Assume there are multiple alternate timelines. Which one do we

The one where Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, triggering WWI!

Solid answer, especially because the plot came so close to failing. Not to get too /his/ but don't you think the political and cultural climate was set for war even if some other event was the trigger?

Also checked.

Of course it was. That's very clear from not only the actions of the countries involved or their extreme over-eager reactions, but also plain to understand from just the nature of the pre-existing alliances, especially their purpose.

The point is though, we are the timeline where Ferdinand was assassinated, which was the official trigger for WWI. We are also the timeline where Mozart didn't live to be 40. We are the timeline where Zuckerberg owns facebook and the timeline where I just ate some rice.

I do not know of any theory of alternative timelines where any of these events are more significant than others. It's a meaningless question to ask "Which timeline do we exist in?" because the answer is: The one where the events took place, that have taken place so far.

It's common knowledge that the assassination was just a trigger, war was inevitable.

The value of pi.

Some more stuff like that.

The idea of many alternate timelines is existentially horrifying and a form of ultimate nihilism. See Plinkett's "Argument against Many Universes as Experienced by Worf."

I don't think you understand how timelines would work.
We wouldn't have a "unique" timeline. There's probably billions of timelines that are exactly like ours.

There may be infinite timelines, but there still isn't one where OP is not a faggot.
