The 'Time Traveler Conversation' meme is a dialogue-based format that relies on the dramatic irony of a time traveler knowing something the person in the past does not. Usually structured as a script or a multi-panel comic strip, it features a traveler asking about a specific event to gauge the current timeline, leaving the listener confused or terrified. The meme gained significant traction on platforms like Reddit and Twitter around 2019, often used to mock current events, delayed game releases, or global crises. Its versatility lies in the 'setup and punchline' structure, allowing users to project their own anxieties or hopes for the future onto a relatable, conversational template that highlight's the traveler's accidental spoilers.
