If Rick's response is taken into consideration, while those people didnt die, the overall population numbers couldn't have been altered, so to get around that, the new reality writes so that the reason the number remained the same despite the victims getting deleted off the planet was that a bunch of people decided not to concieve at the same time, thereby maintaining the statistic down the line

So if I'm reading this right, the people that would have died in a war in the old reality were never conceived in the new one?

This worldbuilding for such a silly world is really fun. The "human"! Lmao!

I do, sorry. I guess it was a lazy use of "generational conflict" humor based on a coincidental lining up of timeframes.

The was meant as a half joke based on the fact that the boomer generation started with birth years at the end of WW2. so if the sudden decline in reproduction happened after the 50s event rather than retroactively to those who would have died, it would coincidentally mean that generation happens to be massively reduced in this world versus our own. It wasn't meant to imply that was your intention, sorry

The reverse world building, or ret-con "world explaining" is a really fun mental exercise, especially for things like DnD.

Woah so a world without war is also a world without boomers? Sweet. (Or was the reproduction dip before the war enough that everyone who died in it wasn't born?)
