Have you ever the desire to go into the past... and how about the future? Where and when?

I think it would be sweet if we could somehow sneak into famous (and infamous) concerts through time.

I'd go into the past and tell 20-something year old me to not get fat; I imagine if then-me could see now-me, he'd be scared straight skinny. I'd also give myself some stock information; not so much as to make me obscenely wealthy, just enough so I could retire at age 45 if I wanted to.

I'd go into the future maybe 1000 years to see if humanity ever got its shit together (I figure if any humanity-ending event is going to happen, it's going to happen in the next 1000 years. Likely less). And also to see if we ever got those flying cars they said we'd have by 1997.

Ultimately I wouldn't do too much. Things happen, well...not so much for a reason, but things happen and stuff results for that and we make it work, I don't think it's my place to change that, to say "I know better, here let me fix this". I'd just focus on a bit of wellness for myself, and satisfy my curiosity for the future and to see if my optimism is well founded or not.

I think about this shit daily to a unhealthy degree it just makes me depressed AF because I can't go back in time and fix all the shit I caused mainly to myself and stupid things I did. I would do anything to go back to the late 90's knowing what I know now and do things different I took my health for granted like alot of people and now I'm f*cked with permanent health issues and guilt.

I would love to take a time hopping comic shopping trip.

Concerts from before my time would be awesome too. Stones, Beatles, Hendrix and the Doors to start.

Nothing drastic that could change the timeline (I hope).

the key is to think about the shit you're doing NOW that future you will want to come back to today and punch you in the face for.

i'd definitely take the trip to future-ville. i'd be curious to see if humans ever get practical immortality figured out and maybe get an upgrade :)

it would also be interesting to see how people view our current times through their lens of history.

I'd probably go back in time to when I was younger, maybe my teenage years. Relive life again, and make different life decisions along the way.

That's a thought I've had for a long time. And then a few years ago, I came across a Japanese manga and French movie adaptation about a similar concept. Seems to be an under-explored story concept.

In the 80s, I would check to see if I was a cool kid in it - therefore, that means that I'm asking questions likes *who's better than who* or *does 5 me's beat this guy* DBZ-GT style.

Personally I wouldn't do anything different and just time things when I see them. I wouldn't do anything dare-defiant style. Nothing that I'd alter.
