Sort of similar to the Great Filter theory, but applied to time travel technology.

Basically everytime you go back it will make changes to the future in such way you don't exist thus the time machine by its very nature can never be discovered. Everyone that does immediately erases their future self from existence.

I've never been motivated to create a time machine, but you've suddenly made it extremely appealing...

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
