I have been here before. I have seen this before. 1996. This is the guy with the hand held TV.
I felt a chill and then heat. I looked down at my phone. It was a flat TV just like his. Then it was my stop. I looked at the man as I walked off the streetcar. He continued to watch his movie. Perhaps for infinity and across dimensions.
Karina - my favorite handheld tv from those times was this little beauty : https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/casio_color_lcd_tv_tv_7500.html - which actually worked pretty well - I thought I might still have it - but after some hours now of looking in places not looked in for a very long time, I have to conclude that it - like so many other peripheral things in my life - simply got lost en route, never to be seen again - which is a shame - but your memory would not necessarily be that far wrong ! Even way further back in the early 80's I had a small tv monitor that was all hooked up to a VHS video player *in my car* !! I actually used that car (a lovely gold colored Range Rover ) touring with a rock and roll band around Europe (we actually supported David Bowie over a series of European shows in 1983 as part of that tour !) - and the video player was great for keeping everyone quiet on long trips. Everything was wonderful with the set-up, until we got back to London, and within 24 hours, some nice local had broken in to the car and stolen the video player - typical !!! Happy days remembered - although as I am finding out, the memories I recall are not always accurate to the reality of the time, but hey we are allowed to remember things the way we want to are we not ? And such is one way of reading your story here !!
That casio is fancy! Definately a cool gadget at the time. Too bad about the VCR being stolen. I don't know what I saw, maybe someone had one of these fancy gadgets. It irritated me to no end that my dad nor the electronics stores I went to knew anything.There was no internet as it is now for me to look it up. I should have just asked the guy. When I got on the street car years later and had the deja vu, it could have been some guy that looked the same. Everyone has a device now. Who knows. Google makes things so easy now to look everything up.
Heck, I’d actually encourage you to reach out and share your story with them. They’ve recently done quite a few stories about time/dimensional slips, clairvoyance and visions of the future.
I’ve also experienced phenomena similar to yours though it wasn’t a time slip. Just weird.
Subscribed for this "Glitch In The Matrix" series (but excited for the rest). I was HOOKED on this (also I love shit like this). Far out, you told this brilliantly. So, so damn interesting. When is the next edition coming out???
Sorry but as someone with a really good idea of how the technology works, what you’re dealing with is either misremembering a dream you had or your eyes played tricks on you.
The technology for a flat screen simply didn’t exist back then. Remember Gameboys? That was the best and closest to flat screen technology they had at the time. It was basically an LED that could light up one colour and needed I believe 4 double a batteries which would last like a couple of days. The Gameboy Color came out in Japan in 98 and there’s be no TV on it. The ability to keep the show you’d watch on a file didn’t exist. They were still using floppy disks and were just starting to record information on CD’s. DVD’s came out in Japan the same year you think you saw this technology, and DVD readers were not small, not by a long shot. So it couldn’t have been able to have anything to watch on it on hardware, and wifi didn’t exist either. So the screen didn’t exist, there wouldn’t have been anything to watch on it, and it had no way to be powered without going through like 100 batteries a day.
You misremembered something. It happens. I just watched a South Park episode where I was 100% sure Cesar Millan has sex with Cartman’s mom but it never happened. I simply misremembered the episode. Brains are weird like that.
Thanks for that. I didn't think it existed. This is why it was so strange. As for the episode (I haven't watched South Park for years) maybe it is an episode that hasn't been written yet. Maybe it will! Imagine that.

I love 'deja vu' moments :)
Check out an Australian podcast called Mysterious Universe. Stuff like what you experienced happens more often than you’d think.
Thanks!

This is just one of a few stories. I got some other ones coming!
Looking forward to it! ;)
Maybe I’ll share my own encounters with weirdness.
Please do, and let me know!

That was an amazing story. I had the same TV VCR.
I used to also party at Savage Garden :) Loved Queen STreet :)
You did see a Time traveler.
