16 Choices
Every individual will make 16 choices in their lifetime that will forever alter the course of humanity. No more than 16, no less than 16. These choices will be small, and at the time of decision, will mean nothing. They won’t have to be choices which result in action, they could be choices that result in inaction. But months, years along the way, when the full impact of your decisions and the chain reaction of events they have caused are felt… you may have been the one who caused the end of the world. And you will never know.
Interesting. TL;DR
So, basically, something like this can happen:
I eat a sandwich, a sandwich that a group of ants wanted to eat. But, seeing that I’m eating it and there’s no way they’re going to reach it, they instead decide to look for food elsewhere They walk as far as several yards from my house, and catch the attention of some sort of ant-eating slightly poisonous spider. These ants come across a young boy eating lunch. The boy doesn’t notice as the ants begin to carry some crumbs back to their ant-hill. The spider, who was quietly stalking the ants, closes in on it’s prey. But, suddenly, the 7-year-old boy places his hand behind him, crushing the ant, and scaring the spider. The spider, scared to f*cking brick-sh*tting, bites the boy, but he doesn’t notice.
Unknown to the boy, he is allergic to the otherwise harmless poison that comes from the spider’s fangs. Three weeks later, he dies. That boy would have otherwise grown up to form a domestic terrorist force, which, within twelve years, would be a serous threat to national security, and within fifty years, would have enough followers to secede several states from the United States government, within 90 years, overthrow the United States government, and within 200 years from now, start an ongoing Cold War with Britain, which would eventually end in the total destruction of every major city in every developed country in the world, and the death of approximately 2.5 billion people, just over one third of the world population
GREAT WORK SANDWICH MAN!
Nice job Readman, all because you wanted a stupid sandwich…
I enjoyed Readman’s example more than the actual creepypasta.
Wow! I can’t even remember what I did yesterday…
Good for you Zombie.
And I have and example to.
I was riding my bike to swim team practice. And instead of turning right like usual, I turn left. I crash into some speeding drunk, who spins out of control and dies.
If this person had lived, he/she would have gotten over their drinking problem. He/she would have gone to law school, and eventually run for president. As president that person would have established world peace, and democracy.
So becasue I turned left, every single countryon this planet is part of the 3rd World War. (Or the 4th depending on how you see the war we’re in now.)
o_o
too much thinking goin on in dis place!
I took a big stinky dump and flushed it, the corn from that turd could have fed the starving orphan watching me take a dump but will now die. If that orphan would have lived he could have had the son that could have diffused a nuclear threat between the nations of the world. but now we will have a nuclear fallout in 46 years.
i enjoyed readman’s post too =]
i’d come up with something but i’m tired
Lol nice post Readman, it also helps that I was listenin to Requiem for a Dream at the moment, adding to the epicness =]
This was real silly.
And what’s with the number 16?
BUT WHO WAS CHOICE?
One day you go shopping, and though you want the eye catching yellow shirt, you know you need to go for a simpler solution for work.
After changing into your new shirt, you walk down the street and find yourself blending into the crowd.
When you look next to you, you see a woman in the shirt that you were planning to buy.
A man also sees this woman
He stalks her and eventually kills her
This woman was going to cure the cold and flu viruses for good
But because she was not around to cure them, the viruses mutated into super viruses capable of killing humans
50 years from now the entire world is slowly dying off due to nothing more than the flu
Would you be willing to sacrifice yourself for humanity?
Yellow’s not really my colour
