Blame the time vortex and an information paradox called Bad Wolf.

- or "wibbly wobbly timey wimey... stuff" if you prefer.

Jolly good, that would already be very close to what I'm hoping hear which is that I am in fact talking to the time travelling device and that its proprietor has gone missing for exactly those wibbly wobbly reasons.

Don't go back too far! People from 1000 years ago or even probably just 250 years ago will probably die from your modern germs, causing a history changing plague if it spreads!

Unless you have some sort of all purpose antibacterial/viral gel to be applied sexily to each other's skin under black light before and after contact. Then do go ahead.

With COVID around, I could see as little as 10-15 years

The best part is that if time travel is ever invented then it already has been.

inquire if they can take me with them. Going on a dr who adventure sounds like a grand old time. Plus would be amazing to access future medical technology.

Have you gone to see the dinosaurs yet? No?

Okay, then are you going to go see the dinosaurs after this?

Go back and kill Abraham. Let's see if it changes history for the better.

Or at least stop him from creating a religion from his schizophrenia.

You toy with powers greater than any God, Jesus christ where are you getting the energy from?

Find that fish that crawled out of the ocean and evolved into us and kick it back in. None of this is worth it, we might be happier as dolphins.

palordrolap@fedia.io · 6 pts · 209d (1 reply)

Dolphins evolved from land mammals just like we did. Kick that fish and there won't be any dolphins.

Asafum@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 209d

Hmmm... Seems the dolphins really were the smart ones after all, they went back.

Wrongdoer; it might be harmful. Time travel brings injustice.

you’re a dumbass, eat some mints in the future and go back, cause a fucking paradox of knowing what’s gonna happen in the future, then don’t eat mints after you did in the future.
