Yeah. Go back in time, put my hand over the singularity that was there before the big bang so it can't explode and go "lol"

But here's a question if you went back in time and got your past self rich it wouldn't happen because if your past self was rich he wouldn't use the time machine to go back and get rich, this was told by Rich.
Unless you told your past self how to build the machine and make him build it before he gets rich that way a paradox is avoided.

I probably would but the thing is if you go back in time to try to stop something catastrophic no one will believe you.

Personally I'd beat up Bill Gates and steal his idea, or if I failed at that, beat up Richard Branson and steal his idea.

At the time of some horrible happening, I always want to go back and change it.

But as time goes on, you realize that if you change that so much wouldn't have happened...

No I wouldn't change anything.

No, i've seen too much sci-fi to know that the chances of fucking something up are too great.

People point to back to the future as example of a way they could fix thing, but people aren't that stupid. Even in the 50's.

just my 2 cents tho. I have regrets, but nothing i wanna go back in time and fix. I would still be just as naive.

I'd change small things I thought were insconsequential enough to not jack up the whole world.  For starters, I'd stop a friend who slaughtered 5 people.  I'd then change some things in my family like buying our first home right after we got married when the housing market was growing because if I did that instead of buying last year...i'd already have half a million in equity and could move to Montana.  Ok, an overshare, but that's one thing I'd change.  But I'd keep my changes as local as possible.  Gotta keep the space time continuum safe by all means!

Am I reading that right? Wow double tragedy then - bad enough it happened - but by the hand of a friend (someone close - you know)... wow!

No. The risk of severe and unintended consequences is too high.

I don't know what I would change.  So many things to think of....

Hitler
9/11/01
School shootings...

probably a school shooting.  it didnt do any good and didnt change a thing.

Really though, so many peopleare afraid to cahnge something because of the outcomes.

Rather than give you the illusion of free choice, I will decide for you when... well.. I'm really not at liberty to say.

I don't know dude, it'd be cool but what if the G-man appears?

I would somehow prevent 9/11. (But then again, it may have led up to a bigger disaster)

I'd go back to Roman times with an Abrams and own them at some battle, then in history there'll be talk of some metal beast they killed millions of Legionnaires or something. It'd be cool watching arrows bounce of ma armor .

That or take out every evil dictator that has ever lived, warn people about disaster and get the name of 'Future Teller' then when we pass the time that I went back in time, I'll just say I'm retiring as I don't know jackshit about what's going to happen.

what if you could go back in time, but it was @random times and you had no control? What if you ended up in the Medieval times? Then what?
