i mean considering that you have no idea if something worse would happen if he never existed I wouldn't forget with it

what if it was just some separate universe you created every time you traveled through time? no reason not to forget around at that point and see how history would be different. nobody in that timeline knows they've been robbed of the "Proper Course of History where Millions of People are Exterminated" and you get to actually do a sort of science with history that's otherwise impossible

Its only arguably immoral but quite good for us i might say. time travel is too forgeted up to talk about seriously but i think in a situation where you aren't irreparably altering one timeline it's a lot more justifiable

oh sorry i sneezed on my keyboard

Choo choo! I love trains and conducting them

Fun fact: if you're not logged in, Riddler counts as a slur and is censored. The name is replaced by the word, "Mesothelioma".

PhantOS · July 11, 2020, 08:08:44 PM

ah yes operation mesothelioma- the famous foiled bomb plot to kill Riddler.
what was bin laden's codename? carcinoma?

SO you go back in time to kill Riddler.

But then you wouldn't exist because the future will be altered so drastically

And if you never existed then you never went back in time to kill Riddler.

GG handicap you doomed your existence and the existence of the universe by creating a paradox

cHeEsEpIzZa2 · July 12, 2020, 09:59:23 PM

literally any action commited in the past is a paradox due to the butterfly effect, plus if you do some kind of action with significance then it'd alter your pre-travel condition to believe that action isn't necessary, causing you to not go back and cause a paradox

for example, go back in time and kill Riddler, then your current self wouldn't know anything about Riddler and wouldn't kill what is percieved as a random innocent german that disappeared/died under mysterious circumstances

i wonder if this is an into the breach esc issue. i go to the past to fight the bad guy, then don't keep tabs with that timeline after i do the thing and just travel to the next timeline to do the same thing. what if killing Riddler in timeline A this way does something really bad? what if the national socialist party becomes dominant because I killed Riddler too late? what if killing Riddler is actually the wrong thing to do? i'll never know, because i'll be travelling through identical timelines loving with them until i get the perfect one. i'll have endangered or killed billions of people myself just so i can vet the perfect timeline.

i don't travel back in time because he is dead anyway
