    If you want to go back in time, killing Hitler is not the solution! Go back in time, and kill this fucker

      Targeting John Calvin and his early followers would be a good choice as well as Calvinism is responsible for Prosperity Gospel beliefs.

      Well going abck 80 odd years and finding hitler is much easier than going back an indeterminate amount of millions and finding this exact fish.

      But I completely agree.

        If you can time travel I’m sure you can track down the only fish walking on land at that time. After that you just gotta make sure the ocean critters stay where they belong!!

          the only fish walking on land

          If that were how evolution works… maybe. Unfortunately it doesn’t, at all, so definitely not.

            The meme is usually that this single fish is responsible for every single human problem, I was just playing along with that. I don’t really think that it was only a single fish walking on land back then. Had to be exactly two, how else would they reproduce /s

              Ahh, we need an /s for deadpan. I’d use it often. I appreciate you taking the time to explain though! Sometimes, I need it 😅

    Finding Hitler isn’t the hard part of time traveling. Ideally you would need to be not too far above Earth’s surface, moving with the same speed and in the right direction - to prevent suffocation or to just leave a greasy stain.

    If you get this right, from my point of view, you earned yourself the right to applaud yourself and maybe even Hitler (I’m won’t kink shame).

      It’s sad how many people don’t get that “time” includes the relative placement of objects in space and that going back 50 years might mean Earth is in a difference physical location than yourself.

        I don’t get these arguments. If we ate talking about hypothetical scenarios when we invent time machine to go back to a particular point in time, why not assume we can also choose a particular point in space, predict where earth would be or view the space before you jump in yourself. This is just a simple comic anyway, not deep enough to talk about viability of time travel.
