The appearance of these rifts was accompanied by shockwaves, which caused all sorts of strange things to happen. An uncompleted cannon appeared at the foot of [[Seaside Town]], the [[Penguin Mafia]] managed to escape to the present, and a rift inside [[Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage]] linked the building to a time when [[Hagnk's Mostly-Burned-Down Ancestral Mini-Storage|everything was on fire]].

By travelling back in time at the [[The Nearby Plains in the Distant Past|Nearby Plains]], you can see how things were in the distant past, such as visiting [[The Cake-Shaped Arena|Susie the Arena Mistress]] when she was a [[Susie's Cupcake Stand|child]], [[The Misspelled Cemetary]] when it wasn't so [[The Cemetery|misspelled]] or even [[the Perfectly Ordinary Pickle Factory]]. All of these locations have no real purpose or gain, except for the [[A Battlefield|The Cola Wars Battlefield]], where rare and useful items such as Dyspepsi-Cola and Cloaca-Cola [[Dyspepsi-Cola helmet|equipment]] and [[Cloaca grenade|grenades]].

Adventurers who jump through this rift can observe the origins of the [[Susie's Cupcake Stand|Cake-Shaped Arena]], the [[The Cemetery|Misspelled Cemetary]] or even the legendary [[The Perfectly Ordinary Pickle Factory|Spectral Pickle Factory]].

While the past is all well and good, the view of the Kingdom's future was horrifying. At the rise of the Gray Plague, the Council of Loathing predicted that the plague would cause [[Zombie zmobie|zombification]], and mass chaos, including a widescale nuke blast to try to resolve the situation. Adventurers were sent on a quest into the [[Seaside Town, 28 Days Later|future]] to retrieve a [[zombie pineal gland|key ingredient]] in the vaccine against the plague. Once the plague was extinct, the Council's homemade rift closed for good, and most of the others followed suit as time repaired itself.

Time Travel is a feature of the Kingdom which first appeared after The Great Time Catastrophe, also known as White Wednesday. In order to time travel, adventurers must locate a Temporal Rift and simply leap through it. This does not take any adventures.

The rifts originally led to locations in the distant past, the recent past, and the as-yet-unimplemented future. During the time of the Gray Plague, The Council of Loathing were somehow able to create a rift of their own, leading to a time 28 days later. The worst problem was a rift inside Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage which linked the building to a time when everything was on fire.

Time has a way of healing itself, and all but one of the rifts have since closed. The remaining one in The Nearby Plains now only opens under grave circumstances. Adventurers who jump through this rift can observe the origins of the Cake-Shaped Arena, the Misspelled Cemetary or even the legendary Spectral Pickle Factory. The only area to adventure, though, is The Cola Wars Battlefield, where useful items such as Dyspepsi-Cola and Cloaca-Cola uniforms, grenades and even New Cloaca-Cola can be obtained and brought back to the future.
