    Nah, this thing with the planet moving under you is stupid because it assumes a fixed reference frame which is not a thing in our universe. Any movement is always relative to something. You can’t just “stay in place”. Having the Earth move from under you is very arbitrary.

      Yeah, these jokes always assume a jump back in time, not some sort of rewinding for just the traveler.
