Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

And I'm saying that it's not possible under any understanding of time travel or causality to perfect history for the best possible future outcome, because doing so would negate the necessity for time travel. Unless you want to argue that this is why time travel doesn't exist, because the past is already a perfect state to never necessitate time travel. But that's the only objective measure of "perfection" that is internally consistent, and I think we would both agree that from our perspective, the past is far from perfect.
Time travel is it's own reward. We can study Ancient Rome or anything. Space probes sent to the extreme past would be very useful.
I do not expect "kill Hitler" or "fix my love life" to be the driving force in the multi billion dollar effort for time travel.
Ok but then going back to study and learn would probably include a policy of non-intervention. So how would you know we aren't constantly surrounded by time travelers blending in?
We won't unless they screw up.
Is our detection of them important? It is disappointing to not have obvious time travelers.
What would one anticipate a time traveler to do in the current time?
That's kind of the entire conversation we're having. If time travel exists, then why hasn't the past been improved, led to is it even possible to improve on the past, led to would time travelers be able to change anything, led to how would we know if time travel exists. Is it important? Only if you want to answer any of the questions we've asked. What would we anticipate they do? That's all of the questions we've asked.
