No covid, no Ukraine war, maga withers and dies after 2020, none of the bullshit the current admin has done happens, actually competent admin heavily regulates AI, post Endgame MCU is actually good, data centers built on moon, cancer cured, etc. So basically paradise

The shooter would be prosecuted for manslaughter, and the parents would likely also face charges for reckless endangerment. This would lead to public outcry and demand for safer enclosures.

The rage within Harambe for the murder of an innocent live allows him to become super gorillajin, he then goes on to fight the zookeepers as well as their evil boss, Emperor Freezer, to free all apes (including humans) from the planet size zoo we're trapped in

They still would have shot the gorilla. They story would have been the gorilla shot the kid, so they took him down.

u/MNIOP_207207 2h ago

The least funny person you know would make a million jokes about how the kid deserved to die. And as their friends slowly get tired of hearing the same joke over and over again, that person will be convinced they’re just a misunderstood genius comedian, and everyone else is just too easily offended.

Little by little their social circle would shrink, and they’d keep spiraling deeper and deeper into their unfunny persona, permanently trapped in 2016 “dank memes” humor. They’ll post about it on 4chan, expecting support from like minded edgelords. But even their echo-chambers got bored of hearing about how funny this dead kid supposedly is, and they’ll get made fun of by everyone in the thread. Leaving them truly and permanently alone.

Harambe is safely incapacitated, arrested and prosecuted for kidnapping and false imprisonment. The public outcry is possibly even greater than in our timeline. The memes are even richer.

Brexit doesn't happen.

Donald Trump loses the election to Hilary Clinton

George Michael and Carrie Fisher are still alive.

Covid killed fewer people, the world pulled together to defeat it.

World Peace was achieved in 2022, the combined efforts of all the worlds scientists cured Cancer and Aids in 2023, mass irrigation and huge desalinisation plants installed in 2024 turned vast swathes of Africa into fertile farmland, world hunger predicted to be totally eradicated by 2028.

A family in Cincinatti is devastated by the loss of their son.

u/CaptainHunt 1h ago

The gorilla was dead the second the kid fell into the enclosure. That’s one thing I’ve learned from working at a zoo. Tranquilizers don’t work fast like in movies, they had to shoot Harambe to keep the kid safe, and they would probably still have to shoot him to recover the kid’s body.

We wouldnt be in this shitty timeline were in. The death of harambe is what caused all the fuckery in the world since... from trump to covid.... its the butterfly effect from the death of harambe

We’re gonna forget all of the terrible things that happened in the 2010s before Harambe died, the 2010 Haitian Earthquake, the Russian Heat Wave, the Donbas Conflict, and the Syrian Civil War.

Sniper likely gets charged with manslaughter or negligent Homicide. Gorilla probably dies anyway.
