Dirty Machines: The End of History
Directed by David Matthew Olson
www.dirtymachi...
"Okay…okay…I’ll admit it…I’m a certified time travel movie junky. So, purely in premise alone, Dirty Machines: The End of History from filmmaker/creative virtuoso David Matthew Olson is like cinematic catnip for me. It’s a highly polished sci-fi teaser for a longer form series that envisions a future where time travel has become a form of tourism. And, while “time travel as tourism” has been done before (the very bad adaptation of Michael Crichton’s Timeline comes to mind), Olson’s project feels decidedly different. For one, it’s stylish as hell (more on that later), but beyond the undeniable aesthetic panache, Olson’s film feels completely transformative as a world-building exercise. It’s a perfect example of how to tease a longer form project but also create something that is satisfying in and of itself via an instantly compelling premise and defined cinematic world.
Everybody knows that all time travel films need rules. Olson circumvents the “diagrams with straws” moment via a clever narrative device: a museum walk-through/podcast that provides helpful narration for our time-hopping tourist protagonist as he witnesses the creation of time travel. Of course, things don’t go to plan, and we quickly learn that there are more nefarious things at play here. The disembodied narrator reminds us that the past cannot be changed. But, why exactly is that? How is the future able to preserve the present?
The film hooks you immediately with a stellar opening tracking shot, backed by nerve-racking, dissonant strings. What follows is a slow and steady burn of rising tension, anxious and compelling. As an internet short film curator, I’m always trying to tell viewers to stick with a film…to let it reward you for your patience. The End of History is the opposite sort of thing where it engrosses immediately and never really lets you go. It helps that it’s so beautifully shot. The aforementioned opening tracking shot isn’t the only bit of eye candy. The film is sumptuously photographed by Chris Darnell (shot on location at the Kungsträdgården underground station in Stockholm, Sweden) and slickly art designed-from the distinct color choices to the costumes. As a teaser for a larger universe, there’s no denying the visual appeal.
As Olson cheekily explains to Short of the Week:
The End of History serves as a teaser/pilot for the intellectual property “Dirty Machines” to pitch the series in hopes of creating a new mega-franchise à la Game of Thrones / Star Wars but about time travel and arthouse and woke and won’t go to shit for a cash grab in the end.”
Already Staff Picked on Vimeo, Olson hopes The End of History is able to garner interest in his developing Dirty Machines universe. We hope so too. More time paradoxes, please!" - S/W Curator, Ivan Kander

Watched this, nice addition 😊
Just remember, "If time travel will ever be possible, it already is." --Vitanaut
If consciousness creates physical reality rather than the other way around, time travel already is possible with humans, as we can imagine a future and realize this already. The limits to which we can do this define the limits of time travel into the future by effecting the future. Visualizing yourself picking up a glass of water and successfully doing that is a form of time travel....and its probably a continuum from that to what you see here, although their may at some point be a hard limit. Going into the past is also possible with books and stories, and probably with future simulation technologiest that will not be discernible from the real thing...if there really is a real thing.
It hasn't been discovered, because we're good at not causing paradoxes.
@@JWSmythe There is an argument that with multiple universe theory there is no paradox. If you go back from your present and kill your grandmother before your mother was born then in that universe you will never be born but you were in the universe you came from. This is not a paradox just yet another universe
Um, yup.
@@ubermench1000
Indeed, that is Time Travel 101: Time travel is not a D, it's a N.
I like the possibly sinister undertones of the time-travel crew. The black guy states that others had thrown the woman in front of the train -- leaving us to believe that at least a small fraction of people highly dislike that woman for having created time-travel. Then, we later see that if they suspect you of being a risk (or know you are due to seeing all time-lines) they will, at bare minimum, put you in an unconscious state and leave you on the floor. At worst, possibly kill you. Leading us to believe that there is something sinister in the future ... possibly a BAD time-line being created due to time-travel even being created. Fascinating concept.
not really; if he had been 'flagged as a risk' why allow him to go back in the 1st place? i didn't know chris hayes was moonlighting as a journeyman actor...& what's up with that vacuum?! you would think DYSON would have captured the market-share by then. LOVE that little dachshund!!!! but all in all this was top-shelf goofy fun; i'm still working it out with straws...🤖📅. from ancient egypt to 2019...hurm.
baba galacticus I also enjoyed the doggie
@@Annamarie40985 great minds think alike 🦝🤔🦊☻🍻
I assume someone used time travel to change the past in a way that befits him (like a politician going back to win an election he originally lost), then outlawed any changes to the timeline (which means only certain pleasure trips are allowed) to prevent anyone else from undoing it.
Still one would assume it'd be easier to outlaw time travel altogether to prevent even the remote possibility of changing the past by accident (the guy could've just sneezed as he was looking over her shoulder).
And not letting people travel to the one point that is guaranteed to destroy the whole construct if interfered with.
The book delves into this as well and I like how they leave the idea open.
I was waiting for him to trip over the dog leash and inadvertantly cause a paradox that wiped them all from future existence.
i was waiting 4 little schatze 2 bite his ankle causing him 2 trip, fall in front of the next train & thus cause a time-quake". 🙈

