My first thought was to go back to high school and tell myself to fucking pay attention and not fuck about.
Then i plumped for going back before bill gates robbed the idea for windows and beat him to it!

Well, as much as I love the past, I'd hate to be stuck in it. As for the future, it could be worse then now. I'll stay right where I am thank you.
Go back in time a week, burst into Derren Browns studio just before he announces the lottery numbers, announce them first and cockslap him. Cheating bastard....
September 2005. Research the winning lotto numbers for that time. Win lots and lots of money. Go to my college, and find myself. Give myself a large chunk of cash to live a life of luxary with, and explain to myself that I need to go to the time machine and travel back to this point. That way, either he becomes me, condensing me into 1 entity in the same time period, or I become effectively immortal. I hide the money in an account, and live my life the way I normally did, with a few key changes regarding...ahem...women. Definitely end up with a certain girl, ace all my classes because I already took them, become wildly successful based mainly on my future knowledge, and then reveal the money and live a awesome life, here and now, with all of the people I know.
Well, then you'll meet up with yourself somehow because you only went forward a week, or maybe you didn't because if you went into the future, would all of you go or would it be like Click where you're put on auto-pilot or something or maybe... OH NO YOU'VE CREATED A TIME PARADOX!ArcWinter said:
I would go to a time when it's cool to wear a leather jacket.
I think the recent past is the obvious choice, the future is unpredictable and you can always invest in stocks you know well, make alot of money, etc.
Is it sad that I have researched and understand enough 'alchemy' that if I found myself back in time I could prove the principles of black power weapons?frank220 said:I would take a shit load of guns to the Medieval period and raise an army and conquer Europe
75, 15, 10 I believe.... Carbon, potassium nitrate, surfer. Or in the old tongue: Charcoal, Saltpetre, brimstone.
I don't want to take over the world, but being a very strongly placed 'lord' in charge of production of rifled long arms would be a very powerful position in any kingdom.
Probably back before my grandpa died. He died right before I was born and everyone in my family tells me that we were exactly the same. I don't know what I would say to him, but getting to meet him at least once would be worth it. It would also be nice to see my grandma one more time while I was at it. I know it's not really a cool answer, but I just can't think of a time I'd want to go to more. After that I would just start my life over again and live it like normal but maybe taking a few extra risks along the way.
To 1992 to see me being born, and punch my dad in the face for leaving my mom. Also be the head of Sega.
