John Titor

Ok. Well whats wrong with a car that old? What’s up with the people that drive the old 1930 cars in my city or other? o thats 70 years… and theirs plenty of them who drive them. If I was a billionaire and I bought a 50 year old car what would that make me? Like I don’t get it whats up so who cares if he’s got a car that old. Maybe he likes it. Maybe it was specificly chosen not by him but the military who said that this should be the car.
Also he traded the car for some kind of truck.
Ever think that he didn’t drive that car around but instead he had his own car and the military chose this one? 2%. Well their from the future. I think they might be a little more knowledgeable then us :wink: .

While I dont believe in Titer or whatever his name is, I do think I have an answer for the car thing.

When he first “traveled back in time” he went to the 70s. He had to have a car from that era. How do you think someone from the 1930s would react if they saw a Ferrari? So of course he couldnt bring a car from the 2030s.

Arite neo, that’s a reasonable story. Now i’ll get off the car. I still completely disregard the john person. He is just some person from now. Time travel will not be invented by the year 2036 that’s only in 32 years from now. No chance. I have no doubts that in all of time ahead of us, that someone will invent a time traveling macine. But that would be far into the future.

I’ve heard a lot of talk about the apparent exposure of this “John Titor”, in various places online while I was searching for additional information. All of the provided links no longer worked (they were several years old, after all), but they claim that this guy was tracked back to someone playing a prank somewhere in Florida. I’ll see if I can find anything about it.

They said that WW1 was the war to end all wars because some many people were killed. Hey 20 years later WW2 even worse then WW1. I don’t think those people though another great war was coming either.

will you stop. you sound like you want a world war 3 so we all die and the world is destroyed. john is some kid like atheist said. A prank. Like all the pranks of time. he’s another bigfoot or loch ness monster. Or roswell. That’s what he is. end of story.

A kid you crazy. What kind of kid knows all that and has planned from 1998 to do this stuff. With that kind of knowledge. A kid sure.
I don’t want a WW3 but if it happens I’ll face it.

Well worrying or not worrying wont stop a war, so jus forget about it. Now you cant really be 100% sure of something, but I’ve got a pretty strong hunch that this guys bullshit. If you traveled back in time would you go and start telling people? And there was a good point on how does it he know its two percent.
Plus if he IS from the future, he wouldnt be so stupid to think that he wouldnt have any effect. I mean if a war does break out, and everything that he said comes true, people are gonna go crazy over Titor and everyone on the face of the earth will know his name.

Also a kid couldnt do it, but just about any person who graduated from a good college and took a few classes could come up with that stuff

People actually believe it. . . .thats sad. Does nobody find it strange that this man, sent on a mission from the future, takes the time to take pictures of his time machine, set up a computer with internet connection (did he find a temporary residence to pay the bills?) , and tell everyone about his mission to get an old computer? Then he conveniently throws in lots of interesting details about WWIII and half the world’s population being killed. Of course it’s a goddamn prank. People need to quit believing everything they hear just because it’s interesting. if that happened, religion might not be so popular.

lol at least he provides evidence, even though it may be fake. But he seems to know too much. Maybe he was a really smart guy and wanted to play a game to see how long it would take for him to get caught.

He lived with his parents and the 2 year old version of himself :content:

Looking at it quickly, I am sad to announce that America may be using feet and inches way until 2036. In other words, I think it’s probably total crap.

This is awesome - as part of my ‘keep an open mind’ philosophy I took the time, staying up till 3:30 am reading that whole site… got a little worried :shy: , started doing more extensive research, and after getting no sleep I am proud to announce this whole thing was a damn hoax…

:bored:

I someone, recently too, came accross the SAME EXACT STORY this guy told of our future in 2000, but it was a D&G type roleplaying game’s background story, and it was a game made in 1996!

This guy came across it and messed with people all over the net… there is even a post he made on about.com forums - again - not too long ago, where someone confronted him, because they did a traceroute and found the same guy was claiming to be an alien with a totally different back story on other boards, and he actually fessed up to it after being exposed…

lol…

but needless to say, should we (the U.S.) ever really get into another civil war, I’m packing my bags and booking it… lol

I bet that dude had alot of fun :smile:

1 OF HIS LAST POSTS!!!

I am fake and Sorry:>Timetraveler23posted 10/00/24:I John Titor I am a fake my name really isnt Jonh Titor it is graig
I never went to the future and i was never from the future i just wanted some fame lol i guess i didnt get any so… this will be my last post thank you for putting up with my ****.

I have worked so hard to get this story out so i hope you guys understand that
i am sorta an outcast i have few friends,who helped me put together that “time machine”.That if you read my posts and feiwed my pics you would have seen
To explaine them the one that looks like a car that i said was a 2036 corvette
is a 89 corvette me and my friend pete found in a junkyrad and stole it.
For the other ones i took the tool carrier of my dads truck.
And the third one is just something someone else posted i dont know what that is.

