you people are dumb…. the spageti is outlawed because remember when biff always forgets to hold on to the fork when slurping spatgeti? it stabs him in the forehead!
oh and if i could go into the time-stream….
let’s just say the world would be comepletely different….
Mayan language would be understood, the playstation one would still be around, x-box would have been invented sooner than it was, i would invest $2 in McDonalds, $2 in BurgerKing, steal Bill Gates idea for the internet, save to indians from their homes being taken away, invent my game called Pocket sized before whatever game my friend says it was like, bring solar power and hyybrid engines back so it is actually invented, stop my self from doing anything really dumb, bring back a lightsaber from the future, get myself a ninja suit, get a laser gun from the future, and invest $5 in the bank.
i still think time travel with which you can’t be seen is best. a pasty, redheaded girl suddenly showing up in ancient Egypt in order to figure out how King Tut died or who actually built the Great Sphinx and how old it really is would be double plus ungood. do you have any idea what they thought of redheads in most of the world at that time? i am not going to be executed as a witch!
if i could travel back in time, i would invest in every succesful company known to man, THEN buy every transformers toy from the 80s and THEN bring Bruce Lee back to kick Norris’s ass and then challenge Segata Sanshiro. After that… I guess I’d start working on robots to take over the world. MUWAHAHAHAAA!!
Here’s a questioning question to blow your brain. I’m constantly stuck on this one: I often think how great it would be to go back and buy something that was once cheap, and then put it in storage in the past, come forward in time, and then sell the mint product, for example, a 59 Corvette. they were what? $1200 when they first came out, now a mint is worth $70,000 or so. But how would you buy them in the past? They wouldn’t take your future money and liquidized wealth suck as gold would loose it’s value in the time travel. Can anyone come up with a way to use the money you have now to buy something cheap in the past?
I’d save the Library of Alexandria from being destroyed, both times. I’d also bring a crew with a bunch of digital cameras, image scanners, computers and a electric generator with as much diesel fuel as needed to power all the gear long enough to copy everything from the library.
Next, I’d put together a computer with a TV card and several terabytes of storage then drop it somewhere in the UK where it won’t be bothered. Then I’d go over there today and pick up the complete collection of Dr. Who episodes. (Also all the Benny Hill stuff and several other good shows the BBC lost when they sold their old steel tape archives for scrap!)
And finally, I haul enough stuff back to 1951 to pawn to rais enough cash to buy a brand new 1951 Hudson Commodore Hollywood hardtop club coupe. Naturally it’d be loaded with a 308 cubic inch straight 6, Twin-H Power, Hydramatic transmission and everything else from the options list.
new idea: go back to 1948 and found out exactly how Jacqueline Natla got rich. the copy those methods and be head of my own mining corporation. a legal one, Lara’s shot me in the past, and it hurt.
I would go back before you’ve made the Biff comics and put all the one’s you’ve made now on the internet so I would be cool and no one would know you exist. >:D
No, not really. I’m joking. Really. But I would eat EVERY PLATE OF CHINESE FOOD I’ve eaten before over again.
I’d also go back and change everything I did that I regretted or thought was stupid of me.
Get the entire collection of Dr. Who in decent quality (time travel, best preservation there is) without getting it cancelled accidentally and transfer it to DVD or memory stick. Actually I’d get doubles of all the missing ones so that the BBC could have them back.
Make sure my time capsule is interesting to the people in the future when they find it
Find out why loads of history stuff happened
Stop DP, Fruits Basket and other good shows being cancelled
More will come, but I’ll stop posting, it must be getting boring.
We already know that the egg came first actually, it’s fairly simple.
I understand the time stream mechanics if anyone needs it explaining, it’s really not as complicated as all those scifi programs make it sound. They always explain in such roundabout ways. Then again, you probably can’t explain time streams without going round in circles. It’s easy to grasp, hard to explain.
I’ll shut up now.
Chris, you seem to have inspired lots of theories on here!
Was it Biff’s fault in the first place that Spaghetti was banned?
I would go back to some old and simple civilisation use modern technology to make them worship me as a god and just have a great time ever after.
Who needs money if you could be worshipped as a god?
Macabelle gets it! It is because people refuse to eat spaghetti in a bowl! only on a plate! That’s why Biff thinks it’s outlawed! Is macabelle correct?
Id go back in time with my computer, and share the tech, then go farther and fight the civil war, only with fully automatic macheneguns like the SAW, and with tanks, yeah, that sounds fun
Louis I’ll come with you and we can Party!! Oh and I’d get rich and go back to the art school that wouldn’t let Hitler in and give him a scholarship. Maybe he’d have turned out better, and the WWII could have been avoided.
As much as I want a dinosaur omlette, I’d probably just take my suit of aluminum chainmail back and sell it to a king for a fortune. Aluminum was worth more than gold once. Then some guy figured out how to refine it. I might get some aluminum sheets at home depot too. and the king might want an aluminum foil hat. Mweheheheheheh…
