Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for January 11, 2022

The same thing that happens when you travel to time before time machines were invented.

Time paradox by a pair o’ docs.

That may be the least of his worries.

Would that be the dank ages?

A time before pine tree air fresheners were invented? It stinks.

What happens if you travel to a time before YOU were ‘invented’?

I”ll tell you what would happen: Show them the “prototype” and you’ll become the richest man in the world!

This opens up a range of questions. Does the time machine create a bubble to protect itself and its contents from the effects of time? If it does, will that still be in effect when the machine stops at a date-time? If it does, will it still be in effect when the door of the time machine is opened?

On the other hand, if the time machine does not create a protective bubble, it will not be able to travel back to before the activation or forward past the disablement of that individual machine. Furthermore the contents and occupants will likely change in age as the machine travels, making the whole effort mostly pointless.

The rules for time travel are written by the author.

They worship the pine tree? Kill the messenger? Kind of an trend in history.

Shouldn’t that be a London Police Box?

You reach into you briefcase …You have to be prepared for all air-freshener possibilities.

How do we know that hasn’t already happened, and that’s how pine tree air fresheners were thought of in the first place!?

Air freshener paradox.

How about a cycad air freshener?

what if the pine-scented air freshener meets its parents…?

Those air fresheners are pretty small. I’m sure you can fit a couple dozen in there that will last until you come back.
