I travel back, too, right?
1 day at a time (10x total) is a enough to make billions in the stock market.
So, sure, I lose 20 days but I'm swimming in hookers and blow the rest of my life.

See the birth?
No one knows the address.
Joseph would not like you looking at his wifes snatch while baby jesus exits, even if the address was known, which it isnt.

Loading up on guns, ammo, and exploives.....going back to a time pre-firearms and robbing a huge gold shipment.
Bury it.
Return to present.
Dig it up.....
Contact LSUAlum2001 on time travel stock investment.....profit.
But why can't we go to the future?
If we can go to the past....then we have to go to the future to return to the present....so how do we know we are living in the present and not the past and if we are living in the past then we should be able to go to the future which in fact is the present.....

Easy.
Go back in time, make a killing in the stock market or sports gambling.
Bury cash somewhere remote.
Return to present. Dig up.
Profit.

Why not travel into the future. Id like to see what beings are living here 100k years from now when humans are extinct.

I would stop that dang kid from jumping in the gorilla enclosure.

I think most of us on this board would take our ARs and go help the good guys win the war of northern aggression

You can only travel to the past
Therefore, he would die the instant he returns to the past because the rest of his life would be spent there and because of that, his lifespan would be reduced by double that amount of time.

Here's a better one:
What if heroin made you live forever and not age but you had to take heroin all the time? Would you do it?

This right here.
Maybe I'm incurious, lazy, and/or greedy but I don't give a hoot to go watch some historical event that won't benefit me in my "real time".
Take me back with a $100,000 to the day of Microsoft's IPO. Someone who invested $10,000 in the company's IPO would own a stake worth roughly close to $3,000,000 today, so I would have roughly $30,000,000.
Day of Apple's IPO with an investment of $100,000? Worth roughly $29,000,000 today.
I'd go back to those two days and set my family up for a couple of generations.

I would take out a loan with all equity I had. Would take all cash and travel to a bank prior to my birth, and open an interest bearing account in my name with instructions to notify me of it in 20 years (or whenever I would teach 20 years old. (Or I'd go back and invest it all in Microsoft or something....)
