Sometime in the future you do something that nearly wipes out human civilization. Time travelers have attempted to stop you by ending your life, but somehow, unknowingly, you have managed to dodge all of their attempts. Finally, one time traveler has decided to confront you directly.
"This is the turning point."
"What the HELL are you talking about?!"
"You cannot continue down this path."
"I just want my fuckin' coffee man."
"Have you even thought about why so many times you've had near death experiences?"
"No! I just thought I was really unlucky."
"That time on the ferris wheel with your crush...."
"The reason I refuse to go on any ferris wheel ever again, yes?"
"That was my friend's doing. You still somehow survived, and he was crushed under the pod."
"Yeah ok WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!"
"You are... unaware...?"
"You're standing between me and a coffee machine. What am I supposed to be aware of?"
"This causes the end of the world."
"Yeah right. It's a fucking coffee machine."
"This is the point that it cannot be reversed from."
"You said that already. Also, this whole 'heroic' attitude is not cool. You just sound crazy."
"PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T GET THE COFFEE!!"
"You got something else for me to drink? Preferably caffinated?"
"Uh..."
The person standing between me and the coffee machine upended their bag, dumping all kinds of items (All of which I did not recognize, presumably because they were from the future.) onto the ground.
"I've got... I've got a bottle of water from 3000 years in the future."
"Yeah sure."
I take the water.
It looks like water.
It sounds like water.
It tastes like water...
And the world ends.
