Fun in this thread to identify who is a white man by whether they'd even consider being safe visiting the past

Definitely need to go back a few years for some stock trades ........
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.
Would be funny if you caused an early blitz that petered out, and then the coin never became the number one coin.
You're right you'd probably have to be careful. Might need to balance the purchasing with mining.
August of '69. The first Woodstock.
2016 and you know why
Hell yea, punch that kid before he can derail the timeline
20,000 bce. tell the first person to come up with social hierarchy to fuck off
I'd go back 9 months prior to June 14th, 1946 and yell "Wait! For the love of God, use a condom!"
Just kick him in the balls before he climaxes
For anyone wondering, yes this is the birthdate of the detestable newspaper tycoon Ralph McAllister Ingersol II
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
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.
You can go back, but not forwards /s
As a woman I'd rather not go into any distant path.
So i choose last year and slap myself before I do an especially stupid thing that caused me near financial ruin and drained what little savings I had.
That is the way to go. Any point in time in the past is generally worse than the present. So just go back enough to fix something in our own life'and maybe play the lottery or some stock trading to get set for life.
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.
I'd probably go back to around 2000 and tell myself that my stupid decisions were going to catch up to me in about 24 years, and they will definitely cost me the relationship I have with only person in this world who had ever genuinely loved me, and that it will drive her mad and she will react in a most brutal and callous way.
I would remind myself that the way I think other people are feeling is almost always wrong, to some degree, and that i should listen better to her about her feelings while I still have a chance to salvage what was once true love.
I would explain that, if I'm not careful, I will misinterpret everything she says about her feelings, and i will lose all my friends and hobbies, one by one, trying to be someone for her that she doesn't even want.
I would describe the way it feels to be with her, then illustrate the way it will feel when she starts dating other guys while you beg her to please work with you on your relationship, and that it would already be too late no matter how much you want it to work.
I would suggest that, if I decide to proceed while ignoring all my other advice, then I should at least not buy a house with her in 2023 when she is so insistent. Just hold out for one more year before making that mistake.
She wanted to be my forever person, and i didn't know how to deserve that. We were fucking teenagers when we got together, and neither of us knew how to be. We were just spitballing.
And I'm a fucken dumdum.
I probably wouldn't listen to me anyway
Trans and disabled, so that limits my options a bit.
I think Iβd just go back to 2011 and just vibe.
2500 BC. Egypt. Just sit and look at those aliens build the pyramids.
Someone's gonna be disappointed
Are you implying that the big triangles were made only by the giants without alien intervention?
No I'm saying that there is no triangle.
Just like the moon and birds?
Yup, birds are just FBI surveillance tool and moon is just a cardboard cutout placed somewhere that is why you can see the moon during daytime also.....πππ
Glad to see people of culture in here π
I probably go back to when I was a kid and my mom kidnapped me and since I look so much like my dad kick in the door and raise myself as my own father.
Use my knowledge of the future too make myself incredibly rich and give my younger self all of the advantages and opportunities of life.
I'd go back a few million years whenever fish decided to crawl onto land and yeet them back into the ocean.
If you just wait long enough those fish turn into mammals and go back in the water on their own.
Turn the fuck back around!
If I get to go with a Tardis, language barrier wonβt be a problem. If not, medieval Europe will be out of the question, since languages have changed so much during the past few centuries.
If you travel back even further to see mammoths or even dinosaurs, languages wonβt be an issue. Who knows what the ancient microbes will do to your immune system, so there are some serious risks.
I guess the past 200 years might be the most reasonable ones to choose from. I think I might want to meet James Prescott Joule (1818-1889), the inventor of the correct unit of energy.
James Watt (1736-1819) would be pretty interesting too, so I hope English hasnβt changed too much. Would be pretty annoying if we canβt communicate properly.
- I'll go back to the golden years of life before everything became political and people visited one another and knee how to speak their minds.
