Complexity Addiction: Difference between revisions

* In an episode of ''[[Underdog (animation)|Underdog]]'', Simon barSinister's plan to take over the city was thwarted because he couldn't reach a vital piece of equipment due to the [[Useful Notes/Thanksgiving Day|Thanksgiving Day]] Parade blocking the street. Fortunately, he has a time machine. How does he use it? Option A: Go back in time to that morning, cross the street before the parade starts. Option B: Go back in time one day, tell his troops the attack is postponed until Friday, when the parade won't be blocking the street. Option C: Go back in time one week, and move the device to the other side of the street, so the parade won't be an issue. What he comes up with is Option D: Go back ''several hundred years'' and sabotage the formation of Plymouth Plantation so that [[Useful Notes/Thanksgiving Day|Thanksgiving Day]] never happens, and therefore the [[Useful Notes/Thanksgiving Day|Thanksgiving Day]] Parade will not exist to keep him from crossing the street. He opted to try to alter centuries of history, possibly creating a [[Butterfly Effect]] that would cause the city he wanted to conquer to never exist in the first place, just to remove a temporary ''traffic obstacle''.
