John Titor, I know, I know... But still...

a reply to: ignorant_apeThe pictures of the unit in the car was very good, even though it has all been debunked. It was definitively some of the best use of science in fiction, and somewhat better than the scientific story lines of most time traveling fiction classics.

that unit looked like nothing more than an appliance manufactured late 60s, early 70s. the pictures depicting those equipment looked as though they were shot with a potato or toast machine. the diagram looked like something from a user manual of oldschool technology from mid 70s. the guy has trolled an entire planet for a fair amount of time, i must give him that though.

Why do people flag this thread?
It contains almost no information about any John Titor or what he supposedly prophesized.

It seems that you are new to the world of Conspiranoia. That's cool!

Go search "John Titor" and dive into the rabbit hole. It is a fun story.

It is also interesting to consider it in light of the world events that are happening now.

Enjoy!

Titor was the original QANON.. Was cool and why I actually created an account here.. Turns out, it was all a wild goose chase.. A fun one - but a lot of these silly conspiracies wouldn't be present without them.. Between loose change and Titor they were the first part of the conspiracy movement online.

the thing that people don't remember about Titor is that he spoke of alternate timelines, which really changes everything. No prediction has to be in the right year. Similar timelines are closer together in "probability" and thus we could be in a different timeline, but close enough that there are similarities.

another thing Titor said, which wasn't true then but is now, is that people would find out vaping is worse for you than smoking. Last year, we had all those people either dying from vaping, or having their lungs burned out....

A hoax .


"But then 2004 arrived and there was no civil war. The Olympics that year were not cancelled. “Western stability” did not “collapse” the year after, and mad cow disease did not become rampant. And the president in 2005 did not “try desperately to be the next Lincoln”. The president in 2005 was George W. Bush"

That's interesting, we do have Olympics cancelled, not quite civil war but the perfect storm for it, a disease we can't control and the next president whether its Trump or Biden will need to be the next Lincoln.

Not a slam dunk, but ignoring the 16 year difference and countless other things...

It's an interesting coincidence.

Do these predictions have any expiration date? Or are they Nostradamusy? They keep going and going and going, until they sort of kinda make sense.

Backwards time travel is unethical. It destroys an infinite amount of timelines that would otherwise have been left intact.

People who would have existed, would literally not exist.

We will not ever be morally clear with macro scale time travel, even if we can technically achieve it. It's destructive force exceeds every nuclear weapon on the planet.

There are only a small handful of cases where time travel would be feasible possible and not have moral impact. None of those cases are interesting, except for one involving encryption, wherein time travel would be the only way to communicate with a one time zero knowledge key between multiple parties. Even that might have a ripple effect to destroy timelines unless there was just a predetermined course of action that would have happened regardless of the time travel input.

But what the hell do I know? I'm just a random jackass on the internet.

a reply to: Archivalist

I mean, a meeting in the past, in a virtual encrypted space between multiple parties with all those not having agreed to before and after knowledge of the event, having their memories wiped.

What kind of wacko would believe in that stuff? Surely not someone that would preemptively create a false report knowing it would be fulfilled, only because they put into motion to help someone that was stranded somewhere they didn't want to be.

Potentially off the east coast of the US in 2016, with outside observations by NOAA, NASA, and unidentified parties, beginning in 2014-2015.

But hey, let's keep the interesting things interesting.

To be fair this is a lot more accurate or at least, less open to interpretation than Nostradamus.

You can't deny the coincidence, you can very easily and rightly deny the coincidence proves anything.

Of course I'm saying this 15 yrs after it didn't come true. Perhaps 17yrs is the expiry?

a reply to: Krahzeef_Ukhar

What is the significance of the number 17? Is it a numerology thingy?

a reply to: Phage
Nah, just that this specific prophecy if accounting for the time difference would be proved wrong by then...

Just like it was 15yrs ago.

a reply to: Krahzeef_Ukhar

Daylight savings?

a reply to: Phage
Well that's where you have to be creative.

Maybe Bush stealing the election set everything back. His world had Chad's that worked meaning the plan wasn't set back 2 presidential cycles.

I got no idea, I just think its funny he was close. (provided I cherry pick, change dates, diseases and ignore wrong predictions)

a reply to: Krahzeef_Ukhar

I wonder if one might be able to make a living (or at least a following, including nubile women).

Speaking of "close", are you familiar with Heinlein's novel, Friday? Contains a pretty good description of the internet.

a reply to: Phage
You need to push the spiritual aspect to get the girls. And a good guru beard if you take it seriously and want the ones with daddy issues.

This scifi stuff will probably get you plenty of teen boys ala quartz crystal.

Never heard of the book.

I checked the date on the book and I doubt that...

Care to elaborate?

If I were a time traveler and came back, I would make my online posts vague. Even if I was to talk to my younger self, they would still be in disbelief from what I would actually want to tell them, keep it cryptic and have fun.

Thats just me tho.
