i'd go back to the early 1990 and go to a few warehouse parties

knird evol · 23-02-2011 05:12PM

I'd wish for a thousand wishes.

jackiebaron · 23-02-2011 05:13PM

I'd write down last weekend's lottery numbers then pop back to Last friday and buy a ticket.

Mongarra · 23-02-2011 05:13PM

Straight into the bookies with the next day's racing results.

Dravokivich · 23-02-2011 05:14PM

Chicago, May the 12th 2008....

...I'd drink slightly less whiskey and enjoy the company of those 2 sluts a hell of a lot more...

Back to last day of secondary school so I would try harder to shaft my french teacher.

You know there's no shortage of drugs and warehouse parties now right?

twinytwo · 23-02-2011 05:26PM

toss up between going back to 22 to save collins... or going back and putting two in haugheys head

Zigmund · 23-02-2011 05:36PM

I'd go to a few days ago.
Then i'd catch up with now, go back in time the same again.
Repeat to infinity - live forever!

I'd make a movie about you and call it Groundhog Day or something like that.

Some of things I'd like to go back and see..........

- be on the Titanic
- be at the assasination of JFK
- 1916 Rising
- Coluseum- Roman empire time

Sam Vimes · 23-02-2011 05:52PM

I'd go back to 1955 and make sure that my parents got together at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

Oh and warn myself about the Parkinson's

The act of you going back in time would change the result

How?

I know this is a pointless debate but just curious how that could possibly be the case?

Why would you want to be on the Titanic!?

The act of you travelling back to buy your ticket changes that time-line. Therefore it is very possible that your presence in the past even for a short time causes a massive change in the future in that time-line. Thus changing the lotto result numbers.
The butterfly effect if you will.

Note that the lotto numbers might change or they might not but is not as sure of a thing as you think.

FUTURE CONTINGENTS ARE ON THE INTERNET NOW?? WHERE WILL I BE SAFE?
It depends on your philosophical view of determinism, there's 3 possible ways this could work:

1. The world is free and random, which means even if you go back and do the numbers again without changing anything, they'll be different numbers as they are a matter of chance, so every time you draw them (even if in the past), the result will be equally random.

2. Soft determinism: Everything in the world is determined by something, but not everything is linked, meaning you can change stuff, but that will only change the things in the future directly relating to that, so writing down the numbers and going back will not change the result of the numbers, as long as you leave alone the particular sequence of events which pertains to the balls coming out of the drum.

3. Hard determinism: The above view.

There's others but I'm hung over.

Personally I'd learn how to play a load of hendrix songs, go back to before he composed half of them, and befriend him via my massive songwriting genius, all so I can drop a **** load of acid and jam at woodstock.

Either that or go back to last sunday and have that really good **** again. That was a deadly ****.

I've always had a fascination with the Titanic, I'm not saying that i'd like to drown or anything:D But I'd like to have seen what it looked like, what the people were like, what the experience before, during and after the sinking was like!

I imagine your username would be appropriate in the latter case.

Latchy · 23-02-2011 07:04PM

One choice ? hmmm....

Dealy Plazza Dallas , November 22 1963 .So I can see if there really was a shoooter behind that picket fence

But with benefit of hindsight , this would only affect the dynamics of history ,the molecules of the universe and probably knock the earth of it's axis :pac:

You can just bring your jetpack along with you, so when it is about to sink you can fly off into the distance.
