I’ll go first.

3 options

  • Going back to 1964 to watch the Duke Ellington’s Montreal show. Try to meet the man and the musicians. Hang around my city.
  • Go in the end of the 70s to meet my parents before they had kids. Grab a couple of beers and party with my young adults parents. See my uncles, etc. in their young time
  • Going to 1881 during the couple of days when Nietzsche wrote Zarathoustra. I want to discuss with guy even if he is supposed to be writing all day long. No consequence right.

What are yours?

    (Assuming that “no consequence” also means that I won’t die on the trip…)

    • Witness the Tunguska impact.

    • See a Beatles show when they were just some small time dudes playing in a crummy club.

    • Visit the Great Exhibition of 1851 and go inside the Crystal Palace

    I would prefer to go back in time literally 24 hours and HAVE consequences.

    I would not eat the food that likely gave me food poisoning.

    • Going back to slavery and beat some slave masters
    • Meet my mom when she was younger, maybe in high school. Tell her that she seems like a lovely young lady and very smart. I don’t think she heard that enough.
    • Go back to the first day I got my first cat.
    • I would like to see a royal party of some kind.
    • Go to a Shakespeare play while he was still alive. *Go back to where my grandma alleges she met Bill Cosby to confirm if it’s true, and, if so, punch him because apperently he was rude as hell.

    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 🙂

    I’d go back to March 13, 1986 and but myself some Microsoft stock.

    It would be nice having a few million to my name when I got back.

    Attend the 1934 Nuremberg rally.

    Not keen on the politics of it obviously but you can’t deny the nazis knew how to put on one hell of a spectacle.

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

    • 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.

    So many bands I’d love to see! But that’s somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that’dhave to be possible or else it’dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans… but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed…chomp!

    Or perhaps just see my dad again :)
