dabookerman Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 If we can just go back in time and fix our mistakes, we'll never stop making them because of that safety net a time machine presents. I'd like to go into the future and see myself, see where I'm headed... and change myself if I didn't like what I saw. There are certain things that shouldn't be meddled in. What if you accidentally prevented your parents' first meeting, endangering your existence and going through a three-movie ordeal to put everything right again? Imagine kissing your mum... To be honest, i would rather see a photo of what my life will be like in 10 years time.
mike-zim Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 i would love to go back in time pick some obscure item burry it in a safe place so that i could come back to this time dig it up and make millions
DiemetriX Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I would go back to the time my mum and dad was having sex to make me, and slap my dad on the ass and say "Im your son from the future!". And then run out.

Shorty Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I'd probably find a way to get a lot of money (aforementioned sports results/lottery numbers), and then since I'd feel guilty for cheating, I'd warn the US about 9/11 and save thousands of lives to make up for it.
Dan_Dare Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hehe. I would definitely do what Fields did. Get lottery numbers, football numbers, etc. Although, for ViPeR's sake, i would have to go back in time and slap anyone who had anything to do with Terminator 3. Possibly, the Alien Resurrection crew, as well. I'm thinking we might be able to convince Cameron to not make Titanic while we're on the job, and help him convince the studio to make the Alien 3 he originally came up with where the Aliens make it to Earth.

They knew about 9/11 long before it happend. Some how I don't think your warning would have made a difference. Nice tought though

I'm one of the minority that actually like David Fincher's Alien 3.

I could've told them the plane, the time, the attackers, the destination - all 6 months in advance. They have to take that kind of thing seriously....
Hellfire Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I wouldn't go forward in time, that would suck. I would go to the past, buy some property for cheap that would now be worth millions, get rare games and whatnot, see important history periods,... I would be gaziliionare by now.
Dan_Dare Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I'm one of the minority that actually like David Fincher's Alien 3. but imagine if he'd made the film he wanted....sigh. it would have been fucking awesome...
Charlie Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Are you kiddin? I could've told them the plane, the time, the attackers, the destination - all 6 months in advance. They have to take that kind of thing seriously.... They would probably think you're a terrorist for knowing all that stuff though. I would go back to the year Franz Ferdinand was killed, save his ass, therefore saving millions of people's asses because the First World War would never have taken place. I would also go to see Queen live somewhere before Freddie died.
Monopolyman Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I go back to just before lunch and get something other than chips. They were the rawest, most disgusting thing you could have. All smokey and just tasted like the complete antithesis of chips. I'm going to have that taste in my mouth for weeks, now.
Solo Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I'm one of the minority that actually like David Fincher's Alien 3. (I'm with you on that one, fantastic film, best ending of all the films imo .) I would probably go forward 200 years or so and see how films and music have prgressed.
Bo130 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Are you kiddin? I could've told them the plane, the time, the attackers, the destination - all 6 months in advance. They have to take that kind of thing seriously.... Ya, like Moria said before me, assuming you were the only one with a time machine, and the only one who knew such a thing existed, and you told them all that stuff... You'd be the prime suspect in no time :P. I don't know if I'd use it at all. I kinda like the feeling of not knowing what's waiting for you in the future. Would be cool to start a paradox, though :P
The3rdChildren Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 You are all aware that, in theory, travelling back in time and altering a world changing event like 9/11 would probably result in you returning to a drastically different present time, right? It'd be pretty weird and probably quite unsettling. This is why none of us should EVER get hold of a time machine.

They went back to the time of the dinosaurs, and messed around with some stuff. Stopped them getting wiped out, i think. When they went back to the future, dinosaurs were still ruling the world, and they had messed up their own lives. So...yes. Cartoons can teach you anything. Even the bad effects of messing around with a time machine.
The3rdChildren Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Have you ever seen the Back to the Future cartoon? I found a video of the cartoon's intro.
Charlie Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 There was a Simpsons episode about time machines too I think, Ned Flanders was the ruler of the universe....
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I found a video of the cartoon's intro. Wow. It's just as i remembered it.
DCK Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I would burn a DVD full of Wii/DS and other Nintendo media, go back 5 years in time and then be the Messiah on every Nintendo board in the world. Or I would go back to the time of cavemen, and with my superior knowledge become the ruler of the world. That would be nice.
Ashley Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I would take all my money out, go to when my bank first opened and deposit it. Go forward like thousands of years and get it out. Lather, rinse, repeat.
