I would go to the stock market crash of 1929 and buy everything still around today.
Plus a ton of gold.

That's an easy one for me. I would go back to March 11th, 2019 and never take my 2 1/2 year old son to the clinic in NW Houston that caused his death that day.

Go back in time to when I dated that crazy nurse right out of college and a nice weekend long romp.

All you people talking about assassinating historical figures and shite…. I hope you realize that you might eliminate your own existence. Marx doesn’t write his book, the Soviet Union never exists, there is no Cold War, your 6 year old grandpa never meets your grandma at the duck and cover drill, etc. Butterfly effect.

I would have made the limo driver for JFK turn left on Main street instead of Elm street.

You definitely have to approach this as an observer or to set yourself up financially. Evils are often necessary and we are not going to create a utopia. Presuming I could go forward I would try and find out if we are able to extend our lives in some.type of dramatic fashion. I would go back and set up myself financially with the typical strategies we all know like buying bitcoin. My goal would be to have a body and mind that can keep going for an extreme amount of time and hopefully travel the universe

Since we're playing a Twilight Zone game, probably the first thing I'd do is go back and meet my "future" grandparents. Never knew any of them.

Bitcoin/apple/etc - the obvious stuff

I'd go back and see my Mom, grandparents, and all those family members who were lost. I'd definitely try to convince my Mom to get tested for pancreatic cancer long before it was diagnosed and took her life - maybe she'd still be here.

Historical - I'd go back and watch certain battles unfold. Go back to things like Colonial Williamsburg ( would have to have period clothes), etc.

I'd go back to see the dinosaurs - from a distance, of course.

Also, I am into metal detecting, so I'd take a topo map and go back to colonial times and mark where houses/taverns/etc sat and then return to metal detect around those areas.

And I'd go back and stop myself from getting involved with a couple rather questionable women. And since I still kick myself for not picking up on that chick's intentions at UGA, I'd go back and make sure at least one of us was satisfied

Make a boatload of money.

After that, go see Babe Ruth hit his 60th homerun of the 1927 season. Then I'll zip onto 1938 and see the Glenn Miller Orchestra play at the Cafe Rouge in the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. After that, who knows? Probably warn family members of certain medical conditions they could get treated early for and survive.

I'd go back and root for Queen Cait and Iowa over LSU and Angel Reese. One of the greatest shames of my life.

Constitutional Convention

1. Simple language and simple declarative sentences
2. Term and maximum age limits

Just to watch and not change anything

1. Jerusalem at the time of Christ
2. Custer at the Little Bighorn
3. Babe Ruth in his prime
4. Lexington and Concord
5. Tombstone and the OK Corral and Deadwood

I’d go to Jekyll Island in 1910 with an M240 and 2000 rounds
