how about you try it and let us know

[-] AmbientChaos@sh.itjust.works 20 points 6 months ago

Clippy goes away and you are now alone in the black void. With the removal of this character the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed void you have created.

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 8 points 6 months ago

Ehh, I’ll take my chances. At worst, it’s a lateral move.

[-] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

Can I go back to the 90's instead, when my dad was still alive?

[-] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago
[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Only if you bring us with you. :-)

[-] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Do I go back as I am now or do I go back as a teenager? If I do age regress do I retain my memories?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

Man, I could do so much with that. It’s fun to think about. The whole future becomes a different place if you have those memories.

“I know you don’t believe me and you think I’m insane, but I can’t let you come back home. I allowed us to come this far so my daughter would be born. She has the same name, but they aren’t the same person. A different sperm made it to the egg or something. I have no photos to prove it, but I have 15 years of memories. If you come home this kid will experience trauma that I’m certain of. You won’t be happy. You won’t get it together. Not here. Your mom will make you get it together so stay there. That lump in your breast won’t be cancer. You’ll be surprised by the other breast and you won’t even be paying attention because this isn’t malignant. Get regular checkups.”

I’d go through all of that and then, bam, she gets hit by a bus at 24 because she wasn’t in our personal hell haha.

Of all the things that could have happened, we got what we got.

I am not at all where I hoped I’d be, but I’m exactly where I want to be. Any small change could destroy that.

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago

Me personally, I'd buy Amazon stock and the sit on the couch for a few years

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

No time travel goes unpunished.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

All the lottery numbers will be different.

[-] can@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

D—Did this happen to you?

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Well, not the time travel part, but the rest of it yeah. Or…the part of it that isn’t fiction where I think about changes I could make.

I ended up in a relationship with my childhood best friend. It fell apart. She died 3 years later from cancer. Our kid has been through the wringer.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Not if Clippy's still there.

[-] shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

shh he’s listening

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 14 points 6 months ago

Back when I still had the memory of being happy? Hell yeah!

[-] RedIce25@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I mean, what have I got to lose?

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

You go back to the year 2000, but no one else does and you appear to be batshit insane to those around you as a result

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Yeah but:

  1. Mine bitcoin in 2009 with your PC.

  2. Become world's first trillionaire and now it doesn't matter what anyone thinks.

[-] Aielman15@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What if those who mined BC in 2009 were people who travelled back in time?

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

I was thinking more dementia

[-] shootwhatsmyname@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

so yeah pretty much nothing @RedIce25@lemmy.world

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 6 points 6 months ago

Send me back to the early '60s so I can relive some great music and then die before 9/11

[-] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 6 points 6 months ago

Depends. Do I go as myself? Do I become a kid/teen again? Does the entire world reverse or am I the only time traveller?

Different answers for all scenarios.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Go back to when the world was slightly less shitty while I am fully aware of how much worse its gonna get.

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

If it's like literally Jan 1 2000 you could go take out Roger Stone and pals. Stop the fake outrage about the election recount. Gore wins Florida. Lots of bad shit the Neocons kicked off never happens.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 2 points 6 months ago

Alternate history is messy. Look at all the speculative stories of how time travelers going back to get Hitler end up making a worse future for various reasons. Hitler is likely to have protection by the time police from time traveling "heroes" because so many think this is an easy fix.

If I could bring back a few books worth of printed paper (in sleeves to keep them safe with a ton of different notes and a bunch of code written down, you bet I'd go back so that way I could alter the history of the internet.

[-] cloudless@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

What if Clippy is powered by ChatGPT?

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 11 points 6 months ago

Now I want a comic of someone pulling off ChatGPTs mask and underneath it's really clippy.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I am positive ive seen that actually...

[-] farfarawaay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

And he would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those darn meddling Seraphs

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

More than anything
