What if Nachos Broke Time?

“What if you went back in time… to give yourself nachos?”

It’s Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day, and while some people are busy imagining hovercars and medieval castles, we’re asking the truly important question: What happens when you travel back in time to give yourself a full plate of nachos? Answer: A paradox so cheesy it could unravel the fabric of the universe.

Picture this: Future You bursts into the kitchen, triumphantly holding a plate of nachos—crispy chips, molten queso, salsa, and guac, all perfectly balanced. “These nachos will change your life,” they say. But wait—where did the nachos come from? You don’t remember making them. You just ate them. Or… are about to?

The Infinite Nacho Paradox: If Future You brings Past You nachos, but Past You never made them, where did the nachos come from? Did you invent nachos? Did they invent themselves? Are the nachos caught in a temporal loop where they always existed, but never didn’t? It’s the kind of circular logic that makes your head spin—and your queso slide right off the chip.

And let’s not forget the real danger: What happens if Past You eats the nachos, decides they’re too perfect to exist, and refuses to share the recipe with Future You? Would the nacho timeline collapse in on itself, leaving humanity snackless forever?

So, this Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day, embrace the paradox. Go back in time, give yourself nachos, and marvel at the cheesy chaos you’ve created. Just remember: time travel may be messy, but nachos never are (as long as you have extra napkins).
