I have reported these simplistic interpretations to the Time Council High Minister, who is currently seeding speculative fiction throughout your era to allow for this thread to better understand the subtleties of time travel. We've given the creators ridiculous names like Audrey Niffinegger, Hiroshimi Tanaka, and Connie Willis, but I trust that their work will be consumed, understood, and enhance these simplistic "Replaced by another Hitler" or "We would already know because the timeline would have changed" responses.

tbh I would go back and rig 1976 in favour of Ford, or if I couldn't do that I'd let him know not to do the Eastern Europe poo poo

Go back in time, kill Hitler, take his place, then fund a bunch of expeditions to look for lost artifacts. If you don't find any, then you will lose the war. If you do find some, then you can recreate Wolfenstein.

Go back in time, kill Hitler, take his place, then proceed to engage in a number of military and strategic blunders than the real history where Hitler conquered the world never takes place and replace it with one where he never invades England and Moscow never falls. But you have to disguise it as just being a crazy loon otherwise people will get suspicious.

zVxTeflon posted:Even if it ends up destroying us and our timeline in the process? To be sure to fix the problem, you need to also execute a whole bunch of other nazis, and all the people who agreed to putting Hitler in as Chancellor int he first place in the crooked dealings of the anti-democratic conservative clique at the end of Weimar Germany. And to be honest, with them gone, Actual Hitler has a lot harder time getting into power at all. He ends being some whiny minor party leader forever. That's one fascist 20th century country fixed, but you still need to fix Austria, and Spain, and Italy, and Hungary, and Greece, and well there's a lotta dudes you need to kill.

Go back and kill Stalin, Kamenev, Zinoviev and Trotsky after the October Revolution. Give Lenin some blood thinners before the second stroke.

It required a monster such as Hitler to break the liberal democracies from their implicit alliance with European fascism. A titanic war was required to solidify it's defeat before the invention of nuclear weapons. This is all thanks to the heroics of the Time Chekists of the World Socialist Order 2099.

I'd take my time traveling phone booth back to pick up Carl Sagan circa the early 80's then we'd smoke a joint and go crash Steven Hawking's party. And then when we're drunk enough we'd probably go back and take a swing at killing Hitler.

You should fix 80s/90s fashion, boost beta max over vhs, slip Betsy Ross some way sweeter flag designs, and steal the jelly beans out of Reagan's hand every time he tries to eat some from January 3rd 1979 - December 26th 1990. Also prepare a "Blow your mind" video for every world/revolutionary leader who was in power from 1500 - 1980 and show it to them just before they died. On topic, it's rather tricky to show it to Hitler as you have to yank him out of the timeline milliseconds after he pulls the trigger and shove him back into the timeline within a few millisecond window.

Absolutely not, Betamax was bad. The rumors you always hear that it was higher quality are from people who assume that since Betacam (a professional grade, quite expensive, analog tape format in a similar form factor but completely incompatible) was good, Betamax must have been too. Betamax and VHS have identical quality, but Betamax always recorded less.
