Go back to 1986 and slip a morning after pill in my mom's drink... Oh wait, no consequences? Fuck me...
So many bands I'd love to see! But that's somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that'dhave to be possible or else it'dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans... but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed....chomp!
Or perhaps just see my dad again :)
I'll have to think of a scheme to extort some rich guy's Bitcoin wallet.
See Jimi Hendrix live.
Go to Teotihuacan to see how non/hierarchical it was, maybe trip balls if the opportunity presents itself.
Go to Harappa or Mahenjo Daro and see how indus seals were used.
Kindly ask the Minoans if that topless lady holding the snakes is in charge.
Tired: obsessing over the roman empire
Wired: obsessing over other ancient civilizations
I can't really answer without possibly breaking some rule... But my destination time would be exactly nine months before my own birth date...
Oh, not back to yesterday? Back to any time/place for a day?
I think it would be too hard to access any of these events or people - you'd go back then just end up in jail or something. I would like to see the moon though, so if it's a literal anything is possible situation I'll hitch along with those guys, on the first moon landing.
I think it'd be neat to go to like 10,000 BC and just live a day in the life of some tribe/ancient city.
I could finally ride every ride at Disneyland.
Oh, I thought you meant just repeat the same day that just happened. I did not understand the question.
Still a solid answer, though, even not understanding the assignment.
Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.
The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I'd have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.
What I do redacted.
Good luck with the bookies paying out. Had betway refuse to pay out a £500 bet once. Deleted my account with them shortly after.
There was a huge worry about this at the time, but considering the odds were so large, there were maybe 2-3 people that had actually made this bet that kept it after Jan. If they were to not pay out they'd have worldwide exposure and every other bookie taking their business.
If I can transport things back and forth, I would probably go and max out a credit card and buy all of the gold that I can to bring with me for trade.
Then I would go to the library of Alexandria and use my cell phone to get photocopies of as many books as I possibly can, and in the downtime I would go to any open Street markets and purchase any cool relics that I can find.
Then I could come back and share some of the Lost books of Alexandria with the world and also have period correct relics that have somehow magically not been exposed to a thousand years of environmental corrosion.
Then again, that would probably also mess up their radioisotope dating but I don't know if it's specific enough to only cover a thousand ish years.
Maybe if I have a little more time to prep I can find some place that I know hasn't been Disturbed and like put them in an airtight safe and store them for me to go back and ReDiscover now.
