Explanation: It's been pointed out before that there's a small window of time in which the fax machine, the Samurai class, and Abraham Lincoln all coexisted, making it theoretically possible for a samurai to send a fax to Abraham Lincoln.
But was there an undersea cable?
Japan wouldn't be connected by undersea telegraph cables until 1906, so our brave samurai will have to at least get to the Continental USA the old fashioned way.
I wonder if someday, far into the future, people will think this is an event that actually happened due to the sheer amount of memes implying it happened.
That is, provided our descendants aren't too busy fighting the bug horde.
The bug horde is inevitable.
I think you and I both know that is in fact what will happen.
Only if we switch to cave drawings after the global EMP takes out the series of tubes.
Can someone post this to tumblr and get it going? I'm gonna need this in a three part fanfic series by Thursday.
A place to share history memes!
