Thread: If you had a time-machine, where would you go?

  1. #1

    Default If you had a time-machine, where would you go?

    If you had a time-machine, where would you go? Would you re-live a moment in your own life? Or maybe go back to a moment in history? Or maybe to see what your future would hold?

    If I was allowed endless travels, I would love to do all of the above. However,if I were allowed just one trip, I would go back in time to when I was a little girl. I'd go back to Christmas eve late at night, when I used to climb into bed with my Grandma and she'd cuddle me and tell me stories and tell me how wonderful I was. I loved that woman so much and miss her every day.

    So my question to you is: what would you do?

    If I had just one trip, I would save it. If something bad happened to somebody I love and care about, then I would use it to try and prevent that thing from happening. Or I could use it to spend one more day with a loved one.

    I don't think I'd want to see my own future. What if it was terrible? I wouldn't want to know. Then the rest of my life would be spent miserable, building up to that moment in time and every decision would be made in an attempt to desperately try and change the future!

    The early 1980s.

    I would take a boombox down to the arcade and turn Ultravox to max while I played vidya.

    I'd go to the future, get all cyber'd up, and then go re-live the 1980s over and over and over forever.

    As a women, going back in time could be really bad for me, sadly.

    So forward I go! I want to see flying things! And aliens!

    I'd go see my girlfriend who died of cancer 9 years ago again. Probably try to take her somewhere we never went.

    I would travel to the future, check out what gaming was like. I'll like to try out one of them VRMMOs out. I'll like to see what space travel is like, where the aliens live, what the Deatstar looks like irl, see if they did bring back the dinosaurs or a new dinosaur planet, may be they engineered dragons and unicorns. So much good stuff that could happen.

    Pretty boring answer, but I'd probably just use it to go back in time and bet on things I know the outcome for and get rich.

    This. It sounds greedy, but you know.

    After I have the money, I'd then use the machine to travel through time. Go on adventures. Go see things with my friends and SO, but I don't think I would alter history, just observe it. The past is the past. No trying to save people or alter history. As for the future? I'm not sure. Sometimes I'd rather not know about it!

    I'd go back moments before the start of game 6 of the 2003 NLCS & break Mark Prior's arm.

    Assuming this form of time travel creates new universes with each instance so as to deny paradoxes I would go to peak of humanity in the future and see the state of imortality research and bring it back to the present (or the past) so they could advance the tech from there. Then go to the future again and bring back the imortality research, rinse and repeat until it is perfected, make myself imortal, go back and stop myself from doing the research loop so i am the only imortal, then time travel forever on endless adventures.

    Assuming I have to avoid paradoxes and/or only have one trip just make a lot of money on the lottery or facebook stocks
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    I'd love to go back to the late 1940's and become a cop, I blame L.A. Noire, but I absolutely love the suits and the style of language.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.
