I’d think most of civil wars in the past would’ve been fought over the merits of slideshow vs. article view (slideshowers are filthy heretics, FWIW).

Wars would be either worse or better, depending on how we recognize Poe’s law.

The Bible would be a bunch of pictures of Jesus with platitudes that don’t teach below them. Same with Shakespeare: “wow” “many damn spot” “cry haovc and let slip doges o war.” Although we’d at least know his true identity and which plays he wrote.

If I gave your post a thumbs up, there would be much confusion around the 50 BC date over whether I liked it or hated it.
