I’ll go first.
3 options
- Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
- Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
- Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.
What are yours?
EDIT: I’ll clarify: You can’t affect the timeline. It means you cant go back to try to get rich with stocks, lottery, etc. It’s like going to see a movie, when you come back the world will be exactly the same. You can interact with people, but in the end, the day you spend in the past will not have existed for anyone but you, in your memories.
Ops mom.
I’d try to meet the Buddha, and see if he could shed some of that instant enlightenment on me. In the stories, he seemed to be able to say just the right thing to people to wake them up out of the matrix.
My first answer was “buy Apple stock” but no effect on the time line probably means I don’t make any money. (well wait, what about enlightenment then, does that come with me?)
Since I’m in tremendous pain from an inner ear infection; I would CLOSE THAT DAMN WINDOW!
No no no, that would have severe consequences on the timeline. You have to endure that.
Once again the faith of the Timeline is decided by my inner ear 😔
So many bands I’d love to see! But that’s somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that’dhave to be possible or else it’dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans… but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed…chomp!
Or perhaps just see my dad again :)
Oh, not back to yesterday? Back to any time/place for a day?
I think it would be too hard to access any of these events or people - you’d go back then just end up in jail or something. I would like to see the moon though, so if it’s a literal anything is possible situation I’ll hitch along with those guys, on the first moon landing.
All good answers, but the simple fact you were not self centered but curious and asked what OP would do back, made your answer great. Thank you. Up vote freely given.
I’d go back to fuck at a Roman bath house in ancient times. Fuck it, no regrets.
I’d like to go back many times to earlier in my life and try different dialogue options.
Like that time you thought of the perfect comeback two days later?
Or just learn how people act and react. If I say this, they react that way. Now if I say that how do they react?
I think it’d be neat to go to like 10,000 BC and just live a day in the life of some tribe/ancient city.
Killjoy: If there are no consequences there can be no memory of the event either. Our own future (from the time of returning from the past) would almost certainly diverge from the path of no knowledge otherwise, and that would be a consequence.
As such, every one of us might already have this ability, we just don’t remember doing it.
I think they meant no influence on the target timeline, not that you’d forget about the event.
My post, my rules lol! The timeline is identical, but you remember what you did during those 24 hours.
Gonna go see some dinosaurs
What if you went back and the dinosaurs all just spoke perfectly understandable English but with a British accent? Nobody would ever believe you when you came back since “all of the science” suggests that dinosaurs didn’t speak modern English with British accents.
Go back to 1986 and slip a morning after pill in my mom’s drink… Oh wait, no consequences? Fuck me…
Ideas like this is how you end up becoming your own father.
So many people want to not be born… Hope you guys are just jocking.
Haha yeah, I’m joking, haha, the PTSD and depression are my favorite hobbies, this world is such a happy place and totally is not going to shit, I love it so much haha 🥲
I know that everything seems to sucks these days, but some things are worth it in the end. Good luck, take care.
Yeah, I have 3 kittens <3
Thanks! I’ll probably survive
“I’m garbage and should die LOL” is like 80% of millennial humor. They are a painfully unfunny generation.
I would [REDACTED] so that no one has to deal with this shit.
Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.
The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I’d have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.
What I do redacted.
Good luck with the bookies paying out. Had betway refuse to pay out a £500 bet once. Deleted my account with them shortly after.
There was a huge worry about this at the time, but considering the odds were so large, there were maybe 2-3 people that had actually made this bet that kept it after Jan. If they were to not pay out they’d have worldwide exposure and every other bookie taking their business.
I could finally ride every ride at Disneyland.
Oh, I thought you meant just repeat the same day that just happened. I did not understand the question.
Still a solid answer, though, even not understanding the assignment.
