Let's say you had a one-way ticket to the past

Where would you go?
Which time period would you choose?

Good question. To be honest I don't know.
I want a time when life was simpler and farming or trades with modest, loyal wives was a thing. But there are many caveats for every point in history.
I'll have to think on this.

The 50s probably, Life would be good until the 80s

Go back in time and assassinate WEB DuBois before he started writing and becoming a political activist.

DuBois was the driving force behind the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance and was a major opponent to people like Marcus Garvey who were advocating Black ethnocentrism and a mass exodus back to Africa. They were also behind a lot of the early socialist movements in the US.

You could solve a lot of problems just by lynching DuBois and his ilk.

I wouldnt give up this time. Not only do we have access to limitless information. We live in a time where Donald Trump is president.

We have a lot of problems, but this shit is pretty interesting

Stupid Question

OP is a data mining FAGGOT

I'd go follow Diogenes around.

Probably either to the Roman Empire and help keep it going by bringing back advances in technology and bureaucratic/administrative theory.

Otherwise, during the Renaissance to help build up the west in the same way before they got too crazy with "muh freedom and individualism" during the Enlightenment.

>OP is a data mining FAGGOT
>If you could travel back in time where would you go?
That's a really odd piece of info to mine.

Only one right answer, user.

> Learn German
> Tell Hitler:
> graphite is an effective neutron moderator
> push at Dunkirk to save lives in the long run
> mass produce the Stg-44 assault rifle early in the war

>Kill your grandparents/change history so they never meet
>Universe explode out of confusion

i'd go back to the 60s and play led zeppelin songs before they were written so i could be considered the greatest guitar player of all time

Why not just prevent the Lincoln assassination so he ships back the groids.

But then we would literally have no internet, cars, music etc..

1930's

Mid 1800s Germany. Would probably be a farmer.

If I can take luggage with me, load my laptop, spare laptops, and external drives with scans of the Encyclopedia Britannica, multiple editions, shitloads of ebooks, machinist's drawings of most of the successful firearms designs of the last 150 years, world histories, medical texts, chemical info on pharmaceutical manufacture, and everything I have on space and rocket design, which is a lot. I'd take back actual firearms and trunks full of books.

I'll go back to 1910, sell Browning's 1917 machine gun design to him for a percentage, shoot Woodrow Wilson before he is President, etc.

You can't kill your grandparents, otherwise it would have already happened and you wouldn't exist, thus something has to prevent it.

I bet you don't even 4th dimension.

Early 20th century - California

The fuck are you talking about?

WE WUZ SCIENTISTS

This.

Though also encourage a larger sub fleet, that could've cinched it.

Hindsight being what it is, we'd be better off had Germany won back then.

Born just after the Civil war, have a good job and large, beautiful white family. Also I'd get to die before everything went to absolute shit(1960s)

So an iPad and a solar charger is what you're saying.

No guarantee Lincoln ever would have gone through with it and too much risk in meddling with the actual Civil War.

Prior to DuBois coming along and kicking off the Harlem Renaissance, most big names in Black society were people like Booker T Washington (who was pushing Black self-improvement) and Marcus Garvey (who was advocating Black ethnocentrism and exodus). If it weren't for DuBois, his socialist buddies, and their Jewish sponsors, you probably would have seen far more support for Return To Africa programs.

Hmmm. Well without taking any physical stuff back with me, I'd have to target a time that was peaceful enough to ensure survival but also primitive enough for my rudimentary understanding of physics, math, science to take over the whole world. Like, imagine inventing gunpowder and cannons, selling cannons to become The Jew, then use Newtonian physics to pick off your customers/enemies while they shoot like isis.

Then 50 years later, the merchant befriends me.
'oy. You have all the shekels. You could charge interest and i could handle the paperwork. Everyone would be happy.'

'Oven.'

History status: changed.

I'd go back to 1980 and just have fun for a decade. Would do it too if I could. Tired of this shit.

WWII and tell Hitler to ally with Russia. Alternatively WWI and get America to side with Germany instead of Britain or something. I'm sure explaining the cultural demise that the Jews have put us through would be enough to convince 1920s world leaders.

Bad news. There is no way Germany, which is the size of fucking Illinois, and has access to three percent of the world's oil supply, wins WWII. None. Zero.

Plus this is not long enough after WWI for the post-1933 baby boom kids to be of militarily useful age.

Again, Germany loses 9 times out of 10, any way you slice it.

Go back and buy bitcoin.

Battle (((them))) as a billionaire peer.

Also commission a batmobile.

Nah, I need too many terabytes of data for a lousy iPad to handle it. Plus I hate Appleshit and touch screen keyboards.

Shit, go back to 1979 and loan Jobs and Wozniak a thousand bucks in exchange for half the company. Do something similar for Bill Gates. Go back to the bottom of the Great Depression and pick up a bunch of IBM shares when people were dumping those, then sell them in the mid 1980s. Get a piece of Amazon's IPO and you're officially set for life.

It's like when Guns n' Roses was huge, and Duff Mckagan, the bass player from Seattle, put a few bucks into a couple small local companies that were looking for investors. Yeah. Microsoft and Starbucks. As many records as Guns sold in the late Eighties and early 1990s, he's made way more money off that.