My first post on the Biff webcomics
I’ve painstakingly read each comic from around 239 and back when I started reading it.
Ok alot of people have been thinking of going back in time and stopping Hitler.
A good idea.
But you forget.
If Hitler hadn’t started the war, the American economy wouldn’t have jumpstarted the way it had.
We’d be a third-world country, or not even a country at all.
It’s a double-edged sword.
That’s how it would have worked out…
And no spaghetti? That makes Wade very sad.
Well I just thought I’d post my thoughts.
congrats to all the people who would change parts of history, you’ve just ended the world as we know it by making a huge time paradox where posibly things like WWII wouldnt happen and possibly some of the worlds greatest minds would never be born. time is a simple concept it’s like a tree it started as a single line then as decisions are made it splits into a stream where each decision is lived out, and this happens with every decision that is made no matter how small, even things like should i get up now or in 5 minutes, this also brings about the alternate realities theory and if it is to be belived that would mean several billion realalities are created on earth in one rotation alone.
but it is only human nature to want to change things.
if i could travel in time i would be an observer, i’d probably spend a while in the 18th century as a bounty hunter using time travel to find my mark by finding out his/her location on a certain day and go back to that day and wait.
i would also think about fighting in WWII as a lone wolf, mainly because if i made direct contact with a relitive i could cause a paradox and colapse the dimension
I’ve actually thought about this. I wouldn’t do anything to change or even witness historical events. Any minute change can affect everything. Instead, I’d keep repeating moments where something cool happened. Then when I let time continue as normal, it’s as though it all happened at once. Overwhelmed with awesome.
Knowing from experience how time travel tends to create parallel timelines and not affect anything much, and how things tend to work themselves out anyway, I don’t try to save the world or anything. The real reason to travel in time is the same as traveling anywhere, to see the sights and have fun. ^_^
I do not know that I would change a thing about my own life. What I have done, mistakes and blunders included, are a part of what made me who I am today. I know I’m not perfect, but life isn’t about the value of things in your life, it’s about valuing your life and the things/people that are a part of it. I would probably destroy the time machine.
I would learn German then go back and listen to Einstein’s last words, the nurse on duty when he died could not speak German. Maybe I would be like the Cronomantic from Star-Slip Crisis. Then of course I would HAVE to go to the near future and make a fortune in stock.
Maybe I would be like a temporal Noah’s Ark. I will save animals and plants from extinction and have the world’s best zoo. From Dinos to Dodos, that’ll be our motto.
no..no..no spaghetti? that makes cybrina angry!!! YOU DON’T LIKE ME WHEN I’M ANGRY!!!
if i went back in time i would probably
1. save presidents from being assassinated
2. bet on sports and such and win BIG!!
3. stop global warming, and all the other things happening today
or 4. stop myself from making friends w/ that kid and i would never have gotten pneumonia!!
i would go to the future and get force fields and lasers, and then go back to the romans and beat the crap out of everyone. (i got that off of the comic Rob and Elliot)
I’d go to the late 1800s and run a huge scam in order to get lots of money. I’d probably get caught, but President Grant would let me off with just a slap on the wrist and I’d leave my money to myself in the future which, with all those years of interest, would be huge-mega-bucks.
first time I’ve commented, started reading yesterday, wanted to reply to the time travel question, I’d go to ancient greece and see helen of troy. I wanna see if the face really could launch a thousand ships.
I’d learn Japanese, dye my hair, get old-fashioned clothes, and try out Sengoku Oden (which is supposedly extinct).
Interesting thing. Time machines only work if you’re going by whole years or have a self-propelled space suit. Time-SPACE machines, on the other hand…
We have time machines. They’re called clocks.
If i could, I would travel back in time to meet up with my 6 year old self. I would say “If you grew to my age, you would thank me.” I would then kill him….
No, Nat. You could not go forward to read all the webcomics because he has not written them yet, therefore they do not exist and will not if you go forward in time. Since forward time travel is impossible because certain things have not had their effect yet, you would probably just be sucked into a void and would die there.
Sorry if I sounded like a nerd just now. If the whole time travel thing worked, I would go forward past the ’08 election to find out who our next president would be. Then I would go to my science teacher when he was a kid and be his best friend* and tell him who his wife would be and what he would name his kids and that he would be a science teacher who wanted to be an entomologist.
* My science teacher is the coolest in the world. My class thinks he’s awesome and so do all the rest of the classes. It’s always hands on experiments. We have not opened the book a single time this year in science and it’s March. He seems to favor me over everyone else though. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because we both love science in general.

