We need a time travel machine to go back in time and kill hitler!

There are plenty of authoritarian people ruining the planet and committing genocide right now. Why not do something about it if you're so gung ho?

I don't need a time machine to change the future. I need a space machine so I can appear next to the current Hitler so I can kill him.

it's called transport

Ok now I want to start randomly calling vehicles "space machines"

Because the present will judge me harshly for it. And I ended the future that would be the most grateful for my present actions! Don't you understand?

I have worrying news about that Adolf guy.

Turns out having bodyguards for people who run countries was an idea they also had back in the day.

You're kidding, right? The time travel fantasy is to kill him as a baby.

[–] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

One theory could be that Fascists who idolize Hitler and the authoritarians take over when time travel is invented, so they don't want to kill Hitler and that's why he lived during our timeline.

Dun dun duuuun.
