Honestly, Rome’s unification caused more harm than good. Imperialism screwed over countless people, and a lot of the “problems” people blame on early Christianity are really just Roman cultural baggage.

Haha 😆, fair. Not here to just nod along like some prompt copying bot opinions are real, and so is the vibe.

Yeah, some arrogance really knows no limits.

Yeah, just a matter of time before we’d surface again

Truly the timeline where humanity proves it can solve even its greatest conflicts peacefully even with emus.

That loss is mind-blowing to think about. If those ideas had survived and been built on, math and science could’ve jumped ahead centuries calculus arriving that early would’ve completely reshaped how we understand the universe.

Yeah, the infamous “I didn’t inhale” era hard to imagine that even being controversial today.

Same here the Bronze Age collapse feels like one of those massive reset points. It’s wild to imagine how far civilization might’ve advanced if that momentum hadn’t been lost.

Yeah, even without a playbook it’s wild how much influence he’s had. Sounds rough in the Virgin Islands too crazy how his actions ripple everywhere, even in territories most people barely think about.

Yeah, a different outcome at Tours could’ve seriously changed the course of Western Europe maybe limiting the Crusades and slowing down New World colonization. Fascinating to think about how one battle can ripple through history.

Definitely an interesting “what if.” Hitler never coming to power would have completely reshaped the 20th century no WWII, no Holocaust, and a very different global power balance. So much of today’s world, from the US as a superpower to Israel- Palestine and nuclear politics, might have played out differently. Hard to say exactly, but it’s definitely one of those pivotal moments in history.

Yep, the Yankees somehow pulled it off shook up the whole world in the process.
