Visit the library of Alexandria before it burned, just to see the insane amount of books.
As someone else commented, see how stonehenge was built/used.
Find out how the Antikythera mechanism worked and how it was used.
Witness the construction of the pyramids.
Experience the telling of the norse mythology.
I would go back to when this post had no comments and be the first so I can explain to everyone else what no consequence means. That way when I come back to the present I can still be disappointed by half of the answers in this thread.
Except no one would be able to read your comment before posting because, again, no consequence. So that's pointless.
The second sentence of my comment illustrates that lol. It's was supposed to be tongue in cheek.
I read your second part as "people can't read, so 50% are still wrong, even if you explained it perfectly".
Right? Even with my edits to clarify people just want to buy bitcoins lol.
The only comment about bitcoins I've seen so far is scamming someone out of their wallet, which could actually work. If you got their account information, that's just data that is a memory. With the number of bitcoin wallets people have lost the login information for, it's actually a workable idea for this scenario.
There's a couple. maybe not just bitcoins but the idea of trying to get rich. That and many people who wish they werent born... Makes me kinda sad to be honest.
Go back in time and stop diddy from diddling so bad.
Probably see the dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous. Just before the KT extinction. I want to know how accurate we are about what dinosaurs looked like. All we know are from the bones and some fossilized skin and feathers here and there. I bet there are a TON of animals we don't even know about because they were never fossilized. What did the T-Rex use their little arms for? Were dinosaurs covered with waddles, weird skin flaps, some hairy stuff, and what color were they? For comparison, if we drew modern animals like we draw dinosaurs from just their skeletons:
I'd love to get the chance to talk to Isaac Asimov and talk to him about the future and how he decided to start releasing his stories. Probably around 1972 because I liked bicentennial man a lot.
Other than that:
Assuming no consequences means I won't die, or catch a disease or something, I'd go back like a hundred million years or so to look at dinosaurs.
Camera in hand, time to visit Chavín lands! They're one of the earliest recognizable societies of the Peruvian Andes. Given that a language barrier would be true for pretty much any "too far back" visits, might as well go with one that I'm really damn curious about!
I would go back to ancient Rome, Athens, or somewhere similar and just do turism.
It would be incredibly cool to just look around and feel it how the world has back then. Video games like Assassins creed Odyssey scratch that itch but it would obviously be cooler in real life.
I'd like to go back many times to earlier in my life and try different dialogue options.
Like that time you thought of the perfect comeback two days later?
Or just learn how people act and react. If I say this, they react that way. Now if I say that how do they react?
I'd go back to fuck at a Roman bath house in ancient times. Fuck it, no regrets.
edit: FUUUUUCK NO CONSEQUENCES HOW DARE YOU
I'd go back to the Yukon Gold Rush and make sure Fred Trump never made it out of Canada.
Edit: Doh! No consequences... huh. I'm not really sure it would be worth the trip then.
Remember, there are no consequences. Whatever you do will be reset, so this wouldn't work
Find out a burning question that paleontologists have but can't find an answer to and tell them where to look.
Go back to 1986 and slip a morning after pill in my mom's drink... Oh wait, no consequences? Fuck me...
So many people want to not be born... Hope you guys are just jocking.
"I'm garbage and should die LOL" is like 80% of millennial humor. They are a painfully unfunny generation.
Haha yeah, I'm joking, haha, the PTSD and depression are my favorite hobbies, this world is such a happy place and totally is not going to shit, I love it so much haha 🥲
I know that everything seems to sucks these days, but some things are worth it in the end. Good luck, take care.
Yeah, I have 3 kittens <3
Thanks! I'll probably survive
Ideas like this is how you end up becoming your own father.
Oh, not back to yesterday? Back to any time/place for a day?
I think it would be too hard to access any of these events or people - you'd go back then just end up in jail or something. I would like to see the moon though, so if it's a literal anything is possible situation I'll hitch along with those guys, on the first moon landing.
