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 wouldn’t go anywhen. My dissatisfaction is intrinsic and the year is irrelevant.

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.

August of '69. The first Woodstock.

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.

2016 and you know why

I’d go back 9 months prior to June 14th, 1946 and yell “Wait! For the love of God, use a condom!”

I’d go back a few million years whenever fish decided to crawl onto land and yeet them back into the ocean.

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

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.

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.

20,000 bce. tell the first person to come up with social hierarchy to fuck off

Is it one way? If so, I will pass.

If not, I would take my kid to see some of the big steam engines of the past that we can’t anymore, take a ride on an established safe train/route. (Or maybe buy some old Lego to take home)

I’d definitely pull a Biff Tannen
