ship Report

While some might argue that memes have gotten “weirder” over the years, if you take a trip back in time and go through the internet of the '90s and early 2000s, you’ll find that things were already a tad strange, unusual, and niche. Dancing animals, the often incomprehensible-to-outsiders rage comics, and inside jokes on top of inside jokes. 

The truth is, the speed and ease of use the internet brings allows basically every community with a common language (or even concepts) to create and share memes among itself. This is why every demographic, fandom, and profession has a meme page just for it.

Sure, but if I had the ability to time travel, I'd also have the ability to apparate at say, a Nurenburg rally, take a shot, and disapparate out. So how do I go to a political rally these days and manage to *end* certain politicians????

Sad thing is that we have the ability and the means to change a lot of things, but that wouldn't be in the interest of the corporations that run the world

That is because most of us would be paralyzed by thinking that every little decision we make could have monumental consequences on an unknown future. With no way to know if the results would be positive or negative every step you took would be like walking through a minefield. Talk about anxiety provocation. Thanks but no thanks.

But one kindness, or one act of paying it forward, for example, can make a world of difference, even if just to one other person.

There a thousand small decisions you make every week that don't amount anything. You have to know the future to change it in a meaningful way.

There was a homeless man outside of work one night in a midwest city when I was leaving. He asked for a few dollars. I got to talking with him, and he was hoping to enter an addiction recovery program. But he couldn't without a copy of his birth certificate. All he knew was he was born in Georgia. I googled and wrote down the phone number he needed to call in Atlanta, and a copy of a birth certificate cost something like $20. I gave him the money, plus a few dollars more for the call, and my business card, and I thought no more about it. A few months later I got a letter. He was able to get a room at the shelter and a spot in their recovery program. He was doing so well he was on track for their program to become a counselor to other addicts. A few months later, I got a letter: he was a counselor, off the streets, with a permanent birth to live at the shelter. Now you might do something kind, and 9 out of 10 times, nothing important comes of it. But that one time, whoof.

And people never consider that if going back in time was a possibility, in one year, the Earth travels about 584 million miles, the galaxy is also traveling. So the time machine would dump you out in the middle of space. It would not only have to travel in time, but also be able to travel in actual space and be able to track the earth's location in time.

maybe you stay put relative to your immediate surroundings but not to, idk, some objective(??) frame of reference in the ever-expanding universe. we don’t fall off the earth as time passes, so why would we basically fall off going backwards in time?

If I time travel to the past I'm going to break the rules and change every little random thing I can. Whatever I return to in the present HAS to be better than what we're living in now...

I think about how I would end all of society because I've been vaccinated for many illnesses people in the medieval times never heard of. Imagine bring COVID to King Henry VIII

The funny thing is, the person who wrote that probably spends most of their time sitting at a computer.

The small innocent thing you do now could be the cause of the dystopian nightmare in the future. You may be the one they must stop.

Or maybe just the fact that if you travel to the past then there was another version of you that also traveled to the past so it wouldn’t change anything so you could do literally anything at all and it would still be the same because that would mean it has happened before.

I think about that all the time actually. It's better to be kind, because you don't know what other people are going through, and a small act can create a ripple to something bigger.

Yeah, but the point is that you don't know the change. Either way, it could be a huge negative.

Absolutely. And it doesn't even have to be a New Year's resolution. I have set myself challenges that every month I have to watch one documentary. Or how many different genres of movies I can watch in a year. Different music styles, food culture of different countries, etc. A month when I dedicate myself to the history of art, architecture... The possibilities are endless and at the same time you learn something new.

I am sorry but I seriously can't wrap my head around the fact that people can't built the IKEA furniture... It is so so easy with step by step instructions, pictures.... How can someone fail at this.. (no need to answer. I seriously lack the imagination of not understanding too put part A to Part A....)

I pick up accents quite fast, my English accent is from watching Morse about a hundred times, my french accent is that of a Marseillan dock workers as I spent a year working in a shipyard at Marseille at 18. I did get a slight Irish accent at one point when I was dating a Irish man, but a few episodes of Morse made it go away again.

As a parent of an adult who is neurodivergent, I always wondered if organizations ever consulted with people who were neurodivergent on doing this if it would affect them in any negative way like it did this one individual. My daughter used to always ask me if we could please turn off the porch lights for the people who put blue bulbs in.

My son has speech and language issues and can barely have a conversation. He did teach himself to count to 100 in Japanese though. Which was a nice surprise
