  • Why tho? I am not old and this is fairly standard in my work place, some forums I use, messages with friends etc. Maybe it’s a culture thing but definitely not an old people thing imo. Its the easiest way to send an acknowledgment or agreement with a message without spamming the group chat and it makes it easier to count if you interpret it as votes.

    Edit: I am talking about reacting to the messages directly, I don’t reply to someone with just a thumbs up emoji when I can just say Ok in most context.

    The beginning of your comment sounded aggressive and that others are idiots for laughing about this comic without considering limitations of time travel. Probably want your intention but that’s how it looked to me and why I left the comment. Never claimed we can’t talk about imaginary things, just that we don’t necessarily have to.

    I don’t get these arguments. If we ate talking about hypothetical scenarios when we invent time machine to go back to a particular point in time, why not assume we can also choose a particular point in space, predict where earth would be or view the space before you jump in yourself. This is just a simple comic anyway, not deep enough to talk about viability of time travel.
