A message in a time-bottle from future you

It’s no more than seven words and can’t use any proper names for fear of paradoxes because of timey-wimey reasons. What does it say?

“Get out of this state now!”

For God’s sake, DON’T DO IT!

(communication is not my strong point)

Cut the blue wire, not the red!!!

State of denial? State of disbelief? My own private Idaho?

“thanks asshole”

I feel like that one needs careful punctuation.

Tell Dad not to drive motorcycle today.

Get out now, not in a week.

Wait, is 2023 you the sender, or the receiver?

(And what would be the point of a message unless you wanted to cause a paradox?)

The Police will write a song about this.

Yeah, I don’t understand the premise. How would I know now what I’d say in the future? I hope it could be something like, “You did good, kid. Just keep going.”

If I’d known time travel was possible

Go back! It’s a trap!

Can I target precisely when I would receive it? Also, does past-me know that the message is from future-me? If so, I would have the message delivered in 2010 and it would say “buy maximum cryptocurrency now, sell November 2021.”

If I can’t target when and/or if I wouldn’t necessarily know the message was legit, I would write “you’re trans, dummy. Start transition ASAP.”

Yes, you just somehow know it’s from future-you. And I suppose future('now") you remembers picking it up then, so you some targeting makes sense. This is making my head hurt.

Do not send the time bottle message.

Under no circumstances go to P4C-970.

You fool!!

You can have excuses or results. Try !

Well, those too. But initially I meant Tennessee. Just trying to stay away from proper names. :wink:
