      When you went back in time to prevent Hitler’s entry into art school so that you wouldn’t have to analyse his overrated aquarrells in art class anymore.

      Fun fact: Hitler’s father was called Alois Schicklgruber until he was 40.
      A pretty convoluted and sketchy turn of events surrounding a small inheritance lead to him being forced to change his last name to Hitler, 10 years before his son Adolf was born.
      It’s debatable whether Germans would have been as eager to shout “Heil Schicklgruber”.

        They would opt to “Heil Führer” or something. There are other ways to refer to someone than their given name but it’s a fun fact indeed, thanks for sharing!

    I’ve long ascribed to the theory that, if time travel is ever invented, no one kills Hitler because WWII was inevitable and Hitler actually bungled a lot of key decisions. I’m praying Trump is the same. Maybe this is the most painless purging of nationalist sentiment across the timelines.

      Changing timeline with useful morons. Not a bad idea.

      So, 3rd world war will start and Russia will launch nukes. Nato will fuck up their response, because of the orange freek. Most Russian nukes either fail to fly, fail to detonate or the yeald is garbage, because corruption and stolen maintenance funds. Earth will only be partially ruined. Russia will declare victory and soon collapse due to internal conflicts, arguments about the new world order and related assassinations. Something better will eventually rise from the mess.
