    …Trying to work out if there’s a way you could orient a camera, the subject, and the observer such that they could see a picture of when you were older.

      There are pictures that show you the exact age you are now. Sometimes they are called “mirrors”

        Nope. Mirrors show you what you looked like when you were 3-4 nanoseconds younger.

      You could just say “here’s a picture of me when I was older”, and then take the picture and show them. Technically older than you were when you said it

        You can take a picture of yourself holding an empty piece of paper and photomontage a later picture into it. You just need a speech bubble and you are good to go

      Take a twin, put it on a rocket and make the rocket orbit around the earth at the light of speed (with a convenient reason that explain how you did it and why the rocket didn’t just disintegrated or other bad stuff) then make him get on earth again and boom! He will see his twin which is a older version of him rn

        You don’t even need to go near the speed of light. Modern gps satellites already have to account for relativity. It wouldn’t be seeing yourself significantly older, but it’s a measurable distinction.

          Just going to a weekend trip to the mountains can give you a few nanoseconds difference: http://www.leapsecond.com/great2005/tour/

          Well yeah, but for a very noticeable difference you either gonna need a lot of time or a lot of speed

      Have the observer look at the subject through a system of mirrors so the light takes longer to reach them than the camera. The extra distance needs to be longer in light-seconds than it takes to create and show them the photo in seconds.

    Great. Rehashing perfectly executed Mitch Hedberg jokes probably doesn’t need to be done.

    He really shouldn’t handle photos with so much ketchup or BBQ sauce on his hands.

    Someone should check on that unrelated yellow person that passed out, too.

        Hehe. Car keys in general, yes. But just to break motonormativity, not mine because I never had a car and I hope it can stay this way as long as possible.

    I saw through the bullshit.
