And all the germs we carry to which we're already immune.

They'd actually kill off any would be time traveling conqueror pretty quickly with smallpox.

Definitely take your smallpox vaccine before time traveling. They still make them, so it shouldn't be too much hassle.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Aren't those only available in developing countries and via the military?

You can get it in Canada. You need to give a good reason to get it, but I'm sure time travel would qualify. If not, just say you're a laboratory worker researching Smallpox, and they'll give you the vaccine.

Man I gotta move to Canada. The US government gives me jack squat for time travel.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The IRS sends you a letter reminding you that time travel counts as being abroad and any earnings you make are still taxable.

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

And since the IRS wasn't formed until 1862, you're stuck paying at least a couple hundred years of interest on missed payments!

🤔 Not a bad plan.

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

I don't know if they would be willing to give you the smallpox vaccine in order to go back in time and totally change history so none of the people involve in giving you the vaccine would ever have been born.

Couldn't chickenpox vaccine suffice?
