@dafunkymonke wha-

trolley problem (but a diff one) theres a trolley heading towards 5 ppl, u can divert the track, letting it through a portal running over 5 ppl in the far future instead, what do u do?

[dafunkymonke]

@poyo It has to be the people of the present. All people now will have a lineage, by ending their current lineage im cutting off 5 familys from development, therefore reducing the overpopulation crisis. 5 people now will be over 1000 people in the far future (im guessing far is over 100 years) if they all have at least 2 kids. killing these 5 is helping the future 5 people on the trolley from not only death, but a world of crowded overpopulation

You’re kidnapped and forced to either:

A. Kill you and your parents

OR

B. Save yourself, but all of your future children will die by your hands

[dafunkymonke]

@Alastor_ when you say die by your hands, do you mean i have to kill my own children when i have them? or am i transported into a world where i have to kill all future children

[Alastor_]

@dafunkymonke You gotta wait until they’re 5. (You don’t get a weapon for the kids option. You have to use your hands.)

[dafunkymonke]

ill kill myself and my parents, so that i essentially kill both my parents, and my future children. By achieving this i can relieve my parents and myself of all stresses (rent, food, etc) as well as not having kids and not creating them, therefore no stress gained

Grandfather's Parade.
You travel through time and then you kill your grandfather before he meets your grandmother.
then you cease to exist, but if you do not exist, you did not kill your grandfather and if your grandfather did not die, you existed and if you existed, you killed your grandfather, but if your grandfather died, you ceased to exist, so your grandfather didn't die.
What could be the explanation for this paradox?

@Vaile Prehaps it creates a timeline where your grandmother marries a different person, therfor, you are a completley different person, but with the same grandmother.

[Vaile]

create two parallel timelines

@Alastor_ Not me casually being dirty minded :p

@Vaile The answer is that you never killed your grandpa in the first place. By your existance means that future you couldnt of killed your grandparents in any point of time, otherwise you wouldnt be alive at all to kill him. Mathematically i wouldve never killed my grandpa in any point of time, which is evident of my existance. You could argue for multiple timelines but it would be impossible for such to happen as time travel is linear
