Slight Amendment (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 03:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I realized after writing this that if I go back in time after dropping someone else off, I will in effect be going back to a time before I took someone else on their journey and will have to pick them up once again. So, here is how we are going to work this. Depending on who responds first, that will be the 12 noon appointment and I will meet the next person at 1 pm and the one after that at 2 pm and so on until all people have been transported. If that goes into the next day, so be it. The reason I mentioned that I can take any number of people even though I am taking you all at different times is that some of you might be travelling with a loved one or even an entire family and if that be the case, fine, I have plenty of room in the time travel machine. If you have a really, really, really large family, please let me know how large in case there are so many that it takes more than one trip and I can do that too. I can cram quite a few in the machine though at once, so it probably won't even be an issue. |

Considering Paradoxes (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You have an interesting point, however, up until now, I have never done this exact thing. I have certainly travelled through time myself, so I have encountered various scenarios that went in to my original instructions. The thing I didn't think out exactly is how to come back and grab each person after dropping each person without erasing the fact that I just did it at the same time. That had not occurred to me since originally, I was trying to figure out how to get everyone to meet at the same Walmart. Of course, it makes no sense to make you all travel to a single Walmart. You live all over the place. How inconvenient. Whereas, I can program my time travel machine to go to not only a certain time, but also a general location. The machine literally looks like a huge recreational vehicle, top of the line, brand new. It did not originally look that way but I hollowed out an RV and placed it in the back half and then placed metal markers around the entire perimeter and programmed the device to take everything inside of itself plus everything inside the metal markers, which includes the entire recreational vehicle. In order to ensure the electric field it generates doesn't short out on the RV, I have every single piece of metal in the RV connected to a powerful magnet that I turn on prior to departure and that draws all the arcing to a single point that I have routed back into the main ground for the unit. The entire thing sucks power right out of the ionosphere using a lightning rod that extends up and I put a charge on it that pulls lightning right in to the system. The amount of power necessary to travel through time is not as much as is found in a bolt of lightning, so I shoot the excess energy I don't need into a grounding rod array that comes out the bottom and attaches to the ground. In this way, I can drive the device from one place to another. Also, the RV runs on electricity like a Tesla, so I can charge it up on electricity every time I depart and the vehicle batteries for driving are tip top. You would probably not know that it isn't a regular RV to look at it. I made sure that it blends in with today's models. However, when I drop you off in the past, I have to split in a hurry since they didn't have RV's this nice back then and I wouldn't be able to explain that to anyone that noticed it. |

Convincing America (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I really don't have the pull to go back and convince America not to join World War 2. I am just a regular looking person with no connections to anyone. Nobody in charge would do what I say and if they knew I have a time machine, they would try to take it from me and I can't have that. Speaking of which, if any of you try to take the time machine, that would not work because I have enough security measures in place that if I don't report back to the system in time, it will take whoever tried to steal it on a trajectory deep inside the earth where it is very hot and under pressure which would collapse and crush the machine and everyone inside of it. You have to have fail safe measures just in case. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There really is no risk here folks. At the most, you are risking taking a trip to your local Walmart. What is the worst that could happen? If this is all fake, then I couldn't possibly travel to Walmart all over the place in such a short time so that means you would be safe from any nut plus nobody would suspect you of not being just any other random person near a Walmart since there are so many people who do just that anyway all the time. Might as well take a chance and go back one week into the past and play the lottery for example. Then you can be super rich and move to Fiji with all the money and retire. Or, go back thousands of years and see Jesus of Nazareth... Or go forward hundreds of years and see if it got any better or just got worse...satiate your dying curiousity. |

Come on...seriously? (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I come on here and write loads of great stories on here for you all to engage in a little break from doom and enjoy, folks ask me to keep writing and they enjoyed it and when I do, basically, I get the middle finger. Come on, I'm offering you a chance to travel through time. If you don't believe me, then throw some paradoxical argument at me and test my skills at solving your puzzles; make the story grow a bit and together, we will save the world with science fiction... Or, go science fact and take a trip on my time machine if you prefer...it's up to you...I am here both to entertain and also to provide adventure and escapism. So, what other cities and nicknames? Who wants to travel through time and when do you want to go to? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79692583 United States 04/21/2021 04:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why could we not give you past time and locations we were at, so you could pick up our former selves, and give us a better alternative life...

The coors guy (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love it, that's exactly what I am talking about... I would love to go back in time and pick you up when you were in 2004, however, I am running into an issue with consent and free will. If I were to travel back to 2004 and offer to Caspar or whoever and he refuses me, I can't kidnap the guy because he has not given me consent. Technically, the future you who gave consent doesn't even exist yet. However, if the present you wants to go back and convince the old you to go to another date, that will effect the time continuum in such a way as to make it so that you were never possibly at GLP right now when you change your history in that way and as a result, none of it would end up taking place at all and where would that leave me...in some kind of a paradox where I never left with you in the first place and we never even had this conversation. Since we are having this conversation, it is apparent that you never decide to go back to the younger you and convince him to alter your timeline such that you aren't at GLP right now, so I can assume that you either want to go somewhen else or not at all, so which is it? |

Silver Chain (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No problem with blue shirts so long as they don't have a bunch of metal on them. Picking up someone who is at a Coors location implies the person also might have to pee and in 2004 they did not have RV's that look as up to date as mine, so those are two issues. People who travel through time need to go potty first and how am I going to explain that to him? And the RV would attract too much attention in 2004. The present at a Walmart, I will blend right in. Like I said, as soon as I go back in time, I have to split again real fast so as not to attract too much attention. |
ElGordo 2021 (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not sure what that is exactly -- the lottery results from ElGordo. I can take a person back and they can play the lottery themselves but I am not going to go back in time in this RV and hang out long enough to play the lottery myself. I will stand out for another reason. When I arrive in the past, I will literally just appear. Anybody watching will see an RV appear out of nowhere. For that reason, I have to drop the person or people off really quick and drive off, around a corner or two and depart again before anybody is the wiser. I have a system for being stealthy and have to stick to it. A lot of people have cell phones now and like to record weird shit, so I have to not attract any more attention than possible. |
Money (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For me, I don't need to play the lottery. Having a time machine is all I need. My electricity is free and everything I need runs on electricity. Food isn't an issue when you can disappear. I can eat and run anywhere and disappear and nobody will ever find me because I don't exist in that time anymore. Money is irrelevant when you have your own time machine. |

If there is no Walmart (OP) User ID: 41756627 United States 04/21/2021 04:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some of you might live in locations with no Walmart. That's fine. Name your town, country and I will get on the web and find a suitable location in your area. It has to be an area big enough for the RV basically and somewhere I can locate with enough room to drive there from the surrounding area. |

If I told you that horrible things were about to happen, then you would want to know more... I can't tell you the future, besides, some of you might go back in the past and change the future and then whatever I said would no longer apply. |

I came to help, in my own small way. Thank you for the kind offer to travel in time, but I must decline. Thank you, though! Things truly are about to become dark. This isn't the "darkest timeline" but it's on the same branch. Still, if we don't stand and fight, as best we can, things will be far worse here. Thanks again. |
