Stolen from the comments on ytmnd linked here, the original poster appears to be John Silveira: https://www.backwoodshome.com/the-time-travel-ad/
This ad is what the movie Safety Not Guaranteed is based on.
6.9 stars, starring Kristen Bell and Aubrey Plaza
It wasn't the greatest movie but it was perfectly watchable. I've seen it at least twice? The first time for the memes, the second for having a crush on Aubrey Plaza lol.
I wouldn’t say it starred Kristen Bell. She appears in one scene.
It sucked ass. It was one of those movies where it's about the color blue, but it's red the whole time and the color blue is only implied to happen just as the movie rolls credits.
Oh yeah like Downsizing. It's one of those movies that should have been a tax write-off but it wasn't good enough.
I'm going to respond to this, you'll know I've successfully traveled back in time if when you're reading this, the allies WIN world war 2 and Hitler survives until at least 1945.
By God, your a hero! I assume...
It's a shame only you will know what the prior timeline was like, but it had to have been horrible.
Just got back...
Guys what the fuck?
HOW IS IT JUST LIKE IT WAS?!
Now the curation is if you did go back and change things, would your memory if if change instantly since you’ve change the conditions that led to your time travel in the first place.
No. Your past and future do not change. You exist on a single temporal line going infinitely forward.
Solid movie.
That haircut proves that he is from the future.
If you go to the comments, you can see that I successfully predicted that this would become a big meme back in 2005
I'm learning way too late that there's comments on YTMND pages
What a legend. I actually looked to see if the usernames matched that's awesome. 21 years goes pretty damn fast... Whew.
I see three, maybe four outcomes:
- You actually do go back in time and this person’s discovered something mind blowing that you get to be a part of. You may or may not die, or you may not be the same as you were before.
- Shrooms. You likely won’t die and you may not be the same as you were before.
- He’s insane and is going to kill you. You will likely die and will not be the same as you were before… because you’ll be dead, or you’ll have killed someone in self defense and, if you’ve never killed before, will be a changed person. …but also if you die and time is a circle then in a way you did go back in time, but also forwards, and nowhere? You’ll be somewhere on the Jeremy Bearimy.
- Fourth outcome is he’s not insane enough to kill you, but is also not a time traveler. Just a high energy friend who’s likely manic but also has enough money for ads and can write with good grammar.
Fifth:
- Somebody wrote a cool want ad as a work of fiction.
All these options seem to end with “you may not be the same as you were before” either explicitly or implicitly.
My experience with Craiglist-type ads has me asking questions about my safety by default and if it’s something I can walk away from without any sort of fallout.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.
All I've seen is the trailer for that, I haven't actually got around to watching it yet, and I have to say I have no idea what that movie is going to be about, the trailer doesn't give any info away at all.
You're out of sinc
You're out of time
Nah ,iam in a loop 🤔
