I wouldn't kill Hitler. Too many big, bad, possible ramifications.

For some reason I fixated on the "1945 was LOUD" part, and couldn't figure out why that was funny.

QUOTE I wouldn't kill Hitler. Â Too many big, bad, possible ramifications.
I figure, with the butterfly effect and all, people shouldn't travel back in time before their own conception.
I'm not even talking about events happening that stop your parents from meeting, it's a lot more complicated than that.
That is, your father produces billions of sperm and the exact right one has to be introduced at the exact right time and place to create you.
One slight change, one extra jostle of the junk or one extra thrust and one of the billions of *other* sperm could fertilize the egg and then there is no you.
...which I guess creates a paradox.
That makes me wonder. If Hitler was never conceived, how many of the people born in the last 40 years in our timeline would exist in that no-Hitler timeline?

Probably fewer overall. Â Sure many wouldn't have died in the war, but then you also don't get a baby boom. Â And no baby boom then no 60s hippys. Â No 60s hippys then no new age trippys, and no new age trippys then no older tech designers like Steve Jobs having the right mindset to create Apple consumer products and the like.
That's right. Â If you stop Hitler, you also stop the iPhone. Â Take that.

No Hitler, no WWII, no Steve Jobs' adoptive mom's (Clara) first husband dying in the war... no Steve Jobs being adopted by the Jobs.

You know entirely too much about the family history of Steve Jobs.
