The usual. Invest in bitcoin, not get married, become a girl 20 years earlier. Just common stuff.
You already were a girl 20 years earlier. Srs/ga stuff/hrt or no.
So many dead billionaires and political figures… just like… a ludicrous amount.
What’s a billionaire?
A worthless parasite that devours and destroys the lives of working people.
I think they were making a joke from the perspective of the future the OC made.
Time travel.
Come on, can’t ask this kind of question without giving us the rules.
Paradox free? Does the future change? Do I go as my current self or is age adjusted? Do I keep my current knowledge and memories and skills? Do I get to go back? Do I get multiple tries to get the optimal outcome?
So many variables with these kinds of hypotheticals, I can’t give you any meaningful answer without general outlines of the rules. Can’t play the game if I don’t know the rules.
Taking this way too seriously. Just take the other responses as examples.
I mean, that’s what makes it fun? Do you play games without rules too? In my mind, it’s not worth much thought if there’s no rules to it. Otherwise you could just say “I will go into the future where they’ve invented how to become a god and then come back with my godlike powers and do whatever I want.”
it’s the wishing-for-more-wishes kind of boring thing to do. Boundaries and restrictions breed creativity. That’s what’s fun for me.
Sometimes this is how other people have fun with it
Do you over analyse every question someone asks you ?
Find Nigel Farage in the field after he survived his 2014 plane crash and… change that.
Possibly saving the country from Brexit even getting to referendum status, and if it did, possibly changing the result. And then maybe preventing the revolving door Tory governments that fucked up the initial Covid response, since most of what they’ve done over the last decade has been to try and swing voters away from UKIP/Reform rather then actually do things that are good fit the country as a whole.
Transition at a younger age. Would have saved me a lot of hurt in the years between
Easy, make sure I was never born.
straight to the paradox, not playing around
Hitler, is that you?
Man, I’d print so much time…
I would use it once and promptly die in the coldness of space
Damn that’s the saddest “username checks out” moment I’ve ever seen. 🫂
I would go back to September 1st 2001 and make sure a certain new yorker was in a certain building on a very specific date.
Gray’s Sports Almanac.
So just back 10 years from now?
I’d go back to the 90s and go to a live performance of Daft Punk. Their concerts were absolutely crazy, live remixes, etc. when I was alive during that time I wasn’t old enough to even know who they were so it’s not like I ‘missed out’. If we’re going the selfish self-serving route I’d def buy stock in yahoo / google. Then would travel to 5 years ago and reinvest that money into renewables and influence into politics to hopefully steer us away from the shit we are dealing with now. Oooo Id also go back and look up all the oil baron assassins and counter assassinate them so electric would actually take hold in the 80s like it was supposed to.

Well, I can think of a couple US presidents from the 20th century that could use a good showcase of the future they caused by throwing Americans under the bus. Either that, or just clone their voices, fake messages that incriminate their actions and get them impeached, release them publicly via distribution to all major TV news outlets discretely, and watch what happens. If nothing else, just getting rid of them completely might be a solution as well, in hopes their vice president doesn’t make the same mistakes.
That, or go back to summer 2024 and tell the guy at that rally to aim a little to the left (or right) depending on which ear he shot.
Go back in time and buy another 1997 F-150. The thing is an amazing example of do it simple & do it right, and it will last. But, it’s also close to 30 years old, nearly every system on it is showing the tell-tale signs of age. I would love to have an actual new one, it would last me the rest of my days. (On a happy note, I just finished putting a rebuilt motor in mine. So, here’s hoping for another 25+ years).
It saddens me that even if I could afford a new car at today’s prices, I don’t want what they’re making.
Honestly? Kill me when I was in middle school
Okay, settle down there Emiya
