Ask Lemmy

• Go to Teotihuacan to see how non/hierarchical it was, maybe trip balls if the opportunity presents itself.

• Go to Harappa or Mahenjo Daro and see how indus seals were used.

• Kindly ask the Minoans if that topless lady holding the snakes is in charge.

See Jimi Hendrix live.

If there were no consequences, I can think of a few different things I'd wanna see.

1. Just out of morbid curiosity, what an atomic bomb dropping looks like when it explodes, being there in person rather than just seeing footage (from a safe distance with protective equipment, just in case I can still get hurt, otherwise get as close as possible if there are absolutely zero consequences to my actions, as if I'm a spectator in minecr*ft).
2. Probably just go back in time and watch as many cartoons as I could back in the early netflix streaming era because I absolutely love cartoons.
3. Definitely go back in time and watch either An American Tail or Fivel Goes West in theaters because I really like both movies.

I can't really answer without possibly breaking some rule... But my destination time would be exactly nine months before my own birth date...

Find out a burning question that paleontologists have but can't find an answer to and tell them where to look.

I think it'd be neat to go to like 10,000 BC and just live a day in the life of some tribe/ancient city.

I could finally ride every ride at Disneyland.

Kick my dad in the nuts on my conception night

Oh, not back to yesterday? Back to any time/place for a day?

I think it would be too hard to access any of these events or people - you'd go back then just end up in jail or something. I would like to see the moon though, so if it's a literal anything is possible situation I'll hitch along with those guys, on the first moon landing.

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.

Berlin Wall sightseeing.

All good answers, but the simple fact you were not self centered but curious and asked what OP would do back, made your answer great. Thank you. Up vote freely given.

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 🙂

Since I'm in tremendous pain from an inner ear infection; I would CLOSE THAT DAMN WINDOW!

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.
