You can't tell me that you don't enjoy a good roll of duct tape.

For every good roll of duct tape, there’s a tide pod “challenge”

To the point that as he got big the games might go the other way because he’s affected the timeline too much

In all honesty, and as bad as it sounds, this may not be the best move. The amount of technological advancement that came out of WW2 is astronomical. tRant may even cease to exist


That technology would have been developed anyway, although the pace and timeline of advances might change. To me, slowed advancement seems like a fair tradeoff for sparing the lives of millions of people and preventing the wholesale destruction of countries and continents. Choke the shite out of one little Kraut baby to avoid worldwide calamity. I'd even pencil a little mustache on him before he gets asphyxiated.

You don’t have to kill Hitler and risk incarceration. Just help the mf get into art school.

Go streaking in front of JFK's limousine in Dealey Plaza on Nov 23, 1963.

If I could pick the time and place, then June 28, 1914 on a certain street corner in Sarajevo and cause a big disturbance to get Gavrilo Princip‘s attention focused on me so he doesn’t see Archduke Ferdinand’s car drive by. Princip’s assassination of the Archduke’s sparked WWI. WWI led to WWII. You stop the assignation and the chain of events that followed, who knows what the world would look like now.

Memorize a geological survey of the California gold rush, Texas oil fields, etc. Go back in time and become history's greatest prospector/wildcatter. You wouldn't even have to do any work yourself. People would beat a path to your door and give you vast sums to point at a map and say, "look here."



Just patent this before Howard Hughes Sr and you'll be very very wealthy.
