The Thanos Snap has sooo many problems associated with it. It’s developed by an evil multinational that doesn’t listen to its users and keeps trying to force itself on the universe.
People should use the Thanos Flatpak instead…
Jesus would be funny. Honestly any key religious figure or even their betrayers (Judas) would just make for just a wildly different human race.
Would this delete the religion or make the religion undeniably false? I’m asking from the historical fact he existed as a human. If he definitely did not exist but it continued to exist idk if that would change much. If Christianity never existed in sure we would be speaking Arabic.
Interestingly, we may not be speaking Arabic anyway.
Christianity wouldn’t exist without Jesus as a central figure, and Islam probably wouldn’t exist without Christianity, as there would be no background for archangel Gabriel to deliver God’s “final” revelation, and he would just be the defender of Israelis as told in Hebrew Bible (correct me if I’m wrong).
Without Islam, there would be no single force to fuel Arabic expansionism, and so Arabs would find themselves on a similar ground with European civilizations. Israelis, on their end, could actually expand and permanently settle the land instead of rebuilding their country millennia after.
Did not consider that far, good thought! :)
Wonder if India and Central Asia would be Buddhist then.
Likely :)
Or alternatively, Christianity only exists because in an attempt to prevent it, someone from the future snapped Jesus out of existence. But it turns out that Jesus was just some dude who liked to do nice things for people until one day he poofed out of existence in front of a crowd and everyone suddenly figured he must be a god.
lol! That’s a fun alternative which is kind of already the story! Minus the son of man part
Judas’ betrayal was a canon event for christianity, so I’m pretty sure Jesus would just snap him back to life.
I’m sure it’s been done, a novel where this exact thing happens would be kinda interesting.
Reagan probably. If my understanding of history is correct, its the only thing that doesn’t delete me but helps the most.
How would removing Reagan help?
If it’s about the Berlin Wall, it’s not as if it wasn’t inevitable no matter who was president.
He broke basically every single pro middle class policy in the US. Unions, pensions, social security, taxes on the rich, exploded the deficit, congressional partisanship, brutal " better dead than red" foreign policy, on and on. He constantly broke every political “taboo” that protected these middle class bulwarks, and it worked. Our country has been brutalized for 40 years and counting, and most of the ugliness can be traced back to his administration.
He single handedly did more destruction to our nation than any other president so far, and yes that includes Trump.
Not to mention the completely failed War on Drugs which is still ongoing wasting trillions of taxpayer dollars providing jobs to the police to arrest minorities with laws aggressively passed to target them, and actively trying to to prevent more advanced research into “controversial” topics like HIV/AIDS and stem cells instead of actually trying to find treatments.
He may not have started some of these, or kept them going, but he expanded them and created a cult following for their continued implementation.
The Big Bang was a mistake.

Jack Welch’s whole business philosophy.
Before him, it was more or less understood that business owners had a responsibility to do what was best for their customers, their employees, their communities, and their company’s long-term sustainability; the companies that didn’t (or didn’t at least make it look like they were) were looked down upon.
Welch was the first one to popularize the notion that short-term shareholder value was the CEO’s highest priority. He normalized companies’ c-suites being cutthroat, craven capitalists.
To be sure, not everything that’s wrong with the world today can be laid at his feet. But late-stage capitalism can.
It was more Milton Freedman’s philosophy. Welch was teacher’s pet who implemented it to the fullest extent.
Richard Nixon
Henry Kissinger. Easy. Godfather of horrific war crimes and if we all die of nuclear annihilation one day he will be the person I would put the most blame on. It irritates the shit out of me that he died peacefully. A man who made sure napalm gets poured on civilian children? Gets to die like that? Fuck that goof and I hope he was afraid when he died and I hope it hurt.
This guy! This guy right here!! Holy fuck he lived for so fucking long too.
I listened to the Behind the Bastards series on him and it was a lot to unpack.
Whoever invented circular toilet seats and 1" long sink spigots.
If it was an event, I would choose World War 2. I’m Bohemian (Gypsy) and my people were just as hated as Jews (I’m also like 10% Jewish). So snap Hitler out of history please.
We can propagate effects through time? Perfect. I’m going send a snap forward into the future. From now on, anyone that attempts to gather up the infinity stones gets instantly dusted.
I feel like it’s one snap per attempt.
Like, thanos couldn’t permanently limit population, his one snap was big but finite.
Might as well Snap away the stones. They’re a thing. Much easier, very finite, just make sure you Snap away the stones deep into the past.

Why stop there? There’s an energy gulf between the evolution of DNA and the first thing we could call a cell. Eliminate the first cell to ever exist on the planet, and the right conditions to evolve to that point may never be replicated again.
A certain guy named
DavelPutin, he’s Stalin’s aggression mixed with Beria’s inconsideration at this point.Im thanos snapping Ea Nasir, he sold me inferior quality copper for way too much money >:c

Honestly, this was my first thought too. I wouldn’t mind getting off the wheel with absolutely no consequences.
