Since I can't interact, therefore can't change the future, I'd want to be in the Book Depository at Dealey Plaza and see exactly what the frick went down with Lea Harvey and JFK.

01/09/16...30 minutes before the deadline to select the powerball numbers for that $949.8 Million jackpot

The following week, the largest powerball jackpot in history, ($1.5864 Billion), was split by 3 people

I'd like to be in New York City 30 minutes before the first plane hit the World Trade Center so that I could warn people in the buildings to get out while they could and maybe save some lives.

Let’s say you went with the sports betting one and could only bring $1000 cash. What would the play be?


You go back and bet on Leicester City winning the Premier League.

They were 5,000-1 to win it.

You can’t interact. You can’t change what’s happening. The money angle doesn’t apply. You can’t bring anything back, and you can’t talk someone into putting it into your account. You’re just watching for 30 mins and leaving.

I guess I'd want to witness something like the JFK assassination to see what really happened.


Newsflash: A fellow by the name of Oswald shot him from the School Book Depository Building. Oswald fired alone.

May 15th 1997 when the stock market opened so I could buy 20,000$ of Amazon stock at 18$ a share when it went public.

EDIT just saw the invisible part. I don't like this game anymore what's the point of going back in time if I can't get rich or catch a nut.

July 9th, 1982
Apple stock was at its All time low of 0.21 cents per share. Put 1000 on it. Today that would be 266,666 shares. With stock splits. At 219.63 a share that would be worth $58,568,000

Ok, let’s say yore basically a fly on the wall. How do you monetize it?

Could you get into a company’s boardroom or somewhere that you could gather information?

Some sort of blackmail?
