Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, …) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it’s own energy stores and generation.
Where in history would you go if comfort wasn’t an issue?
How has no one mentioned dinosaurs yet? You disappoint me, Lemmy.
you can guarantee that at least one time travel willeth have ridden a dinosaur at some point
Absolutely nowhere. I’ll spend rest of my life enjoying myself in the tardis.
Shoot Trump’s dad
Go back to various ancient cities and just sit in the equivalent of the town square and watch a day go by. See the food! So many lost recipes. See the clothing??? We only know what the wealthy wore for the most part, I want to see what the majority of people ate, drank, wore, what their homes looked like. What did they do to pass the time??
right? walk a mile in the average person’s footsteps.
Though I’m now imagining some weird guy bursting into my house in strange garb, just as I’m about to go to work, excitedly pointing at my vacuum cleaner, and the bills on my table, and exclaiming “this is brilliant!”
Haha, I’d ask! If it’s a tardis, it should be translating and making me look like I fit in, yeah? At least clothing wise. I’d be a pale weirdo in a lot of places, but it should work! I’ll ask if I can visit, and bring them…wine works, right? That’s pretty ancient and won’t raise questions. That I’d answer with “it’s a gift from far awaaaaaaay” very awkwardly.
*Teleports into the middle of the Black Plague. Starts handing out lifesaving antibiotics in plastic pop pill sachets*
“Uhhh, a normal product from the East… yes…”
I’d love to witness the Chixilub impact. Or Pompeii, or any huge natural disaster. The bigger the better. I’d also like to figure out how the moon was actually created. Then see the sun swallow the earth at the end.
Those last two might require some careful planning on where to be to witness those events safely
first things first.
i would relax in my new Tardis, with all the needed luxuries, and take that in for a while. take care of me
“what would you do if your basic needs were met?”
“chill the fuck out”seems like a solid answer to me no joke
I’d go watch the pyramids being built, should be very interesting.
That’d take a long time unless you skip ahead a few years every now and then
The end of time and the edge of the universe to have a good meal at the restaurant.
It might just be a bistro
I would stop my kid self from taking the concerta I was prescribed and instead get him to drink a cup of coffee every morning, and would also give him advice for when he stops being a Christian and his parents go apeshit and try to desperately bring him back into the fold.
Also I would prefer to use a DeLorean
I genuinely think I fixed my ADHD with coffee. I know exactly how dumb that sounds, but I genuinely think it’s true. Sorry about your shitty parents. Hope they had their good moments.
Having both autism and ADHD, Concerta overstimulated me way too much. Kids probably shouldn’t be taking Concerta anyway
It’s not dumb, stimulants are stimulants.
Hard stimulants like Concerta and Adderall are better more for pure ADHD than for Autism+ADHD like I have. Anything stronger than caffeine overstimulates me too much, I wish I didn’t go years before realizing I was better off without it
I did what supposed to be done in Red Alert lore and see what happens.
The world without Tesla, Edition, Einstein. I guess we are running on magic now.
Wait I thought it was just a world without Hitler
Go back to before multicellular life evolved so nothing will bother me
The middle of the carboniferous, imagine forests growing for millions of years and wood not decaying. There should be mountains made of wood.
I’ve got a mountain made of wood…in my pants
I’d go as far back as possible and see how things came to be. And to the time our sun was born and later when our moon was formed. And I’d visits the time and watch earth meeting it’s end.
I’d love to see the future, because I really am hopeful for humanity to move beyond all this bullshit to some post scarcity utopia :)) Failing that, I’d probably go watch Phineas Gage’s big moment, because, woah.
I don’t think you’d want to go into the future after the point time travel was invented because then other time travellers will have been messing with the timeline back and forth a million ways.
I’d check out and record all of the Biblical/Qur’anic big moments at a prudent distance, probably (barring the times of Noah, lol). Then I’d die in the time machine as I try to come back to my time and share with others cause God wants belief in the unseen and through uncertainty, maybe. 😅
Write your own bible with the truth, distribute it to safe locations like Constantinople, Alexandria, and Baghdad.
Somehow I would be stopped, I feel it. And regardless, they’d corrupt my writings even if I was careful and entirely honest, and the lumpen would eat it up. Oh well. 🤷😅
'“Live and let live” he writes. Father, does that mean “Die and make Die also applies?”
