you can be transported back to any point in history, you are how you are now, and you cant bring anything with you.
When do you go?

When do you go?
20 years ago, get a job, save up and buy bitcoin.
alright obviously getting in on bitcoin etc would be cool but let's make up a rule that you cant just run go back like twenty years and take advantage of financial knowledge
I go back exactly, not "like", 20 years ago and invest in Google and then crypto
ok, let it be 30 years then.
or learn what a rule actually means.
Well going even a few hundred years back I'll run into language issues even with English. So not very far. I'd probably go and try to meet up with some enlightenment thinkers to tell them about the future and how things end up.
okay also language is not an issue
Ok then besides the obvious answer of Jesus' crucifixion to see wtf happened that week, I'd go to Athens to talk with Aristotle. If that genius was informed about the future and modern philosophy/science, I couldn't imagine where we'd be at now.
The 1600s, seeing colonization going on would be exciting.
I would stop it.
I'll go to 70s San Francisco, beat the shit out of Steve Jobs, tell George Lucas to keep going and make it clear that Star Wars is the first work of many auteur works, tell the gay guys to wear condoms until this French guy named Foucault comes around, tell the Black Panthers to not sell out, murder Reagan, and spend the rest of the trip slamming that Cali coed pussy.
I’d go back 2 weeks ago so I can finish my assignments quicker
Go to the 1600s and invest in some colonial ventures
Use my money to try to start the Industrial Revolution early
Where?
Probably England
No, bad idea. That's a really good way to get murdered by Puritans because you smiled too much. The real money was in the Spanish departments of the indies.
But the East India Company was recently founded
Plus Britain is where all the coal is
Germany, 1938
I travel back in time to 1997 and bring all the money I can
>Open brokerage account and put all my money into Amazon when they do their IPO
>Get filthy rich
>Repeat with other company names I recognize as blowing up
1950's where I am. Ahhh, paradise
1600 Japan
Personally bludgeon William Adams to death with a piece of driftwood and marry the local Christian fisherman's daughter and tell the Jesuits to poison Tokugawa. Send word to Phillip to stop fricking around and go scorched earth on the Sephardis in Antwerp. No more VOC. Watch Nippon slowly be incorporated into the Portuguese Empire. Now maybe it would make sense why there are so many Japanese in Brazil. Like God trying to tell us this is how things should have been
35th century
Either aging has been cured and everyone lives in luxury or I get clapped by radiation and engineered superviruses.
I kill Churchill before he becomes prime minister
1600s England
If I have to live there forever the 2000s.
If it's just a visit for the week the Rome under any of the 5 good emperors , I don't mind living in 3rd world conditions for a short if I get to see cool stuff.
You will kill everyone with your modern day viruses and bacteria.
