Also it's kinda depressing to think about how I'll equipped the average person would be for time travel. Let's say you go back to the peak of Egyptian rule. You have your cell phone, watch, and ear pods. You wouldn't be able to explain how any of it works lmao. Nor could you really give them any real historical information outside of vague shyt you remember from movies or history ("one year, the Romans are gonna burn your library fam so watch out").

The most impressive thing you could probably do is draw a world map, and most people would fukk that up too lmao. The Egyptian scientists would likely think you're retarded.
:francis:
good point . how many world events could we really prevent if we went back? like you said most people would prolly look at you like you’re crazy if you start showing off your technology and talking vaguely about future events. and depending on the time period and which civilization you chose to go to, you could end up burned at the stake for being a warlock/witch, your head on a pike, or put into a mental institution.
I bet that they find out time is like a force of nature and heals itself
You can chance certain aspects but everything slowly reverts back to what it was.

Time travel would be the fukking worst. Not only could you probably not communicate very well depending on how far back you went, but you would also likely discover how incomplete our knowledge of the past is save for the immediate past. You would need a cocktail of immunizations just to not die from the bevy of disease and bacteria that our modern, frail immune systems no longer have immunity to. Forget about eating the food or even drinking the water; likely you'd die of some forgotten intestinal parasite or die from drinking what passed as "freshwater." The fukking smells alone would probably have you saying back to the ship. You would literally smell major cities miles out and depending on how far back you went, the hygiene of most of the planet would make a modern day bum look like the picture of health and cleanliness. Plus, I doubt History would even give a fukk that you are "temporally "of place. To quote some dead white guy "Now, my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose…"

Now that I think about it


This individual wouldn't be able to interact with us anyway because it would go against any time travel prime directive we may have in the future


Can't interfere or cause a change in the timeline
