Assuming you could return to your present, would you go into the future or past? And why would you choose to go that way? I think I would rather go back in time and see a world that hasn't been polluted and damaged by humanity.
shareFor practical reasons, I’d go a couple weeks into the future and get the upcoming Powerball numbers.
In terms of purely personal interests though, I would probably go back to the earliest civilizations like Sumeria or pre-dynastic Egypt because I would like to see what life was really like back then
That might not be such a good idea if the rumour that the lottery's are rigged is true.
THAT IS EXACLTY WHAT MY ANSWER WAS...HE SHOULD GO HALFSIES ON A TIME MACHINE, BRO.
shareI would like to go about 50 years into the future so I could tell the people in my family who will still be alive what to prepare for between now and then - good or bad - especially for the 30, and 5 year old.
shareYou could always move to the northern territories.
shareI would go back to England in 1347 to 1350 to witness the Black Death. The plague was devestating back then, so it would've been fascinating to see
sharedistant future...
but I'm returning with some cool pics
There's no question in my mind that I would go back to before I was born. Then I'd (somehow) kill the man who eventually became my father, and then just hang about in the ether until my Mother married someone else, and trust to chance that I'd be born as his son.
shareI like it. I would go back a previous generation though to my grandfather and jog the arm of the Bedouin who shot him in WW1 so that the shot was fatal. He had a hell of a life anyway and it would have erased a lot of future arseholes from the world.
" jog the arm of the Bedouin who shot him in WW1 so that the shot was fatal."
Interesting, Quasi. There's a movie in there!
I don't think my father ever encountered Bedoiuns, but I'm sure he crossed pedestrian crossings often in his life, so there's a plan in that. His father apparently was a decent chap, so I suppose I'd spare him.
My father's father never recovered from his WW1 ordeal and finished up dying in a psychiatric asylum so I figure it was a life he wouldn't have missed. As far as my father and mother went there wasn't much to pick between them in the who was more awful stakes. But my mother's side had some decent people whereas my father's side were pretty appalling really.
As a matter of fact, I've just lately been reading a couple of books on WW1, one by a compatriot of yours, one E.P.F Lynch, titled "Somme Mud". It's a first-person recounting of his experiences in the trenches. Reading it, it was almost impossible to credit that men could endure such conditions, while expecting to be shot dead at any moment.
shareI travel into the future at every moment.
shareAND I SHOW UP CONTINUOUSLY..EVERY TIME OLDER AND OLDER AND MURDER PEOPLE AROUND YOU....ITS CALLED TIMESTALKER,AND I THINK WE SHOULD BANG OUT A SCRIPT TOGETHER..IM SEEING THE ENDING INVOLVING A PEGASUS,I JUST CANT FIGURE OUT WETHER IT IS NOBLE OR SAVAGE...