Yup, me too
I thought he would step on the dog at least
It's that darn shrill music
Given that the end headlining at the bottom states "All rights reserved. All wrongs reversed" indicates to me that the company in question running the time travel machine keep an eye on activities undertaken during visits by people and anyone creating a paradox or doing wrong, will have the timeline reversed and that person being "dealt with".
Unique concept and films/acted really well!
duh, did you watch? It reversed a few minutes before the end.
@@jime6739 Geez dude why you gotta be like that?
I think i get it. History is lost because anything, and everything- can always be undone beforehand. Even the undoing. new events in causality have devolved to undoing previous events, and the only new event that is never retained is merely the most recent redo (one big waste of time). As a result- the previous versions no longer exist. Forever onward. The paradox revisited. Awesome.
If you haven't seen Primer, I recommend it highly. It's probably the greatest time travel movie ever made, and had a total budget of $7000. And the whole plot of Primer revolves around that idea, that once time travel exists, you have rung a bell that can't be unrung, trapping everyone and everything like a bug in amber because of the ability to go back and undo the undoings, and then undo those too, creating infinite recursions.
I think it is because history is partly defined by our inability to ever interact with it. We can only piece together history from a collection of subjective observations. We are always, eternally, moving further and further away from each moment that passes. Time travel, even if it's totally passive like it is supposed to be here, ends history because it eliminates that distance. We are no longer permanently separated from the past. We can observe it from new angles, collect new information, etc. Even if we don't alter it, history is no longer history. It is simply another axis of travel.
There is a short story by Ken Liu, "The Man Who Ended History: A Documentary", which has some similar themes.

@@riverofmolecules That's what I thought at first too but the rewinding and rewriting of the event that happened makes me think it's more along the lines of what OP said.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace There is better.
This is it. This is all the future history there is after she discovered time travel. History only lasts while she only has a piece of paper, then collapses. It didn't collapse immediately, there was a future, and time travel tourism started -- one occurance -- and then -- ends. And reality is stuck in that loop of time travel becoming real.
The narration makes for a very clever expository device without having to do the standard "time travel" explanation thing.
It goes on too long, though, and the background music, while appropriate, is a little too loud.
@@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself have 2 agree; it should have been more SUB-sonic thus affecting the limbic system more vitally & viscerally w/o one's CONSCIOUS emotions. a bit too spike lee. 🙄
But they blew the ending...
So refreshing to see a new twist on time travel stories. Great storyline, directing, acting, cinematography, sound, etc.!!!
I agree. I thought it was an interesting and unique way to tell a time travel tale.
All amazing though is there something I'm missing about the black guy laying flat @ the end ... Was he run over by a train or something?
Love the actor he's a bit hawwwt
@@samilucille1 They knocked him out because they saw that he was going to be a "paradox risk" (that is, he was going to screw up the "present" by messing around with the past).
@@AnthonyMiyazaki I take it that the organization's failsafe mechanism kicked in when the black guy created a paradox. It seems like they "rewound" the events back up until the point when the black guy was being selected, then "corrected" the error. It must be some kind of system of checks and balances that the organization has.

