An unbreakable device that can transport me to any world or time I want It has the be light, small, and not suspicious-looking, and I need to be able to transport the device to me at any time. The things that happen during my visits would not actually affect reality, but instead it would kind of create an alternative universe.
So if I went back in time and killed some historical figure, then returned to this reality, they wouldn't have been killed by me. Or if I went to the fictional world of a book and killed some character, it would happen in a different reality that the one the book takes place in. (otherwise I would have a constant fear of fucking up the entire universe.)
And, of course, I would have to gain the ability to understand, speak, write and read the languages. Also I would have to be immune to diseases they spread and they would have to be immune to the diseases I spread.
Or maybe I have to be a little more humble and say that I want a robot that could clean my room and put all my items in the correct places.
You want a tardis?
