Ignorance is not a solution. I can ignore cars while walking across the street, but it’s probably a bad idea since I might get hit. This motherfucker is going to affect the future of the planet, so all hands on deck, red alert, pay attention. The man is a criminal, he should be in prison, not running a country. I want him feeling like he’s under a microscope with the whole world watching.

Antiques Roadshow.

Map makers:

Maybe it just sounds like you’re advocating for Reddit posts because your Lemmy feed isn’t congested with trash. And, who’s checking reddit every two seconds? Not this cookie.

Also, on a personal level, I found most of the trans communities on Reddit cringeworthy and deplorable. It’s a major factor why I left. I find people here more intelligent and open-minded, regardless of the lack of content.

I think most of us know why we’re here.

I don’t know, I burned that bridge for a reason, mainly Spez and the whole API debacle (RIP Reddit is Fun). I also don’t want to contribute to sending traffic to Reddit nor pulling posts from it.

I also don’t use X nor Instagram. If Lemmy becomes like that, I’m gonna make like a tree and fuck off.

You’re gonna need a lot of apples.

And he should get run over by an unmanned Tesla, just to drive the point home.

Cats are bred like this too, such as the Scottish Fold. They have a genetic mutation that causes problems with bone and cartilage growth, as well as kidney problems. Some countries have already banned their breeding, and it is in my opinion they should do the same for certain dog breeds. They’re not cute if they’re suffering.

Daddy, would you like some sausages?

Jumping forward to change something in the future isn’t what I suggested. Jumping forward to learn and make a change in your present based on that knowledge is. It also depends on your timing. The farther ahead your jump, the bigger the change in the outcome, but it also depends on your relevance to the situation. It helps if you aren’t involved with the event.

Traveling to the past: You can’t go into the past because doing so would change who you are and thus your reason for traveling in the first place. For example, killing Hitler when he was a baby would completely change the world as we know it, thus change you as you are. You might not have been born, or if you were, you wouldn’t know who Hitler was, so there was no reason to go into the past, thus your time travel never happened in the first place. It’s a paradox via butterfly effect. To underscore this further, you couldn’t even change the history of another planet’s species simply because it’s still a part of your timeline. Same universe.

The only scenario where it might work is going into the past as an impartial observer and not having any impact at all (some kind of magical bubble where you are invisible and no effect on the past). That would be fun, because you get to learn about history firsthand.

An interesting time travel alternative is Trunks’ timeline from Dragonball Z, where he went to the past, saved their future, but the androids in his timeline still persisted. This leads me to believe it was not just another time but another dimension (a la Rick and Morty).

Traveling to the future is a bit easier. Technically, with the proper spacecraft, you can go into the future (go sit around Sag A* for a bit), but it would be a future where you weren’t around to have an influence in it. It would be like temporarily kidnapping yourself. This might be similar to how people came back five years later after being snapped by Thanos in the MCU.

IMO, the best use of time travel would be to go to the future tomorrow to scan ahead and see what happens (as long as you wouldn’t have been needed in that future), then going back to the present time just seconds after you left. So little would have changed that your timeline would remain intact (only your biological clock would be off). So, you might be able to prevent incidents in the world by constantly jumping ahead to see what was going to happen. A future-scanning time traveler might have been able to prevent the recent New Orleans tragedy from happening. They could also be lazy and just learn the winning lottery numbers.

I go outside with arms open wide, saying “it’s about time”.

Hallmark Channel: But wait! There’s more!

The thing I think that a lot of people forget is that you don’t have to wait until Christmas/Yule to do it. Imagine if everyone treated each other like it was Christmas every day of the year. Just, you know, without all the depressing nostalgia music and needing to spend money willy-nilly. What an idea!

Yeah, tell that to the racists, fascists, and other forms of assholery in the world.
