  • This assumes that all the water on the planet has been evenly mixed in about 80 years since Hitler’s death. I’d say if you’re living in New Zealand you’re likely a lot safer than if you have lived 80 years near germany. I assume the issue is less “Hitler rain” than Hitler ground water.






  • Exactly, that’s why this works isn’t it?

    This makes one self consistent timeline where the big reveal is OP kills the archduke starting WW1 giving rise to Hitler in the first place.

    What we wouldn’t know is the nature of “Jenkins” let’s call him, before the very first time travel that first timeline OP went back to kill. Maybe it was in fact the archduke who rises to horrible power, adding another layer of indirection to the story.

    Seems to me that, once you time travel you’re on a different timeline where the events you originally wanted to change didnt happen so you wouldn’t have memory of them, right? Perhaps you’d think it was all about Hitler, but Hitler was the result not the cause.

    Edit: Lots of words to effectively reinvent and colorize the bootstrap paradox lol. Should have read the thread first.




  • How many grams of fire to make 88000 calories?

    To heat from 40F to 200F with 10 pounds of milk is 1600 degreelbs and we can heat 16000 degreebls with 10 buffaloxen of firewood, so, conveniently, we know this process takes one clean buffalox of firewood. Pretty trivial in imperial* units.

    I agree of course with the use of metric (even if it’s fun to take the piss), but you’ve arrived at an equivalently meaningless result in either case. Now if you want to use a calculator and go from calories to kWh, it’s a different story.

    What’s it like being stupid?

    I was here ready to support someone who says “hey don’t break into people’s houses” and then you start acting like a shitbird and I gotta downvote, I can’t even back you up.

    I’m a dirty gun-owning Democrat, and it doesn’t matter what your political affiliation is, if you break into my house with my wife and children inside, you’re gonna have trouble.
