  • Well, I don’t think anyone is really sure just how exactly time travel can mess with stuff. I would probably take a page from some time travel movie I saw. I would want to avoid any sort of temporal paradox and avoid too many changes.

    So, I would probably remove myself from the equation as much as possible. Go to a hotel or somewhere where I can avoid accidentally running into anyone I might know. Leave all electronics behind, but take a book or something. Spend the whole day avoiding TV/News/People and just reading or work on perfecting a skill. At the end of the day I would call up a broker from the hotel room and find out which stock had the greatest percentage gain that day. Just enough information for one good trade.

    Then I would go back to that morning, buy up a ton of that stock, live out life normally, then sell the stock at the end of the day.

    Rinse and repeat for a short time.

    I would absolutely avoid something like winning the lottery, but for those of you who would use time travel to win the lottery, you might want to follow the advice from this comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the_happiest_5word_sentence_you_could_hear/chb38xf/



  • All ice cream (and related desserts) will get harder as they get colder.

    It feels like you’re comparing ice cream/desserts that are completely frozen to ice cream/desserts that are partially frozen, which is not what this post is about…

    Although if the ice cream does get slightly liquidy before re-freezing, it will be much harder than it was before. This is why one of the most important factors when making ice cream is to continually mix up the ice cream while it freezes.



  • Isn’t the whole point of something like End-to-End Encryption so that not even the company themselves can read your messages?

    In that case it wouldn’t matter even if they did turn the info over.

    Edit: I read more into the page you linked. Looks like those NSLs can’t even be used to request the contents either way:

    Can the FBI obtain content—like e-mails or the content of phone calls—with an NSL?

    Not legally. While each type of NSL allows the FBI to obtain a different type of information, that information is limited to records—such as “subscriber information and toll billing records information” from telephone companies.