How politically appropriate.
Well done!
Very clever. 🤔
Very clever. Loved it.
Since i was a little kid, I am always obsessed with 'time travel' things... massive thanks to this short ! Its so worth it
I had to watch the ending a few times but I think I got it. Many scientific discoveries aren't used to better humanity as they were intended but to profit companies. Time travel in the end is used for nothing but a tourist ride.
Wonderful. I’ve spent my whole life secure in the knowledge that time travel is impossible because, where are the time travelers from the future? Instead I learn tonight that there are hoards of them in every nook and cranny of unobserved space. Probably at least 20 of them in the attic, behind me in the room right now. Going to sleep with my eyes open tonight!
They only watch interesting people.
One thing I find in a lot of Sci Fic Shorts that include live actors is the poor acting performances. Not the case here. This really feels professional and clean. Great job.
Just clarify what this is about (I myself only understood after reading a comment and rewatching the end):
The old woman is the inventor of time travel. The two men are time travelers from the future who were sent there by a company. After the black guy constantly tries to convince the woman to drop her research, his superiors (who can either see the future or monitored their trip) see him as a threat (he's creating a paradox as he couldn't have traveled back and told her if she never invented time travel). So his superiors reverse time before their journey starts, replace him with the young woman and execute him.
Black guy was a Variant
They're not "his superiors" they are a time tourism company and he is a customer. They don't need to "reverse time" as they are in the future, they simply do not send him because they know he interferes with the timeline if he does go back.
@@pzaikis The big kitchen sponge sees all.
for the most over explored sci-fi sub-genre, this is quite good.
My feelings exactly and it was presented SO simplistically - not to mention the clever use of what we rely upon in museum torus and such now…what a great idea!
OMG! Could this be any more thought provoking! Honestly... who’s creating these masterpieces?!? This was absolutely, by far, the most entertaining and brilliant take on time travel. Twist after twist after twist. And the biggest twist was not only the end, but reading the comments opened my eyes. I was on the edge of my seat as I watch what felt like a tour through the museum of natural history. Great job folks. Keep pumping these out... you’re helping all of us through this pandemic & depression!
Calm down Greg, or you'll be cataloged as a high risk individual
Well that was wrenching. I hadn't looked at when the video was posted, so when I got to the "helping all of us throught this pandemic" part, I thought I had slipped back for a moment. 🤪
That was well-smart. I've grown to really love these well-made short films over the past few months, maybe even a little more than most feature-length films that have recently come out. This is a special, special example. As it begins and we're following the ordinary woman having missed her train on the subway just walking along in a regular and very relatable daze while the men enjoying the exhibit follow at a safe distance listening to a voice detailing the entire trip as an ordinary tour guide might and we wonder what the heck we're watching here. Then the woman finds the losing lotto ticket with the numbers destined to inspire her to solve the enigma of time travel, only to be jeered at and heckled by one of the two time tourist. Then we rewind and again find ourselves wondering what in the hell might be afoot.. Finally, and speaking of a foot, or rather feet, we find ourselves at the start of the tour having witnessed evidence of the homicide of our heckler from the tour before that now has been almost completely erased and taped over, but for the memories of the tourist who toed the line.
Now, that was a whole lot of, "Gee, Mister, thanks for regurgitating what we just saw. I bet you feel really clever and think the rest of us who've managed to concentrate and comprehend all thirteen and a half minutes of this film," and you're right for thinking that, and I beg your pardon. It just fascinated me that the makers of this film were able to so concisely convey what really is a pretty intricate story with loads of contradictory elements involved in its detailed story line in such a short period of time with such basic production techniques and well-executed, straightforward acting on the part of the players. And the screenwriters are absolute heroes. Perhaps this is all much ado about nothing, but my little mind, perhaps wired in such a way as to be easily impressed, is blown. I loves it. Thank you so very much!
The Mother of Time Travel is hardly an ordinary woman.
You didn't fool me. The dog is an alien and was controlling the woman in order to get back to it's planet.
Snake jazz!

Sounds like a good idea for a movie subplot...

