This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

science fiction idea, time travelers exist and fixed all the bad things in history.
resulting in a world who's history is without any "bad incident", no wars have ever happened, no violent crime can happen, it, even minor accidents can be undone, no one dies ever from accidents. if something bad happens you report it and goes in a backlog to be fixed by future time travelers.
(assuming no paradoxes)
you go to the dermatologist and finds a melanoma, too late now, so he just schedules an appointment for you 3 months in the past to have it removed.
will the society be just? bad ? good? is that a utopia? dystopia?
if no one ever experiences massive tragedies, will there be social change? or entrenched structures become permanent and unopposed? who about the psychology? getting a stubbed toe would likely be the worst pains someone ever experiences.
interesting concept.
It would be as corrupt as the current regimes.
Oh you said something against our interests? We'll fucking go back and undo you.
You could write a cool metaphor in which it's obvious that time travel is able to fix everything, but billionaires and their government shills insists that some bad things have to happen (only to their enemies) and they have to control it.
a world without history
