    Our only goal here is to get people from the future to ancient Houston safely and back without dying or being inconvenienced. The Future will use this as a step-by-step guide to survive. Make any recommendations you wish. For example, the year to travel to or not travel to and why, what profession you should identify as, how to prepare for weather, how to not draw attention to yourself, what to avoid doing, what to bring or not bring, how to fit in, how to use stuff, phrases to learn, how not to get in trouble with Texans, Houston's rulers, sex-workers, or whatever else you may find absolutely critical to our time travelers' guide to Houston.

    Show up in October 2017. Attend a baseball game at Daikin Park MMP. If you choose to go to the game on October 29, 2017, get a nap before or after depending on where you are on the timeline before attending.

    Great... now we're gonna have future people traveling back in time, jack with "temporal mechanics", screw everything up for us, and this thread probably won't exist. Y'all know how this always goes in Star Trek and why there's a temporal prime directive in there! You can't trust humans to not do something stupid.

    Trade pizza for 10,000 bitcoin in 2009.

    Sell in 2025 when it hit 100k.

    Meme relevant to both years:

    There are no paradoxes, only alternate timelines.

    What about paradoxes that don't involve temporal topics? Get that MCU mess outta here!

    Come back in March 1983 and tell Guy Lewis to keep the foot on the gas in the 2nd half of the NC game.

    I would tell them to write a book on what the makings of a miserable sports fan community looks like. Then have them visit Houston January 3rd 1993.

    Volume 2.... enter the Houston Texans.

    Pardee and Eddy not to play prevent defense (and offense)
    Too many Astros ones to mention
    Hire the Pinkertons to guard Lloyd and Wiggins from themselves 24/7

    If you go back to 1992, and you've been watching the Oilers, once you've watched us defeat the Buffalo Bills 27 - 3 in the last game of the regular season....

    ... stop watching right there.

    I know you're thinking, "Wait! We made the playoffs! And we play Buffalo again in the first game!"
    You must ignore that feeling. Just accept that the season is over. Do not watch that playoff game, under any circumstances.

    You must trust me on this.

    There honestly should be some form of forum punishment for even mentioning this game.

    I apologize. I'm just trying to save others from agony.

    No. If they go back to that time then they deserve to suffer like the rest of us.
