Oh wow , that ' s the first compliment about my eyebrows in forever . OO Thank you though ! !! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving ! <| sep |> gonna have to pass sorry GL on trading tho <| sep |> Good . Fuck ' em . <| sep |> What is wrong with you ? You seem to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic there mate . <| sep |> I ' ve been thinking about this exact thing in depth for a while now . Mainly during my daily commute because it ' s so easy to be killed while driving . I ' ll explain my train of thought and maybe it ' ll be what you ' re trying to say . Also , it ' s going to be kinda long . I ' ve put a lot of thought into this , and I ' m bored . I don ' t necessarily think of it as a jump . More like a seamless split . So , you ' re driving along one day and you narrowly avoid getting into a bad accident . This would be where the timeline splits . Sort of like a fork in the road , I guess . In the first timeline , the one that you ' ve been living in up until this moment , you don ' t avoid the accident and you die . That timeline continues on without you in it , i . e your loved ones mourn you and carry on with their lives . The second timeline is created at some point before you die . Maybe in the split second that you make the decision to either slam on the brakes or swerve . One kills you , one doesn ' t . I don ' t quite have that nailed down in a way that makes perfect sense yet . The second timeline is the one that you are now living in . You avoided the accident and continued living your life . Everything is exactly the same . Or maybe it isn ' t . If people are , in fact , dying and not dying due to a timeline shift , I think it ' s safe to assume that anything can happen . Anyway , you continue your life until there is another accident or a disease and the timeline splits again . Like , you get cancer , and in one timeline you die of it , but in the new timeline you beat it and survive . The split is so seamless that we never know . To you , you always avoid the accident . There could be hundreds of timelines created by your deaths . The only thing that I haven ' t been able to figure out is when people die of old age . That one boggles me . If your body is so old that it ' s just shutting down it would kind of make the death timeline shift an absolute hell . Imagine it , just blowing through timelines because your body just shuts down minutes after entering each timeline . Maybe someone else can ponder it and come up with something that kinda makes sense and isn ' t so horrifying .
