A->B, given A is False, simplifies to:
False->A
Since in this implication, we are starting from a false assumption, we have already left the guardrails of consistency. So we can say whatever we want.
False -> A
False -> not A, as well!
The simplest way to look at it is, having a false assumption is the same thing as saying:
Assume contradictions, then …
Or,
Assume (False = True), then …
Given a false assumption, anything can be implied.
Because if False equals True, then whether A is True or False, it is also the other.

To take the antipode of feoren’s prosaic warnings against colorful context, let’s pile on context like it’s cake!
If we start in a false world, if the physics we live in are already a contradiction, then anything can happen!
Several impossible things before breakfast! Alice and wonderland!
You can have your cake (C) and eat it (not C) too!