How is this story awesome?
Don Quixote Doflamingo You will forever not know the answer. Which will lead you to a discovery you stupid ******
I love the olde timey music at the end.
Found a time travel movie worthy watching after a long time
.
I remember when the first time I will eventually see this...
no, thats not a memory, you just came to your old self in a dream...
Indeed
I saw this tomorrow, I hear
I always thought the future would be covered in chrome, not pink velour.
Zap Brannigan was a trend setter.
Pink velour is the new chrome. Salute
Touch screens and tats
Incredible short! I cannot begin to explain how tense I was from about 3 minutes in until the escort tried messing with things. Fascinating storytelling and the time-reverse and headphones monologue were fantastic narrativistic choices.
It was the music. Quite annoying, once you notice it, actually.
Dr. Bekas’ formula creates a time-line for the time traveler. This temporary time-line runs outside of but parallel to the space-time continuum.
Everything past, present, and future must remain unchanged by the time traveler so as to not upset the spatial and temporal coordinates of the universe. To prevent time travelers from crossing their temporary time-line with the space-time continuum and causing a problem, Dr. Bekas embedded a Fail-Safe sub-system in her time travel formula.
The temporary time line starts with all time travelers being scanned, not to discover any potential threat to the space-time continuum, but rather to detect any attempts made by the time traveler to change anything during their trip. (Think of time running backwards.)
When the black dude broke the rules and tried to change the past he was permanently “tagged” and his time line was automatically rewound to just before the scanning, thus erasing it. Unfortunately, the nerdy white dude had to go with him. Starting over, the scan picked up the tag and he was prevented from proceeding.
If no changes were attempted, they would have simply returned to their present.
ok, but if the traveler's time line runs "outside of" but parallel to the continuum, how is he able to have any effect on the past?
Just found this in my feed - the algorithm finally working for me. This is a wonderful short. I can see permutations of this base scenario, as getting more and more snarly amusing and dramatic. Good work.
Most people of this Era believe time travel is impossible because they've never met a time traveler who came back and told them it was real.
Damn, that was good. The intro shot was bad ass and the whole reverse sequence super cool. I loved the satire sprinkled with some dark humor throughout, too. Overall a top notch production.
Momento Mori.
Not even time travel can stop that one.
Absolutely paradoxical. Thanks for the trip.
This is like the time I was minding my own business, wondering through the Infinite Forest and stumbled upon Saint-14 in the past. He eventually gave me the shotgun that I gave him hundreds of years ago. I'd never seen this shotgun. Later, I gave him this shotgun but several hundred years before he just gave it back to me. Aye, the Perfect Paradox. I love these thought experiments in time travel! Another of my favorites is when Fry goes back in time and discovers that he's his own grandpa. "All's Well That Roswell"
I was flagged as a potential paradox risk after petting the dog, like come on she didn’t even notice, geez.
“In eternity, time travel is the same as painting with air” (anonymous 2024)
That's 13 minutes that I'm never getting back
Unless you go back and choose not to watch. That's what I'm doing. Mostly because of the horrid background noise for the first half, and the way too noisy vacuum cleaner at the end. (The explaining thing didn't work too well for me either.) Concept was good though.
Actually, that was excellent!
A rare gem.
So you can maybe explain to me the last few minutes and why the other man was layin on the floor..??🤷♂️
Love how the woman from the future is vacuuming after they inserted the "The future is female" message. Brilliant
Nice catch
pretty sure the vaccuuming was just set dressing that they decided to throw in .. cuz why not?
I'm sure those fuzzy surfaces collected lint they didn't know they had .. like instantaneously.
Why do you feel the need to be so sexist?
There has been an endless supply of dust through the ages of our Universe.

The Short Story Home in Time, solves this problem with time travelers changing the past with temporary branches in time
Everytime time travel is mentioned , they always go back for the negative aspects of time recovery moments , but nice , clean enviromental experience in psychology .
Brilliant - the black guy should get an Oscar 👍
Those onesies look confortable 😀
Don't know why but this had me on the edge of my seat for a while.
Very cool short. These shorts are better than most hour and a half to two hour movies. If it ever became possible, I would like to have seen Ancient Greece, Socrates, Plato and such. Great short my friends, keep up the great work!
You have plenty more philosophers at present. Frequently they are called "fools", "clowns", and in the future they will be considered visionaries. Not much changes in human nature 😉

This is one of the best sci fi I've seen in my life. I really hope you guys get to do the series. I already want that jacket.
One of the best on-time travel I have seen so far
Best SciFi
EVER
If I had a time travel machine I would throw it in the garbage and then tell everyone I had a working time machine.
Man! Reading the comments makes the film even more interesting. A whole bunch of smart people here. 💪
Nah, not really. It only seems that way to us dummies. But, don't feel bad, there's way more of us than them and that gap widens more with every birth. So, take that nerds! What were we talking about...? Oh yeah, cats. Yeah, I love 'em too!
If time travel existed we would be inundated with tourists from the future
No, we'd be inundated with tourists from another Universe. The mathematics of time travel don't violate any known physical laws as long as you never re-enter the same frame of space/time. That means you can never return from when you came. Each frame of space/time is a separate thing, always occuring. You go back ten years into the past and what you do has no effect on the frame of space/time from which you came. And you can't go back there. You can go to an entirely new frame of space/time which may be nearly indistinguishable from the the original, but it isn't the original.
Try the novella: Let's go to Golgatha.
"we would be inundated with tourists from the future"
How do you know we aren't?

