“Early time travelers measured the trips in “grains,” in reference to an hourglass, since they could only move a few seconds at a time. Later machines used grandfather clocks, and measured quarter-hours as “chimes.” The terms remain in use today; time travelers adore tradition.”

I had a dream I was able to time travel and I went like 10,20,100,1000,2000 years into the future but the instant I went to 4,000 I got stuck in a time dilation jail set up by the American government in the year 3,877 in which anyone that tried to time travel back or forth across May 23, 3877 while on Earth would end up stuck in this time dilation chamber trap to stop time travelers but like it was so crazy and mismanaged because it was legit capturing like every single time traveler ever and the place had only been open for 12 minutes and was already getting overpopulated with nonstop multiple recursive instances of this one other guy trying to break previous versions of himself out of this god damn time traveler jail
that is fucking hysterical and absolutely sounds like something the American Government would set up.
@merindab this sounds like something Jack and/or the Doctor would run into tbh
The fact that no time travelers have appeared to stop Donald Trump yet suggests one of two things: either he doesn’t win the election or he does and the entire world ends.
Or Ted Cruz was the time traveller, and his participation in the race is part of a stable time loop which leads to Trump becoming President
Ted Cruz’s uncanny behavior and appearance are actually because he is an alien investigating the exact reasons why Earth became a charred cinder in galactic federation year 20967234. He dropped out when he realized the answer and is now making arrangements to be beamed away before it is too late.
unfortunately due to a mishap during the beaming process he is sent to 1960’s northern california and is driven mad and thus becomes the zodiac killer
which we all gave him the idea for in the first place
case closed everyone hit the showers

Ray Bradbury: Time travellers must be exceptionally careful. Something so small as stepping on a butterfly can radically alter the entire course of human history.
12th Doctor: *Rides into a medieval castle on top of a tank playing electric guitar* I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am!
Ray Bradbury: And then there’s that motherfucker.
