gollark: Is it easier to go to the future and back to your original time than to just go to the past? That might make those other time shenanigans easier.
gollark: In *those* I guess the people who don't exist because of timeline alteration "already existed" in some way.
gollark: In some of the sillier ones you effectively have some sort of secondary time axis (because if history "was" X but is "now" Y that implies some sort of metatime).
gollark: Depends on the model of time travel I guess.
