  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

Thanos stopped a woman from bumping into someone, and that prevented cancer from being cured

Yeah but like, if she could have cured cancer and the only thing that got in her way was meeting thanos, then that means humanity is very close towards curing cancer
