You can’t find them because you from 15 minutes in the future took them, duh.

Dude…we’re a few days away from trump having a too close to call election in which he’s made open statements about being a facist dictator if elected.

The price of food now requires a second mortgage. Mortgages that millenials don’t have, because they could never have a house.

4 years ago MURDER HORNETS migrated to America, and it wasn’t even in the top 10 of our worst problems in 2020.

What part of ANY of this makes you think we’re in the GOOD timeline???

I’m assuming that they’re Bluetooth, as if they were wired, the problem couldn’t really come up.

If they’re still paired to a device, crank the volume up and try playing something loud enough that you can hear it.

For Bluetooth devices that are powered on and responding to queries for nearby Bluetooth devices, you can also try asking a device that can pair with Bluetooth devices and show signal strength, like a laptop, to query for nearby devices, can kind of use to “home in” on the device.

I used to lose mine until I glued them onto a headband and used some paracord to tether it to my phone case.

One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.

You don’t need to go back in time for that.

Just go visit the Amish!

From what I’ve learn (mainly from mainstream media) I respect their choice to maintain thier culture and lifestyle. Something to be said from having no rat race and living a simple life off of the land.

Reminds me of a YouTube video giving thorough advice on what you should do if you would ever time travel back to medieval Europe.

One of the biggest hurdles would be language. Even 50 years ago people sounded different. You go back 200, you would sound weird to the others. It would be disorienting. Might end up in jail or worse. Language is an organic thing that constantly changes.

I’ll keep my organic farming and connection to nature, thanks.

Though I’d prefer to go back a few million years before humans even evolved.

Yeah, thanks, that comic was a little too black and white in 50% of the panels - acknowledging women’s rights and their role in society and abolishing child labor doesn’t mean that we did not process the shit out of food and invented the unholiest abominations as substitute for actual nourishment, or that it’s suddenly healthy to live in a concrete block after spending 10 hours in cloned cubicle #7.

Good news! With our new work from home policy you get to stay in your concrete block all day!

Also, in nomadic neolithic societies women were treated as equals. Agriculture was a trap.

The whole “processed food is bad for you” thing is junk science. What matters is what’s in the food, not how “processed” it is.

I agree. When I was talking about “processed food”, I was talking about food that has been processed too much, i. e. cooked to oblivion, loaded up with preservatives, artificial flavor, colors etc. to maximize profit by making it last longer, be more attractive / “tasteful” to the point of addiction (think chips) no matter the nutritional value.

Food is of course processed even in the home kitchen, and there are processing methods that are totally fine (let’s say freezing, canning) and that have a long cultural tradition without adverse effects.

However, I think it’s hard to dispute that industrially processed (fast) food, convenience food, snacks, super high calorie foods etc. are a real problem. I honestly also blame e. g. the expectation society has with respect to its workers who can’t necessarily afford (money, time) to regularly prep healthy food at home, given the schedule imposed on them.

don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this. it’s possible to be connected to nature and not be a regressive society.

Very few time travel stories every address this and other detriments to the past. For most of history, the past has been a pretty horrible place compared to today unless you are rich and usually male. Even you are those, you don’t have to go far back to be victims of disease or injury commonly cured today. Depending on what part of the world you are in, and how far you are going back, your skin color, spoken language, or physical features may also put you in a world of hurt.

We still have a long way to go to be better, but as crazy as it seems, right now, is a really really good time for most of us compared to most of history with regard to freedom and health.

The only way I want to time travel is like…looking through a window to watch it.

Actually being there???

Fuck that, I like being alive and not not alive.

I wouldn’t mind the chance to occasionally go back in the past and talk to long lost loved ones, let them know I miss them and that everything’s alright.

Even if it was just limited to a time bubble and nothing I did in the past would change the present or future.

Going to the past within living lifetime would be fine! Probably!

I want to look and see ancient Mesopotamia but not like. Go there. Seems dangerous.

disease might be a particular issue beyond just that. Last thing you want is to give the past COVID or modern strains of the flu or whatever else, and in reverse, you dont want to bring back smallpox
