If You Had A Time Machine And A Wad Of Cash...

[ecnarf]

If I had a time machine, I would go back to New Orleans in August 2005 and buy one of those carboats. Then, when the flood hit, I would hop in my carboat and drive away to freedom, laughing at all the other fools who thought that carboats were useless.

 

Share your ideas, and anyone who mentions "go back and play the stock market" gets banned.

I would go back in time to relive all past concerts that I wanted to see but missed. Pearl Jam, U2, Matthew Good Band (BM era)....

[sodamntired]

i would go back to the International Noise Conspiracy in Dinkytown, Minnesota, only this time, I would bring a decent camera, and i would stick around and talk to Dennis (lead singer).

I'd go back to 1986 when my mother was pregnant with my brother and punch her in the stomach.

Ditto for me... but add on 1991 at the end for my sister.

[Hyphnip]

I'm go back to September 10th 2001 and warn the world of what was about to happen and watch the American government still do nothing... or I'd go back and shit in Hitlers face for giving my people such bad reputations.

[Crusader]

I'd be the one to discover Samuel L. Jackson adn Chad Kroeger!

Return to stop the creation of the infernal machine in the first place. Which, depending on the true nature of time and the validity of causeality may result in a paradoxical closed loop wherein I destroy the machines, which means mine never existed, which means I never destroyed them, which means they existed, which means I went back and destroyed them, etc etc etc. Such a device is potentially the greatest weapon ever created, and could quite easily undo all that is reality. It cannot be allowed to exist unless the Nihilist in me is feeling particularly energetic that day.

 

If it does not fracture time as such, I will assume time is an infinite parallel system of timelines as opposed to a single branching trunk. And, my noble works completed, I would go about the business of spending my newfound money on simpler pleasures than attempting to reign in the incalculable forces of temporal progression.

 

Like blackjack, and hookers.

I might also just jump forward in time and watch Snakes on a PLane.

[Ruettiger]

I wouldn't use the time machine and spend the money on something worthwhile.

[Crusader]

Or would you spend the money and then use the time machine to steal the money back?

[Ruettiger]

Would you use it to take the snakes off the plane?

[Crusader]

No. Then there wouldn't be a movie.

[Ruettiger]

Exactly.

[Shakakahn]

I would go back to 1998 and stop myself from getting that mushroom cut, it was terrible

[Ruettiger]

I'd stop my mullet from happening.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i would go back to 1978 and get high with sid vicious

[Kumquat]

I'd go back to two weeks ago and not get this stupid haircut.

[Lauren]

i would go back and get my hair cut differently.

but srsly, i don't know what i would do. maybe lost my virginity sooner...

[no yu begin wher i end]

I'd sell the time machine to the highest bidder.

[Azalroth]

I'd purposely go back in time and not change a damned thing cause I don't have any regrets...

 

I would go back in time and fuck it all up creating a time paradox...just cause.

You have no idea how long I laughed after reading that.

[Crusader]

I've decided I'd go back in time and steal the Lotto number.

Glad to be of service ;)

[Shiri]

I will go back to 1985, make my mom fly to the US and give birth to me there, so I'll have an American passport. And then I'll grow up again and spend all my money on live shows.
