This man would get trench foot, breathe in mustard gas and get his head blown off because he didn’t crouch low enough in the trench. All within a week of joining the war effort

Peak Internet is people complaining about the very existence of the Internet while logged into the Internet. You can totally put your phone down and move away from your desk anytime you want.

I like that he also assumes he’d survive fighting in two world wars

That one Milwaukee guy @milwaukeeclintonv.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Wow.

optimistic of him to think that being born in 1900 means he would live to be over 80 years old

And also while I'm winning all these world wars, I spend time in Japan, becoming the greatest ninja and a master calligrapher with various waifus. And also I join a team of people with incredible superpowers, including a metal Russian who throws me. And also I have a healing factor and metal claws

there is something so delightful about how naive it is to think you would fight in WWI as a 19 year old and still be down to fight in WW2.

“Hey everyone! Let’s get some Mustard gas! I’ll be retiring in the 60s!!”

I don’t want to be bothered with anytime before penicillin was invented (1928).

The wild overconfidence of those that thought they could beat Serena Williams in a tennis match, here reformed as "I'd love to survive two world wars with sufficient appendages and trauma to then thoroughly enjoy the fun of the cold war."

I too wish he had this exact life path

pinko-slime.bsky.social @pinko-slime.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Yeah this guy would probably end up as an infant mortality statistic

Drew Kadel @drewkadel.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

When I was 14, I asked my Grandpa what it was like to be in WW1. His entire response: "It was terrible."

That guy's is obviously an American who isn't particularly good at math, but if you lived in a country where someone could expect to see significant combat both as a teenage boy in WWI and middle aged man in WW2, the 20s weren't roaring in any way you'd want to be a part of.

Imagine if social media existed in the 40s, how obnoxious they would have been about how bad they had it after two world wars and a depression. And yes, the greatest generation would've also been loud and annoying about the shit they had to deal with if they had this void to scream into

Dave/Hagan/Idiot @binkythebomb.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Wait.... this guy thinks he's surviving WW1? With polo waiting to mug him first before reaching his teenaged years?

Rebecca @rebeccameadows.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

I dunno, I wish all of these people could go do that.

Fat Tea @fat-teabskysocial.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

did, did he think the great depression was fun or something???

Tim Price @timprice.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

Love to return to war in my 40s to relive my teen glory in the trenches

The guy from Push, Nevada @athlstn.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Among other things, being in your 60s in the 60s must have sucked. You’re broken and tired and the kids are all doing drugs and listening to rock music.

CRobertBuchanan @crobertbuchanan.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Best guess is he would make it to about 2017.

Scheming Eunuce @apnudd.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Imagine actually WANTING to throw yourself into the bloody gaping maw of WWI, knowing full well with the power of historical hindsight that you will rot from the feet up in freezing mud whilst the corpses of your friend hang from barbed wire above you, waiting to join them in abject terror.

I would also have him born then.

He does realize that without the “internet bullshit” he would be working a minimum wage job right?

Dylan @dyl057.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

What would actually happen is this person would survive two years of brutal trench warfare, including being mustard gassed a time or two, only to come home with shell shock and instantaneously die of the Spanish Flu
