    I think “1914” in Serbian is “1914”

    You know, if you can’t tell those two guys apart, that’s on you. And the education system.

    That motion of events is a bit like going back in time to have sex with Adolfys mom 9 months before he is born.

      imagine you do that, and the guy still does ww2, and that was your only chance. Now imagine, you do that, and the guy is born much smarter, and he actually wins, and that was your only chance.

        Ofc he still does the war, otherwise why would you go back in time to have sex with some Austrian chick?
        (But WW2 was happening anyway, that’s why we went back in time to kill that tourist in Serbia)

        much smarter

        Dang, then I’m prob not the father of this one :/

    But now that artillery gunner at the Somme aimed their next shot just a tick over to meet its mark…

    And now Jenkins survives…

      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.
