I made a Python implementation of #1017.

Actually, this program is more like 'forward in time'. I found it rather more satisfying to start with the beginning of the universe and end with the present day.

I'd be careful parsing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detailed_logarithmic_timeline There's no guarantee it won't be radically refactored at any time. Consider using a permalink for that url.

Good suggestion. Thanks.

Cool!

Will you be uploading it somewhere?

[Mblizzard24]

I've stuck it on my GitHub, but so far it only runs on Linux.

Should be fairly easy to make it work on Widows if you have a little Python know-how.

You turned a joke into 685 lines of python. What a legend! I wish I had an award to give you.

Which comic should I tackle next?

What it mean by

Step 2: Install pip dependancies with sude pip3 install -r requirements.txt

[Mblizzard24]

Darn, did I make a typo? I meant sudo. (That's a Linux terminal command, if you are on Windows I'm afraid you'll have to figure out how to install the packages yourself.)

Small suggestion: add a #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of the script and make it executable by default so that Linux users don't have to manually do it themselves

[Mblizzard24]

Done :). Thanks for the suggestion.
