        We are nothing but carbon based blobs with fancy pump mechanisms to the rest of us too.

        Mockery is absolutely needed to keep our narcissism of our fluid pumps in check, I think.

      If we’re truly on the worst timeline, and the multiverse exists, I can take comfort in the fact that there’s a version of me somewhere in the multiverse that’s actually doing well…

    This is already being done on Earth, by hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings; otherwise known as mice.

          I have now come to notice their is no towel emoji and the world is a little dimmer.
          All the power our planet can scrape to give us and I can’t even remind people they could be a cool frood for knowing where their towel is?

    More or less the plot of William Gibson’s book " peripheral". The TV adaption is not bad either.

    that would at least be a reasonable explanation as to why so many stupid things are happening at once

    If they are collapsing all other possibilities wouldn’t that reality be required to be the only reality making time travel impossible because there future selves didn’t exist in the one reality that they didn’t collapse? Unless we are saying that more than one type of time travel multi dimensional splitting exists in this universe and in this universe of time traveling quantum beings from an alternate universe, I’m just not willing to suspend my disbelief that much.

      Nothing so complicated. They just split the timeline into two. The first, they leave untouched. The second, they make their pitch about multiversal simulation results. If someone bites, they then use that untouched branch to simulate the bad decisions. Then they bring those results over to the first timeline and get their pay.

      If theyre shitty at their jobs they just leave those bad decision timelines laying around until they eventually collapse, but a good timeline simulator will usually clean up after themselves.

      “Collapsing the timelines” in this case is just pruning the results to show only what the client is after. It’s a major part of journeyman timeline simulators job to learn how to do effectively.

        But quantum probably fields have to either exist in all possible states while not collapsed or the one state after it collapse or else you would have potentially infinite matter from finite matter. Which would instantaneously turn every spot in the multiverse into a blackhole.
