The Time Travel Thread - Make your choice!

I was just thinking how nice it might be to travel back in time and live in one of those ancient, unknown civilizations that nobody even today knows existed. So that got me thinking what would you all do given that choice? You can move to the future, past, or stay here in the present (HELL) and it can be any number of years, let me know what you'd do and talk about why! What do you imagine it might be like?

Answer: I'd move to the past because it's quieter there, no machines, people and living are generally easier. There'd be no cell phones, no drama, all we'd need to worry about is day-to-day living. I'd try finding a place to live that was made of those stone pyramid type homes because they should hold up relatively well. I would like it to be a smaller community and we could live like one big supportive family. I imagine I'd be a medicine man or Shaman :S Perhaps one of the local girls would like me too

Travel back in time and you would probably end up dying of some infectious disease, injury or infection, remember no penicillin and no anesthesia, no surgery.
The average life expectancy would be 40 years.

And the monkey butlers would do all the work.

 

Maybe they'd make you the Winter King.

The future.

I wanna hang out with the Morlocks, and eat barbecued Eloi

 

I'd head way, way, way, way, way back and dump a drum of Drain-O into the primordeal ooze pool that gave rise to all life on Earth...

Pre-Emptive Strike, baby !!!!

You'd come back to the present......... only to discover that all life on earth evolved from Drain-o, and everybody is forced to use something far more caustic to get turds to go down the pipes.

 

Pretty fuckin bad future!

 

`
Oh, I don't know...

...Perhaps all that Drain-O based crap would in effect make everyone's pipes "self-cleaning".

It could very well be considered a paradise on Earth.

 

WW2 around Pearl Harbor to warn them.

 

You mean like... ...Pompei, or Herculaneum ?

A glimps into the future to see if North America's main language is Spanish or Chinese.

 

future, because you can't fuck stuff up that hasn't happened yet!

and I just really want to see the future tech stuff.

 

The (very) distant past most definitely; the Carboniferous.
I would take a gun with me to kill myself when necessary though. Or can I travel back?

 

but what would be different today because of that?

 

"Stuff that hasn't happened yet" doesn't exist. Whatever age you are in has a future.

 

Actually it makes more sense to back to that point with a six pack, drink all of it, get wasted and then piss into the pool.... Then you get to say "I went back in time, I totally pissed on all of you... now wheres my lousy T-shirt?!?". Of course it would explain an awful lot in regards to evolution, after all urine would consist of many of the basic building blocks required to develop life.

 

Oh hey, maybe I'll travel back to the time when humanity went through a bottleneck and kill them all

well regardless of where anyone goes, they must have a video camera with them, and either a time capsule, or a way to get back, depending on whether or not you go to the past or future.