Cleverly done!
Excellent casting and the narration is fantastic - imagination should never have limits
I just wanted to say thank's for the posting "A smile to remember"
Just when you think time travel is overused and boring - a refreshing idea. Well done!
not from _where_ I am
Thanks for telling me the difference between a sci-fi short and a sci-fi short film
Well done! That was a different way to present time travel. The Timeline movie based on the novel by Michael Crichton was done well. It changed some things in the book but I thought it was well done and a good adaptation. They focused on the concept of a Worm Hole directly connecting a specific space and time in the past (1437 France) and the present 2003. It was decently done with consideration of the physics and enjoyable with the late Paul Walker and Gerard Butler as part of the case. It avoided all the paradox questions by showing the time travel was directly related to our timeline when Gerard Butler stayed behind and they found evidence of his life when the others returned to the future.
the future of museums is this...
Well , we do have some old buildings in which we literally get back in time after going in .. We just don't see ourselves or call ourselves time travelers ;)
great summary
I never expected to enjoy this- I mean the time travel stuff has been done to death but wow man am I glad I gave it a chance - wicked cool concept and love the way it’s told - I was hanging onto every word.
The placement of adverts just exactly at the critical moments of the film must have required some time travel displacement to get it accurate 🤣
My favorite kind of films, loved it, great job guys! wish it was longer lol
Who else is still watching this in 2033?
I did - twenty years ago.
hope i live long enough for the cool onesies - hope there'll be ones with the feet with the grippy bottom !
the U.S. Space Force was created this year... for real... and look up, on UA-cam, Elon Musk's interview with the U.S. Air Force, last week... for more about cool uniforms... color-coded onesies uniforms will probably start there... like Star Trek uniforms and then work their way into civilian contractor uniforms... each color of uniform designating a different category of worker...

This is freaking awesome. What a neat twist on time travel movies.
So they are going on a time trip to see how time travel was started some people embraced it some people didn't and threw the woman in front of the train multiple times but at that point time travel was inevitable and what they did to her didnt effect time anymore because it can be controlled by someone that's overseeing the time travel history trip.
And history is dead because nothing is permanent any more. Which is why nothing matters and people are angry.
Yup. They were probably in some sort of isolated time loop that didn't effect the future.
Wonderful, it was an interesting take on time travel and paradoxes. Great story, visuals and this universe promises A LOT
Quite good and thought-provoking. Love the bursts of humanity in a genre that favors a cold, sterile, overly analytical narrative.
But sci-fi tends to be the most human and thought-provoking genre of them all! Lol how could you say that??? Clearly you need to have someone give you a guided exposure tour through the sci-fi media library if that's how you view it on the whole. You must be one of those people that imagines the extent of science fiction to begin and end with Star Wars and Star Trek, so by that metric you might tend to disregard it on the whole. It would be a damn shame too honestly because you would be depriving yourself of some truly remarkable pieces of media; film, television, and literature alike. Also by the way, Star Trek is actually pretty damn full of humanity if you know where to look. It's widely regarded as one of the most human franchises in the sci-fi community. The problem is that normies and the easily bored/distracted can't get past the heavy handed use of techno-babble and its active involvement in the development of the plot in various ways. I can understand that to a degree, but not only is this something that can be learned and eventually understood, one does ALSO learn to overlook and disregard a lot of this in favor of looking for and focusing on the compelling aspects of the narrative and the colorful cast of characters who all become very real - very "human" if you will 😉 - rather quickly. You don't have to know what quantum slipstream flux is or how a warp reactor generates its matter/anti-matter reaction in order to produce sufficient power to maintain a stable warp field, you only have to understand why Spock is constantly at odds with himself and what makes him such a good friend and a damn fine science officer. Or find yourself wishing and hoping that Beverly and Jean Luc will finally cut the tension with a laser saw and get together ❤, or wonder if Seven of Nine will ever actually maintain and display any character growth/development and hold on to it for at least one friggin' episode (spoiler alert: she does not...) The point is there is an abundance of humanity and plenty to love and get invested in when it comes to Trek, techno-babble and the sterile utopian veneers aside. At any rate, if those are aspects of the series that you find unappealing and particularly distracting for whatever reason, I recommend checking out the "Star Trek: Enterprise" series from the early 2000s starring Scott Bakula. It revolves around a ship and crew on the first long term exploratory mission in the earliest days of Star Fleet and it depicts a newly United Earth before the formation of the Federation when they were first beginning to strike out into the stars and forge a pressence on a galaxy-wide stage. The technology of the time is a far-cry from the convenience, enlightenment, and cleanliness of the 24th century, and concepts like matter replication and force fields were still mere theory. They had a full-time chef aboard the ship for Christ's sake, and the only means of defense they had available were "phase cannons", which are basically just a small step above a glorified flashlight. Honestly it's just utterly baffling how they didn't all die horribly within the first week of their mission. They're like a bunch of toddlers trying to navigate a cabinet full of fine china while blindfolded, and every other dish in the cabinet is secretly topped and/or festooned with a different species of venomous pit viper. It's much more "hands-on" and "dirty" than any of the series that take place afterward, even in comparison to the The Original Series. As my now dearly departed best friend and fellow Trek enthusiast - God rest him - would say; "...'Enterprise' was less techno-babble and creative solutions and more 'hit it with a wrench'..." Couldn't have said it better myself. So if you have trouble with "The Next Generation" for example or even "The Original Series", "Enterprise" might be an easier and more enjoyable way for you to get into the Trek. Plus it does take place first chronologically in the Trek-o-Verse timeline, so it kinda works out if you were to then move on to the other series afterwards. Idk man, give it a shot!
And talk to one of your turbo-nerdy friends about introducing you to some other decent hard sci-fi media! If going purely by your comment, I bet you a Klondike bar that you will end up falling in love with a bunch of other sci-fi titles out there. In the modern interpretation of the genre, spectacle and mindless entertainment tend to take a back seat for the most part. It's almost always about something more nowdays. We've come a LONG way from "Flash Gordon" and "Buck Rogers"... haha.
Wow. That was a very strange and particular kind of tense. The music was very effective.
The birth of time travel is one event. Why wasn't the train platform full of millions of tourist? No matter when the tourist departed from home they are all arriving at the same place in time.
Clearly they are able to rewind the trip and go one at a time.
This seemed like a business or at least a tour. If the trip is rewound each time then previous travelers would not have taken the trip. They can't retain the experience if it is reversed each time.
The time and destination is the same for everyone that wants to see this event.
@@loveller that FINALLY makes the ending make sense to me!!!! Thank you.
@@houstontx68they only rewind when a disruption happens. Rewinding erases the memory of the event. They don’t rewind if nothing bad happens.

