Make it a good one.
Go back to the Garden of Eden with a bucket, grab all the apples, then head back.
Can I appear anywhere? Pop into white house or Kremlin during the Cuban missile crisis and say: I’m from the future, you must attack, or… Then travel back to the future without finishing the sentence.
If I ever got sick from something like COVID, I’d just go back to medieval Europe and let it spread like wildfire. I guarantee this modern disease would absolutely wipe out a large majority of Europe and everywhere else it spreads in the world. And little to no effort besides waiting for if I ever get it (which I thankfully never have had and hope I never will).
I’m not sure if it would. Travel was awfully slow back then.
Fair enough, but I’d at least end a good amount of family trees if I’m lucky.
Much more virulent diseases didn’t wipe out Humanity I don’t know why that one would.
Let the Cuban missile crisis actually happen?
Shoot Arch Duke Ferdinand. Few people even now about it today, but he was subject to a horribly mangled assassination attempt that many scholars belive would have set off a major war in Europe had he died.
My name is Friedrich Trump (aka Frederick Trump) and I already did that and even had a nice hump.
Buy a cheap pistol, go back in time, and shoot Gutenberg.
We’d still be living in medieval times.
I support this one.
Go to back to the big bang. You presence alone will butterfly effect the earth out of existence.
Bring COVID and HIV to the USA in 1929.
Maybe Zika as well.
Lowkey, just travelling back may be enough with the amount of diseases we would carry with us
Go back in time and do something to prevent Vasily Aleksandrovich Arkhipov from becoming the Executive Officer on the B-59 Soviet nuclear sub in October 1962. He’s the guy who talked the Captain and the Political Officer out of launching the nukes when they thought they were being attacked by the US Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. His persuasiveness is generally considered to have avoided WWIII from starting then.
He probably literally saved the world, he should really be talked about more
The scary part is, he’s not the only one
You could also flip the switch that was literally the only thing keeping the nuke from exploding over North Carolina in the Goldsboro incident.
Nuke going off over US soil at the height of the cold war could very well have started everyone firing.
I legit popped this thread open to type
ohhh I wish I wish I hadn’t killed that fish…
Procrastinate, the world is going down the drain just fine without my help.
Go punt kick the first fish back into the ocean as it tries to waddle it’s fat ass out of the water.
I know that’s not how evolution works but I can dream… Life would likely be vastly different given such a long period of time with something like that changing either way.
You’re going to pretend we’re not on that timeline right now? I see your play, time traveller.
He did it.
The crazy son of a bitch did it.
