What time travel might look like from the other side [1]. I remember a great short story I read about the first time traveler. They decided the first visit would be the Shakespeare. Shakespeare has no problems accepting that he's being visited by a time traveler, and asks what gifts the traveler brings. The traveler is a bit confused, so Shakespeare explains that the early ones all bring gifts. The traveler has broug…

Reminds me of a story where it turned out that the entire Passover crowd where Pontius Pilate asks who should be pardoned are time travellers that have been told to do what everyone else does.

Steins;Gate, a Japanese light novel and anime, includes John Titor in the story in an awesome way. It also includes some bit of hacker culture that I think is more real than the typical American movie "hacker". I recommend it! Edit: As pointed out in the comments, this was originally a visual novel! There are many ways to enjoy this story.

The full anime (all episodes subbed, a few dubbed) is available for free on YouTube by Funimation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=EL3n57TtnN3tY

So, in the late 90's I went to a goth convention in New Orleans, where my wife met a time traveller named "Butterfly". I saw her talking to a weird looking guy, and swung by to see if she needed help, but she had that "oh this is going to be a great story" look on her face and kind of shooed me away. Later, she told me he had claimed to be from the future. He made some predictions: - there would be a war in Iraq, but…

But what predictions did he make which didn't even come close to coming true but you don't remember them as well because of that?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

One of my classmates in an IT course was named Aragorn. I thought about asking him whether his parents chose the name but decided I didn’t want to know.

Can someone explain why this is trending on Hacker News today?

It's the choice of Steins Gate. The spread of the truth is a necessary measure to bring the actions of The Organization and SERN to light. El Psy Kongroo.
