Time Travel: What if you met your future self?

Oh, fantastic! So, this psychologist dude thinks he’s cracked the code on time travel, but surprise, surprise, it’s not about DeLoreans or phone booths. No, no. It’s about emotionally connecting with your future self. Forget Doc Brown; this guy’s got the secret sauce to making better life choices. Apparently, treating your future self like a long-lost friend is the key. Just imagine your wrinkled, older self as your BFF, and voila, you’ll start making decisions that even Gandalf would approve of. They even did a study with a bank, showing people pictures of their future saggy faces next to messages about saving money. Shockingly, it worked! People were 16% more likely to stash cash for retirement. Move over, Marty McFly, it’s time for some heartfelt conversations with our future selves. Who needs a flux capacitor when you’ve got emotions?

Time to play 20 questions with our future selves. Because who needs lottery numbers or stock market tips when we can ask the really important stuff? First on the list: “Are you happy?” Because clearly, future me has all the secrets to eternal bliss. Forget winning the lottery; happiness is the real jackpot. And of course, we can’t neglect the family report: “Are your kinfolk skipping through life like carefree unicorns?” Because if they’re not, future me better have a good explanation.

We’re not just concerned about our own little bubble; no, we’re saving the world one sarcastic question at a time. “Is the environment safe for your grandkids and great-grandkids?” Because nothing says environmental activism like quizzing your future self about the state of the planet. Move over, Greta Thunberg; Future Me is the new eco-warrior.
