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?

    If I can transport things back and forth, I would probably go and max out a credit card and buy all of the gold that I can to bring with me for trade.

    Then I would go to the library of Alexandria and use my cell phone to get photocopies of as many books as I possibly can, and in the downtime I would go to any open Street markets and purchase any cool relics that I can find.

    Then I could come back and share some of the Lost books of Alexandria with the world and also have period correct relics that have somehow magically not been exposed to a thousand years of environmental corrosion.

    Then again, that would probably also mess up their radioisotope dating but I don’t know if it’s specific enough to only cover a thousand ish years.

    Maybe if I have a little more time to prep I can find some place that I know hasn’t been Disturbed and like put them in an airtight safe and store them for me to go back and ReDiscover now.
