So many dead billionaires and political figures… just like… a ludicrous amount.

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.
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
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?
I would use it once and promptly die in the coldness of space
Man, I’d print so much time…
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.
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.
Gray’s Sports Almanac.
go back to London in 1967 and watch Pink Floyd at the UFO and drop some acid with Syd Barrett
Play the lottery. I don’t know anything about the people who won big lotteries. Maybe it was me.
I’d go to the future and check it out. The question also made me wonder how far into the future one would need to go before they wouldn’t be able to speak the same language as anyone?
I’d sale time in a bottle.
Booze?
