I was just killin time and this thing popped into my mind. When i was a kid i always dreamt of making a time machine. So my question is ....If you had a time machine right now what would the first thing you'd do? I'm still trying to think of one.

I'd go back and look at the dinosaurs. I think that would be amazing.

The other thing I'd do is go back and place bets on races, events, etc. where I already know the outcome. Easy money.

I'd Build some Cheap PCs and go back to when IBM produced the first PC & sell them - just to annoy them.

Imagine seeing UT2K3 in 1985 (or whenever it was)

I would probably try to do the "Quantam Leap" thing. GO through time righting wrongs...World Trade Center...ethnic cleansing in Kosovo, Africa, prevent Mr Luther King from getting shot...Stuff like that. I'd also like to go see a real live gladiator fight in the colloseum in ROme. I'd like to see all the ancient civlizations in there golden days...Egypt, Rome, Aztec, Perasian, Babylonian...ect...I think it would be amazing see a couple of events too. I'd want to see the Pyramids being built, the meteor hit that wiped out the dinosaurs, and Jesus' birth and crucifixion.

I'd go back in time to simply see my memories, relive them.
I could relive the lost opportunities, perhaps beat up those that made my 3rd grade hell at some point, and simply explore what the world looked like, in very old times. I like the medieval times, just like I could use a time machine to see in the future.

I would go back to about 1600.
I think I would take a clone army with me,(thousands of me) well armed and trained, at least 100 tanks. apache helicopters, f-16s, etc. etc.(all running on high powered hydrogen fuel cell power plants)
Build a few fortresses, probably east coast, and west coast of America, and one in middle east,one in Britain for the navy, and one in China.
Then My small army would take over the world hahahahahehehehehahahaha(Dr. Evil laughter)
And My heirs would rule the world in "peace and harmony"

First off, it would be a Delorean from Back to the Future, just because.

I'd go straight to the future, 50 years is a good number. I'd stay for a few seconds, because who knows what security measures or biological stuff might be around.

Then I'd read up on tons of conspiracies (JFK, moon walking, etc) and visit them all and find out the truth. After all the fun stuff, I'd get some winning lottery numbers and retire



It's all good ^_^

Reply to namek0

Here's how you do it.....

Get a list of all companies that survived the 1929 depression...go into the future(say 100-200 years), and see which ones of these are still around. Then, you do the lottery thing like was mentioned....go back to 1929 and buy up EVERY stock you could find (thats on the list of surviving companies), put these stocks in a trust, come back to our time, and BANG! You are now the richest person on the earth, as well as anonymous...

Even better is that you will still have the capability to get richer and richer every day...just by hanging on to these stocks....AND you will have already made sure that your future, as well as the future of your descendants is secured (because you went into the future and checked...)

Or......just go back and kill the guy who invented the paperclip or stapler, "INVENT" the stapler or paperclip yourself, and be happy....

Or....Go far enough into the future that they perfect cloning technology, then go back and get DNA samples from certain people like Einstein....and clone them....do something good for humanity....

Then, after you've done these things.....you could do some fun stuff....but thats a different....much longer post.....

JFK would be a good one.

What if you took a walk over to the grassy knoll.....

I reckon the Kennedy brothers could have done so much. They did so much in so little time as it was.

I'd go back to right after world war 2 and snag myself some old war planes: a p-51 D type, a p-38 would be nessecary as well as a corsair and a B-25 and B-17... and then I would go forward in time and get a collection of encyclopedias and go back and give them to one of my ancestors so he could invent things and make the family rich for years and years, I would also go back in time to when my parents were having sex to have me and run into the room screaming hi I'm your son from the future slap my dad on the ass and leave (an imaginary nickle to who ever knows which comic said that)

I'd go back to when Hitler was a student and try to change his mind about his ideals, as killing him wouldn't neccessarily alter the course of the future. And if he didn't change, I'd still shoot his punk ass and leave him in a ditch. Just 'cause he was a wanker.

Then I'd take out his Generals, Goerring and all his cronies. At least that way, there'd be no holocaust.

And then I'd travel to see Saddam aged six and steal his sweets and toys. That'd teach him.

I would right all wrongs ever by doing just one thing: I'd go back in time and shoot eve before she could tempt poor innocent adam into eating that fruit.

but then there is the question of temporal paradox, if I went back and shot eve, then I would never have existed and therefore not have shot her. And if I had not shot her I would have existed to travel back in time to shoot her. Time travel is impossible because it is a contradiction: If you could change the past then it would be changed, and you would not need to change the past, which would leave the past unchanged.

Yeay, but before you shot her, wouldn't you want to give her one? I mean, she's naked and quite frankly, gagging for it? That'd piss Adam off!

I'd go back and find the people that stole my bike and broke into my car. I'd kick their asses and then dump their bodies over in the outskirts of Las Vegas.

Plus, i'd go into the future and buy a totally cheap super fastlaptop and bring it back.

Hmmm... first some sightseeing around the world.

Then I will prevent Bush from 'winning' the elections, prevent Saddam from getting a dictator and visit Osama to give him back the candy America stole from him when he was a kid and that gave him a huge traume and hate against America.

Killing Hitler before WW2 isn't a very good idea... you've seen the results in Red Alert.

Oh, and I will prevent the creation of Israel and create it with agreement of the Arabic countries... that will solve a lot of problems.

Oh and ofcourse I will go into the future and get a quantum computer to take back in time and study nuclear fusion so I can solve the energy problem.

Not in 1948 right away... like it is done now.

But if it was done more slowly it would probably created less hate and aggression. Although I still stand that Israel should never been created... especially not with the argument: 'But they got treathed so badly in WW2'... Face it they've always been treated wrong during centuries. And why didn't we gave the Roma a country too? They got treathened just as bad in WW2.

In Red Alert Einstein travels back in time and kills Hitler somewhere in the thirties. WW2 wasn't started because of that... but Stalin got so powerfull that he invaded entire Europe.

Now why do we always have to drag everything into a political discussion. I posted this thinking it'd be a nice break from all the bush-saddam [-peep-], which i am totally sick of now. Cant we just have a light laugh for a change. Theres just too much tension around nowadays for my liking.
