Remember folks, shoot them before they become famous. No one cares about the death of a nobody.

Wasn't Regan an actor before becoming president? I'm gonna need more crystals to travel that far back.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think getting that amount of crystals will be that difficult. A quick Go Fund Me, should be more than sufficient.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or just move to an Oklahoma trailer park. Everyone makes crystals round these parts

A time machine that runs on meth? I guess that's a lot cheaper than a time machine that runs on cocaine.

That's called cocaine and it only takes you to the future.

Time travel to one of his movies and swap out the fake bullets for real ones and then he'll still be more famous than just a regular movie star but for a different reason.

If you can arrange it to work out just like Brandon Lee's death, you could also save him by ensuring safety standards account for that kind of movie gun accident and we'd have more kung fu movies, too.

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You got to get him in like 1968 or something.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 62 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He was in a lot of westerns, just replace the blanks in a gun

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago (2 children)

......oh fuck. What did Baldwin inadvertently save us from?

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z!

Whatever it was, it was deemed worse than the 3rd Reich.

Sending Alec Baldwin back in time to produce one of his films

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"Bedtime for Bonzo, motherfucker."

🔫🤠

She's even double-tapping to make sure. Professional job.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Double? Ima mag dump him

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To do this properly: sneak onto a set of one of his western movies and swap a blank for a live round.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Are you implying that Alec Baldwin's 2024 presidential campaign was sabotaged by a time traveler?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Halyna Hutchins would’ve been the target. Baldwin is just the body, in a Quantum Leap-style time travel.

She wasn’t US born though so she can’t be president. She was born in Ukraine.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

2024? Any self respecting time travelling assassin would leave more time for corrections.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is why we never got President Brandon Lee.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now do this but with Thatcher

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Given the current state of our government, I'd rather give Thatcher the gun and introduce her to the current conservatives.

And yes, I would also fully support exhuming her body, moving it up north somewhere and setting it up as a public urinal.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Thatchers government was filled with morons too

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now that's what'll impress Jodie Foster.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Given how he responded to the HIV crisis you might be right.

[–] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I, too, hate when people don't use "whom" though this appears to be too much.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Now do Milton Friedman

[–] Buck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

"Whom" is dying, and for good reason. It has no need to exist. "Who" is completely understandable to use instead.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Or go back in time to make sure the guy that did shoot Reagan is better trained. Maybe get him a full auto pistol.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

BANG Oh no, Ronnie R's grammar Nazis go too, such sad collateral

It's funny but I do wonder why history got rewritten to make people think that the 3rs Reich did much for space travel.

10k people dead in production, 15k people enslaved, more than 80 USD billion spent, 9 years of production. And the only thing they showed for it was going from a single stage to a two stages. Something some civilian university professors were already messing with. Meanwhile the bulk of "their" ideas were from elsewhere. Using fuel lines to cool, gyroscopes to stabilize, gravity priming...they took all that stuff from spies.

What if all the failed Hitler assignations were time travelers showing up and messing everything up, and the one person that was successful made it look like suicide.

Hitler's destiny is already killing himself while malding and shitting himself, which is a miserable enough way to die. Lots of other assholes died quietly in bed though.