This is based on a book! Written by David Matthew Olson! I am very excited because I like what he was investigating and looking forward to see if he accomodated input by some of the early readers.
Can you tell me where to get the book?
The 'moment' time travel was used it would instantly be available across all time, and as that's never been shown its clearly impossible.

Love trippy stories like this!
Wow this is pure creativity
Time... Einstein postulated that it's a 4th element. We're all so concerned about it.
What exactly is it?
Is it possible to manipulate time? Is time travel actually a possibility? And what about the implications of time travel? If it were possible, should history be altéred in even just a small way?
Would it be the right thing to do... What if we could see what the future holds for us?
Would you want to know what's in your future? Well ? Come on! Make a decision!
I haven't got all day!!!.
An excellent serious, but ironically humorous time travel exploration. Very good imaginative production.
Man the violinists must be tiered
apocali3 and tired
Lol...that was awesome. T.Y. so much for this wonderful production. Btw, hippy new year. 🎉
Time has been altered many times by the flow of events.
Simply awesome. Great job.
An noutstanding storyline. Great acting and screenplay. Really enjoyed this angle on time travel. Cheers.
short of the week cool video awesome job
Once again, I forgot that I really do not like time travel videos. Dammitt!!
Joke of the future. Bartender says we don't serve time travelers here, A time traveler walks into a bar....
What kind of guy doesn't go to the bathroom before going on a trip?
All women do this, men are 50/50
@@sarahoshea9603 It sure doesn't seem like it when traveling with women. :)
Especially when wearing an onesie😉. It can be cumbersome in WC.
This was creative, although I didn't understand it.
U changed something you wrote in the past 😂

a society intelligent enough to create time travel will also be intelligent enough to install safety measures to protect everyone from idiots.
We might get a variation of this in our lifetime as advancements in VR (sense/haptic replication), sensor recording becomes more ubiquitous, and generative-AI systems get better at rebuilding from smaller data feeds. There could become a time when museums have experiences of "points of time in history" where you take a guided virtualized tour to observe some reconstructed event.
That, or we figure out how to memdump segments of the matrix for replay.
Not a chance. Dumping your memory would take more space than all the storage available on earth.
I answered a classified ad once and this weird guy had a time machine. Long story short he took us back to 1985 to eat at a restaurant called Max and Ermas. He then brought us back to the present, kind of a waste of time if you ask me.
What an awesome location.
that was excellent! more please
When I get on the train ,it takes me to the future
