If you had a timemachine where would you go?
 
If I had a time machine I would go back to the 1500's smash up my time machine and stay there.

About 10 years ago so that I can predict stuff that happens and be right. Random, but it'd be cool.

Anywhere but our present-day Idiocracy. ::big grin:: ::sad::

Going back to make some money is always a thought.

But I'd be tempted to see the future at 10 year increments. Eventually making some big jumps... which would be dangerous. How do you prevent materializing into a solid objects?

1800's to hang out with Vincent van Gogh.

I'm all for going back to the 80s! That decade had the best music and movies and I wasn't even born yet.

Although if I did use the time machine for personal reasons, going back to my college days and punching myself in the throat sounds like an idea...

Why would you punch yourself in college? Were you a meanie?

DeadbeatAtDawn 03-26-2016 06:53 PM

The 1970's and see Black Sabbath in their prime.. ::love::

Thumb resize.

Martha 03-26-2016 11:25 PM

Around the late 1700's during the time of the French Revolution and Colonial America'

Love the clothing and hair styles.

The future so dark you'll need a flashlights.

Partially, but that's not why. I was an idiot. Not even the fun kind who experienced life with parties and drugs. I went to school because I didn't know what I was doing and now I owe a fuck ton of money for a degree I'm not even using. Also I dated my best friend's brother. That was probably the dumbest thing I've ever done. ::roll eyes::

Technically, because the earth is rotating and revolving around the sun, the galaxy is also rotating and getting further from the center of the universe, you'd most likely materialize in some random point of space.

Ah, I see. I was the good type of idiot. What ya get a degree in? And what was wrong with dating you BF's brother? Ya have to try to see if two people are compatible. Youre all adults now.

It ain't like dustin crops, boy!

Just need a navicomputer to adjust your place, direction, speed and whalla!

I'm going back to 1944 to meet my Father when he was twenty years old. I'm leaving in two hours.

Jake.Ashworth 03-28-2016 05:38 AM

My time machine would absolutely be able to handle the big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff that's out there.

Sorry, Who geek...

I would probably want to see my Great Grandparents as they where when they where my age. And I would probably be interested in making sure my wife outlived me because I cant stand thinking I might have to live a portion of my life, no matter how small, without her. Otherwise, time can go fuck itself. Its making me old, its making my babies not be my babies anymore, its stealing my health... I hate time.

Good point.

tfantasy 03-28-2016 09:34 PM

I want to go back to my ancestors in Ireland and Scotland and fight like they did in Braveheart!

anglewitch 03-30-2016 10:24 AM

Another thing I might do is go fight along side my Saxon brothers, or maybe Denmark, or maybe the Hungarians. Hmmmmmm....

Chevalier 03-31-2016 08:46 PM

I would go back to a 16 to 19 year old me, and tell him that eleven years from then that he would be asking the girl that he met that he would be asking her to marry her, and the demons from his past will catch up with him. Maybe she won't, because she needs time.

I would tell him that his lies aren't building him a palace and are tearing everything down.

I would tell him that being mad at the world for being crippled in a car accident wasn't going to give him any comfort, and to tell him that the amphetamines that he's secretly taking will do nothing except screw up every relationship that he has. Yes, he will be able to rebuild but the costs to do so down the road will be to much.

I would tell him that his dreams can come true. That no matter how much his father runs him down that he can pursue that engineering and mathematics degree that he wants, and that nothing is stopping him but himself and the opinions of people that can't bring themselves to love him. His whole life will hurt from leaving college, and it wouldn't be anyone else fault but his.

Sorry, that's way to personal, but that's what's on my mind tonight.

Wow, Chevalier, you had me at, "he would be asking him that she would never be her last his till her was his". Will you be my last friend? (april fools!)

Visual Design. I can sell my soul to advertising companies designing logos if I wanted to. I didn't realize at the time that the degree I was going for didn't have good business opportunities. And I refuse to do something so soul sucking.
Long story short; he was an idiot, I wanted to kill him, and it just made hanging out with his family really awkward.

Damn I feel like a future you is talking to a present me. (Currently having issues with wanting to go back to school but I'm the type who depends on other people's opinion of me and it's messing up my confidence.)

the 80s
 
I would go back to the 80s so that I could watch all of the Friday the 13ths in the theatre when they first came out!

Kat 04-04-2016 06:07 AM

Even though they were works of fiction, but the 1800s, with Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
