I’ve daydreamed about this. I remember that I don’t speak any of the local languages and I’d hope whoever I teleport next to speaks English, lest I absolutely freak them the fuck out. Not that it’d be much better, and an English speaking guy coming through a fuckin portal or whatever would be… suspicious to say the least lol. I’d also have to be really meticulous about what info to bring back down to minute details, and have to trust that the future-source is worthwhile and not falsified history.
Likely. Just hoping I end up somewhere where one’s available and not, say, in a local bakery’s store room.
I am not sure how accurate or inaccurate I’m imagining this time travel device or spell to be. Perhaps we can teleport directly in front of Stalin himself.

Silly, just daydreamin.
That’s all true, but if we’ve got time travel working out the kinks is a piece of cake in relativity.
I assume that practically every major country on Earth going back decades would have trained translators versed in English.

I can imagine Stalin facepalming and thinking “You have invented time travel, yet you still have capitalism.”
“What? Did it cost you a fourth of a month’s salary for this trip?”
“Nah, we popped a cap in some mothafuckin’ cracker-ass Kulak to fund the trip. We thought you’d be proud.”
