Started as a shower thought (literally in the shower), but decided to make it more open-ended.
My answer to this would be “watch future seasons of anime that I am waiting on”.
I don’t see how that could cause a huge ripple through time.
Rewind the last 15 seconds of a meal to enjoy the last bite again.
Wow. Great idea! You get to enjoy a great meal again, but without getting overfull
Thank you! I think the same idea could be applied to any short, fleeting moment where you’d take no different action, like an enjoyable sunset or a sweet smell, though being able to experience those again and again may diminish their value.
That would just affect you, though, not the timeline as a whole.
rewind 5 seconds orgasm
Going back a few hours and getting some more sleep sounds nice
A full night’s sleep every night does sound good. I wonder what that’s like.
Yeah, instead of moving the alarm clock 15 minutes every time it rings, just jump back in time 15 minutes.
Adequate sleep and infinite gym time would make my life so much better.
Let’s just say no one’s noticed anything yet
I wrote a novel where in future people time travel back in time to watch movies in the theater like the original Star Wars. It’s book one of a series.
It’s book one of a series.
So naturally it’s called part IV, right?
Lol that’s nice idea but don’t think it work.
Instead of rewinding the video, just rewind causality.
And when you skip ads you really skip ads.
Future time travellers going back in time to the moment the first time machine was invented to figure out how that one worked because in the future theirs suck and are locked down to prevent abuse.
Time travel to 12 hours ago so I can get more sleep
It’d feel too weird sleeping with myself, which would result in lower quality sleep, requiring another trip back in time for more sleep, which would put more people in my bed…
Going forward three days to when it’s $2 beer night at the bar.
He said unimportant not financially responsible. Either way be sure to fast and sell plasma, so you have the needed cash and get the most effect from the blue ribbons.
Cheap and easy food storage.
Make a dozen extra servings of whatever I’m cooking and just leave it in the pot on the stove. When I’m hungry in the future I’ll come back and serve myself up another bowl. When I take the last serving, I leave a note saying when I came from so I know to prepare another batch by then.
Anthropology while cloaked, as the Temporal Prime Directive requires
Just send a GoPro disguised as something else to record history.
Bro, it’s a GoPro. You’ll get 20 minutes of 1080p footage and then the battery will die.
We are all travelling through time right now with very little impact.
Yes I know, I suck.
Go back in time and prevent your time machine from working.
Nice tight little loop. Minimal interference, hopefully.
You’re evil. I approve!
By doing it in the vastness of empty space.
I am seeing this comment right after I finished ‘Life is Strange’…
Tap for spoiler
I think I will stay away from time travel for now
Traveling a second back in time to scratch that itch before it even happens. Maybe going back in time to tell yourself not to order that taco bell. Skipping forward in time to skip a hot pocket cooking in the microwave. Traveling a couple of minutes into the future to skip a boring conversation with the officer that pulled you over.
Here’s the real question, if it’s possible to time travel isn’t it just part of the timeline even if it doesn’t seem like it. If you could traverse forward and backwards in time like a tape deck isn’t it already laid out including all of the time traveling you’ll ever do.
Oh wow, skipping a microwaving hot pocket just reminded me of the movie Click and how SPOILERS FOR CLICK it just adapts and starts fast forwarding through shit it doesn’t think he wants to see until he realizes he misses those things
I like the idea of someone traveling through time like the Terminator for mundain things like this. Always ending up naked, leaving scorch marks everywhere, and just casually doing it in front of people without any warning.
Traveling a few minutes into the future to skip a boring conversation with the office that pulled you over
Skips time … Cuffed on the floor
Or you travel through time like the Terminator. You find yourself completely naked with the cop having an existential crisis as he questions if any of this is real and the smell of bacon fills the air.
Doing it in the style of a Connie Willis novel?
Or like the comic-book Flash instead of the current-day MCU Avengers team post Endgame?
The Avengers tampered with time for corporate reasons, but I think the Flash understands time.
As for the Connie Willis novels, think like Black Out or Doomsday Book, those that I’ve read.
