    Wasn’t this a movie years ago? I think it was called “safety not guaranteed” or something like that.

    I’m going to respond to this, you’ll know I’ve successfully traveled back in time if when you’re reading this, the allies WIN world war 2 and Hitler survives until at least 1945.

    I see three, maybe four outcomes:

    • You actually do go back in time and this person’s discovered something mind blowing that you get to be a part of. You may or may not die, or you may not be the same as you were before.
    • Shrooms. You likely won’t die and you may not be the same as you were before.
    • He’s insane and is going to kill you. You will likely die and will not be the same as you were before… because you’ll be dead, or you’ll have killed someone in self defense and, if you’ve never killed before, will be a changed person. …but also if you die and time is a circle then in a way you did go back in time, but also forwards, and nowhere? You’ll be somewhere on the Jeremy Bearimy.
    • Fourth outcome is he’s not insane enough to kill you, but is also not a time traveler. Just a high energy friend who’s likely manic but also has enough money for ads and can write with good grammar.

        I’d look at it the other way. Imagine you’re a murderous psycho who puts that ad out. Someone shows up at your house after PO correspondence done with little to not trail back you. They show up armed. You shoot them in “self defense” and talk about how they had a gun blah blah blah … Accidentally left the door unlocked … Blah blah blah

      If you go to the comments, you can see that I successfully predicted that this would become a big meme back in 2005

      All I’ve seen is the trend list for that, I haven’t actually got around to watching it yet, and I have to say I have no idea what that movie is going to be about, the trailer doesn’t give any info away at all.
