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.

Find out a burning question that paleontologists have but can’t find an answer to and tell them where to look.

I would [REDACTED] so that no one has to deal with this shit.

Is it possible to travel to the past without changing the timeline? Even going to a diner for a meal will make a ripple.

Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.

The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I’d have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.

Killjoy: If there are no consequences there can be no memory of the event either. Our own future (from the time of returning from the past) would almost certainly diverge from the path of no knowledge otherwise, and that would be a consequence.

As such, every one of us might already have this ability, we just don’t remember doing it.

Since I’m in tremendous pain from an inner ear infection; I would CLOSE THAT DAMN WINDOW!

Go back to see how they built Stonehenge

If there were no consequences, I can think of a few different things I’d wanna see.

1. Just out of morbid curiosity, what an atomic bomb dropping looks like when it explodes, being there in person rather than just seeing footage (from a safe distance with protective equipment, just in case I can still get hurt, otherwise get as close as possible if there are absolutely zero consequences to my actions, as if I’m a spectator in minecr*ft).
2. Probably just go back in time and watch as many cartoons as I could back in the early netflix streaming era because I absolutely love cartoons.
3. Definitely go back in time and watch either An American Tail or Fivel Goes West in theaters because I really like both movies.

(Assuming that “no consequence” also means that I won’t die on the trip…)

• Witness the Tunguska impact.

• See a Beatles show when they were just some small time dudes playing in a crummy club.

• Visit the Great Exhibition of 1851 and go inside the Crystal Palace

I would prefer to go back in time literally 24 hours and HAVE consequences.

I would not eat the food that likely gave me food poisoning.

Kick my dad in the nuts on my conception night

Go back to when I sold all 100+ Bitcoin for like $5 each and tell myself “no”.

• Going back to slavery and beat some slave masters
• Meet my mom when she was younger, maybe in high school. Tell her that she seems like a lovely young lady and very smart. I don’t think she heard that enough.
• Go back to the first day I got my first cat.
• I would like to see a royal party of some kind.
• Go to a Shakespeare play while he was still alive. *Go back to where my grandma alleges she met Bill Cosby to confirm if it’s true, and, if so, punch him because apperently he was rude as hell.

I’d go back to “old enough to understand but still young enough to do something about it” me and have a nice long conversation 🙂
