Despite Groening and Cohen's intentions, time travel has become quite common in the Futurama universe. Unfortunately the manner in which time is travelled varies between occurrences. This article examines all manners of time travel used and paradoxes that may or may not have been caused by them.
Chronological
Chronological time travel is the simplest form, as it requires no technological involvement, everyone everywhere already travels through time at a rate of one second per second. Spending your time in a hole in the ground may provide the illusion of non-chronological travel to others. Technology for this has been invented however, such as the cryotubes that allowed Fry to reach the 30th Century and Farnsworth's attempted time machine from The Continuum Less Travelled.
Time Skip
A time skip is a variation on chronological travel, wherein the traveller and area inwhich they are located lives their life for a period of time but then forgets whatever happened in the skip no matter how life changing the event was. Chronitons are known to cause time skips.
Time Tunnel
Nexus Point
