Hey Pandas, If You Could Time Travel, When And Where Would You Go? And Why? (Closed)
We all have dreamed about traveling in time. Sometimes we want to go back at a time in our lives to right a wrong, sometimes we want to witness a historic event first hand. Sometimes we even want to go to the future! If you had the chance to do this, what would you do?

I am surprised that no one has mentioned to see Jesus Christ, Leonardo da Vinci, Socrates, Nikola Tesla. I would like to see all the wonders that Marco Polo couldn't mention on his memories. I would like to see all the wonders of the world before it was severily transformed.

Probably Stonewall? mostly because it would be so incredible to actually be at such a momentous event. and just to be around people who had the courage to be themselves and speak for their rights back then, esp. Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.

I would travel to a few weeks ago to see myself, just to see how I would react. I know for a fact I would freak out if if I saw an evil clone, so I would pretend to be my own evil clone. And then tell them the oven was on. And the leave.

I would visit my past selves, my parents, my grandparents, my children and grandchildren when they go through rough times. I would give them a hand, a hug, a tissue, a pat on the shoulder, a kick in the booty. I would I flash a smile, tell a joke, play a game, have a conversation with. I would tell them "I love you. You can do better".

I'd go back about 15 - 20 million years to the Miocene epoch. Some of the mammals from that time were so strange, more interesting than dinosaurs in many ways.

I would either travel to live the last day of Earth because I hate my present and don't care to about the past.But if we had to go back I'd want to go back to the time places and continents were still being explored.I'd know all locations,so I'd sail and discover Different places Of Africa,and build something there and just fish for a few minutes.I'd want to run like crazy in field and see the sky and appreciate the view not hidden by giant skyscrappers.I'd basically live.I would definitely want to live.

What a strange question for me because I had a time machine :) Now, if my time machine had worked perfectly and I could tell it exactly where to go with precision then I would want to travel to last week and give myself this week's lottery numbers, right? But my time machine was not that precise, it dumped me off in time periods that didn't make sense and it changed reality all around me for periods of time that made no sense. And when I went to the future I saw things that were creeeepy and scary. The future was really weird. Things were old, really old, even light looked old, just hard to explain. I saw what I call "split dimensions" which is basically like having one foot in one world and another foot in another world. That's why I said it didn't make much sense. And long story short I don't know if it's completely possible to time travel without getting lost inside split and different dimensions but I can always try again to make another time machine that works better than the last ones I made.

You'd probably find yourself stuck in the rise of National Socialists (NAZIs) and having to be culpable or dead.

Before humans. I would know how we caused pollution and how we abuse animals, how we treat basically everything badly. Then I would teach the humans(who would be monkeys) the ways of other animals. We wouldn’t start war, wouldn’t evolve, and the world would be at peace!

I think for me it would be the 1920s/interwar years. Just enough creature comforts to not live in misery, while experiencing the golden age of jazz, gangsters and boozy parties. Plus, if I wound up where I live today, I could make a fortune running liquor into prohibition era America from north of the border!
Beyond that, it'd probably be back to the late 90s/early 2000s, just so that I could do certain things from my youth all over again, and do other things completely differently.

I found everything really interesting and i would really like to be in different times in the past.... however i wouldn't do that as a woman! Women's rights get worse and worse as you go further back so i would be too scared to go to the past! As a woman i would like to travel to the future to see how much progress we did let's say 100 years from now! If we are still around and haven't destroyed the planet completely!
