I’ll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

EDIT: I’ll clarify: You can’t affect the timeline. It means you cant go back to try to get rich with stocks, lottery, etc. It’s like going to see a movie, when you come back the world will be exactly the same. You can interact with people, but in the end, the day you spend in the past will not have existed for anyone but you, in your memories.

    At first I thought you meant “go back in time 24hs” in which case my answer would have been “yes! And get my haircut elsewhere!!!” But seeing what you mean for real, and with no consequences, I’d go back in time to see extinct animals. Shame I can’t bring photos back with me

      Lol, that’s how I read it too and it got me thinking about the most inconsequential change I could make in my life in the last 24 hours. Maybe I’d get an extra ketchup packet with my lunch combo. Mission accomplished I guess.

      Why would bringing back photos have consequences? It’s not like it’ll suddenly make them become extinct! I assume the OP means consequences on the past not future of course! :)
