That's a long way to go to get shot down by a woman out of your league.

Go back to 2017 and charter a jet.

Fly to the lab where Alpelisib is being developed and tell them it works, but the hyperglycemia is a bigger issue than they realize.
Give them all the money I have to speed development.

I'd want to meet some of my ancestors. Then I'd time warp to Montmartre 1899 and drink some wine and absinthe with the famous artists before swinging by Wall Street to pick up some stock certificates and land parcels before heading back to the present day

I'd go back and make Obama and Kambala's dad's both pull out.

1st thing first go to my late 20s and divorce my ex wife, And then win that first 1billion dollar lotto, then invest half of winning in real estate and rentals and then 2nd half of winning go to 3 40’ boats, 3 20’ flats/bay boats, 3 houses one on the water in panhandle, one on the water in kw, 1 in the mountains on the trinity river or something farther south in cali. And the rest put in saving banks and invested for the 3 kids I would have.

Live off of all the rental and investment properties and die of skin cancer probably by late 60s 70s would only use it 1x and break it to much bad should could happen.

Go back 10 years and have dinner with my mom and dad. Then take my mom to the cancer doc.

Go to the future to find the cure to Alzheimer's and dementia, then go back to around 2010 and start my mom on the treatment.

I feel like there will be a preventative drug in the next 10 years...

A cure, not so sure.

No one would try to convince Pete Carroll to run the football?

That will work too.

And I hope you're right. That will be good timing for me and my siblings.

Easiest answer for me.

Go to when I was a teen, give my dad the winning lotto numbers of a huge jackpot that no one won, tell him not to tell my mom cause she'd go crazy on spending and vacations

Get my fund in time for the 2008 crash, buy all the stocks at the lowest and hold until 2019, cash out and do it again in 2020. Buy another lotto ticket for me when I turned 21

After I was set up and lived everything exactly how it is now (but rich), I'd go see historical events to see what really happened
1. Go see Jesus
2. Confirm/debunk some major conspiracy theories, like JFK, Roanoke Colony, etc
3. Witness major battles in US history
4. Find out who famous unknown people are (Jack the Ripper, DB Cooper, Zodiac)
5. Get the facts on majorly debated historical events/figures, as in, did Helen of Troy really have the face that launched 1000 ships? Or finding lost/debated sites

I'd be busy

I've always wanted to see pre-history. Would like to go back to paleolithic and talk to them baws over a campfire. I would only last a day, so I'd need a way to return.

Would also like to visit Greece in 1200 BC and see how many of Homer's tales were real and how much was made-up. While I was there, I'd visit Egypt and chill with the pharaoh. Then I'd go to Anatolia and visit the Hittites. Ultimately I would like to see if I could learn what caused the bronze age collapse as it's one of the largest questions to historians that study that period.

I'd go back to the 40's and give out free condoms to all Democrats so there numbers would start decreasing.

Here's a question for you: What do you call 10,000 Democrats chained to the bottom of the sea?
Answer: A pretty good start!

On my way back, I’d stop in the year 1918 to 1919 and travel across the country advising state legislatures on the eventual results of a certain amendment then being considered for ratification.


It probably gets approved at a later date.

I’d like to go back to October 1, 2017 as a fly on the wall in Mandalay Bay room 32–135 to find out what the frick really went down.

And I am NOT a conspiracy guy.
