This is pretty much how I see those who romanticize the past.
I want to be spoiled in an old school relationship.
You want your voting rights revoked and getting beaten up by your drunk husband, which is then your fault somehow? Not really my kink but if you insist.
The only good old times were those before mankind started to mess up the entire planet.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.
It’s always a pleasure to come across a hoopy frood who knows where their towel is.
I’d go back in time to fifteen minutes ago when I had my earphones
Like fuck dude
I just had it and I can’t find the fucking things anywhere
edit: found it. If that was my only time travel opportunity, I’d take it
You can’t find them because you from 15 minutes in the future took them, duh.
This is some Dark-level time paradox stuff.
Way to find out you’re not in the prime timeline
Dude…we’re a few days away from trump having a too close to call election in which he’s made open statements about being a facist dictator if elected.
The price of food now requires a second mortgage. Mortgages that millenials don’t have, because they could never have a house.
4 years ago MURDER HORNETS migrated to America, and it wasn’t even in the top 10 of our worst problems in 2020.
What part of ANY of this makes you think we’re in the GOOD timeline???

I saved 15% off my car insurance by switching to GEICO?
Plot twist, you’re wearing them, and having a brain fart.
You underestimate my grasp of my own stupidity.
I checked my ears three times before posting that
I’m assuming that they’re Bluetooth, as if they were wired, the problem couldn’t really come up.
If they’re still paired to a device, crank the volume up and try playing something loud enough that you can hear it.
For Bluetooth devices that are powered on and responding to queries for nearby Bluetooth devices, you can also try asking a device that can pair with Bluetooth devices and show signal strength, like a laptop, to query for nearby devices, can kind of use to “home in” on the device.
Found em
they were on my desk under an old empty box of antidepressants
yeeted it
progress
Have you checked the top of your head?
what about your pockets?
Why would their headphones be in my pockets? O_o
I used to lose mine until I glued them onto a headband and used some paracord to tether it to my phone case.
They’re against the side of your computer
Very few time travel stories every address this and other detriments to the past. For most of history, the past has been a pretty horrible place compared to today unless you are rich and usually male. Even you are those, you don’t have to go far back to be victims of disease or injury commonly cured today. Depending on what part of the world you are in, and how far you are going back, your skin color, spoken language, or physical features may also put you in a world of hurt.
We still have a long way to go to be better, but as crazy as it seems, right now, is a really really good time for most of us compared to most of history with regard to freedom and health.

The only way I want to time travel is like…looking through a window to watch it.
Actually being there???
Fuck that, I like being alive and not not alive.
I wouldn’t mind the chance to occasionally go back in the past and talk to long lost loved ones, let them know I miss them and that everything’s alright.
Even if it was just limited to a time bubble and nothing I did in the past would change the present or future.
Going to the past within living lifetime would be fine! Probably!
I want to look and see ancient Mesopotamia but not like. Go there. Seems dangerous.
disease might be a particular issue beyond just that. Last thing you want is to give the past COVID or modern strains of the flu or whatever else, and in reverse, you dont want to bring back smallpox
Man, I remember the past like it was yesterday.
One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.
Anyone who would act like that couldn’t even hack it in a developing country today let alone going back in time. Remember, a dystopia is just a third-world country but with white people and that’s different because, uh, reasons.
That does kinda depend on the nature of the dystopia to be fair. Like, the ones that are just “a stratified society where the poor live in the dirt”, or “an authoritarian regime”, sure, but some dystopian fiction relies on tech that doesnt even exist to run.
Sure but that’s just a bit of colour for the world that sets the genre. The meat of it is all there regardless.
Reminds me of a YouTube video giving thorough advice on what you should do if you would ever time travel back to medieval Europe.
One of the biggest hurdles would be language. Even 50 years ago people sounded different. You go back 200, you would sound weird to the others. It would be disorienting. Might end up in jail or worse. Language is an organic thing that constantly changes.
And if you travel into the future, your shits gonna be all fucked up and people will think you talk like a fag.
this is a great video. I think you should post it in a community.
All the technology and progress in the world isn’t gonna help if yr sat on by aristocrats.
I’ll keep my organic farming and connection to nature, thanks.
Though I’d prefer to go back a few million years before humans even evolved.
Yeah, thanks, that comic was a little too black and white in 50% of the panels - acknowledging women’s rights and their role in society and abolishing child labor doesn’t mean that we did not process the shit out of food and invented the unholiest abominations as substitute for actual nourishment, or that it’s suddenly healthy to live in a concrete block after spending 10 hours in cloned cubicle #7.
Good news! With our new work from home policy you get to stay in your concrete block all day!
Also, in nomadic neolithic societies women were treated as equals. Agriculture was a trap.
Ah, so you want to travel to the only time in history where humans weren’t making life miserable for other humans?
