Guess he's gotta get warmed up first.
nah, here's actually something controversial/stupid

even if you could go back in time to change something, it doesn't matter

you want to go tell your past self to improve? hell nah, your young self knows only defiance and your teen self is stuck having fun/on the verge of collapse to care about your tips

you wanna go kill hitler, it doesn't matter, nazism could pop up again, just maybe under a different name/leader

you wanna just move a chair? sure, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter too

(this is probably full of holes)

never liked yuri cause my first thought is: damn I wanna fuck that girl back into being straight.
unfortunately, saying that is not socially acceptable.
edit: y'all lost it the moment someone said something actually controvertial

Yup, probably full of holes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
"The timeline" may very well be a chaotic system where the slightest change in some starting conditions can lead to wildly different outcomes.

Another way of saying this is that it's easier to imagine that timelines are naturally chaotic instead of resilient to change.

always assume your argument is stupid until proven that it's genius

Conversely, there is a school of thought that says that if time travel were possible, our universe is still a closed loop and everything that someone went back to change already got changed... meaning that if you go back to kill Hitler or save JFK, something prevents you from doing so (and, in fact, already prevented you from doing so in our universe).

Theres also a theory that changing anything would create a parallel universe at the point you altered the original timeline. 🤔🤓

Yup, it's just that IMO it's a lot easier to imagine timelines being chaotic instead of resilient (why is it resilient? how is it resilient? why is one timeline preferred over another? can this preference be changed? why or why not? sooo many questions). Not to mention the fatalistic worldview seems to often lead to less-than-useful ways of thinking, including depression, feelings of helplessness, impending doom etc. -- so in the face of lack of evidence in either direction, I'd rather the "anything's possible" worldview.
