I’ll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

EDIT: I’ll clarify: You can’t affect the timeline. It means you cant go back to try to get rich with stocks, lottery, etc. It’s like going to see a movie, when you come back the world will be exactly the same. You can interact with people, but in the end, the day you spend in the past will not have existed for anyone but you, in your memories.

    I would go back to when this post had no comments and be the first so I can explain to everyone else what no consequence means. That way when I come back to the present I can still be disappointed by half of the answers in this thread.

      Except no one would be able to read your comment before posting because, again, no consequence. So that’s pointless.

          I read your second part as “people can’t read, so 50% are still wrong, even if you explained it perfectly”.

        The only comment about bitcoins I’ve seen so far is scamming someone out of their wallet, which could actually work. If you got their account information, that’s just data that is a memory. With the number of bitcoin wallets people have lost the login information for, it’s actually a workable idea for this scenario.

          There’s a couple. maybe not just bitcoins but the idea of trying to get rich. That and many people who wish they werent born… Makes me kinda sad to be honest.
