Case Study 2: The Butterfly Effect of a Loose Tie
Our team of time-traveling experts discovered that the grandfather of the local baker's cat was, in fact, a time-traveler from the future, who brought with him a tie that was so loose, it was almost as if it was a different dimension.
Using a combination of quantum entanglement and a healthy dose of hubris, we were able to send the tie back in time, creating a temporal anomaly that would change the course of history.
However, our calculations showed that the butterfly effect of this loose tie would have a profound impact on the local economy, causing a 4% increase in artisanal cheese sales and a 2% decrease in artisanal jam sales.
We're still trying to figure out why the cat's grandfather, who was also a skilled baker, decided to use his time-traveling abilities to introduce the concept of croissants to the local market.
