Now that I think of it, if you can teleport or time travel and only you go but not the things on you (as is the case with pickier stories)… losing your clothes would be the least of your worries if the countless organisms didn’t also go with you on the trip.
Sounds like philosophy of identity. What is you? Is only things with your DNA you? Will a bunch of dead hair, skin cells, and nails teleport with you? Are the things inside your body you? Is only your brain you and it will get transplanted into a new body in the future?

what about water in your cells? checking out the pyramids being built and showing up as a mummy? maybe tying time travel to biology is a bad idea
You time travel and are suddenly both very hungry and a little more bald, haha.
