You can go back in time, what would you do?

[Nickolai77]

Taking both serious and non-serious suggestions here.

I would learn Latin and a bit of ancient Greek and then see the Collossus of Rhodes before it's collapse, and go to a genuine Renaissance fair and perhaps a masked ball too. I would watch the Pyramids being constructed and get drunk in a Saxon tavern. I might, for a laugh, scare the shit out of them with a mobile phone. The temptation to see how the ancients react to modern technology is there, but it may also be dangerous too...I would carry a concealed pistol just in case. If anything it would scare any bandits away.

I would also take a walk around 1940's Birkenhead, England. A large town near where i live and where my grandparents as teenagers survived the war. Seeing the bomb damage would be pretty interesting. I would also see my home town in the middle ages, and take a walk around Roman Chester just to see what's where and how the city has transformed over the years.

So yeah, i have a pretty long and varied list as to what i would do. What would you do?

A mobile phone? Pfft... I can scare the shit out of Egyptians and Saxons or Romans with a cigarette lighter.

 

[rokkolpo]

i'd steal some major invention making me stinking rich.

THIS IS MY BOOM STICK!!!!!

 

[Arkvoodle]

Buy stock in Microsoft and/or Apple.



or maybe give Uwe Boll's parents a condom.

 

[drbarno]

I would go back in time so I could kick myself in the nuts.

 

[Subzerowings]

I 'unno. Something easy like murdering Hitler while he was a baby and killing of all leaders I don't like with an AK47.
Nero and Caligula would be first on my list.
I'd probably rescue Caesar for teh lulz.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well i woundlt want to tamper with time...but other then fix my mistakes i would..... Tell the watch guys that it is StoneWall not Yankees, just to see if my theory that the war would have gone another way and the Confederacy would win. Ummmmm I would probably witness Jesus' miracles.

 

[Lavi]

Anywhere pre-colonialism where we literally have no records.

 

[Paksenarrion]

Introduce Scientology to Greek and Roman civilizations, and finance my secret island base from which I will gather the ancient world's most brilliant minds. We'll have electronic devices and modern alloys thousands of years before they were invented.

 

[Furious Styles]

Invent rock and roll

 

[Giest4life]

Kill Jesus, if only to see the chaos that will follow, and how grand humanity will emerge.

 

[smearyllama]

I guess I'd go back to when....

Oh, screw it. I would use my time traveling abilities to go on a journey similar to Chrono Trigger. Hell yeah!

But if you kill Hitler then he never existed so you never needed go back in time to kill him so he'd still be alive and then you would back to kill him but the he never existed so you never needed go back in time to kill him so he'd still be alive and then you would back to kill him...

...I think we have a paradox on our hands...


...I'll solve it...

...in time...

 

[DeASplode]

I would go back to August this year when things were good and then I'd make sure they stayed good.

That or go back in time and get a pet T-rex.

 

[MrSmish]

I'd fuck your mother.


Hello son.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Nothing because I would probably end up ruining the present.

 

[The_Chief]

i'd use it just to see who my real mother was.

 

[pspman45]

witness the big bang, then post it on facebook and youtube

 

[iLikeHippos]

If I would go back in time, I suppose I'd make the best of it, wherever I went to.

... Wait a minute... Doesn't everyone smell like putrid dogshit from the 1800 and counting down?
(I... Haven't read up much about it though. Sorry.)

If something I'd change is, I'd make sure my grand grand father would be the inventor of Jeans!

Than I would just have to hope the patent would hold together until present day and be a rich mother effer.
