Science fiction is cultural arbitrage against the future.
Just so you know, we haven’t hit the weirdest part of the timeline yet, where brain scanning technology is used to download tulpas from people’s brains into waiting android bodies.
That is, of course, before they start going insane and homicidal, but the brief moment between culture shock and sci-fi horror is interesting to say the least.
I admit, I focused on doing time travel, not watching time travel, so I haven’t seen all of them. It was more of a one-time thing, too.
Actually my knowledge of late 20th century movies is pretty selective. It was all considered pretty bloody problematic at the time, for most of them.
Anyhow, it’s kinda complicated, but the third way is the most, uh, accurate, I guess? There’s like a 50-50 chance I’m being chased by the Temporal Enforcement Bureau, but eh, I can live with it.
Galaxy Science Fiction, September 1954 by Ed Emshwiller
This is inaccurate, of course. The government required a substantial reduction in metal content because they were too resistant to bullets. Now it’s just the base chassis and the rest relies more on plastic. (Cyborgs are, naturally, exempt from these rules because of the 2nd amendment.)

“Huh, actually, that’s not actually a bad policy idea. Where did you first hear it?”
“Oh, some Singaporean time travel blog on Tumblr.”
“Singaporean time travel blog?”
“Well it mentions Lee Kwan Yew a bit and the author seems interested in authoritarianism in Asia, so either that or the United States given that it keeps talking about a North American Union.”
“…what?”
“If I might remind you, sir, you ordered that we answer all your questions as honestly as possible.”

You are indeed not the only one to have noticed that incentive, FWIW.
We’ll have to remember it if we ever time travel far enough back to be crowned emperors of some ancient territory, my dear Anon.
Turns out HITLER was the time traveler
Yeah, why do you think they made time travel illegal? Because they have some idea what they’re doing and adequately plan for the future?
Fuck no. It’s because the entire Prime timeline was rendered completely inaccessible by one guy who has since spread to 1,489 other timelines, probably over 1,600 by now.
Every time you travel to the past a new world is created. You can never re-enter your own past and change it. You can only make a new one.
Because of Hitler, our original past was lost to us and is now unknowable. He’s the first time traveler, and the greatest criminal in history.
Possibility #4: Osama was a time traveler trying desperately to avert our collision course with disaster, only to discover that through an ironic tragedy his actions resulted in our current situation.
That’s the normal result of time travel, yes.
