If you had a time machine, where would you go and what would you do?

I'd go to the future where holodecks exist and run all of Reginald Barclay's programs.

Go back 375 million years and either shoot this motherf***er, or force it back into the water before it ruined everything.

Warn myself that I'm going to me in the future.

After a few bets it's off to the past to amass the greatest comic collection ever.

I would time travel to the restaurant at the end of the universe. I would like to experience the dinner and show for myself.

I would go back and prevent the firing of Jeff Gerstmann and crew.

Go to the 1980s hardcore scene in NY, or relive the 90s as a teen/early 20s. Basically go anywhere before social media ruined socializing.

BRB, gotta go update my fb status, post some ig pics and reply to some Snapchat’s after replying to some e mails.

I would love to go back to 1999 as long as I get my old body back maybe I could transfer my conscious into it and then I can prevent myself from doing alot of stupid mistakes to say the least. I also would go see Office Space, The Matrix and Deep Blue Sea at the movie theater. I would put some stock into Amazon and Ebay etc... not very exciting I know but I wish I could go back more then anything.

That is a damn good idea. A time hopping concert tour. I was a teen in the 90's. Too young for the 80's hardcore scene and on the wrong coast, but I loved me some Gorilla Biscuits, Sick Of It All and Minor Threat. I'd have to start in the 60's and work my way to the present musically. A lot of dead musicians I'd love to see. Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Bon Scott and Randy Rhoads off the top of my head.

November 5, 1955.

Same:

I will go by About Time rules where I can just travel to points I experienced in my past, do what the dad did, read all the books I wanna read, play every game I never got to play, learn to play every musical instrument, get laid a bunch. Groundhog Day rules might be cool, if I was in right place at right time, and it doesn't decide to end the time loop because I was too much a miserable assbole one day.

go back to 1861 and supply the Confederacy with modern weapons

go back to 1861 and supply the Confederacy with modern weapons

Go back and warn Hitler that he will lose the war.

Just kidding.

Honestly, watched Star Trek too much to be aware of Prime Directive of contaminating time, be shit scared to change anything, your mere presence would be enough.

But, I guess if it was some weird alternate timeline, Leonardo Da Vinci. Probably be like a handshake or something.

I'd go back in time maybe 17 years and give my past self some advice:

1. Don't get fat.

2. I'd tell him some key dates and good stock picks and give him 10k dollars to invest.

That's it. Seems simple and maybe a little petty but I would be the happiest person in the world if I wasn't fat and I was better off financially.

One last thing I'd do is go 100 years in the future, just to see if humanity ever got its shit together; right now I'd say I am an optimistic nihilist, but I'm ready to go full-blown cynical misanthrope and would like to be OK with it.

Pretty much this.

Will try to see and enjoy my childhood.

Bring back all the animals that we hunted to extinction and kill the person who created Christianity before they could spread their bs.

I'd go meet up with Heron of Alexandria and launch the industrial revolution, then come back here to see what's up.

I know TT is a bit of a joke thread, but if I actually had a time machine I’d do the following:

Firstly, immediately concur with HEATHEN75’s idea.

After I’ve manipulated the odds to my financial benefit and settled into a comfortable life, as I’m chronically ill, travel far enough into the future to find remedies for my ailments. Perhaps get rid of this curse of an unhealthy body and take a new youthful form if possible.

Then off to history.

•want to see the breadth of the Normandy invasion, Gettysburg, Thermopylae

•signing of the Declaration

•visit Rome, Egypt and Persia at the height of their civilizations.

•visit feudal Japan and England

•go back to Jesus’ time so I could get a firsthand account and settle this nonsense once and for all

To start.

I’d go back and stop myself from unhealthy lifestyle I lived as a teenager and early 20’s and try to live life a bit better. Tell myself to stay in school or go to trade school. I pretty much screwed myself present time from how I used to be.

2008. Put all my savings in Bitcoin.

red letter date in the history of science i hear.

you're all missing the snag where time travel doesn't mean location travel.

moving to a new time means blipping into space to a spot earth is no longer ( or not yet ) in

@comp_atkins: Well... If I have enough time I can travel there. :D

Well glad you could join us, Old Man Peabody.

You'd end up owing all of BTC and it would stay worthless.

travel far enough into the future and it's going to be worthless again.

you space bastard!

Go back to the UK music scene late 70's/early 80's and see some bands starting out.

Of course, there are many historical events that might be cool to check out as well. But that's my number one.
