You are granted the power of time travel for two weeks...

How do you use/abuse it? Do you go back and help Hitler win the war? Do you go back and bring technology/knowledge for the betterment of mankind? Or do you go back to before this thread was created and create it before me?

I would go back to this afternoon and stop myself from stepping though dog shit 😡
 
would go back and put all of the hard earned money i made in my teens working as a grocery store bagger into apple stock.

then i'd go back before my dad died and tell him to go to the docs because something is wrong with him to hopefully prevent his sudden death.
 
2 weeks? i would just continue to go back in time and tell you my time ain't up.

oh and powerball.

I'd probably endup procrastinating to the last minute of the two weeks and just barely miss the ability to go back two weeks.
 
Win a big lottery in the early 90's, invest in all the booming IPO's of the time (and Apple), approach Sergey Brin and Larry Page and say I would look to start a company up with you guys called google, a search engine based on page rankings.
 
As people said before Lotteries.


Also would travel back in time and fuck with politics by showing Ralph Nader the 2000 election results.

Warn Litvinenko about that glass of water.

Tell Trayvon Martin's father to stock up on skittles and tea then leave money for pizza delivery before he left that night.

call the airlines to warn them about certain passengers on certain flights that September day.

to name a few

If you buy quantum theory about time travel I'd create many alternate universes in a short period of time.
 
Save Kennedy.
I dont think he was a good president, but he was a good man. And it would have been nice to at least see him do 8 years.
 
I would go back and mentor a young Anand and get him interested in cars instead of computers. All the CS majors here would then be productive members of society once again.
 
-Go back and show founding fathers modern guns
-Bring Jesus to modern times and ask him to address the world on modern religion
-Go to the future and watch all the new Star Wars movies, then maybe pick up a functioning lightsaber a century later.
 
I'd travel into the future, stop every 25 years to see what's changed until the earth is ruined. Then I'd travel to the start and end of time and see how everything began/ends.

Then I'd travel ahead in time a few months, collect as many lotto numbers as I could, travel back to present* and live it up.

*unless more distant future is arguable better then I would stake claim to that time period.
 
Go back in time to yesterday and have sex with myself. I would consider it the most awesome masturbatory experience and not gay.
 
1. Go back to 1938
2. Kill Hitler
3. Assume role as new fuhrer
4. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES HE DID
5. Profit?

You should read The Man Who Folded Himself, by David Gerrold. It is perhaps the ultimate time travel novel, and among other things it addresses this.
 
I'd go back in time, kill Mohammed, then go back further and kill St. Paul. And then Jesus.

I'm betting that once I get back to the present, we'll be flying starships.
 
I would bring back the technology and recipes for cheesecake to the time of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, allowing the Polish kings to conquer Europe with the power of delicious confectionery.

Yes, the ancient Greeks and Romans had cheesecake-like desserts, but it wasn't really the same thing.
