A question and my answer: If you could go back in time 50 years and show one photo to someone, what would you do

I would contact a random science fiction writer from 1972

and show them this photo from my apartment building's elevator

and just DARE them to guess what that means

do we smoke BATTERIES now

who was the president in 1972? nixon? he doesn't deserve to see sandalphon so there goes that idea

"youre telling me they ban a refreshing cigarette, which 6 out of 10 doctors recommend???"

first they have to wrap their mind around not smoking somewhere

literally my initial intepretation of your answer was

"so they write a dark story about a dystopia in which smoking is banned?"

anyway I would show Ronald Reagan a screenshot from Cloverfield where the Statue of Liberty's head is torn off and say it was real and it's the result of his presidency

what's he gonna do, assume it's fake? he doesn't know about CGI

fucking idiot

OH or a shot from Independence Day
