If you could go back in time for 24h, no consequence on the timeline, what would you do? (sh.itjust.works)

I'll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington's Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

EDIT: I'll clarify: You can't affect the timeline. It means you cant go back to try to get rich with stocks, lottery, etc. It's like going to see a movie, when you come back the world will be exactly the same. You can interact with people, but in the end, the day you spend in the past will not have existed for anyone but you, in your memories.

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.

I know that everything seems to sucks these days, but some things are worth it in the end. Good luck, take care.

Ideas like this is how you end up becoming your own father.
