    Can I go forward in time, and then back? In that case, I’d get some future numbers for the Euro Jackpot and play that line.

    Find Nigel Farage in the field after he survived his 2014 plane crash and… change that.

    Possibly saving the country from Brexit even getting to referendum status, and if it did, possibly changing the result. And then maybe preventing the revolving door Tory governments that fucked up the initial Covid response, since most of what they’ve done over the last decade has been to try and swing voters away from UKIP/Reform rather then actually do things that are good fit the country as a whole.

      I think a lot of concerts would be amazing with acid.

      I’m not very familiar with PF, or familiar at all with their personal history. I’m actually assuming Syd is a member. I don’t even know that. I’ve only listened to 2 of their albums (and while tripping)

      But if this is a particular legendary one, it’d definitely be worth it.

    Find the last winning lottery numbers that somebody did not pick, very large lottery like billion dollar in size. Go back in time go tothe appropriate states so I don’t have to reveal my identity and win.

    I won’t tell anybody that I want. I just tell my friends and family. Hey, I made money on the stock market here some extra cash for you.

    Then I jump into the future and find the cures for Alzheimer’s dementia, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, liver failure, how to give a person 20/20 vision with just a pill or something, same way to fix hearing. Jump a couple hundred years beyond that to make sure there wasn’t some sort of long-term effect.

    Then I bring those cures back here along with exactly how to make them. I patent them and license them. The charge I would license the cure is out to other companies so they can make them. The cost for them to make the cure what I would charge them. Would be basically my cost. I would just charge my attorney fees and any other taxes I might get charged. And then I would charge five dollars a year. I don’t mean five dollars a year per vile, I mean five dollars a year. Just let the companies make it and distribute it. If some company got greedy and decided to charge a super high amount, I’d build my own company to distribute it.

    Maybe go far enough to find a solution for the micro plastics that we created. And bring that back and fix the environment.

    After I did all that, now it’s time to have some fun.

    Getting enough money so I could buy the entire Stargate franchise from Amazon. Hire on the original co-creators and the original writers and make a of new episodes. And tell them 25 episodes per season five seasons guaranteed. If no broadcaster wants to broadcast if no streaming service wants to pick it up, I’ll just go straight to DVD/Blu-ray/4K. Yeah, I know there’s a bunch of people that don’t want that many episodes per season, I don’t care I’d make that many episodes per .😁

    Well, I can think of a couple US presidents from the 20th century that could use a good showcase of the future they caused by throwing Americans under the bus. Either that, or just clone their voices, fake messages that incriminate their actions and get them impeached, release them publicly via distribution to all major TV news outlets discretely, and watch what happens. If nothing else, just getting rid of them completely might be a solution as well, in hopes their vice president doesn’t make the same mistakes.

    That, or go back to summer 2024 and tell the guy at that rally to aim a little to the left (or right) depending on which ear he shot.

    I would go back to September 1st 2001 and make sure a certain new yorker was in a certain building on a very specific date.

    Interesting question i have about how a time machine would work…

    Does the machine take you back in time but leave you in the same SPACE? Or does it compensate for movement of objects in space? Because say you travel 2 months backwards into the past…you might exit the machine in the middle of the vacuum of space, given that the Earth is not in the same location. I feel like any future time machines would need to factor in a lot of astrophysics to solve this one…

    I’d go 50 and 100 years into the future and see when and how time travel has been abused and then based on that I’d decide if I should go back and destroy all of the creator’s hard work before somebody else got a hold of it.

    I’d also probably go back and see my grandma for a while before the dementia got bad. Bring the family to meet her.
