If you travelled in time. Even for a short period of time either way. If you did, you would reappear in space.
Earth spins around itself. But it also spins around the sun. Then our solar system is moving in the galaxy (whichever way I do not know) and the galaxy is moving away from the center of the universe.
I can’t pull the exact speeds out. But they are staggeringly fast. Traveling a second through time would more than likely kill you. My guess is guaranteed death, but again, numbers
A day? You’d be in space.
This is why time travelled parties are so dull, nobody can find them.

@yon@sakurajima.moe honestly if you have the technological ability and energy needed to upend causality and travel through the 4th dimension, a simultaneous move in the 3rd dimension is probably pretty trivial. File under “if your civilization can make a car, they can probably make a pretty good bike too”

@yon@sakurajima.moe You're kind of overlooking the fact that we, too, are moving through space, and doing so at the same speed as the Earth's surface. So, even if you were freed from the confines of gravity, you would still be moving laterally at the same speed as the ground. And so would any device or portal you were utilising. There's no reason to treat the timd travel device as stationary in space.
And that's ignoring the fact that "stationary" is an inherently relative term. You always measure velocity relative to a reference point, and the universe has no universal standard for this. There is no background, stationary coordinate system underpinning space. The question of where Earth was yesterday is totally meaningless without pointint to some other object in space.