I graig am i lier and i know that like 5 years from know this going to be really big
But by then i will have already blown my brains out jk ok so i guess for now untill i come back and start talkin and spreading the word later and Thank You

Even if he is for real the fact he came back in time would alter the time line, anyone knows that going back in time can alter the time line simply by standing on a bug :meh:

Titor would have to be a moron to come back in time and interact in any form.

Titor also refers say the following

why would he refer to it as that? In his era if wouldn’t be “high” tech it would be normal. So that one quote makes me disbelieve.

His time machine pictures look like something i’ve seen before but i can’t place them. (actually looks like a very old CB set)

He has given no real scientific knowledge that isn’t already freely availible on google/books though his explination of time travel requires changing a few words from certain Sci-fi programs.

his knowledge of singularities seems a little mis-informed and while creating gravity wells (black holes) seems like a logical explination there is no real way to stop everything else following you.

Why does he doubt it? he already stated that 20% don’t care about the implications of time travel - so why would he be so doubtful?

I find it interesting that he uses the terms “web” and “internet” one would think that after 30+years these terms would have changed somewhat.

He also asks why we are so interested in Bill Gates, well concidering this “Windows Longhorn” which i suggest you ALL read up about as you will find it extremely interesting. Concidering this could be a BIG turn about for OS’s he would really know why he was asked that.

– However on the total flip side of this IF he is right i can see “Windows Longhorn” being the inevitable end of Microsoft. (For those that have heard about “Windows Longhorn” and it’s planned programs built in you will know why i say that.) So that’s interesting as he said this before Longhorn was heard of. But could be nothing more than coincidence.

  • how can it be if there are wars? That ain’t fine.

he also talks about how the english language is the same with the obvious slang differences but even his slang is the same.

I don’t use this quote against JT simply against the asker “Bloody Idiot” ahem if we were to start using fibre-optics right NOW internet bandwidth would be over 1000times faster than the current fastest broadband/DSL modem. This could be implimented now and it would be cheaper than narrowband/Dialup for faster than DSL speeds, the reason phone companies won’t do it is because “it’s too much work” - so it wouldn’t take a genius to figure the answer to that question.

You don’t want to draw attention to yourself so your doing it in a public place? It’s not a big blue police phone box is it?

2Gs is less than you feel hitting the breaks on a car. The average human generally blacks out around 6-8g’s.

If anyone has seen/knows where to find these “technical specs” Titor meantions i would love to take a look at em.

The strangest thing on this Titor was those emails a group of
people from the Anomalies board gave to him, encrypted of course, for him to send to themselves in the past.

They did not recall receiving any email but strange things
happened to all of them. Odd dreams, deja vu’s etc.

Is the story over yet?

Now a guy named Alexander has posted saying he’s from 2039 and that he knew John Titor and that Titor died in 2038.

Now a person claiming to be his mother has written a book about Titor - the book is available from Amazon.com!

laughs I guess we’ll all have to wait and see won’t we. :cool:

A Corvette, a DeLorean… it’s a car on four wheels isn’t it? g

is quite sceptical about time travel

It’s something about ‘If men were able to travel through time we would have known it already’.

To me it’s pretty irrelevant. The future will come, humanity will live. Long after I’m dead trees will still grow and the wind will still blow.

Let’s hypothetically assume that he is a time traveller. Does that mean our future is written in stone? Does that mean we have no control over our lives at all? Bullshit. People create their own reality. They’re just too lazy and ignorant to pick up on that. People point to the sky and say, ‘It’s all God’s fault! Why does God tolerate so much suffering? Why doesn’t he help us?’ and they don’t realise that it’s humans who keep digging themselves and eachother a hole. Don’t look up to a higher power to find the meaning of life, and the purpose of your own life. And definitely don’t look up to someone who claims to come from 2036 to tell you just how the world will be like. We’d all wish all answers would fall out of the sky, but they don’t.

We don’t live in the past or the future, we live in the Now, in the present. This is where we can make a difference. To worry about strange predictions of the future is as pointless as dwelling on your mistakes in the past forever…

Either way, World War 3 will come about someday. I don’t need a prophet or time-traveller to tell me that. I just have to look at politics and people today, and realise that humans are doomed to forever repeat the same mistakes, that humans will always need a frigging WAR to motivate them to change anything drastic about society, only until humanity can possibly evolve beyond the point of ignorance, laziness and selfabsorbedness. WW3 will happen because humans are flawed. And it will end because humans want to survive. And history repeats itself - again.

Sorry for bumping this up, but I read the reviews on Titor’s book “A Time Traveler’s Tale” at Amazon.com. There is one that caught my eye.

hehehe… :mrgreen_hat:

I can forsee a civil war in the US in the new future, sadly…

a lot of what he said is disturbingly accurate, but he said there should be a waco-ish standoff every month in 2004, and we’ve only had like one (the prison one) that I know of…
