Title: If you could go to any other time era, which one (and where) would it be?
Post by: dtq123 on December 13, 2014, 12:04:47 AM
You may (or may not) use the ONE of the following options:
+Carry the knowledge of this world to where ever you go
+Bring one item, but only know what that item was used for
+Bring another person, but only they will remember the trip

You will NOT be able to return to this time era, so choose wisely 
Don't worry, no paradoxes will occur. Let's pretend you create a new universe because of your actions. :biggrin2:

I would go to the time where the bible was created, and I would bring my knowledge and mess them up XD. I wonder what would happen, At least the bible won't be able to exist in my new universe  :biggrin:

I'd go back in time to when you were about to be conceived, barge in to where your mom and dad was having sexy-time, and tell your dad to wear a condom.

BOOOOOSH!!!!!!! BUUUURRRRRNNNNNNNNN!!!!! :lol:


Nah just kidding. I had that one on the back shelf and wanted to let it loose on someone haha.

Several thousand years into the future.  Don't need an exact number.  Surprise me.

Assumming I'm not immediately dead from inhospitable conditions, I'd live in a society with technology beyond my wildest dreams...as the resident caveman with little/no hope of learning said technology.  Sort of a mixed bag, but the national spread of Google Fiber alone would make the trip worth it.

Needless to say, any further use of time travel would be undesirable with the exception of fine-tuning the landing to the most peaceful/prosperous time in that era.

I would as well go into the future, only I would be discovered in a type of time capsule and the world would be all atwitter at my "re-birth". The media would be all over me and I would be a world wide star as I entranced people with stories of how stupid humans were in the past. And as a lucky side note, do to some law of "diminishing returns" I would have the largest penis on the planet which naturally would create all kinds of fun and frolicking…..and oh yeah…I would also have this happen about 15 years ago…….yeah….I would need that for stamina…..

I would go back to the day before the last time nobody won the largest powerball jackpot. I'd carry the knowledge of the winning number combination and  money to buy a ticket.

Into the future at a time when religion, racism and right-wingerism are dead, and space travel is as easy as hopping into your car and driving to the grocery store.

Anywhere in the past in the US, where you knew that something big was going to happen. But getting to Sacramento 4 years before the California Gold Rush, prospecting, finding your gold and setting a claim and acquiring the Gold. You'd be one of the millionaires that built San Francisco 60 years before the earthquake. Buy property, live high, sell the property after it becomes a boom town, you'd be a very wealthy man in a few years, living on the frontier with no rules and doing anything you wanted. That is a good life.

I'd go with this option. That way, I wouldn't have to leave my friends and family forever.

I'd go back to just after WWII in the US in Las Vegas.  I'd bring with me a complete sports record book which would include all of the scores of the games played in hockey, baseball, basketball (college and pro) and football (college and pro) and all the other sports that are bet on in Vegas.  I'd soon own the place, if I wanted to.  At the very least, I'd be as wealthy as I'd want to be, with a never ending stream of wealth coming in.  Fairly quickly I'd be able to live as and where I'd like.

This is an interesting question.  I've often thought of going back to the past, to a time before the environment was getting fucked up so fast.  I would have enjoyed the vast wilderness that used to exist.  But then I think, given the number of times modern medicine has saved my life, it's probable that I would have died in my 30s, and I would have missed a bunch of good stuff.  As bad as the world sucks, I have lived through perhaps the best of times.  When it comes down to it, I'm inclined to stay put.

That is certainly a different wish.  One snag would be that Mary was not a real person.  That would be like trying to have sex with the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.

I'd pick this option.   I'd pick the early Roman empire.  By the time I'd finished you'd end up having smart phones by the 9th century.

There were many "Mary's" at the time. Jesus was real but had a different name.

I would also like to go to an undetermined time thousands of years into the future. I want to see if I'm missing any cool new scientific breakthroughs. I'm going to miss a lot after I'm dead, I think.

Yeah, but how will you know?  Two days after you die, the first worldwide nuclear war may break out.  I don't know about you, but I'd like to miss that.

I really don't know what you mean.  He was an invented mystery religion type savior god for political reasons.  There were thousands of 'Jesus' about that time--none were Jesus Christ--not in reality.   Jesus is as real as the tooth fairy, santa, the easter bunny, hercules, moses, or adam.  Or hundreds of others that were created for many different reasons.
