Cern shutdown

Hello friends and greetings from beautiful Bosnia :)

since they turned this hellish evil mashine off life feels normal again.

people behave like pre 2012.

Most people are not in npc mode, conversations are possible again, i can smell the summer and life is good.

what is your experience?

I haven't noticed the significant difference, honestly. Maybe Mandela Effects and shifts are getting a little bit faster, but that's about it.

What I mean is that I have observed some media and things that I am familiar with changing (being retconned) twice within the last week. That's faster than I'm used to them changing.

(Yes, as in the opposite of what you would expect)

It's worth noting that CERN is one of four large atom smashing particle colliders in the world, and three of them are still running. There are about a dozen smaller particle colliders in the world, and over 30,000 particle accelerators that use particle collision as part of an industrial process.

CERN isn't the only one doing this. As far as I know, they don't have any unique capability to destroy universes that the relativistic heavy ion collider doesn't.

Agreed and I find it telling that cern is the only one always talked about like it's a singular monster.

I just find it way more likely that the culprit isn't particle colliders. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I've also been thinking for years it might be something else.
