This is what I thought as well.
If I picked Hitler (because that’s the mandatory first choice) I’d be preventing WW2, which my Grandpa fought in. That would definitely affect my existence in some way.
I feel like Trump’s influence between his birth and mine wouldn’t have a direct impact on my parents’ actions.
Then you find out you were conceived in a trump hotel.
Oh shit! After flying in with Trump air and having Trump steak.
Even if that were true, I doubt my parents would’ve chosen it because it was a trump hotel. If it were any other hotel, they probably would’ve still chosen it for the same reasons they originally did.
Someone in the comments said if you kill somebody you also kill any children they might have. I’m going to second your motion.
My birthgiver than, I’m doing it intentionally
It’s been discussed here much better than I could, but I concur with, you pretty much can’t.
The slightest change would cause ripple effects that would affect almost everything.
Everyone always gravitates to the big names… Hitler, Trump, Elmo… But even the most possible mundane person, such as an Inuit baby born to parents in the remotest part of the Arctic 200 years ago, would be enough to cause changes that could easily keep you from being born.
Trump’s impact is recent enough it probably wouldn’t make me unborn. There’s a good chance removing Hitler would change things though.

without inadvertently making it so you were never born?
I dunno, getting rid of the My Pillow guy might be worth it anyway.
Well, imagine you’re trying to do the most good. Assuming you can’t take them all out at once because the power doesn’t work that way, maybe it does but how would you know? You would to see how many of these cancers you could knock off before you hit yourself by accident.
I remove a bee that stung one of the young parents of the man that disabled me altering the parent’s biology and life just enough to alter which sperm is successful or cycle they are in effectively removing him from the timeline of a miserable life as a political refugee while having the cognitive capacity of a third grader. I stop his long line of destruction from living in a place where driving is required to survive, and there is no viable alternative for those that lack sufficient capability to perform the task. It is impossible for most of us to comprehend what a first generation driver is really like when we were born into driving culture. Some people were not, and their logic can lack a fundamental grounding that we take for granted.
I remove Charles Sawell. Terrible President.
No screw it I’m removing myself. Only way to be rid of this insanity
Oh shit before I was born ok I guess my father for the same reason.
Define “from before I was born”.
Does that mean, “born before I was” or “died before I was born”?
I believe what I mean is, “was alive before you were born”
That does not answer the question. Did the person have to die before you were born or not? “Was” implies that they have to have died, but this could be a language barrier thing.
It’s not meant to be restrictive. They can be alive today. They just can’t be born after you were born.
Just a reminder to people: if you remove anyone who has (or will have) children, from a certain moral perspective you’re responsible for them never existing, which could be considered akin to murder. Just take that into account in your considerations. Might make this a much thornier question, ethically, for some.
Some of us are fine with murder when it comes to the relative outcomes. If I can murder someone to save 100 lives (and there’s no doubt at all that it would), I wouldn’t even flinch before driving the knife into their skull.
In this hypothetical, we already know our targets body-count. So it’s easy to make the math work.
Personally, I’d remove Ronald Regan.
That’s just sophistry. You can’t kill people who never existed in the first place.
