If you could change history with your time machine, what would you do?

1. I dropped my Starbucks Egg Bite on the floor yesterday. I’d totally go back and stop that shit from happening.

2. Force different race breeding so there’s no racial identities and therefore no racial wars.

3. Go back in time and merc the guy who made the time machine

4. I’d go back and change it to the Berenstein Bears.

5. Play the lottery.

6. I’d introduce germ theory thousands of years ahead of schedule and fasttrack the development of medicines and sterilization techniques.

7. Since the butterfly effect terrifies me, I’ll just go back far enough to win that like half a billion lottery from a few weeks ago.

8. I’d assassinate key political figures in the Roman empire.

9. I’d go back and have Karl Marx keep his thoughts to himself. Communism and the fight against it has cost millions of lives, the cold war, and the development of huge nuclear arsenals (which may prove to be the death of us all at some point in the future).

10. I would want to see the Ancient world. Jerusalem, Babylon, Rome, Athens. Can’t think of anything to change per se.

11. I would tell the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts to admit Hitler.

12. Give proper armaments to all the early civilizations and see where the borders end up.

13. America should’ve bombed Moscow at the end of WW2.

14. Make a different species the dominant life form on earth. Hunt the humans for sport, etc.

15. not let the library of alexandria burn down :’(

16. In my feed this was right below a meme about Human Centipede so…I think I’d start there

17. Tell Stalin about all the shit Khrushchev pulled after his death so he could prevent the collapse of the Soviet Union.

18. Personal gain. All personal gain.

19. I’d tell the Japs that Pearl Harbour would be a bad idea…

20. Go back 4 billion years and take a leak in the primordial soup. See what changes.

21. “Mr. Lincoln, I’m here to inform you that the play was mid.”

22. I’d make sure central banking never got invented.

23. I’d go homestead a shit ton of valuable land. And buy Microsoft and FB and Amazon stock.

24. I would go back and give my younger self advice

25. Save my brother

26. Not move to Australia this year. Biggest downgrade in my life. The people are shit and it’s boring. Flying anywhere is a long haul trip. And it’s basically been annexed by China.

27. Take goal line technology back to 1966.

28. Warn about the oncoming danger with the burning of the library of Alexandria

29. Save jfk

30. re-route the Kennedy car in 1963

31. Sink the Mayflower

32. I’d do the same thing I always do and go back to 1942 to make sure the Allies win WWII.

33. I’d use it to play Time Cop

34. Make sure I never existed.

35. Probably kill Mao Zedong. If you know, you know.

36. I’d do two things:

    First, go back to 1914 to prevent the assassination of Francis Ferdinand and prevent World War I from happening.

    Second: I’d invest in every single company and earth changing technology between now and then. I’d be the richest man in the USA

37. I’d go back to 1985.

38. Two chicks at the same time, man. That’s what I’d do.

39. Really, nothing. I’ve made many mistakes but what I have now is what I love.

40. Stop the formation of central banks everytime someone tries it.

41. Ehhh go into the future maybe get some cool powers, if not then the last moments of earth before the sun swallows it

42. Every beautiful chic of the decade, going back in history. That’s what I’d do.

    Skipping the family ties ofcourse.

43. That all depends on what kind of time travel I would be dealing with. Do I get to benefit from the changes or is it more of a butterfly effect? If I get the benefits then I would buy into Facebook and online gambling not to mention only fans. If it’s more of a butterfly effect then something way back in time but significant like talking over California during the gold rush or mercing a king’s advisor in just before a war or revolution break’s out.

44. Prevent my mom and dad’s relationship. Her whole life was wasted with him and she is tormented by that truth daily.

45. I’d go back to 5th November 1955 – in time for the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

46. I’d stop myself from being conceived.
