Fun in this thread to identify who is a white man by whether they’d even consider being safe visiting the past
I wouldn’t go anywhen. My dissatisfaction is intrinsic and the year is irrelevant.
Please fuck me
Not even with someone else’s dick.
i just squirted so hard grumblebunny pls say acab i’ll literally die
Definitely need to go back a few years for some stock trades …
I would go back to my teen years just to relive it again. Assuming I could repeat the process when I read this post I would do it over and over again. I wouldn’t change anything, I would just enjoy the ride.
2016 and you know why
Hell yea, punch that kid before he can derail the timeline
I would go back to the inception of Bitcoin start some kind of shop, maybe pizza ice cream and donuts and offer products for Bitcoin. Any profits I Madoff non-Bitcoin sales I would sink directly into getting people to give me more Bitcoin.
Depends on the rules.
Round trip to a ‘read only’ version of the past? I’d like to see the dinosaurs.
Round trip that can make changes? Probably a few hundred or even thousand years ago, so I could give them modern technology, information about climate change, try to educate people on social issues, etc. I’d create detailed instructions and try to make a religion out of it. There’s no guarantee it would work, but I’d hopefully return to a solarpunk utopia. Honestly not sure if I would try this, as it would basically overwrite everything I’ve ever known.
One way trip? I’d probably pass, unless I can de-age. I would definitely want to go back to being a child with all my current knowledge.
You could visit late 1700s or early 1800s and start a company that makes renewable energy. Maybe something like wind power, wave power etc, should be achievable with the technology available at the time. If your company becomes successful enough, you could compete fossil fuels out of the market. Then, invest that money into developing energy storage technologies to outcompete the internal combustion engine.
That’s a good idea, and it could make a one way trip worth it if it meant becoming super powerful. I’d also focus on medical technology, and maybe computing.
Although I’m a bit unsure of whether I could really create enough broad social change just from that. My goal would be liberation for people of all races, genders, and sexual orientations, the dismantling of capitalism and power structures, etc.
The other option would be to do far back enough so that I could be some sort of god king, which would be a lot more work technologically, but might be easier to create a religion that would canonize my instructions.
Oh, in that case… I guess you might need to bring anthrax with you and eradicate the early humans when they were all still conveniently in one continent.
Was there every a better moment to see if you can ride a T-rex? See the dinosaurs walk the earth, experience the wild nature that must have been around back then. I bet we don’t know about a lot of the amazing things from that time.
Of course you would have a hard time trying to survive, but it would be cool. Dangerous, but cool.
Are we assuming we can go back? Or are you just stuck with dinos as your friends now?
Well, that is one of the typical things I would start thinking about when I am there… If I could go back it would be epic to do this. If not, I’ll skip, thank you very much.
