Look up last week's lottery numbers, then head back to last week.
I don't wanna play the make money game anymore.

I'd go back to the Precambrian era around the time of the "explosion" to see what caused it. Though I may need a space suit. Was the atmosphere habitable at that time? π€
Precambrian era From what I found there was much less oxygen (just a bit) and the atmosphere (as such) was thinner than today. So, if you like being sunburnt. You can :) I would not mind to follow you on that trip but I will pass

Assuming it's a one way trip, I'd probably go to the year 1998, Impersonate my dad, Rescue child me from some shit, Win the lottery, Stop 9/11, and then die and leave my younger self with more money and power than he could reasonably cope with.
Quite a programme. A lot to do

This timeline is already fucked so I really can't make it any worse, so I'd go back just to fuck with the timeline.
Take written volumes on mathmatics, science, and engineering and hand them out in Greece and Arabia a few thousand years ago and see what kind of world we end up with instead.

Monkey's Paw answer is the same world we have today because the books are in English and/or the math symbols were not standardized back then.

To the point when humanity's earliest ancestor dared leave the ocean. I'd kick it back into the sea. Civilization was a mistake.

I nearly killed my new lawn because I didn't water it enough.
Just go back a few days and let me water it well.
Assuming I could go back at some point, ancient Rome in its heyday would be a sight to see. I'd love to go sightseeing to almost any ancient civilization really. At least the ones where I wouldn't immediately get killed.

I'd like to witness the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ
Are are we applying butterfly effect mechanics here? If yes, the farthest Iβll probably go is the previous 24 hours to have the least impact on the things I donβt want to lose/change. Then Iβll probably bet on the lottery.
butterfly effect mechanics And if there is no butterfly effect mechanics ?

I would go back about 40 years ago and stop my parents from meeting.
π
If your parents didn't meet and make you, then it is likely they would have met other people and made other people. Don't put the curse of your existence off on some other poor sap. Stand up and drink your cup.
No, I'd rather shift the responsibility. There's nothing in my cup and the cup is crumbling.

All the way back. With the knowledge that I shouldn't trust or put faith in people.
Instead of seeking out truth I would just be an average person.
I would leave home asap and not stick around a town of hate and crime.
