          Dude…we’re a few days away from trump having a too close to call election in which he’s made open statements about being a facist dictator if elected.

          The price of food now requires a second mortgage. Mortgages that millenials don’t have, because they could never have a house.

          4 years ago MURDER HORNETS migrated to America, and it wasn’t even in the top 10 of our worst problems in 2020.

          What part of ANY of this makes you think we’re in the GOOD timeline???

      I’m assuming that they’re Bluetooth, as if they were wired, the problem couldn’t really come up.

      If they’re still paired to a device, crank the volume up and try playing something loud enough that you can hear it.

      For Bluetooth devices that are powered on and responding to queries for nearby Bluetooth devices, you can also try asking a device that can pair with Bluetooth devices and show signal strength, like a laptop, to query for nearby devices, can kind of use to “home in” on the device.

    Very few time travel stories every address this and other detriments to the past. For most of history, the past has been a pretty horrible place compared to today unless you are rich and usually male. Even you are those, you don’t have to go far back to be victims of disease or injury commonly cured today. Depending on what part of the world you are in, and how far you are going back, your skin color, spoken language, or physical features may also put you in a world of hurt.

    We still have a long way to go to be better, but as crazy as it seems, right now, is a really really good time for most of us compared to most of history with regard to freedom and health.

      disease might be a particular issue beyond just that. Last thing you want is to give the past COVID or modern strains of the flu or whatever else, and in reverse, you dont want to bring back smallpox

      The only way I want to time travel is like…looking through a window to watch it.

      Actually being there???

      Fuck that, I like being alive and not not alive.

    One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.

    Anyone who would act like that couldn’t even hack it in a developing country today let alone going back in time. Remember, a dystopia is just a third-world country but with white people and that’s different because, uh, reasons.

      That does kinda depend on the nature of the dystopia to be fair. Like, the ones that are just “a stratified society where the poor live in the dirt”, or “an authoritarian regime”, sure, but some dystopian fiction relies on tech that doesnt even exist to run.

    I’ll keep my organic farming and connection to nature, thanks.

    Though I’d prefer to go back a few million years before humans even evolved.

      Yeah, thanks, that comic was a little too black and white in 50% of the panels - acknowledging women’s rights and their role in society and abolishing child labor doesn’t mean that we did not process the shit out of food and invented the unholiest abominations as substitute for actual nourishment, or that it’s suddenly healthy to live in a concrete block after spending 10 hours in cloned cubicle #7.

        Good news! With our new work from home policy you get to stay in your concrete block all day!

        Also, in nomadic neolithic societies women were treated as equals. Agriculture was a trap.

      Ah, so you want to travel to the only time in history where humans weren’t making life miserable for other humans?
