    *goes aaaaaaall the way back to that fucking fish that first evolved proto-lungs*

    *kicks it back into the water*

    This is for the greater good, you little bastard!

      You do this every morning to try and imprint the behaviour, when you get back all thats changed is almost all land dwelling life is now nocturnal because the proto lung fish learned to come out at night.

        Way too much work. I just want the one that set the branch for this timeline’s iteration of mammals: get it eaten, fast forward to today’s timeline and see if Lungfish B managed to evolve into a dominant race that doesn’t brandish shit like greed, racism, religion, aggression, etc.

        If things look the same or worse, go back and punt that removed back into the water too, and see how Lungfish C does.
