    Most people usually consider killing Hitler. But if you think about it, there are on average 80 to 30 million sperm in a typical ejaculation. So I’d find Hitler’s dad on the street, bump into him and jiggle his nuts a bit. Then I’d come back to see how much history I changed.

      “So I’d find Hitler’s dad on the street, bump into him and jiggle his nuts a bit.”

      Brand new sentence.

    Ship my ass far, far into the future to satisfy my biggest piece of curiosity, probably in 100 yr increments or something. Hopefully somewhere with really good line of sight over a wide area, so I can see some “civilization”. If it gets really nice, I’d stay. I can try to sell the machine if funds are necessary.

    If it isn’t particularly nice at some point, there’s a nonzero chance I might die on one of my jumps. Avoiding that, I’d jump backwards again far enough to live out my natural life in the most advanced time I can.

    Amusingly, despite being a bit of a history buff, I’d have very little interest in actually going back. Even to learn.

    I’d first take my time and study how it works and how time itself works, then I’d study a bunch of history, and a bunch of science, once I’m done I’d go back in time to 1,000 BCE Yukatan Peninsula and chill in the beach, meet some locals, have a good time.

      And after your holiday you return and find the history books changed to Columbus discovering a nearly empty continent in 1492 and a archeological record of a big, continent wide pandemic, killing nearly all of the humans. Countless civilisations crashed by mass deaths……

        I have to counter this by saying, I don’t think one got would kill an entire continent, specially cuz I am immunized myself to modern diseases, if anything I’d probably help the locals get immunized with technology.

      This would be the most inconspicuous way to get rich with time travel.

      But by buying too much you could throw off the future, so it might be guess and check.

      But how? You don’t have access to your current bank account, any cash you bring would likely get marked as fake because of the redesigns that happen.

      It is fun to think about “if I go back in time I will buy as much X as possible.” But you don’t have any currency from that era.

    Go back in time and tell myself that I need to go to an in-state college instead of taking out so many private loans for out of state tuition.

    Id take all my savings with me, go back 20 years or so and dump them all into an RSP. Should have started years ago.

      Wouldn’t they deny your money because of the dates? You’d have to ensure you only have cash from pre-2003.

    Go see Nikola Tesla with a smartphone and take pictures of his work (with his permission), granted you could travel back. Priceless. Could also tell him how much he shaped the world we live in today with every mobile phone using technology he created (wireless). Although that might break the matrix, who knows.

    Go back to 1966 and attend a Yardbirds concert with Jimmy Page AND Jeff Beck on the same stage in their primes.