I would go back in time and get first post on every comic thus far.

Can anyone come up with a way to use the money you have now to buy something cheap in the past?
Alex – All you have to do is take something with you that is cheap now that would be worth a lot of money in the time period you are traveling to.
a nice big hard drive. a 1 MB hard drive rand like what, $2K when they came out? think how mcuh a 400 GB hard drive would be worth in the past.
I’d save the Library of Alexandria from being destroyed, both times. I’d also bring a crew with a bunch of digital cameras, image scanners, computers and a electric generator with as much diesel fuel as needed to power all the gear long enough to copy everything from the library.

Chris – I know =)
I’d definitely go back to the time of the Greeks, with Socrates and Plato.
Definitely Rome.
And Rome too
new idea: go back to 1948 and found out exactly how Jacqueline Natla got rich. the copy those methods and be head of my own mining corporation. a legal one, Lara’s shot me in the past, and it hurt.

Got more.

Was it Biff’s fault in the first place that Spaghetti was banned?
Yay! Im back from vacation and biff is encroaching on the 300th comic! awesome!
hmm, i’d probably go check out all the “Alien” sightings, see if they were real.
maybe even meet one, bring back some cool gadgets.
I would go back to some old and simple civilisation use modern technology to make them worship me as a god and just have a great time ever after.
Who needs money if you could be worshipped as a god?
I can just see the outlawing of Rammen…good things like that will be like cocaine this days in bout 9 years if this really happens
Macabelle gets it! It is because people refuse to eat spaghetti in a bowl! only on a plate! That’s why Biff thinks it’s outlawed! Is macabelle correct?
I would go back and stop my mom from getting in that car wreck.
Time travel is a very interesting thing. The last thing we need is a time paradox, right?
Id go back in time with my computer, and share the tech, then go farther and fight the civil war, only with fully automatic macheneguns like the SAW, and with tanks, yeah, that sounds fun
If spaghetti is outlawed then only outlaws will have spaghetti!!!
Louis I’ll come with you and we can Party!! Oh and I’d get rich and go back to the art school that wouldn’t let Hitler in and give him a scholarship. Maybe he’d have turned out better, and the WWII could have been avoided.
As much as I want a dinosaur omlette, I’d probably just take my suit of aluminum chainmail back and sell it to a king for a fortune. Aluminum was worth more than gold once. Then some guy figured out how to refine it. I might get some aluminum sheets at home depot too. and the king might want an aluminum foil hat. Mweheheheheheh…
that or use paradox to multiply myself a thousandfold and take over the world.
Speaking of saving shows from cancellation, or premeditated murder.
FIREFLY!

Well I just thought I’d post my thoughts.
I’d invest a lot of money in Microsoft when they were just getting started.
I would try to kill myself to see if it worked. Hopefully not.

does he have meatballs in there?

I`d go back to 2004,and shoot the guy who made the Series of Unfortunate Events movie.
Snicket must`ve been drunk when he agreed to that.
I would discover the the meaning of the stone tablet they found on Easter Island.
Knowing from experience how time travel tends to create parallel timelines and not affect anything much, and how things tend to work themselves out anyway, I don’t try to save the world or anything.

or 4. stop myself from making friends w/ that kid and i would never have gotten pneumonia!!
I would love to go back to the early 1990′s, when things were simpler and my mother would break up the fights between me and my sister.
If were to go back in time I’d go back to when I first kissed my boyfriend.
And I’d also go back to the time I spent with my guildies on a game I once played…those were fun days. Lol, I’m not a geek >.>.
i would go to the future and get force fields and lasers, and then go back to the romans and beat the crap out of everyone. (i got that off of the comic Rob and Elliot)
I’d go to the late 1800s and run a huge scam in order to get lots of money. I’d probably get caught, but President Grant would let me off with just a slap on the wrist and I’d leave my money to myself in the future which, with all those years of interest, would be huge-mega-bucks.
If I could time-travel, I’d go back in time and force myself to do that project that I waited until the last minute to do.
first time I’ve commented, started reading yesterday, wanted to reply to the time travel question, I’d go to ancient greece and see helen of troy. I wanna see if the face really could launch a thousand ships.
They’re illegal, just like the tacos which went extinct
I’d learn Japanese, dye my hair, get old-fashioned clothes, and try out Sengoku Oden (which is supposedly extinct).

I have some childhood issues
I’d try to destroy the space-time continuum with a whole mess of paradox.
i’d go to woodstock ’69
