hahaha thats great
2006-08-29 20:25:37
 
Good job, friend. Nice use of BTTF music as well.
2006-08-29 20:26:10
 
lol
2006-08-29 20:26:29
 
ahahahahaha lol I win the internets.
2006-08-29 20:26:40
 
Interesting scenario.
2006-08-29 20:26:42
 
that is why (along with many other reasons) time travel can never be acheived
2006-08-29 20:26:44
 
Cataclaw, your YTMNDs are always top quality. Keep churning them out.
2006-08-29 20:26:54
 
5 cause of the I win the internets and the music
2006-08-29 20:26:57
 
Happy
2006-08-29 20:27:24
 
Now what happens if you kill your grandfather's nieghbor's pet bird? HUH? HUH? I WANT ANSWERS DAMNIT!
2006-08-29 20:27:34
 
Exactly, the paradox of time, i tell people stuff like this all the time. Also, LOL for "Sorry gramps this is for science" However, if you are a true believer in fate in that everything will happen the same way, you'll still be created just with a different grandfather, GrandpaX however, you might just go back in time and kill GrandpaX and would therefore have the original grandfather?
2006-08-29 20:28:11
 
Well it could be viewed as you went into a paralell universe and killed your paralell grandfather and thusly ceasing the existence of your paralell self
2006-08-29 20:28:24
 
Way to manhandle the Up and Coming list....
2006-08-29 20:28:51
 
This could never happen
2006-08-29 20:29:15
 
lol yeah this is probably going to start some strange nerd argument but I never considered time travel a possibility, since if you were able to go back or forward in time then that would mean it already happened and thus the mindf*ck begins because I can't even explain what I'm getting at myself
2006-08-29 20:29:17
 
"Well it could be viewed as you went into a paralell universe and killed your paralell grandfather and thusly ceasing the existence of your paralell self" Wouldn't your paralell self do the same thing and void the existance of you and your paralell self?
2006-08-29 20:29:23
 
u win
2006-08-29 20:31:17
 
so i cut out his beating heart and he won't die? nvm lol
2006-08-29 20:31:42
 
wow 40 votes already?
2006-08-29 20:32:19
 
win
2006-08-29 20:33:30
 
just remember that if you take more than 2 friends you'll end up at the end of time ;)
2006-08-29 20:33:46
 
poor grandpa
2006-08-29 20:34:36
 
4+1 for grandpa winning the internets
2006-08-29 20:35:08
 
Paradoxes destroy galaxies
2006-08-29 20:35:35
 
lol, wait for the ending.
2006-08-29 20:35:39
 
As Hockey said, there can be many different things that could happen. When you kill your grandfather it will rewrite time, and you will have another grandfather. It will rewrite time. Much like how Fry became his own Grandfather. Since.. if time is already written.. then history already had you going back and killing your ' grandfather ', so he wasen't your grandfather to begin with.
2006-08-29 20:35:40
 
The grandfather is the key to his own undoing mwaaahahahahaha
2006-08-29 20:36:32
 
yes!
2006-08-29 20:36:47
 
If time travel is ever invented in my lifetime, I will go back and drop $1000 on my front porch. brb... nope, not gonna happen, sorry folks.
2006-08-29 20:36:52
 
add "(safety not guaranteed)" in the going back in time part
2006-08-29 20:36:56
 
lol exit my site from up and coming (>400 votes), Enter this site
2006-08-29 20:37:56
 
Fixable by having sex with your grandmother. It will also make you the only one able to fight the flying brains.
2006-08-29 20:38:08
 
Instead of making "you" a 'Broken Image' picture, put in the 'Push it to the Limit' mullet guy
2006-08-29 20:39:05
 
I think I've gone cross-eyed.
2006-08-29 20:39:50
 
NO! Leave mullet man out of this. It is perfect.
2006-08-29 20:39:52
 
To fast for my inibriated brain to compute. After slowing it down manually I concluded this ytmnd is still stupid. I don't think Picard and Lohan would have a child in the first place?
2006-08-29 20:40:03
 
there is no paradox because if youre still alive then you wouldve never killed your grandpa in the first place. if destiny had you plan to kill your grandpa, then you would cease to exist in the first place.
2006-08-29 20:40:37
 
