Title: If you had a time machine....
Post by: gestaltassault2 on October 03, 2012, 09:49 pm
If you had a time machine but the conditions were you could only stay in that time period for 3 days or else you forfeit your ability to return to the present and you can only make one trip...

when and where would you go and what would you do?

1960's when acid was all about the love and the awesome music scene going on
would definitely have to go to woodstock and trip acid and listen to all the awesome bands there

would any of you disregard the 3 day limit and just stay in that time period for the rest of your life?

200 years from now everyone will either be a nuclear mutant or a cyborg in which case drugs are not drugs but programs that run on the cyborgs cyberbrain and cause it to run functions outside of its normal operation set...

meanwhile a spaceship carrying the remaining human race away from a ruined Earth is cruising through space towards Gliese 163C in hopes of starting a new civilization...

Here's another condition: you can bring anything you want with you to and from the time period but it has to fit in a backpack...what would you bring with you?

Since you could bring stuff forward or back in time with you in the backpack...what stuff would you bring from the present and why?

I'd bring the various RCs/psys/edibles/bomb ass dank/etc. of my preference, and go back to a few months before the invention of the bitcoin so I could sell and work to save up dough for a shit ton of bitcoins, meaning I'd stay past the 3 day limit and just chill. It wasn't that long ago, and it would be cool to have extra time to get my shit together. I'd be rolling in the dough if I bought and saved enough BTC too.

I know I could go to the 60's or whatever, but that just seems like an opportunity-less experience. No chance to further myself.

I would definitely go six or seven hundred years into the future. For one I would get a history of lottery drawing numbers and make sure to hit a big jackpot when I got back, so I would be very rich if I returned. It might be hard to track down this information quickly, but if there is still an internet it shouldn't be too hard to look up within such a timespan. Actually I would first put someone here in charge of maintaining a website that keeps track of lottery numbers, and then since when I get back I will be a billionare after winning two massive jackpots, I could use some of the interest from that to create a foundation that archives lottery numbers and other tidbits of information that I may find advantageous to know, so that I can record them in the future and bring them back with me.  Additionally, it is probable that in six or seven hundred years the state of medicine and technology in general will be extraordinarily advanced, if pseudo immortality has been achieved I would probably stay. At least I would bring back as much information with me as I could in an attempt to advance the present day to futuristic standards.

I wouldn't care exactly how many years into the future I would go, but roughly 1000, maybe 10 000 wouldn't hurt to be on the safe side. By then technology should allow me to travel through space-time in a man-built spacecraft. I would visit some other civilization(s) on some distant planet(s). So cool.  8)

Travel back as far as you like but you aint meeting no God. You will encounter a singularity followed by a big ol' bang and a sight imbalance between matter and anti-matter ratios which results in a whole lot of dust.

God only comes on the scene when man needs a convenient concept to explain what he is too unsophisticated to find out through science.

Sorry 'bout that.
