What would be considered a “galactic screwup”?
Isaac Arthur is a popular YouTuber who explores different topics in futurism. He makes a new video every Thursday and he is amazing. In June, one of his episodes is called “Galactic screwups”. I love looking at his Google Doc and guess what he is going to cover based on the title. Yet the “Galactic screwups” one is stumping me. Isaac often talks about highly advanced societies employing gamechanging super-advanced tech that can alter the universe on a grand scale. So basically, their is little to nothing “impossible” on Isaac’s channel. What do you think he will cover in “Galactic Screwups”? My theory is that he will cover stellar engineering projects that may go awry and wreck planets or stars but I would like some other opinions on obscure hypothetical mistakes future humans or aliens might make.
For Reduction: Isaac explores spectacular concepts with REAL science and often determines they cannot be done.
For ?: I KNOW who Isaac Asimov is. Isaac Arthur is a different person. He has a YouTube channel that he started in 2014. The name similarly is just a funny coincidence.

A galactic screw up would be giving technology to a hostile species.

"little to nothing impossible"! That says it all. It is pure fantasy.
Nevertheless thanks for the recommendation. I will look it up. I feel like I need to be appalled by something occasionally.

Alternative timelines where the Milky Way Galaxy does not exist or suddenly blinks out of existence when time lines rejoin. Time travel research and experimentation can screw the entire Universe.
I am reading "Forbidden History" right now , a Star Trek Original Series book.
Isaac Asimov DIED on April 6 1992. nearly 29 YEARS ago.

Well, it wasn't *our* galaxy, but there was one that gave an Emperor complete power over the senate, and... well... you know what happened...
