    OT, but this got me thinking of time travel fiction, and
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val%C3%A9rian_and_Laureline
    is the only example, that I can think of, that works for me.
    "running joke was that despite being a time-traveller he is always running late, especially when summoned by his boss"

    Addendum 2026-01-30 06:49: Yeah, double space on line ends give newline.

    Wait, it does? You mean I can make new lines happen on this forum?

  • 516052 (unregistered)

    Yea, didn't work for me.
    Maybe I need to try like this?

    Anyone else missing the 2026-01-29 post?

    It was up for a little while yesterday. Now the page is dated next Monday, so you'll see it in a few days.

    I've seen the last picture on Weather Underground. If I remember correctly, it happens if you look at the 10-day forecast when it's between 11:00 PM and midnight.

    I'm worried that the groundhog will have a similar prediction on 2/2.

    It won't end after the 2nd, it'll just keep repeating.

    Maybe selfdemonstration for this article? :D

    The bartender says, "get out! we don't serve time-travelers here!"

    A time traveler walks into a bar.

    Being in 2 places at the same time is bilocation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilocation ), not teleportation. Saints do it all the time. Though being in 3 places twice at the same time is pretty impressive.

    Addendum 2026-02-01 02:16: err. probably not twice. On second reading I imagine that's arriving and leaving times but still quite good compared to most saints

    Do we need better verb tenses to describe a counterfactual present from the future perspective?

    "It will be happened, it shall be going to be happening, it will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future."

    Alternatively, "We don't ever have existed here anymore, but this is hardly the time to be conjugating temporal verbs in the past impossible never tense".

    Isn't a counterfactual present from the future perspective just a counterfactual past? "I could've been a contender," that sort of thing?
