Premise: the continuum is bullshit and can do whatever idk, viewing only or with alterations, depending on what makes sense to you. It’s not a contest to do the most (well okay it is but that could limit our inquiry), just whatever occurs to you first.

    2009 January 8, going to my own apartment and bringing a modern server and USB stick to myself.
    The next day I’d put some files on the USB stick and give it to my younger self and give him instructions to only sell 5% per year.

      Absolutely terrible idea, why would you want Tsarism to persist?! If anything, saving Lenin and Sverdlov would have probably helped the early soviets.

    Dec 15th, 1791 along with an AR-15 and four high capacity magazines just to explain something to a few people.

      Why not bring a metal storm gun and 8 million rounds of ammunition?

      Brooks Brothers Rioters. Cut all their valve stems. Also, maybe do something about the SC, because they just handed the election to Bush anyway.

        Alternatively I’d somehow stop the Taft-Hartley act from passing. It prevented trade unions from making political donations until Citizens United vs FEC.

    About 300 million years ago.

    That’s the earliest time that you could still breathe comfortably.

    I’d go back to 1921 and save the original communist party heads of my country. Maybe we would have a better chance that way.

    I’d go to this date and buy this ticket. I’d buy this ticket because there was no winner and next week was a 1.8 billion dollar winner

        How is it a gamble if I already know the answer? That’s not gambling. That’s going and picking up the winning ticket. trying to see how this is a bad thing for anybody. I mean, other than the person who won on the next round.

    I would go back to 1955 (yes, kinda ironic to think of it), with more modern medical instruments, anesthesia, sterilization, etc, and try to save my Baby Blue uncle who I was named after. He was born with his intestines on the outside and only lived one day ☹️😭

    Yeah I’m no medical expert nor surgeon, but holy shit he might have had a better chance with more modern medical equipment and knowledge, I would have surely tried to do my most cautious best…
