Or maybe in the 1930s an ad agency invented feeding on people’s fears by overstating extremely rare or even nonexistent problems.
My brand of cereal is the only one with that rat poison free guarantee.
Excuse me, do you serve gluten free milk?
Tip 1. Cleaning your hands is easier than cleaning your ass.
Tip 2. You can wipe with wet hands.Soap is a luxury though. It is borderline free now, it’s so cheap. Back then, not so much.
Tip 3: Never shake hands with Jankatarch
Only fist bumps
Instructions unclear. Which bumps do I fist?
The only time I’d really want to travel to is the future.
If I could come back, maybe it would be cool to go back to like pangea times
I’m not sure you want to see the future. It’s looking pretty grim from current standpoint. At least if you went back in history you could pick something predictable.
Eh, I’m an optimist about the future. Not in the idea that the current system will work or anything. But I think humanity generally spirals upward. Maybe I want to skip the next 100 years or so but that’s still a pretty long time scale as far as our advancements since the industrial revolution go.
If you had the ability to find out what happens in the future, you would rather assume it’s bad and not look?
Yeah, being a pessimist means I get to be pleasantly surprised when I’m wrong.
Men yearn for the shit-sponge
In days of old when knights were bold and toilet paper wasn’t invented, they’d wipe their ass with a piece of grass and walk away contented.
They really did use cloth though
And real gentlemen re-used the grass
Just go back farther, to when they used leaves and grass.
Personally, it’s 1928, when modern antibiotics were developed.
Why not just bring some with you? Or learn how to synthesize penecilin from bread mold and really change the timeline?
The former would be a limited supply with a shelf life (even modern antibiotics go bad after a few years). The latter— synthesizing penicillin is no easy task. Even if I knew how - which I absolutely do not - it’s among the more difficult things in the world of biochemistry. It’s why Alexander Flemming earned a Nobel prize for it.
And basic penicillin is nothing compared to the antibiotics we have today.
Additionally, I’m not really very cool with altering the timeline
Is that Bumblebee Bandersnatch?
LMAO, no. This is not Benedict Cumberbatch. This is Time Agent Daniels.

The first bidets came about around 1700 and were manually filled. Indoor plumbing meant recognizable non-poo filled ones in the 1800s, but the modern toilet seat one was 1964, so keep that in mind wrt time travel.
Weird that in my language “garderoba” means “changing room.” As in clothes changing room.
residents hung their clothing in garderobe shafts specifically to rid them of fleas, using the ammonia from urine as a natural fumigant. The toilet and the wardrobe occupied the same small stone room for reasons that made complete practical sense at the time.
They didn’t have toilets in the 1950s? Surely that’s not right.
Post search: How exactly are you defining “modern toilet seat”? The ones I’m seeing from the '50s look pretty recognizable.
I was talking about bidets, not toilets.
Asbestos-free baby powder
Now with 20% less lead!
Can I have one that’s also free of powdered babies?
The powdered babies are included for free 👍
Just take your own toilet roll with you. If you get separated from your supply, you probably have bigger problems.
Maybe time travel is real but we’re still living at an age where something else is so terrible that nobody from the future wants to travel to our time.
What would that be?
There are so many options!
“they still capitalist then? Eww. I’ll wait”
As much as capitalism is a truly shit system to actually live in, I don’t think it would dissuade time travellers much because it’d make it trivially easy to live like a king with only a little knowledge of the future
I guess people from a post capitalist society might have issues with exploiting others for their own gain.
One would hope, but unless greed and the obsession with power is not in our genes there would always be people that try to exploit others. Just like there will always be others trying to end the exploitation.
Imo, better systems and fair work agreements are how we put a stop to most exploitation being acted upon.
Time Travel to the past
Cough due to allergies to future extinct flowers
Accidentally spready COVID 2089
90% of the world population dies from futuristic killer super flu
You fade from existence because you killed all your ancestors
The paradox causes space time to collapse
Don’t threaten me with a good time!
Timelines merged together to “mend and fix” these paradoxes, that’s why we ended in the Mirror-Universe equivalent. Mandela effects are just glitches from the other timeline remnants.
Dragon breaks confirmed, earth is TES canon
Maybe they didn’t come to Stephen Hawkins’ party because they found out that he was a pedo.
Even without that (or if he wasn’t, was it clear from what came out that he participated and wasn’t just another famous science guy Epstein pulled into his orbit without any kids being involved?), I can’t think of a single good reason for an actual time traveler to want to go to that party and plenty reasons to stay away from it, like it being the one party most likely to lead to someone else figuring out time travel sooner and taking control of it before you can.
Though if time travel is possible, I bet it’s the branching miltiverse scenario and we’re just in a branch where no time travelers have revealed themselves yet. In that reality, there’s no reason to avoid his party, other than not wanting to be stuck in a Q&A session with primitive humans. Like I bet any of us would get frustrated going back to the middle ages and how people interested in health won’t shut up about fucking humours, muccous, evil spirits, and shit.

For real. If we wanted to listen to that, we could just look up whatever RFK Jr’s talking about. No time machine necessary.
Or when time travelers come here we just can’t tell, because if they accidentally reveal themselves or screw up in some other way they just jump back again for a do-over until they get it right.
“Eww… I don’t want to go to the microplastics era and be contaminated! We spent forever cleaning that shit up.”
Not like the fancy grit 80 we use in public toilets today.
Bidet life yet again pays off!
How clean was the house supplied water back than? Didn’t they still boil before a bath?
They boiled before a bath because they wanted hot water, not because it was dirty. Central water heaters in lower and middle class homes are a relatively recent luxury.
They didn’t have supplied house water but they did have vinegar, squeezable containers and washable towels!
Are you confusing a bidet with an enema?
No, they are called “travel bidets”
In my day “travel bidet” was what we called a kick in the ass. Of course times were different then. They’re different now too, but not as different as they used to be.
If you do it right its an enema
Just pack for the voyage I’d say.
