The worry is not that you can change the future, it’s that you can’t predict what large change your small action will make. Be careful, literally anything you do might doom the human race!
I may have doomed humanity by choosing to smoke this fat spliff and not engage with it outside of the small subset who are on Lemmy
Your comment reminds me of the song Small Circle of Friends by Phil Ochs
Right there with you. I feel like I’ve somehow made a positive change.
Same as now
This is a brilliant observation.
Y'know how we view strangers as 'props' in our own story? That's precisely how we are viewed by them. You aren't important in the grand scheme of things so go out there and live the life you want. No one cares. No one is stopping you either

I'm sorry, what? No, I don't know about that.

Whassat feeling called again? S something. (Looks it up) Sonder!
I think usually this is also portrayed mostly when people go back 63 million years, not when they went back 20.
Idk man, Marty Mcfly just kissed his mother and ended up uninventing himself.
Yeah, I think that kind of shows how easily small things affect personal relationships. Something like deciding to go to a party can cause you to meet your spouse, fall in love, and have kids, grandkids, etc.
Big events like starting a war or who ends up in charge of a country would be harder to affect. But yeah, you could easily fuck up a family or cause yourself not to exist.
This makes me realize that even time travelers can't change much.
If i knew the future, i could!
