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.

    Put a large bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League.

    The odds were 5000-1, and the last person standing cashed out their £50 stake at £75000. I’d have put £500 on for an initial £2.5m, maybe an accumulator on the top 4 to double it, and live a comfortable life off of the winnings.

    I’d like to go back many times to earlier in my life and try different dialogue options.

    Like that time you thought of the perfect comeback two days later?

    Or just learn how people act and react. If I say this, they react that way. Now if I say that how do they react?

    I’d go back to “old enough to understand but still young enough to do something about it” me and have a nice long conversation 🙂

    Initially I read that as “you can go back in time for 24 hours” and thought why would 24 hours ago be that interesting? :)

    So my initial answer is: Not eating the late night burger I had last night.

    My final answer is: San Francisco in the 60s/70s to hang out with the Dead and all the other amazing artists of that time. Maybe see a show at the Fillmore.

      I read it like that at first as well and actually have a use-case for it. I have a certification exam next week and that 24 hour rewind would be very helpful if I do terrible on the exam. lol

    Visit the library of Alexandria before it burned, just to see the insane amount of books.

    As someone else commented, see how stonehenge was built/used.

    Find out how the Antikythera mechanism worked and how it was used.

    Witness the construction of the pyramids.

    Experience the telling of the norse mythology.

    I would prefer to go back in time literally 24 hours and HAVE consequences.

    I would not eat the food that likely gave me food poisoning.

    • Going back to slavery and beat some slave masters
    • Meet my mom when she was younger, maybe in high school. Tell her that she seems like a lovely young lady and very smart. I don’t think she heard that enough.
    • Go back to the first day I got my first cat.
    • I would like to see a royal party of some kind.
    • Go to a Shakespeare play while he was still alive. *Go back to where my grandma alleges she met Bill Cosby to confirm if it’s true, and, if so, punch him because apperently he was rude as hell.

    I would go back to when this post had no comments and be the first so I can explain to everyone else what no consequence means. That way when I come back to the present I can still be disappointed by half of the answers in this thread.

        The only comment about bitcoins I’ve seen so far is scamming someone out of their wallet, which could actually work. If you got their account information, that’s just data that is a memory. With the number of bitcoin wallets people have lost the login information for, it’s actually a workable idea for this scenario.

    (Assuming that “no consequence” also means that I won’t die on the trip…)

    • Witness the Tunguska impact.

    • See a Beatles show when they were just some small time dudes playing in a crummy club.

    • Visit the Great Exhibition of 1851 and go inside the Crystal Palace

    Attend the 1934 Nuremberg rally.

    Not keen on the politics of it obviously but you can’t deny the nazis knew how to put on one hell of a spectacle.
