    “Fuck hitler’s mom”

    Yeah that sounds like the setup to a bootstrap paradox in which you were always hitler’s dad.

    Eva: Adolf, why are you destroying everything? Adolf: My father is a time traveler from the future and he left me. So I make sure he will not exist. Eva: From the future? So he could also be our son? laughs Adolf: takes the gun

    Such is the nature of time travel that you go back in time to seduce and fuck Hitler’s mom and guess what?

    Your son is Adolf Hitler.

        Mecha-Hitler wasn’t just some artist’s drawing for Wolfenstein, it’s a remnant of another timeline where there’s fuckin robot Nazis all over

            Eh, yes and no. Red Alert 1 is part of both the Red Alert and Tiberium series. One ending results in RA2 and the other in Tiberian Dawn (C&C '95) but there’s no consensus on which ending leads to which game. I think that the Allied ending leads to TD and the Soviet ending leads to RA2, but there are arguments the other way, too.

    Adopt baby Hitler and raise him in a way that would not give rise to the kinds of feelings and ideologies that could lead him down the path of ethno-nationalsim.

      That’s when we figure out that this is the path that lead him to flip flop completely hating everything you taught. You went back to stop Hitler only to be the thing that caused his reign of terror. Life would have that kind of irony.

      I mean I get the whole post isn’t super serious but for real, I doubt that getting rid of Hitler-Hitler would have stopped the rise of fascism and nazis. There would have just been another leader who might have caused even greater damage.

    Heads up, Hitler’s mom died of breast cancer when he was young. If you’re going to seduce her, you should be emotionally prepared for the consequences.

    Because it is a thought experiment about punishing people for pre-crime, not people actually planning what to do with a time machine.

      • The cool thing about a time machine is you’d be able to kill Hitler several times, in several ways, in several different back drops. 😃

        Kill Hitler, every single day that he was alive, starting with the last day and working your way back to his birth.

          Hey if you ever get access to a time machine and i somehow piss you off in the future, could you do me a favor and hop back to this day and warn me?

              More than a bit. But I don’t fantasize about mutilating and murdering a serial killer every day. Dexter wasn’t saying that its normal

      And then I’d have to time travel to fuck Hitler’s dad’s mom. I didn’t make the rules, I just enjoy them.

    Plot point: hero person goes back in time to kill Hitler, but finds they have to fight off a bunch of other time travelers from different points in the future bc everyone wants the kill for themselves. Hitler still gets away.

      I think probably because it would take him a little while to get back probably, if he ever did. But wouldn’t kill him. It’s not like Hitler’s grandpa really did anything wrong, that I know of at least

    How would you know that this situation including time traveler dad’s disappearance doesn’t ultimately create him?

      In general, all the “use time machine to kill Hitler” ideas (in the rare cases they are not presented as just a joke) assume that it was Hitler the person and not the socioeconomic and historical conditions that resulted in the catastrophe. There were enough little Hitlers to fill that role. If you want to prevent anything beyond small details, you have your hands full of work as a time traveler.

        Use time travel to 1914 and save archduke Franz Ferdinand, avoid the great war and the economic sanctions imposed into Germany after the war

          Go back in time and try to flag down Archduke Ferdinand’s motor carriage only for the driver to get freaked out and go down the alternate route right to where Gavrilo was trying to get to the original route but was running late because another time traveler delayed him…

    Gotta love the heteronormativity on this post. Why fuck the mother? Why not go back in time and fuck Hitler and make him fall in love with me? All hail homo-hitler!

    If you think about it, there are on average 30 to 80 million sperm in a typical ejaculation. So I’d find Hitler’s dad on the street, bump into him and jiggle his nuts a bit. Surely that’d be enough to change history.
