Do-over

[Citizen Bleys]

Now I think I'd also warn everybody of every bad thing ever. Or maybe I'd go back and be a super villian, with my mechanics knowledge, I coulda conquered texas by 2nd grade.

There's now 4 people I'd send back.

btw guys: he's already sent you back. Time continued with no fluctuation, butterfly effect is proved false, and you did the exact same things you did in the past, thus having the same memories.

EDIT

lol misread the topic.

I think I'd go back to my childhood. I wouldn't change anything. I'd just want to live it once again. It was the happiest period of my life.

Curses, foiled again.

I don't want to go to my past because I've already lived it. I want to go to the past of someone else to see what they did -- preferably not the dark ages.

[Citizen Bleys]

The point is to change it. If you change someone else's past, they're the beneficiary.

This thread is about breaking the #1 rule of time travel in most fiction: Thou shalt not use time travel for personal gain. Well in this thread, you can only use it for personal gain, or the personal gain of those close to you. Not physically close, like the freaky lunatic the next apartment over, but friends, family, smurfbuddies, and the entire population of Pitcairn's Island.

TEH TIEM PARADUCKS:
eef it iz possumble to go bak in tiem, tehn eny efeks of tiem traval to teh pahst is r alreddy bn in okkurense, so ther4, u canot keel yurself in teh past, bcuz then u woodnt be aliv to go bak and keel yurself. Also, if travln bak in tiem is possumble, then eet has alreddy occured in teh footur an so teh pahst mey hav bean chenged, but becuz eet haz, we donut no it deed, so we is r feelin teh effeks of tiem travl alreddy, and eef we were to go bak, no mattar wat we duz, eet was alreddy doomed to happenz, so nuthing chenges in teh present.

What if I go back in time and commit suicide? HUH?

[Unbreakable Will]

There's been many a night where I've contemplated this scenario. Going back with the knowledge I have now would save me a lot of strife and regret, but it also would make me a different person than I am now and I quite like me. So no, I wouldn't go back.

THE TIME PARADOX:
.if it is possible to go back in time, then any effects of time travel to the past is are already being in occurrence, so therefore, u cannot kill yourself in the past, because then u wouldn't be alive to go back and kill yourself. Also, if traveling back in time is possible, then it has already occurred in the future an so the past may have been changed, but because it has, we don’t know it did, so we is are feeling the effects of time travel already, and if we were to go back, no matter what we do, it was already doomed to happen, so nothing changes in the present.

better?

The word "you" is still 3 letters long.

Then you die. How do you benefit from that?

So, in essence, if you go back in time, "you" die and someone who looks just like you takes your place, n'est-ce pas? That's not really the point of this exercise, though. The point is to prove me wrong and come up with a way that you can use time travel for your own benefit without the necessity of living in a world where the Uncertainty Principle (nor any other law of physics, such as the Second Law of Thermodynamics) does not exist.

I travel back in time and not do anything out of the ordinary. I make an anonymous call in the late 1980s that the person who committed the scarborough rapes (paul bernardo) works in the same building as my mother.

They question him, find nothing wrong (because they did that anyway in this timeline) and I do nothing to change history.