Thus furthering the idea that there is more than one literally existing dimension of reality.
2006-08-29 20:40:50
 
Caesar123: Haha, excellent. Done!
2006-08-29 20:41:32
 
Votey: I did it VERY subtly so as to not detract anything :)
2006-08-29 20:41:51
 
so adino...youre 2ing the site because of the humor that shows Picard and Lohan having a kid? It's showing one of the many paradoxes scientists face themselves with all the time keeping many things theoretical
2006-08-29 20:42:26
 
Not that clever, probably something everybody has thought about since the first time they learned the concept of time travel. But it's a well-constructed slideshow, and the fact that it loops really adds to the concept. Good YTMND
2006-08-29 20:43:27
 
lolz, its for science.
2006-08-29 20:44:24
 
WHERE THE F*CK IS NEDM
2006-08-29 20:46:07
 
NOOO
2006-08-29 20:49:05
 
Clever use of a loop...
2006-08-29 20:49:48
 
Most interesting... 5'ed because it forces one to think.
2006-08-29 20:54:17
 
Good explanation. I believe, though, that in reality, by traveling in time you place yourself on an independent timeline, and thus when you murder your grandfather, while you cease to be born on your original timeline, there is no reason why your particles should cease to exist on your independent time-traveling timeline. You get it?
2006-08-29 20:54:20
 
To quote Doc in BTTF 1 after altering the space time continuum by reading Marty's warning note - "Sometimes you just gotta say, what the hell!" This is hilarious, love it.
2006-08-29 20:55:52
 
Hmmm, alright, I'll let it slide. ONLY because you are in the Slide Show Mafia.
2006-08-29 20:56:06
 
lol, mindf*ck
2006-08-29 20:56:55
 
futurama already proved that you're your own grandpa you sick bastard. Seriously tho, every 3rd grader knows this little "paradox"
-1
2006-08-29 20:57:11
 
I was going to make a very offensive comment, but I decided not to, so I typed this instead.
2006-08-29 20:57:56
 
Thats why if you did go back it time, many believe no matter what you do it is what is meant to happen. I remember a an episode of some show, I can't remember the name, but the plot is, some guy goes back in time and kills the baby hitler, but the nanny for the hitler household is afraid she will be blamed and buys a homeless baby from the street and that baby turns out to be the real hitler.
2006-08-29 20:58:38
 
If time machines are to exist, whether or not multiple universes exist or not already, they will be forced into existance to create the possibilities of any changes to be made while traveling time.
2006-08-29 21:01:33
 
entertaining, but if you can trtavel back in time, you can kill your grandfather. You'll still exist, because time isn't a tangible thing, it's just the space between observed events. You exist, you'll exist when you kill your grandfather, and when you return to the (alternate) future, you'll continue to exist...you'll have just never been born in that reality.
2006-08-29 21:03:11
 
theirs much more to this then you explained lol .. also win !
2006-08-29 21:05:56
 
Whoops, you created a time paradox.
2006-08-29 21:06:29
 
My grandfather is dead :(
2006-08-29 21:08:06
 
lol
2006-08-29 21:08:20
 
ending? it just loops over and over.
2006-08-29 21:09:02
 
^ Ha ha ha ha nice.
2006-08-29 21:09:59
 
twitch
2006-08-29 21:10:10
 
Wow, that was good thinking!
2006-08-29 21:13:53
 
No fate but what you make. also, 12 monkeys.
2006-08-29 21:14:42
 
You've been very prolific on YTMND lately.
2006-08-29 21:14:58
 
YAY
2006-08-29 21:15:50
 
Funny, I just watched BTTF 2 and 3 earlier this evening.
2006-08-29 21:15:59
 
No....untrue. Unless you believe in predetermination. Still hilarious
2006-08-29 21:19:05
 
Quite refreshing... I think I'll kill my grandfather in the past!
2006-08-29 21:19:36
 
"However, if you are a true believer in fate in that everything will happen the same way, you'll still be created just with a different grandfather" But Hockey, if everything will happen the SAME way then you're have the SAME grandfather.
2006-08-29 21:20:07
 
