The Alternate Timeline Iceberg Explained - The Middle

Have been ill the past few weeks, sorry for the raspy voice.. Love you all! If you're going through hell, keep going! 💜

The divergence in Code Geass's timeline isn't just the battle of Trafalgar, but also the introduction of immortal witches who can grant superpowers and also the existence of a super-fuel called Sakuridite; which made it so that the industrial revolution happened around 100 years earlier. There's also an earlier point of divergence with the Americans losing the revolutionary war.

Just that Neanderthal Paradox timeline is insane. The idea of all hunter gatherer but they have quantum physics and industry and robotics is nuts. Farming is what allowed us to devote large numbers of people to things other than sustaining life via gathering.

Hey Connor, found your channel recently and I wanted to say how impressive it is that you coordinate thorough research, an original script, chill narration, plus actual live video and graphics, all with a very natural presentation. I can tell you understand the topics and are speaking from personal knowledge and research rather than reading from a script, or god forbid using AI. Also thank you for not using ~wacky memes~ or sudden changes in volume or lame background music—I fall asleep to these sometimes and the consistent volume levels and lack of sudden changes is very much appreciated. You also have a more even-keeled and rational approach to these topics without over-dramatizing and over-acting. Hope your channel really blasts off.

I clicked on this instantly the 1st vid in this series was great

Thus reminds me of that Terry somethingglove golddove? Oh it was Harry turtledove. I was halfway there (oh oh living on a prayer)

this is what a channel looks like before it blows up.

I'm sure i'm gonna love the vid, but did you just say you drink your coffee with butter?!

You're easily the best iceberger! Thank you for your work :)

Anyone else have questions about the coffee with butter?… 💀

Have only watched some of it before posting. The first video was great and this has been just as good so far. Diving deep enough into what you are covering and covering a variety of sources. A couple of other content creators I follow have covered this subject too but I really love how you inject spontaneity into your storytelling.

My fav alternative timeliness is still the one where trump gets elected to office. So bats**t crazy.

i don't expect you to know polish history, but polish culture being repressed by russian empire actually happened. kids weren't allowed to learn polish at school for example. it always surprises me how little non-poles know about the 1700s partitions... Xavras Wyżryn is directly inspired by the 1800s literaterary era when writers revisted pagan past, wrote about past glories to inspire fight for independence as well as explored progressive ideas. the book is basically 'what of poland lost its independence once again? fun fact the 1800s era gave you the jester in red outfit painting that became a meme, the painter basically spent his whole career making reimaginations of important events in polish history. his polish kings portraits series is iconic and used everywhere from notes to history posters

Seeing this on the feed i was super stoked to see. can't wait to see what lurks further beneath going forward. out of many icebergs i've seen, this serhies has been on top so far. i appreciate and adore actually going into depth about the entries instead of just a quick synopsis

Thx for your videos. They’re always a great pleasure. One sport from 1901 book - Germany can not attack Poland 1901 or so, just because Poland does not exist! All ares what is now Poland belonged that day to Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary.

I get you've been ill, but DUDE! you look like you got in a fight lol

1:34:32 So in this story you have Moses and the Jews walking through a temporarily parted Red Sea then suddenly God was like "Psyche!"

connor is so underrated tbh

Fun fact: Zhirinosky is Jew, and in Russia no one took him seriously, but it’s funny that some of his predictions came true

The 1901 scenario is a little too far fetched. There is absolutely no way the German navy would get anything past the British navy of 1901 to supply an army of hundreds of thousands of men across the Atlantic.
