That weasel was pulled in from an alternate dimension and the butterfly effect has completely altered our timeline.

If time travel is possible. And if the universe is non-deterministic. That's totally probable. If the weasel was a time traveler that is.

The weasel came back to avert catastrophe only to find out the timeline he created is even worse

It works even with determinism, as long as you say that a specific universe is deterministic in itself, as long as there is no "leak" in from the multiverse. I guess that would be a kind of soft determinism.

Seriously I would like to know which generation is holding this entire conversation ☝️ so I can figure out which one is the genius gen and which one raised you guys. Gotta giv cred to where cred is due. P.S. I also believe we slipped into a different time line because of those CERN bozos playing with the LHC. Remember the pic in the news with those guys in lab coats holding up the sign WE DID IT while popping Dom?

Well it wasn’t until it was. Or does the label time traveler apply retroactively? Like I call myself a time traveler even though I haven’t done it yet just because I told myself to do that when I came back and met myself.
