Casual Thought There is a non-zero chance humans may have already gone back in time to keep humanity from suffering worse historical and current events than we already have, and this is actually the brightest timeline.

So have I technically time travelled by being born and then by eventually dying?

u/Bipogram 2d ago

Yup. Most folk do the latter after the former.

The trick.is to be the first to do it the other way around.

Die inside the womb and get revived right after birth. Set for (the rest of) life.

Lmao okay but real talk… if this is the brightest timeline, I don’t even wanna peep the drafts.

It's amusing at first thought but when would be 100% relevant, if it were invented after my death it's almost certain I'd never get to use it.

If it's invented In the future that doesn't mean they'd give that technology to those of us in the past

Anyway time travel is somewhat technically possible but only in the forward direction!
