Hint: You can prevent https://lifeline4gaza.com/ <- this from happening, or solve the unsolveable historical mysteries that haunt us all.

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.

    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…

    I tell general Butler to accept Lincolns VP position. Then leave a time capsule in the future USSR to be opened in 1920 or so with instructions for building computers

    Take a slide rule to ancient Babylon because on some level I’m morally offended we didn’t figure that one out until the 17th century. Ideally this also snipes a variety of terrible numeral systems.

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

    About 300 million years ago.

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

    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 and don’t invest in any other coins.

    Also younger self, you don’t have just a little social ineptitude, you have full-blown autism.
    Also younger self, invest in Novo Nordisk and get some Ozempic the moment you have the chance.
    Also younger self, congratulations on being mostly right about what the future of world politics and technology would hold, including the US becoming fascist, but here’s an updated version of it.

    Call me selfish, but I’d go back two weeks and salt the walkway for sick Cracks and company.

    Was a very Life is Strange-esque, ‘this action will have consequences’ branching path event.
