Sort of similar to the Great Filter theory, but applied to time travel technology.

My favorite depiction of time travel tech is Primer. Assuming you figure out the time travel part itself, I can imagine a time machine that can take you all the way back to the moment it was switched on. Any other mechanism has introduces way more issues that time travel alone.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
