History WMG / SaladFingers

This theory might explain things about how the ResetButton works in Salad Fingers' world. For example, in Episode 10 he seems to have become elderly due to a Rip Van Winkle-like sequence of events, but his aging is undone by the next episode. This makes sense if he's sometimes replaced with a younger version of himself, as is explicitly depicted in Episode 13. Further, it might explain his apparent insanity as being the result of CloneDegeneration over time.

[[WMG: There Was a Nuclear War]]

* But,wait! It gets worse!

The Great War is the same one in the fallout universe,and it is set in a particularly Bombed area of The United States. The girl that you saw during the picnic episode? She was from Shady Sands,and was looking for some help,because she got kidnapped by raiders but managed to escape and ran off,leading her to this hellhole!

But,wait! If this is set in the fallout universe,where is all the Raiders,or the brotherhood?

Seriously? Who would want to go to the place where Salad Fingers lived? Anyway,the brotherhood only come when there is tech,and the only technology I saw in the series was that bloody radio,and that probably didn't even work in the first place! The raiders also come when there is stuff to pil-- HEY! Wait! Maybe they did come! Maybe Salad Fingers was an odd ghoul living there,with the long fingers and all,and went totally insane when he saw the raiders destroying everything he knew! Maybe he had friends! Those were the sock puppets! Maybe it's set just after the war,since he says to a sock puppet that he didn't see him,since the person who the puppet was based on was a soldier in the great war...

Hey,wait. That doesn't make sense. The Great War was nuclear warfare,so...HOW CAN YOU GO TO A NUCLEAR WAR?

Maybe Salad Fingers meant the resource wars,not the great war. That was probably the nickname for the resource wars.

[[WMG: Salad Fingers 11: Glass Brother is a joke at the expense of theorists]]

[[WMG:The reason why Salad Fingers acts and sees the world the way he does is because he's under the influence of drugs]]
He might be using some kind of drug to calm his nerves and put his mind at ease after all the troubles he has supposedly gone through in his life. The drug he might be using could be hallucinogenic, which is probably why his mental state is so screwy and he has all these weird visions of different people or things. Kind of makes sense if you think about it, doesn't it?
