Could you also fix the 2000 election so the winner would have won?

The winner was the guy who could successfully exert power over the judiciary, while the loser was the guy without a committed vanguard ready to storm an election counting office to guarantee victory.

Killing Hitler right now would be a mistake. No nuclear arms race means no nuclear power, no cold war (which was better than a hot war), and far less advancements (kiss computers bye bye!).

I feel like no Hitler would change so many things that it'd be hard to make a concrete prediction on what the world would look like today.

Yes; it would be great to have fixed this

The only thing that would be sure is that no one born after he was killed would exist.

I feel that it's a bit of a false dichotomy to say that if WW2 didn't happen then those things also wouldn't happen. There's nothing inherent about WW2 that had to happen for those advancements - they may have just been achieved faster due to the war.

Real solution is sending a nuke through time to kill Hitler at the start of the war.

Killing Hitler doesn’t even necessarily prevent WWII or the Holocaust. Changed no doubt but out right prevented is crazy

I think you may be thinking about economics and progress at that time like you would at this time. Remember that at that time most innovations came from government funding.

During WW2 there was plenty of money spend on funding innovation and research. If a lab has the money to hire more researchers and help then they get to the invention faster. I don't disagree that some advancements would have happened, I just think we would be where we are now. We would be about 10 years back. The innovation was due to the funding. This pushed us farther than we would have at that time because there was a lot of incentive for more/better ways to win the war. In peace time there is less reason to fund as much research.

Private company's now have the money for R&D and can make the innovations because they are driven by profit. (lets push that discussion off, we need less ass hat people in charge) Back then they did not.

The war effort demanded developments in the field of science and technology, developments that forever changed life in America and made present-day technology possible.

Technology during World War II - Wikipedia

I find it super interesting that the development of the microwave is a direct result of radar technology. I am not comparing it to the computer or cell phone but its is a common household item that is a direct result from wartime developments.

Also ENIAC was the first general purposes computer that could do thousands of calculations in a second. This was only developed due to a desire to get an edge in the war. It didn't get completed as soon as hoped so it was used for other reasons but it was still a huge advancement due to the war. It eventually was used for calculations on feasibility of an H-bomb and then later used to calculate artillery firing tables.

no computer, no reddit, no tiktok, no excel, no powerpoint, no motivational linkedin accounts ans the best part for me, living a lot less

Honestly I think that what happened during WW2 set us up for about 80 years of relative peace and social progress. If you were lucky enough to live in a wealthy country at least.

Now that the people who learned those lessons are gone, we are back to having to relearn them. It's back to authoritarianism, fighting over borders and going after marginalized groups.

I think if it wasn't him, it likely would have been someone else. It's not a failure of the person but a failure of our societal values that allows something like that to happen at a major scale.
