If you could go back in time and change something what would you do

Find out Einstein's last words.

First I'd abuse time travel in order to win the lottery as many times as I need to make me a billionaire.

Then I'd go back to the early 2000's and buy Rareware before Microsoft can and make sure they stay on Nintendo systems.

Then I'd go back to the present and finally be able to Get Banjo and Conker on the Wii U VC.

I'd beat up my past self for being such a lazy fool (even though I still am).

I'd probably pursue more relationships.

I'd try to get a job before I became useless.

I'd tell myself to watch where I was putting my feet and to duck....

Why is that?

If I went back before I was born I would try to stop the Library of Alexandria from getting burnt down as I heard if that hadn't happened the dark ages would have not happened and we would be hundreds of years ahead in terms of technology

I would convince myself to join a sorority, get better grades in college, and be more social.

travel back in time after Walt Disney became successful and show him his influence in the form of Attack on Titan(to see his reaction) and RWBY(because Monty Oum)

Since I can go back in time, I'm just going to assume that I'm extremely powerful. So, I'd just take little baby me fresh out of the womb, and give it to some other parent for them to raise, and observe how that environment would affect the personality. Y'know, for science?

I'd go back and tell Robert Altman that it would help if he made the dialogue in his films audible so you could tell what's going on.

And get the 18 minutes of Watergate tape that were erased so the whole world will know what really happened.

But realistically, if I did do that, I'd probably fix some stupid life decisions I've made that haven't paid off in something good and likely never will.

I'd probably go back and see my grandmother back when I was a wee baby, before she died. Mom always talked a lot about how she had such of a hard life, but when she saw me it was like her life changed for the better.

And maybe convince my parents to get five year old me to homeschooled instead. Would save the mental trauma from being bullied.

Yeah these were really sad. Life was pretty screwy for me. :/

I'd also brought the entirety of Ben and Jery's and HAIL AS ICE CREAM QUEEN

I'd go back in time to save a ton of films that are considered lost. The Library of Congress estimates that seventy to ninety percent of films made between 1912 and 1929 are forever gone.

Go back to when I was 12.

Find my childhood friend who introduced me to anime.

....

....

....Punch him in the dick, and give my past self a list of good (but not too hard) books and movies, and tell him to get busy.

Or better yet, persuade him really hard to study hard(er) to be a medical doctor.

If I could go back in time, it would be to give myself the plans to build a time machine (a fresh reprint of the age-worn old copy) then begin experimenting with time travel to make sure I DON'T cause a Temporal Paradox. Then I'd change the spelling of wyrds for no conceivable reyson. Either that or earn money in 1700s and 1800s, buy the money in a secure location, and dig the coins up every time I need more money and auction them off to coin collectors. A tuppence can go a long way.

If I were to change history, everything in the minkovsky cone after that would be on my shoulders, for better or worse. I would be wiping away a portion of history for all humanity, placing my own judgement above what they lived. Anything bad resulting from it, and some there would certainly be, would be in some way my responsibility. I don't know if I could take that.

I would like to think that there are mistakes in my life I should correct, but the fact is they were not single mistakes but part of a pattern of how I acted that will take more than an intervention from the future to change.

Make Planet Puzzle League not be terrible Get myself laid Uncancel English Nintendo Puzzle Collection I know better than to be screwing around in time. I've seen Back to the Future, I know the repercussions.

Have Panel de Pon released unedited internationally

Get the first 4 Starfy games localized in North America and Europe.

@Baconmaniac: because ripping all the ligaments out of your knee hurts like buggery. As do bullets.

I would be more than happy to simply go back in time, whether to elementary days or further on, with the knowledge I do now, and simply make better decisions than the ones I did. Well, that and maybe beat people to the punch with ideas. Not stealing mind you, just beating them to the punch.

I would travel trough time trying to collect as many autographs of famous people I can, and then marry one and live forever happily. H.P. Lovecraft and Degas are on the top of my hit list.

I'd go back in time to witness and solve a lot of mysteries. Who Jack the Ripper was, who the Zodiac Killer was, what happened at Hinterkaifeck, where Jimmy Hoffa ended up.
