This has inspired me to work on my grindset until I, too, can time travel.

I am very intrigued about this.
Where is this from? It looks like an 80's game.
The quote is from a classified ad from 1997. Here's the wiki page on it.
They also made the idea into a film. I quite enjoyed it
They made a movie based on this. It's called "Safety Not Guaranteed" and it was OK given the premise.
I'm actually learning to time travel. Still not perfect. It often takes me seven days to travel a week into the future but still
Wait... Is your mind just traveling back as your past self, or are you just traveling back in time as your fat self? Because one is just having memories, and the other is just you fat but back in 2023.
pfft dude you can't travel back as your past self your brain is already in your head it would explode
or your past self switch places with your future self.
As someone that struggles to get calories this is more inspirational than you'd think
I'm so jealous of people who have to hit minimums. I have the worst time controlling my intake.
It's feeling bad after you eat because you ate too much vs feeling bad while you eat because you're forcing yourself to eat. Neither extreme is fun, I can promise you that.
The only upside is that others look at you and think you're healthy. I don't think eating more than your body wants is any easier than eating less.
is it valid to be jealous of someone else's problems?
for me losing weight is a nightmare. definitely have an eating disorder, why couldn't it be the eating disorder that makes me skinny?!??
I don't know what valid means in this context, but everyone is fighting their own conflicting battles.
I think it's natural to desire easier problems in times of struggle, but to perceive others' struggles as preferable is a means of avoidance rather than confronting and adequately reconciling the root or core cause(s). 2¢

Why did you have to go and make this personal?
...Now where did the rest of those donuts go?
How did the skin colour change?
we brown people get darker during summertime
That makes no sense, there's more light during summer, you should get lighter not darker.
Is that you, Ken M?
Right you are, Ken.
There's more light during the summer because it all leaves the people, duh.
Leaves don’t leave until fall.
I actually thought you were serious for a moment
Pretty starkly different light between the two shots, and seasonal tone differences.
he lost his watch.
Actually, dude in 2025 looks like a small-time mob-boss, way cooler.
dude is sticking his gut out and still looks better
