Advanced Contraption Theory 9000

The Counterintuitive Contraption Design Committee presents its most ambitious project yet: The Inflatable, Self-Propelled, Temporal Discombobulation Device (ISTD). A machine so complex, so bewildering, so utterly confounding, that it will make your head spin like a top.

But fear not, dear engineer! The ISTD is designed to be user-friendly, with a simple interface that's as intuitive as a box of wet socks. Just input your desired temporal displacement, press the big red button, and voilĂ ! You'll be... well, somewhere else.

Disclaimer: The ISTD is not intended for actual use. It's just a thought experiment, a thought-provoking, sanity-testing exercise in futility. Or is it?
