Time Travel question.

[Neuromancer]

If you had a portable time travel device and you had two trips. One to go back in time and one to come back to the present. Where would you go and what would you do?

For the sake of argument you'll be transported to exact date and location you input. So don't worry about the Earth being somewhere else at the time.

Go back to 1990 and bet everything on Buster Douglas to knockout Mike Tyson in the 10th round


Follow that with Cincinnati winning the world series


In enough time I can Garner attention and make my way onto ESPN as an expert analyst cause my picks are always right

Parlay that into a front office position with the pistons in 03, make sure we draft Carmelo

Retire a legend. Don't even bring me back to the present, let me live from 1990 on out

I'm not sure of the mechanics of time travel, but I'd go back in time and get 2008 version of me to mine/buy bitcoin.

Only logical answer

Damn I was gonna say I'd go back in time and stop Malcolm X from being killed.

That's a good one, and not nearly as selfish as my own. (If was sitting on 60/600 Billion aka Bezos/Gates/Buffett money in 2025, I'm opening factories. Little old me would be well sorted on a 2M house and a couple of cars and watches. The rest of it, I'm thinking about refining steel, machine tools, tools to build machine tools...just overall industrialization - starting in the US but spreading through the diaspora. )

I think you had an alternate timeline post where Malcolm better connects with Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana - and I just don't see that turning into the Wakanda that I personally envision.

As an aside, I wonder what happens to the NOI/Black People at large if Farrakhan could accept the 1 billion from Qaddafi

Farrakhan Denied $1 Billion From Libya

The federal government denied Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan permission Wednesday to accept a promised $1-billion gift from Libya to help African Americans economically and politically.

I didn't imagine it would be Wakanda but I wonder what kind of movement it would have made.

This would have been an interesting future as well but I imagine the US would try to jail Farrakhan as an enemy of the state.

If he was creative enough and had first rate law firms they could have figured something out.

As it stands in 2025, Middle Eastern countries have all types of money in the US for Middle Eastern studies.

I often pass a UAE funded apartment complex here in DC.

In my experience those organizations have zero vision and imagination, much like the people in the "conscious" community. But I don't want to derail your post with my blatherings

I'd go back to the minute my mom and dad were having sex and tell my dad to pull out so I wouldn't be born.

I'd travel back and cop that "The Mask" halloween fit before @Kaypain did; I'd tell him halloween is canceled for him.

I'll make it simple.

Get the results of a megamillion or powerball big lottery

Go back and play them numbers

Come back and be rich
