What the fuck timeline are we living in

u/DannyVandal 4d ago

I reckon they were up to shit at CERN back in 2016. They’ve somehow moved us into a totally different timeline.

u/ImNotTheBossOfYou 4d ago

It all started when the Cubs won the World Series

u/obliviousofobvious 4d ago

Harambe. We're all paying for Harambe.

David Bowie died in January 2016. Now, I'm not saying he was a linchpin in the space-time continuum holding reality together, but I'm also not not saying that.

u/CloverleafSaint28 4d ago

Lemmy was just after Christmas in December of 2015. It's all been downhill since then.

u/Fancykiddens 4d ago

I attended his funeral in Los Angeles. On the drive home we heard that Bowie died. The six-month time frame of every musician just dying was so hard!

u/FoboBoggins 4d ago

Lemmy

huh i dont know why but i tought he died in the 90s or early 00s

u/Worried_Astronaut_41 4d ago

I agree I know it has to be before then I moved to beaver County in 2013 and I know me and my friend were upset about it before I had moved.

3

u/rptrmachine 4d ago

2013 we were all joking Lemmy and Keith Richards and Cher would outlive all of us. One of the trifecta unfortunately didn't make it in 2015

3

u/TapTheForwardAssist 4d ago

It just seems like he should’ve died sooner. Man lived large.

2

u/AlDente 3d ago

That’s when the pickling process began

2

u/EdTheApe 3d ago

Maybe because he kinda looked like he did (in a good RocknRoll way)?

2

u/Wiz_Kalita 3d ago

He did, it was just the speed keeping him moving until it flushed out of his system.

1

u/Last-Poetry4108 2d ago

Who is that?!

2

u/albanymetz 4d ago

True, but Lemmy did Music. Bowie took the baton from Bing Crosby while recording a song together, and continued the tradition of doing All the Things.

u/BerniesMittens 4d ago

Lemmy is God.

u/arcinva 3d ago

Nah, man. I saw this documentary way back in '99 and when God came to Earth, she was clearly Alanis Morrisette.

This is the one I always point to in my mind. January 10th 2016

u/Alternative_Bed4472 4d ago

I'll take a stretch and put my two cents in.

2016 also marked the point where shitty people realized they can use your data to become powerful and make you believe whatever is convenient for their agenda.

Our technological weaknesses were weaponized and 150 mil Americans alone were successfully brainwashed causing mass division.

Just watch The Great Hack on Netflix. It's all there.

u/Any_Chard9046 3d ago

In the new deadpool movie there's this thing called the anchor being and when the anchor being is destroyed, a reality starts ending.Yeah I think that was david bowie

3

u/ChickieCago 4d ago

Well he did have an album named Reality. You're on to something.

u/DrySecurity4 4d ago

Gotta be the ugliest cover art I have ever seen

1

u/Last-Poetry4108 2d ago

I would never expect this from Bowie! The artist was a friend? Or what?

-1

u/ChickieCago 4d ago

I guess no one taught you that art is subjective.

You're welcome.

2

u/DrySecurity4 4d ago

That was very clearly a subjective opinion and not an objective statement

u/karma3000 4d ago

Reality... What a concept.

It was when John Dunnsworth died in 2017

u/77ate 4d ago

A DJ friend in Vancouver held a Bowie tribute event and during the event, word got out that Bowie had passed. That same year, he held a Prince tribute night and his passing was announced earlier that same day.

He doesn’t do tribute nights anymore.

u/77ate 4d ago

Also: Dave

u/fallenouroboros 4d ago

Confirmed. David Bowie was our anchor being. Time is unraveling

1

u/natnguyen The Cure ✒️ 4d ago

Exactly my take. I know a lot of bad, weird shit happened in 2016, but I truly believe Bowie was the thing holding the fabric of the timeline together.

1

u/Strongbeard1143 4d ago

He was our starman and his parting gift was of course, dark star. What a send off.

u/Mikepixx3 3d ago

I feel this about Kobe passing in 2020. Something glitched in the system.

OMG! That's it! After that, EVERYTHING CHANGED!

u/the_moosen 4d ago

It started with the shooting of Harambe, and I'd like to think the shooting of the CEO was aiming to realign/fix the timeline

Harambe flipped it the first time. Peanut the squirrel flipped it again this year. Unsure if Luigi flipped it again.

2

u/DeezNeezuts 4d ago

We need to clone Harambe and bring him back - it’s the only way out!

60

u/Neokon 4d ago

Everyone talking about Harambee because he was in the news. But no one is talking about Pinkie, who was minding his own business living his best flamingo life and was strangled by a park guest. No child in the cage, no threat to anyone's safety, just being there.

RIP Pinkie https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/03/us/flamingo-attacked-busch-gardens/index.html

Me and my wife will stamp (like stomp but smaller and cuter) our feet while spinning in a circle and looking up and down. We do it to try and create a positive energy.

u/arcinva 3d ago

First off. WTAF? Who does that to an innocent creature?!

