Yep I'm glad this is number 1. The fact that multiple countries around the world could end the world with a push of a button and not all those countries are run by stable, level headed individuals. A megalomaniac could end life as we know it just because his ego got bruised

WW2? Probably.

Every era comes with its own issues. It depends on who you are, tbh.

The Great Depression lead to a world war. That world war lead to a recession, which lead to another world war. Which led to the 2nd or 3rd industrial revolution, which then led to proxy wars. Anyway now we're here, without ever being there, and its as if its all been parts of one big-a*s timeline. I dont know where else to go so Im leaving this here.

I would imagine being any Native population during colonisation period would have been terrifying. Australian Aboriginal people (particularly Sydney area) believe when you die you become white and walk out to the sea and head up to the sky to make your campfire with the Ancestors. Imagine what they thought when WHITE fellas turned up from over the sea! We thought the dead had returned!

Now is pretty terrifying tbh. I would also note the end of days seems a pretty terrifying timeline as well, but they might be one in the same honestly

For snyone not white in southern ontario and lower during slavery. Yes i may live in canada but slave catchers were known to sneak just across the borderand, during a time when people of colour were seen as subhuman, there were frequent instances of them taking the incorrect person.

I wish to point out that i have little faith in people's ability to tell people like me apart. I used to work with a girl who looked NOTHING like me (think the movie twins) and customers, managers and places we frequented always confused us. Like we had a similar skin tone and both were tallish... but I'm 6ft and wear 2-4" heels. She's 5'8 and only wears sneakers. She had torso length braids, i have shoulder length curls. She wore glasses, I didn't. She had broad features, I have fine features. She had medium brown eyes, I have jet black eyes. I would get customers yelling at me over things i had no idea about or a manager asking me about a problem resolution on a day I wasn't there. Even the starbucks would see me and immediately ring me up for her drink and do the reverse for her. Was twilight zone levels of WE LOOK NOTHING ALIKE!

Europe during the onslaught of the bubonic plague. No one knew the cause, but they knew the people around them were dropping like flies, suffering and festering the whole way down. The treatments were either ineffective, worsened it, or killed the patient. Funnily enough, one of the most well-known survivors was Isaac Newton (the founder of gravitational theory, as well as a lot of other crucial mathematical methods of describing natural events): mainly because, at the time, he lived completely separated from basically the rest of humanity because he hated people. So I guess the way to live would be to live in the absolute middle of nowhere.
