Hint: You can prevent https://lifeline4gaza.com/ <- this from happening, or solve the unsolveable historical mysteries that haunt us all.
Premise: the continuum is bullshit and can do whatever idk, viewing only or with alterations, depending on what makes sense to you. It’s not a contest to do the most (well okay it is but that could limit our inquiry), just whatever occurs to you first.

Late 1999, I’d smash all the voting machines in Florida.
Brooks Brothers Rioters. Cut all their valve stems. Also, maybe do something about the SC, because they just handed the election to Bush anyway.
Alternatively I’d somehow stop the Taft-Hartley act from passing. It prevented trade unions from making political donations until Citizens United vs FEC.
I would go back to 1990 and tell my parents to take young me to a psychiatrist to have me checked for ADHD.
Dec 15th, 1791 along with an AR-15 and four high capacity magazines just to explain something to a few people.
Why not bring a metal storm gun and 8 million rounds of ammunition?
I would just want them to understand that a single shot musket that takes thirty seconds to load each round wouldn’t always be the norm.
“I just wanna talk to him.”
I’d go back about 12,800 years and see the world before the Younger Dryas.
I would do something similar if I was allowed to bring a lifetime supply of antibiotics.
2009 January 8, going to my own apartment and bringing a modern server and USB stick to myself.
The next day I’d put some files on the USB stick and give it to my younger self and give him instructions to only sell 5% per year and don’t invest in any other coins.Also younger self, you don’t have just a little social ineptitude, you have full-blown autism.
Also younger self, invest in Novo Nordisk and get some Ozempic the moment you have the chance.
Also younger self, congratulations on being mostly right about what the future of world politics and technology would hold, including the US becoming fascist, but here’s an updated version of it.Take a slide rule to ancient Babylon because on some level I’m morally offended we didn’t figure that one out until the 17th century. Ideally this also snipes a variety of terrible numeral systems.
About 300 million years ago.
That’s the earliest time that you could still breathe comfortably.
I have sinus problems so I’ve never been able to breathe comfortably
April 1, 1946. Push a very pregnant Mary Anne Trump down a very steep set of stairs.
There’s a lot of interesting Branch points you can think of. I’ve always been interested in what would have happened if Bobby Kennedy hadn’t been assassinated. That seems like a really big one.
Of course maybe the most important one I can think of is going back in time and beating Jubal Early to death before he can start all that lost cause bullshit.
Love seeing people bring up this + Bush’s election fraud & Gore’s lackadaisacal lib response, we’ll come back to it for sure
I’d go back to 1921 and save the original communist party heads of my country. Maybe we would have a better chance that way.
I can be very specific: Jamaica Hospital June 14th 1946
I’m going back to 1985 and telling Doc to have a nice life.
Call me selfish, but I’d go back two weeks and salt the walkway for sick Cracks and company.
Was a very Life is Strange-esque, ‘this action will have consequences’ branching path event.
kill lenin. i mean, not a bad idea.
Absolutely terrible idea, why would you want Tsarism to persist?! If anything, saving Lenin and Sverdlov would have probably helped the early soviets.
