Interesting thought, the Nimitz goes back to 1941. It didnt make light of it in the flick but the captain just became the most powerful man in the world. Think how the world might be different if this really happened.

The Final Countdown (1980)

America's most powerful nuclear-run aircraft carrier is transported back in time to December 6, 1941, hours prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

And think if one of todays went back to 1980.

The 1980 crew would whip their asses and laugh at them for all the rainbow flags and buttsex in the showers…

The correct answer is... No time traveler should do jack shit at Pearl Harbor. It brought us into the war. If we hadn't entered, things would have been much different. The war would have gone on for far longer, or you'd be speaking German. Pearl Harbor was an event that needed to happen exactly the way it did.

Japan had declared war on the US and was simultaneously attacking US territories (Phillipines, Wake Island, etc.) concurrent to Pearl Harbor, so the US would have been in regardless.
Now, let's change the plot-line of the movie to where the carrier isn't returned to the present just as attack was getting underway, would you commit to fending off the Japanese air armada, or would you go after the carriers of the Kidō Butai and, preempting the Battle of Midway, take away Japan's ability to operate in the Pacific in 1941?
And, still not returning the carrier to the present, FDR could have entered into war with Germany with the nukes already aboard the Nimitz. He could have brought the war to an end in just a few months, and without having to ally himself with the Soviets.

What makes you think that FDR thought an alliance with fellow socialists was a bad thing? His ideas and policies weren't so different than stalins. Maybe not so much murdering millions of jews and undesirables but more of the control and squeezing the people for power and money. He was just as evil as them....

Post-war, political alignment, who knows?
But, in 1941, Soviets would have still been on the back foot after German invasion. If US had ended the war per our movie scenario, US/GB could have negotiated in a re-do (pre-do ?) of Potsdam Accords without Stalin.

I have one that visits my front door almost nightly… I used to shoot on sight but no more… now I enjoy them.

There is a study going on outside. DC where there are a lot of foxes in the Potomac green belt… watching them get more and more friendly towards humans. The study is essentially looking at how dogs were domesticated tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago. It may have been more “mutual” than was always assumed.

Dogs and cats saw safety and food around humans and humans saw pest control and their grain stocks saved from rodents. Thus began a beautiful relationship!!!

Unless it’s foaming at the mouth or eating your chickens… enjoy the visits!! Foxes are cool and super smart critters!

General rule, which there's always exceptions to.
If you have a fox that is residential to your area there's usually no coyote in the area. They both have the same diet but the fox is smart enough to not be a meal.

Got a pair in the back of the property, they have a couple of kits every year that I’ve paid attention to them. Never had my chickens killed or any yard animals harassed. They played a game with the wiff and I one night. They would chipper and bark like our Boston terrier and then run ahead of us to do it again. I would whistle back and it drove them nuts. I’ve only seen one coyote on our place and he was a juvenile, it wasn’t around long
