And what would you choose to see?

You get one trip - to the past or the future.

I'm torn between seeing dinosaurs or seeing if we have a society in 50 years.

I’d go back to the 1950s. Always wanted to cruise around in a 55’ Chevy with greased back hair and a pack of Paul malls rolled up in my sleeve.Also no social media and stupid fucking protests sound quite appealing as well.

What can you bring?

If i could bring stuff i'd bring a solar-powered Tank and some machine guns and travel way back in time.
Live like a King for 30-40 years and change History.

If i couldn't bring stuff (just your current self), i'd travel 100 years in the future just to see what happened.
Always interesting to see how much our Politicians fuck up society and the world.

If you go forward 12 years, you'll see this, according to AOC anyway.   :D

Can we alter timelines or is it just a trip to see what things were/are like?

You want to go forward, not backwards. You want to go far enough into the future where aging is cured and you have complete control over your physiology. Being fully rejuvenated and with an indefinitely open future, you'll be able to create the future you want.

Call it medical time travel. An ambulance ride into the future.

How would you know how far ahead to go? What if you don’t go far enough or you go too far and the world is burning to its core? Quite the gamble isn’t it?

I'd go back in time and give myself the perfect roadmap to follow for improved happiness (get a degree in a particular field versus wasting time deciding which makes more sense + don't get involved with certain people romantically) and guaranteed success (Sell everything you own and buy all the Apple, Amazon, Netflix & PayPal stock when they first hit the scene).

Why invest when you can start these companies yourself?

Not a terrible idea, but why work so hard to create things when I can make hundreds of millions off the backs of those creating the thing by simply funding their efforts?

Work smarter not harder broseph.

50 to 100 years. Barring a major catastrophe, we should have SENS and related therapies in about 20-30 years. Synthetic biology (where you replace stem cells niches in your body with those based on synthetic biology) likely in 50-60 years.

I'd go back to the thing that is ruining humanity.

Stupid people "believe". Why do adults not put a tooth under their pillow? Easter Bunny?
Santa is more badass at this point.

No changing shit, just a visit to check things out. That's what I was thinking when I originally posted anyway.
