    To the middle of the carboniferous to check if it is true the hypothesis of the delayed fungal evolution. Forests growing for millions of years and wood not decaying? The mountains of dead trees is something I want to see.

    I would go back about 40 years ago and stop my parents from meeting.

        That’s how bad things are. I wouldn’t even go see my beloved Aztecs.

          If you can, pick up one afternoon in the week, call someone you know, go outside, in the park or in a pub. It helps to disconnect 🙂

            I’m already outside way more than normal. The problem is I’m completely disconnected. I’m an American without employment, I’m skirting my own destruction every day. Don’t have money for the pub and I gave up drinking last year due to doctors’ orders. If I had a choice between doing my life over again or never having existed I’ll take the latter.

              @Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world (hope I did that right to tag someone else)

              Wanted to tag house in on this comment

              But to neon: Instead of not having your life, go back in time with the winning lottery numbers, play the lottery number in a state where you don’t have to publicly say who you are, then move and re-create your life with funds to be able to do whatever you want.

    This timeline is already fucked so I really can’t make it any worse, so I’d go back just to fuck with the timeline.
    Take written volumes on mathmatics, science, and engineering and hand them out in Greece and Arabia a few thousand years ago and see what kind of world we end up with instead.

      Monkey’s Paw answer is the same world we have today because the books are in English and/or the math symbols were not standardized back then.

    To the point when humanity’s earliest ancestor dared leave the ocean. I’d kick it back into the sea. Civilization was a mistake.

    I’d like to be an observer at historic events, to see how different the actual events were from what has been described.

          Ah okay, thanks for clearing it up! I had no idea that double-original-op was actually a thing, and made me question myself about the meaning of the acronym.
