I did what supposed to be done in Red Alert lore and see what happens.

The world without Tesla, Edition, Einstein. I guess we are running on magic now.

I'd go as far back as possible and see how things came to be. And to the time our sun was born and later when our moon was formed. And I'd visits the time and watch earth meeting it's end.

I'd go watch the pyramids being built, should be very interesting.

I would stop my kid self from taking the concerta I was prescribed and instead get him to drink a cup of coffee every morning, and would also give him advice for when he stops being a Christian and his parents go apeshit and try to desperately bring him back into the fold.

Also I would prefer to use a DeLorean

I would probably look at a few interesting years I am aware of, but after a while I figure it would devolve into "I dunno man, what the fuck was going on in 1111?"

I'd check out and record all of the Biblical/Qur'anic big moments at a prudent distance, probably (barring the times of Noah, lol). Then I'd die in the time machine as I try to come back to my time and share with others cause God wants belief in the unseen and through uncertainty, maybe. 😅

I wanna visit the Indus Valley Civilization and see what they were about. If I'm not changing history I'm just gonna be a temporal tourist, hosting a livestream where I ask Romans where the best fast food is at and stuff.

i’d go to the first nuclear bomb test, after it went off i’d say they just created a rift in time, and i came back to stop them from destroying the world through paradoxes….

The middle of the carboniferous, imagine forests growing for millions of years and wood not decaying. There should be mountains made of wood.

I would like to see the Hot Club de Paris with a shot of absinthe and a big fat joint

I’ll visit past me and leave some letters that contain useful information. You know, don’t trust those people, avoid doing this mistake, know yourself etc. would be interesting to see how that timeline diverges from my own.

Actually. now that I’ve opened this door, might as well try influencing world history on a larger scale. How about I visit certain key moments where a dangerous person almost died, but survived to cause massive harm later down the line. Would be really interesting to see how history plays out after nudging Hitler a little bit closer than to that suitcase. History is just full of special moments like that.

I wouldn’t be a passive observer. I would actively change things to see what happens.

BTW, I believe in the many words interpretation of quantum physics, so all possibilities are equally real and they all exist simultaneously. No matter how hard you try to fix things or how badly you mess things up, that disaster branch was already there, always will be.

I'd love to see the future, because I really am hopeful for humanity to move beyond all this bullshit to some post scarcity utopia :)) Failing that, I'd probably go watch Phineas Gage's big moment, because, woah.

Go back to before multicellular life evolved so nothing will bother me

The end of time and the edge of the universe to have a good meal at the restaurant.