I think I'll kill my grandfather in the past!
2006-08-29 21:21:03
 
Always wondered about this sort of thing.
2006-08-29 21:21:26
 
God damnit, time travel is confusing!
2006-08-29 21:23:41
 
Divergent Timelines http://chronos.ws/causality.html
2006-08-29 21:26:34
 
good job.
2006-08-29 21:27:24
 
You've just created a different timeline then.
2006-08-29 21:28:09
 
time travel = impossible but fun to argue
2006-08-29 21:32:53
 
if i go back in time and kill your grandpa then you couldnt make this ytmnd and i wouldnt 1 it and i would be downstairs watching the contender and ......wait a minute who cares
2006-08-29 21:33:15
 
=|
2006-08-29 21:35:55
 
You create a different timeline. An alternate dimension, identical to the first until the time of your interference. Grandpa will be killed my an unknown assailant, as you and everything you brought with you will disappear. In the other timeline, you never return home. In yet another, you never go in the first place. And also, you grow a goatee.
2006-08-29 21:40:39
 
+5 for epic cute story telling
2006-08-29 21:42:12
 
God I love that episode of Futurama. "I don't get it, so who's my grandpa?" "Fry you bungling idiot... YOU ARE!" awesome. Anyway, this site sucks but I like to be reminded of things i like. so 3.
2006-08-29 21:42:39
 
My head asplode.
2006-08-29 21:45:51
 
Picard and Lohan would have very hot, very demanding kids.
2006-08-29 21:48:25
 
Cataclaw, lol
2006-08-29 21:48:33
 
Or you can just do it with your grandmother like Fry did.
2006-08-29 21:52:56
 
Actually u can just f your grandma though aka futurama.
2006-08-29 21:53:11

It's true. Except you're going to live for 3-4 billion years.
2006-08-29 21:56:33
 
well golly, this deserves a 1
2006-08-29 21:56:58
 
"wait for the ending"
2006-08-29 22:02:40
 
...But it's impossible to go back in time.
2006-08-29 22:03:26
 
so in conclusion, even if we could travel back in time we couldn't change history
2006-08-29 22:06:56
 
Nice use of looping
2006-08-29 22:09:34
 
lol, headache.
2006-08-29 22:10:17
 
yeah
2006-08-29 22:15:50
 
roofles!
2006-08-29 22:17:47
 
Funny, but nothing new. Einstein knew this too. Thing is that you won't neccessarily be born or go back in time again the second time, so basically you'd just have never existed. Still, clever loop. Einstein also said tiem travel forward is possible but really you may as well freeze yourself then. String theory works so much better for this...
2006-08-29 22:22:59
 
um ok
2006-08-29 22:24:25
 
I wish my dad was picard. Anyways, nice.
2006-08-29 22:27:59
 
If you went back in time you'd die in the vacuum of space. The Earth is whizzing at incredible speeds. And it's not where it was in the past.
2006-08-29 22:30:24
 
You can become your own grandfather without time travel at all. You do need some help from your father though.
2006-08-29 22:30:36
 
Nice way to explain it to people. Also, the string theory is mostly being ruled out as of late.
2006-08-29 22:33:56
 
But if you have sex with your grandmother, then you can still be born, as your own Grandfather.
2006-08-29 22:35:11
 
lol, mindf*ck.
2006-08-29 22:37:48
 
Yes, but your time machine can go forward in time. So after you kill your grandfather, you would be able to go back, but it would be to a world in which you never existed, and are a stranger. You would live in this world for the rest of your life. Now, if you DIDN'T kill your grandfather, and you went forward in time to right before you left, and prevented yourself from going back in time, you'd have a new twin.
2006-08-29 22:41:28
 
I haven't seen a flying delorean in... over 30 years.
2006-08-29 22:42:16
 
Too bad time travel aint possible.
2006-08-29 22:42:44
 
I believe the quantum world will be the secret to understanding a lot of time's mysteries. Let's just hope we don't accidently destroy the universe first
2006-08-29 22:43:08
 
I five for the safety scissors
2006-08-29 22:43:32
 
Haha, I see what you did there.
2006-08-29 22:47:40
 
pretty much
2006-08-29 22:51:03
 
this is hilarious
2006-08-29 22:51:09
 
You fool! Didn't you see that Futurama episode where Fry does the nasty in the pasty?
2006-08-29 22:52:00
 
WTF?!?! It's too confusing!! *pulls out gun* *blows brains all over floor*
