why time travel when there are brutal dictators today? You can always buy a plane ticket.

I would have a Lovecraftian statue carved out of some sturdy, semi-rare material that can stand the test of time, and bury it in Antarctica tens of thousands of years before homosapiens evolved. Then in present day I would wait…

If I had time travel I would prevent the big bang - or, at least, prevent the universe settling down and becoming friendly to life.

Too close in time. I’d go back and make Abraham eat lithium… or kill him when he was an child.

Time travelers are the OG BOFH. Running around fixing and improving things because: “have to.” Viciously cursing any person, place, or thing not apparently and actively helping. Diverting disaster after disaster that they may not may not be the origin of and spending a peculiar amount of time erasing evidence they exist.

I’d go back and save Sergei Korolev from dying in 1966, leading Soviet cosmonauts to land on the moon first and keeping the space race kicking for far far longer. Yes, I just started watching For All Mankind, what tipped you off?

I’m still trying to find the asshole who prevented the 6th world^[Shadowrun reference. In that setting, magic comes back to Earth in 2011] from happening

I really feel like a fungible timeline would land us in a similar spot as “you deserved everything that ever happened to you.” It would be a kind of hell or purgatory. Let me explain. To put this succinctly, imagine that our current timeline is “optimal.” That with a potentially unlimited number of meddling parties from other times, they have already done the very best they could to “fix” our current timeline. Maybe the job is done, maybe they destroyed their own ability to invent time-travel in the process. Either way, this is all we get. The optimal timeline means that every tragedy is a better outcome than would otherwise have been actively prevented, without causing even bigger tragedies later down the timeline, until more changes would only make things worse. At the same time, it raises all kinds of thorny questions around the idea of free-will. You might actually have free-will, but the mere existence of powerful beings with the ability to erase your mistakes from history, suggests otherwise.
