If you had a time machine?

What would you do? I would go back and have a look at the Dinosaurs or have a wonder around ancient Rome I think. Yeah I would probably be eaten by the dinosaurs, but in this scenario, as soon as you die the time machine takes you back to the present day and restores you to full health. So a magic time machine I suppose

Go back to midnight last night and jump into bed again!

I'm a man of simple pleasures!

Is go back and kill Hitler then help Einstein create the chronosphere.

Osgoodisgood · 22-02-2012 11:27AM

I'd like to go back to 10.24

Me... At the side of James Connolly - GPO 1916.

Dublin just after the 1916 rising to have a wander around while listening to the locals chatting and then fast foreward to Dealy Plazza Dallas 1963 so I can check out that grassy knoll **** ..

chin_grin · 22-02-2012 11:35AM

I'd go back just before another user posted one of these threads and smack them in the face.

Like a time-travelling Tango man.

sbsquarepants · 22-02-2012 11:36AM

Maybe i just aint as noble as some AHers, but i have 3 words for what i'd do with my time machine. Euro Millions Numbers - i too am a man of simple pleasures and after i'd amassed a few hundred million in winnings i'd be simply pleased:D

Duggy747 · 22-02-2012 11:36AM

Go back in time and tell my younger self to invent Facebook or see Queen live at Wimbley in 1986.

Oh, and also to bring more plutonium for the DeLorean when he goes back in time. Now he's stuck with me, his future self. Much hilarity ensues!

Rated PG-13

I'd much prefer a thyme machine. A machine that produces the best tasting thyme on demand. Imagine that.

There are worse failed rebellions to end up at, I guess....

Jedward --> Letterfrack Industrial School, c.1950.

Hitler? Dallas? Its a time machine, not a place machine - we already have those. Lol

I'd just have to go back 2000 years and check out Jesus and the gang... Imagine having the 411 on that whole gig?

That's just the script I had in mind Hayley Muscular Guava ...that's the script

Standard Toaster · 22-02-2012 11:46AM

The time of the Vikings.
Rape and pillage for one and all.

Maybe June 6, 1944 - D-Day too.

foxyboxer · 22-02-2012 11:46AM

I'd go back to the time Jesus was in the desert for the first Lent just as the hunger starts to kick in.

With Ferroro Rochers and Pringles.

Mwuhahahahaha.

Well, it'd have to be able to adjust for the orbit of the earth, otherwise travelling back would leave you spinning in space, forever.

No, I have not spent a lot of time thinking about the mechanics of this, honestly.

AngryBollix · 22-02-2012 11:48AM

I'd go back to 1994. I'd empty my scrotum into my french teacher given another opportunity

Yea but we could always stop the clock on the 'time machine ' ...I'm sure the GI's on Ohmaha beach on D Day 1944 would take that advantage ...

I'd go forward a week first, grab next week's lotto number. Then a few hundred years, to see how this bad boy turns out. Going back in time is for chumps.
Steal some advanced medical equipment, then spend the rest of my life reverse engineering it and being hailed as the greatest inventor of all time while simultaneously inventing the devices which will prolong my life by hundreds of years.

To the year 24 million. I'm planning a book series about time travellers so I'd like to get a more realistic idea of what it's going to be like.

This. Going ack to say Rome and trying to make it there would be hard. You'd have to learn Greek for a start. Then you'd have to avoid being enslaved or burned as a sorcerer. Better to go forward(and more possible) and see if this talked about singularity ever comes about.

Mr Benevolent · 22-02-2012 01:34PM

I'd go back and stop Doctor Who being created. That'd cause plenty of time paradoxes.

Kevwoody · 22-02-2012 01:42PM

I'd go back and kill the celtic tiger when it's a cub, things might not be so ****ed up now
