20 Clever Redditors Share What They Would Tell Scientists To Make Them Seem Insane If They Were Accidentally Sent Back In Time To 1986

Time travel sounds crazy to some people, but it seems interesting and quite possible to others. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you were stuck in a different time zone or timeline?

We see this kind of scenario happen quite often in movies and television shows, but it's hard to say what we would do if we found ourselves in that situation. It sounds both scary and intriguing to be stuck in the past.

I think I can speak for most when I say that reading through these comments is enjoyable and very fun. I definitely want to ask other people this question to see what their responses would be. The Reddit user asks, "You are accidentally sent back in time to 1986 and are trying to convince scientists that you are from 2022?"

These responses are super cool and provide us with some ideas if we ever get stuck in the past. Let's dive in and see what people said in response to this question.
