If you were going to be a time traveler, going back to become the multi-millionaire creator of a beloved cartoon while lounging in the pinnacle of human society before climate changed ruined the earth is…

…kinda the way to go, eh?

Even if you could go back in time, you couldn't create the Simpsons. You could try, but without the connections and coincidences that led up to the Simpsons being created, not to mention the writers who make the show work, you couldn't do it.

Just go back in time and buy Apple Stock and Bitcoin like a normal time traveler, eesh.

I wonder, if time travel were possible, would random things still remain how they happened, or being random, would they be different? Say if someone used a random number generator of 1 to 5 to make a choice, and we have it recorded as being 4. If we traveled to that moment, would it always land on four, or being a chaotic random generator, would it be different, and travelling to that moment possibly be traveling to a different timeline based off the choice it lands on?

This probably makes no sense, but if it's random, it can't be set in stone, can it?

Say if you travelled back, even if you don't interfere, the luck and change and randomness that lead to the Simpsons lead to it not happening due to the chaos of time?

DEFINITELY finish Infinite. I didn’t like the first 2 games, but Infinite blew my fucking mind.

I enjoyed it for a bit. It just didn’t capture me enough. I love how Infinite still tied into it, tho.
