I was recently discussing hypothetical scenarios with people. sort of philosophical decisions but fun that they're not like boring or convoluted or whatever but sort of sharing something about your outlook on life.
I wanted to see peoples thoughts including opinions on oral sex, and any questions you may have as well :)


Let's say you had a time travel device, and you either had the option of taking inanimate objects fitting in a 5x5x5 m volume back with you to live at any point anywhere in time, or to visit any point in time and bring the same volume back with you (and you can't for instance bring a camera back to take pictures, but you can get or make one from materials at that time, and if you want to bring items back you can get whatever you want as long as it fits) where would you go? Would you take items back and live out at a different time with the advantages the items bring, or would you bring items to reveal lost secrets from the past or get rich or bring items that you would love to own?

I'd stuff the OP in the 5x5x5 box, then bring him back to the night his dad raped his mom and say "is this really what you guys want to happen? And then pull OP out."

This would prevent the rape and I would be a hero and this thread would have never happened.

Let's say the past thousand generations of women in your family have been really hot and horny in their twenties, and you have a time travel device. How far back would you have to go before you were comfortable loving one of them? Great grandma? Great Grandma's Great Grandma? grandma?

If you're into men, then I guess reverse the question.

Also to the OP, I would bring a gun, leave the gun there, and then use the gun to kill anyone guarding some priceless artifact for me to bring back and sell.

You can bring a camera with you but only one way. Its either pick up items from the time in the past to bring back to the present or take present day things to live in the past

That's a good hypothetical, I don't think I could ever gently caress somebody in my direct lineage but like 30th cousin maybe?

And you can bring back whatever you want no need to bring a gun to steal it for the hypothetical. What artifacts would you take, what would you do with them?

For a way to get money and influence and bitches id go back with a super fly bulletproof car and other protective gear and like rent it out to like rappers and other high profile assassination victims (id also bring clippings and vhses of news reports about their murders and other events to show I didn't fabricate it or was trying to extort them)

The thing is, have you ever heard of a person claiming to be a time traveler that wasn't immediately locked up in the loony bin? If you do go back in time, you can't tell anybody where/when you are actually from because they won't believe you. Even if you bring a smartphone or something, it will be taken away from you and destroyed and you'll be locked up forever. Even if you go back to like, 2010 or something. And what fun can you really have if people won't accept you as their god??

I would go back to the 1940's and ensure all life ends on this dead gay earth.

Maybe hit up some cool music places before the earth gains a nice radioactive glow.

Otherwise the whole concept of time travel atleast, backwards time travel is functionally impossible, the fundamental principles of how time works is that it is only a measure of the actions of things within a given space. Some slower somefaster than others. Going forward in time faster is possible but I do not think going back is, simply due to the fact even canceling out the paradoxes, there would be far too much progress if the wrong directions if we were not careful.

Better hypothetical question, is if you could change any function of reality such that it could still work without the interference of other physical laws, what would it be? I'd go for the rules about conservation of energy and mass. So that fat people could never slow down.

That's a part to be considered of course, if you choose to live in the past you'll need to be careful about how you expose your knowledge, and maybe need to find the more superstitious or open minded contacts (you can rob them blind or just soak in the experience per the rules if you just want to visit but like you won't be harassed and you can't leave anything or cause influence except by making the objects disappear)
