wondering what is happening in the prime reality.

            The Prime Universe is a term in science fiction to determine the Main Universe. The universe that the story centers around is the “Prime Universe”, deviations from this are “Alternate Universes”

            I’m claiming that because our world is so absurd in ways that would seem impossible if it wasn’t literally happening in front of us, we are obviously not the Prime Universe, as it makes no realistic since that Jan 6th could have happened without a swift military response, that Donald Trump could be President, that souls aren’t real, that we have so much proof for aliens yet no aliens, or that men like Elon Musk could actually be considered our “Best and brightest”… Making it transparent that we in fact, a bizarre “What-If” scenario

              oh I thought prime universe means alternate universe as the math apostrophe symbol is pronounced prime and often denotes (mathematical) derivative
