now I know where all those odd socks went
You time traveled in order to complete the missing sets ?
That's what I mean when I say time travel would likely already have affected whatever future you live in now. The act of you missing socks made you go mad with desire to create the time machine! Your mad desire bring to a time when you had two socks, and rather than wait to see where they go you take your socks, now you are happy that you have a complete pair of socks, but as it turns out you're the reason why you lost your sock in the first place!
Of course the issue against this thinking, is that you would be able to create a paradox, i.e. kill yourself, but if you kill yourself how do you go back in time from a future point in order to kill yourself? Does the universe just hickup? does the universe actively conspire to stop you?
Eh... regardless, I'm going to send myself the powerball and various other lottery numbers from all the major jackpots for the next 10 years, getting all that money will give me the resources to build ... a time machine! (no one steal my idea, I'll go back in time and kick you in the nuts!)
