I’d make an army of me’s by constantly going back to meet myself at a specific point in time and take over a small country. Of course I’d make money with the stock market first so that we were well armed and taken care of.
i would like most people invest money so i never have to work to live but just work for loving it (i want to be a mod artist = piercings tattoo’s)
and look if jesus was real or just a random charismatic village idiot
I’d find out what happened to Emelia Earheart.
Then I’d do the bank account trick and end up wealthy.
After that, this cat’d just coast the timeline, being the mysterious stranger who helps people out in their time-a need, using my money to help them if needed.
I’d take Hitler back to my own time right before he would have committed suicide. It would be immensely satisfying to watch all the creative ways the Jews would find to torture him.
I wouldn’t plan anything big; just go back to the beginning of my computer sciences course and actually DO those assignments. They weren’t hard, I was just lazy. And I won’t look out of place; my appearance hasn’t changed in — what, five months? Well, I do have more of a tan on my left arm from driving, but I wore long-sleeved shirts in the winter, so that wouldn’t be noticed.
i’d probably:
go back and meet a 13 year old Chris and say somthing like “Dude! in the future you’re gonna be an awsome webcomicist!”
-go back to when Hitler was 5 and beat the living crud out of him
-talk to J.K.Rowling when she first got the Harry Potter Idea. then steal it.
-stop Kurt Colbain’s suicide.
-go meet my grandpa when he was my age
-Neuter(sp?) George Bush Sr. to prevent the birth of George W.
-interveiw Jesus for a history report. (how cool would that be?)
and a whole buncha other stuff, but i don’t want to make this too long
Warn Europe about Hitler.
Warn Abraham Lincoln.
Warn John Lennon.
Warn Kennedy.
Make friends with Jesus.
Neuter Kim Il-sung’s father.
Go back to 1900 and beat the living nightlights out of li’l Adolf.
And tell Biff where his brain is hid.
@JarkJark: The thing is, even if you did warn those people, they’d probably discount them. Especially Europe between-Wars; they had so many possible threats to deal with.
i would bring every famous historicaly significant person and use them to pass my oral history exam. Then i’d go back to 1995 and buy a glass bottle of coke.
If I could time travel, I’d go back in time, steal my younger selves comic books and video games, then I’d go to the future and read all the Biff comics, go back to present time, and tell everyone what the next comic would be every day until Chris goes insane.
Then I would regret it and go back in time to stop myself.
D:
Ensure major historical events went off without a hitch.
(Various assassinations, starts of wars, horrible inhuman events, etc.)
And then go forward and gank some important people.
If I could time travel, I’d go back in time and tell my younger self to learn more languages while I was still young and my brain was still fresh. I’d love to have learned more when I was a kid! I never cared about French in school, and because I live in Canada I had to take it ’til I was in grade 10. But it never stuck. Now that I’m learning Japanese, I want to learn way more, like German and French and some other ones, like maybe Korean or Spanish. Iduno, whatever.
For fear of putting myself into a state of constant paranoia, however, I would not warn myself about that drunk driver the summer after I graduate high-school… I survived, anyway. Plus the lawsuit DID pay for my exchange to Japan, which I’m currently still on!
I would take about 250 dollars, go to the past. Buy a large plot of land and build a nice house for my future family to live in. Put money in the bank so that it would collect and actually be there, so that my parents would have something better than the financial problems we’re having now… And to make sure that all requirements are met, the house will be a one-floor plan with my room at the opposite end of the house than my parents’, and sturdy, polished oak floorboards with reinforced brick walls. That sounds about right.
im going to say this in all capitals so u understand IF ANY OF U WENT BACK IN TIME NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN THERE WOULD BE NO MORE MONEY FOOD OR ANTHING CAUSE U WOULD HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT THE SAMURAIS WOULD STILL BE GONE CAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UR FAULT THEY DISSAPEARED IN THE FIRST PLACE
If I had only one chance to go back in time, I’d go to the 17th century, visit Polynesia while it was still paradise, and then write books that would confuse all contemporaries and be much wondered about back in the present.
Re. Lich King’s complaint, you seem to hold the belief there is and can only be one timeline. If we respect that belief, would you do the rest of us a favor and respect that other people think differently? Also, it’s a very boring way to imagine time travel, if you’ll pardon me saying so.
If I could time travel, I would first go to the future and get a super-computer microchip thing that can hold a nearly infinite amount of information, then go to every single place in the universe since the beginning of time, and document everything(and I mean everything, from the first ever lifeform to the specific direction a certain atom moved at a certain time). I would then roam the universe, preventing rouge time travelers from screwing up the time-space continuum for the rest of eternity.
If I coluld go back in time, I would go back to the stone age and steal a club, then go forward in time and sell it to a museum for billions of pounds (or whatever currency they used), then spend it on a super computer that can create anything out of nothing and store tonnes of info, and do practically anythign I want it to.
And a robot. I would also buy a robot.
Hmmm… the question was about traveling through time, not just into the past or future. That could also mean across time — so I think it would be interesting to see alternative time streams, such as a realm where the dinosaurs didn’t get killed off, or the Europeans never had anyone sail across the Atlantic. It would be interesting to see what the world would be like this year, if Romulus and Remus had been eaten by the she-wolf instead of being raised by her.
I would mess with history until dragons were glitched into existance, steal a baby one, undo all the stuff I did (so only I had a dragon), and return only a second after I left, with a dragon pet.
i would go back in time and tell my grandpa that if he didn’t stop smoking, he would get cancer and die. and then i would steal all of his ciggarets whenever he got a box.
dude, if spagetti were ever outlawed, i would go insane. i LOVE italian food, being italian myself.

When Josh wakes up he would rewind time to just before he fell asleep so he would be more rested.
I would stop myself from giving away my SNES
hey long time reader first time posting

I’d unoutlaw myself…

D:
I would visite the old days see what it was like back the, from around 1700 and up and see how the land evolves.
I live in denmark and i am very interested in local history so i would have a great time.
I’d make Jesus and Hitler have a fight with custard pies. And then post a video of it on the internet.

Don’t ruin peoples fun. Not cool.
I’d put right what once went wrong. And I’d knock out the bastard who stole my copy of Pokémon Trading Card Game for the Game Boy Color in 2001.
kill micheal jackson…
oh wait

I’d either become a stock market genius, or a historic movie producer (movies so real it’s like they traveled back in time with a camera!)

I wouldn’t have eaten that strange mushroom in 2002
I know at least two fatal car crashes I would try to prevent (Princess Di and my aunt Susan).
i would go back in time and tell my grandpa that if he didn’t stop smoking, he would get cancer and die. and then i would steal all of his ciggarets whenever he got a box.
hmmm…i’d become friends with a caveman, get myself a pet Mammoth, and become the guy who invented cheese.
hmmm…i’d also skip ahead in time and get myself Cyberized.
