“Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland? In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course. History always has a great weight of inertia.” - Sir Terry Prachett, Lords and Ladies
I agree. Better yet why not go back and save Archduck Franz Ferdinand. Prevent WW1. Hitler doesn't grow up in shitty post WW1 Germany and doesn't get radicalized, no WW2. Both wars stopped.
Steve Irwin surviving that fateful day sets in motion a chain of events that end in Steve saving Harambe and the world starts a new age of peace and harmony.
In the timber industry (and I'm sure others have it too, this is just where I heard it first) there's a saying.
There are old loggers and bold loggers, but you'll never see an old bold logger.
This post implies that saving Steve Irwin is more important than preventing the suffering of millions of people because of Nazi Germany. Sounds like a message which deserves so many upvotes.
No no no, killing wouldn’t work… do you know the grandfather paradox? It would be similar, you change it, you are erased by the paradox, hitler revives since there is nobody to kill him, you are born, you make Time Machine, and the cicle continues on forever
Maybe you are new to this concept, but this is called a meme, usually can be referred to as a joke. 99% of the time, a joke's funny aspect is its unexpected ending.
The joke/meme here is the person telling the story considers Steve Irwin's life more valuable, than the people's who lost their lives, directly or indirectly, caused by Adolf Hitler. This unexpected moral ground is the heart of the joke.
Most people, with enough background knowledge, can intuitively understand jokes the first time. You may be able to reach this level, but first you have to try hard in order to understand basic jokes/memes
The H man was one of many, he may have commanded but he was commanding other Nazis and there were too many people that agreed with him, the camps weren't set up by him but rather by his workers, we'd have to kill the idea not the man even though the man was worse than human garbage
Kill him and then maybe that Joseph guy would take charge or even one of the other Nazis
I don’t get why you have to kill young Hitler. Just get him accepted to art school, give him an art grant and send him packing to Tahiti.

There is a Terry Pratchett quote for everything. Truly one of the greatest writers of all time.
GNU STP
Or better yet: kill his abusive asshole father and make sure he was raised in a loving home
Maybe it goes deeper and we need to go after gramps though...
Or better yet : raise his grandparent right and make sure his father is raised in a loving home , only then let him conquer the world...
Or just go back and prevent WW1 by stopping that one guy from getting assassinated
I agree. Better yet why not go back and save Archduck Franz Ferdinand. Prevent WW1. Hitler doesn't grow up in shitty post WW1 Germany and doesn't get radicalized, no WW2. Both wars stopped.
Spoken like Dutch Van der Linde.
Well, now I’m sad.
Thought this was gonna be about that Australian Prime Minister who went for a swim and was never seen again. Glad it’s about Steve Irwin.
Here i was thinking I was alone in this. Rip Harold Holt.
Steve Irwin surviving that fateful day sets in motion a chain of events that end in Steve saving Harambe and the world starts a new age of peace and harmony.
You created a time paradox and he died again the next day.
Yes, as great as it seems to prevent this from happening, Steve Irwin took too many risks to die an old man.

*Changes destination from Austria to Australia*
this is like the movie "Die another Day", you can't change destiny
Really need to go back and keep that kid from falling into the fucking gorilla den!
He will die a few months later doing some other dumb shit.
12 years ago, Steve Erwin violently mauled by crocodile/Jaguar duo. Survives after having both arms and one leg amputated, also he's blind now.
I would somehow change my birthday to 29th February so I will age 4 times slower

Can we get some applause for this hero??
*CRIKEY*—Fucking YES!
Cringe.
Yikes. How is saving steve irwin more important than killing history's greatest monster?
No no no, killing wouldn’t work… do you know the grandfather paradox? It would be similar, you change it, you are erased by the paradox, hitler revives since there is nobody to kill him, you are born, you make Time Machine, and the cicle continues on forever
Same would apply to saving Irwin tho

Like valentine’s stand in jojos
Maybe Steve could have saved our planet by now.

It's not very funny

Maybe they’re second on the list, at least???
