Great post. ๐Ÿ‘

Reminds me of the meme that says when people time-travel to the past, they're always worried about making a tiny change that would alter their present, but people never seem to think about the fact that a tiny change in the present can alter their future.

I LOVE Pratchett. I just finished The Last Continent and am starting The Truth now. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’›

My favorite quote of his is from Making Money:
"'Good heavens, potatoes are worth more than gold!โ€™ โ€˜Surely not!โ€™ โ€˜If you were shipwrecked on a desert island, what would you prefer, a bag of potatoes or a bag of gold?โ€™ โ€˜Yes, but a desert island isnโ€™t Ankh-Morpork!โ€™ โ€˜And that proves gold is only valuable because we agree it is, right? Itโ€™s just a dream. But a potato is always worth a potato, anywhere. A knob of butter and a pinch of salt and youโ€™ve got a meal, anywhere. Bury gold in the ground and youโ€™ll be worrying about thieves for ever. Bury a potato and in due season you could be looking at a dividend of a thousand per cent.'"