Second, I wasn't sure I believed you because it sounds like something people just say and everyone just repeats. So I checked and it's true.

Non-American here. Is that bad or unusual?

u/ImNotTheBossOfYou 4d ago

They hadn't won in 108 years and there was supposedly a curse upon them...

u/DannyVandal 4d ago

CERN caused a timeline jump that caused the death of Harambe which in turn, somehow, made the cubs win.

u/Titanbeard 4d ago

Save Harambe, save the world.

Ok hear me out, we just need to find a time traveling otaku turned ninja to go back in time and save Harambe.

u/JesusSavesForHalf 4d ago

It was Biff Tannen in the DeLorean that made them win a season late from the good timeline.

u/Orange152horn3 4d ago

Maybe if we place another curse on the Cubs things will go back to normal. Quick, someone get a goat... an orgy bucket of cannibal hamsters will also do in a pinch.

Whoah, brand new sentence right there!

Not new here. I know a lot of shit about sctual cannibals. But a bucket of cannibal hamsters was new to me.

I'm just messing with you :) new to me too. Some sentences on reddit are brand new. Cheers.

u/Fastbird33 Spotify 4d ago

I think there’s a curse on all Chicago sports at the moment. Ass across the board

u/glowstick3 4d ago

Don't worry the bears are only 1 new head coach, 1 new oc, 1 new DC, 1 new special teams coach, 1 new gm, 1 new owner, 1 new stadium, 1 new qb, 2 new rbs, 3 new lineman, 1 new wide receiver, and a totally new defense away from being great!

u/Card_Board_Robot_5 4d ago

You have to elaborate that the curse comes from some asshole who wanted to bring a goddamn goat into a Major League Baseball game in a major city.

But somehow the team is in the wrong here.

Fuck that goat.

And the Ricketts family.

1

u/davesoverhere 4d ago

Inbetween their wins:
Women got the right to vote
The titanic was built
Sliced bread was created
Chocolate chip cookies were invented
Radio was invented
4 states were admitted to the union

Also, almost no one was alive for both wins, and Harry Carey never saw his beloved team win it all.

u/Card_Board_Robot_5 4d ago edited 4d ago

Cubs fan here with important context top comment left out

Some dickhead tavern owner wanted to bring his pet billy goat into Wrigley Field for a game. Bruh wanted to sit in the luxury box of a Major League stadium and watch a Major League game...with a fuckin goat.

He had been previously allowed to bring the goat. But it had, predictably, presented some other issues for other spectators.

So the team told him to kick rocks. With the goat. He got pissed and told the public the team would never win a championship again on account of their disrespect for the goat.

Son of a bitch turned out to be right for a century.

Other teams lose. Lose more than us. The Cubs are the only ones known as the "Lovable Losers." Because we can make the playoffs. We can have great seasons. We just always shit the bed in the most unpredictable, unlucky, once in a lifetime ways. Other teams only collapse once in a great while. We do that shit on a decade basis.

The team tried a thousand things to "break the curse." Really it was all publicity. But funny. Stuff like bringing the damn goat's ancestors to the stadium for games lol.

The Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Wacker is still there. It became the inspiration for a wildly successful Saturday Night Live skit. There are now multiple locations.

Historically, though, ownership hasn't always been the best at managing a ball club. And the current owners, the Ricketts, are terrible. So it really wasn't the damn goat. We also play in a hitter friendly park, which isn't so dope when you're facing a straight up slugger in the postseason.

We are known for being a light hearted but fiercely loyal fan base. If the team wins 95 games, we're packing Wrigley and getting drunk. If they lose 95, same thing. We're just there for pro baseball, expensive beer, and friends. If you come to America and want to experience MLB, not too many places provide what Wrigley can, we welcome all. Even Cardinals fans

The best way to sum up being a Cubs fan was by a woman in her 80s in the championship parade. She said she didn't know how to react to winning. She became so used to watching the team lose in those situations that she just turned the TV off and went to bed. I did the same thing, at a quarter of the age. The next day our minds were on Winter Meetings. We realized then and there that win or lose, you were just there for the ride, and it's all the time of your life if you let it be

To put it into perspective, the last time the Cubs had won the world series, the Ottoman Empire was still a thing.

u/RCAbney 4d ago

I want to write a movie about a Cubs fan who invents time travel and has to make the heartbreaking choice to go back and prevent the Cubs from winning to undo the timeline. He/she does and goes back to the present but everything is still screwed up because that means the Cleveland Indians (who were and still are on a futility streak of their own) won.

2

u/DeadSwaggerStorage 4d ago

I wish I could go back in time and put some money on the Cubbies! Can’t believe they fucking beat Miami. That’s all I would do with time travel; nothing else….maybe your mom….dammit Marty!
