This video got me thinking. I’m not sure how I would even go about that. I do know I would place a lot of bets.

Unless they just happened, I'm not screwing around with the past, it could change the present.

Nope.

Either 2 things would happen:

1 - You get arrested for knowing about it/conspiracy

2 - You eventually forget about one and people hate you for not knowing about it and warning everyone

No, because you could be creating something far worse by intervening.

No one can see what happens that far down the road as a result of human intervention.

As a time traveler, I would be the world's first trillionare and really wouldn't give a shite about anything else.

If I could travel through time, to hell with preventing attacks and disasters. I've got other plans...

I’d go back and place weird things out of place in historical events just to throw people off.

1066-the Magna Carta- insert “that’s a geaux Tigers.”

1492-Colombus arrives in the new world to find...a life size animatronic Lincoln, powered by vines and guinea Pigs on wheels. It shoots fire and spouts catchphrases from the 90s like “whoomp there it is.”


I’ll leave a fleshlight in Da Vinci’s Last Supper.

They’ll find a furby when they excavate the battle of Bosworth field.

It will drive them mad!

I'd bet a lot.


But if I'm being honest about being a time traveling demigod.

I would abduct women from fatal catastrophes and have era themed sex rooms.

So I would be like that Millennium movie + Zeus - fricking as a swan or golden showers.

I’d find Aly Michalka before she got married and ground hog day her until I got her to fall in love with me.

The "uncaused cause" is my thinking on this sort of thing. If you go back in time to prevent something from happening and prevent it from happening, you have no reason to go back in time to prevent it from happening.

I reckon you'd get into forming alternate timeline possibilities after that.

I do have to say I would go back to face off with the first guy who was thinking "I'm gonna buy me some of these Africans and bring them to the colonies" and slap him right across his beak and tell him to pick his own god damned cotton, it wasn't worth it.

Also, find the first guy who didn't give his wife a slap the first time she said "honey, I think............" and kick him right in his balls.

I'd probably only go back 7 weeks or so, which is after my son was born (2 months old) and place outrageous sports bets every week and multiply my winnings over and over and over.

Can't risk butterfly effecting my life and not having my son.
