If You Had A Time Machine?

[saskiachan 10]

If you had a time machine, what would you do with it? where would you go? Feel free to air out your frustrations or fantasies or both whatever you feel so inclined to do~

Meh?

Frustrations:

- go back to last Monday and tell my teacher I wasnt comfortable with the presentation topic I had initially chosen...I dont know why I procastinated/hesitated in telling her... I guess I felt embarrassed and that she would think less of me. D:

- go forward in time to Friday because tomorrow I have a presentation and I know I am going to make a fool out of myself.><

Fantasies:

- go back to the age 5 when the biggest decision I had to make was whether I should play Super Mario Bros or Arkanoid ~.~

I would probably go back to April... "And I go back to April all the time... " :/

[Ren-kun 50]

Probably go back to my childhood too when life wasn't too complex. Siiiigh.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

If I had a time machine, I would want to relive my life, and experience another kind of life.

[Black Demon 466]

Kill my future self or my past self who shouldn't have existed in the first place...

[Sakila 88]

xDD It's funny, I actually had an assignment on this two days ago. Said I would go back in time and meet Tesla. (You must give the teachers what they want to hear)

[Lovestruck 70]

Kill my PAST self or my past self who shouldn't have existed in the first place...

Go to the future.

I'd rather go to future than go to the past because one small mistake in history could change our present.

I wrote a story about that once, and I won first place in the Elementary school division because of that story. It was about a girl who built a time machine, went to the past, and changed it into futuristic-y. And because of that very same change the world fell into chaos and humans ceased to exist. It's complicated.

i would go back in time and shout at the teachers who gave me annoying homeworks last year just to give me homework and as another punishment give them a quiz about detective conan with 10,000 questions and mark them all wrong even if a few are right

then i would go into the future and find out who it is i marry (that is if anyone marries me) and see what my future kids look like and find out their names and find out who they are in love with if i have any kids and they are in love with someone

Nobody else would go back and punch Hitler? There's many events in human history that were horrible and I wish could be changed, but it has the potential of unraveling everything, as Rye pointed out. And going to the future has the potential of being horribly depressing. Imagine if you go to the future and not just Europe is plunged back into the Dark Ages? It would be hard to keep going knowing humanity had that horrible fate. If you did try and change anything, you would have the potential of instead causing it to happen, like in a Greek Tragedy.

ETA: did anyone watch Doctor Who's "Dinosaurs in Space"? The whole time I was thinking, no Nefertiti you can't leave, once you do Akhenaten snaps and plunges Egypt into chaos noooo don't leave

*Pauses at the name 'Hitler'* Speak of the devil.... I remembered something. XD I will not only punch him. I will kill the guy. Oh, wait. He's already dead before my grandfather was even born

I think messing with your past is a wrong move. Just one mistake, or one edit can change everything. One edit can affect your current self. Your current life. But, messing with future is always fun. (:

Hmm....what I'm thinking is....what if your future self sees your present self--or actually, they don't even have to see you, they'll know, because they're you. How would that play out?~~

[Henry Gordan 20]

Well, I would go to past and kill my ancestor. Then I wouldn't never be born and couldn't kill my ancestor and I could born and kill him

It's really complicated

[Rye 122]

I don't want to go to the future. I would see everything that would happen and I would be forced to do something in order to prevent it or make it happen.

I dare not go back to the past or change any moment in history mainly because it would interrupt the flow of time itself. Everything happens for a reason. All causes have effects. Past happens in order to create a Present, the same way Present is used to create a Future. That's why we must learn to think before we act. We should do everything in the right way in order to ensure a bright future.

Time is something that we cannot and we should NOT meddle with. It would be very disastrous. Even a small slight change in the past can mean a BIG change in the future.

Well, looking at the future may be helpful but NOT ALWAYS. It may be positive or negative, depending on the person.

It might change what we do now, and by changing what we do in the present means changing what we are in the future.

Instead of regretting what we have done in the past, we should accept it and use it as a lesson for us not to commit the same mistake.

[Metantei Kiddo 147]

Go forward in future...

[Emerald 6]

I have a bad memory so I would probably forget about it and even if I did not forget I would just ignore myself and also avoid myself or else just pretend to not recognize myself if I see myself

PS:nice to meet you Anime Girl 4 Eva

[Jas 20]

I would go to the future... where pokemon exists..

xD, Nice to meet you too~

And time travel in general is super complicated. Butterfly-effect emphasis here.

[Ren-kun 50]

Oh I like this idea.

Gonna get myself an Eevee and live happily forever XD

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Oh I like this idea.

Gonna get myself an Eevee and live happily forever XD

And I'm going to get myself a mew... Or probably a victini. :V

[Xander 1]

i will go back to my past and will get the things i have missed. specially in college days.

[nis-aihara 15]

I'll go to the past to find the truth behind the rumors about the ghost stories in my school, to retrieve all the things I've missed, and to change my family bonds.

Go to the future, steal a gadget, show it off to your friends

Anime-related :

• I'll go back 1924 and get in Saubure Academy ^^
  
• Go back when Shinichi got shrunk and let Conan stay with me XD
  

[snowflake 41]

Wait. The question is what I would do if I had a time machine. Honestly I think I'd be so confused I'll end up destroying it.

[Arima 58]

If I had a time machine ... I'd go back in time to hug my mother on the day she died ...and wanted to go in 1890 to ask for autograph from Arthur Conan.xP
