    Go back where about to transition to homosepians and give ourselves a favor by eliminating every single one and give way to lizard people.

    1. Check the top meme on lemmy of all time.

    2. Go back to 1 minute before they posted that and post it before they do.

    3. I am now the person who posted the highest upvoted meme ever!

    4. The Original OP in the original timeline would be so confused while I stand in the spotlight of GLORY! 😎

    Also:

    • I ask c/asklemmy questions in which the OP didn’t answer their own question, right before they conceive the idea of asking that question, in order to see if they would answer their question that they originally posted in the original timeline to what they would answer. Basically use jedi-timetravel tricks to make people ask themselves questions from a different timeline.

    I love time-trolling.

        OP is Original Poster.

        When a post is crossposted, the term OOP is used instead (Original Original Poster), as opposed to the OP of the crosspost.

        Its used in r/SubredditDrama or r/BestOfLegalAdvice where the OP would say “I’m not OOP”, in order to to reminds commeters to not direct their rage against OP.

        In this context, OOP refers to the user who originally posted it on the original timeline.

    I could think of a few historic figures I would love to see be smothered in their cradle, but I think of it’s a one way trip, I’m going to get PDFs with just about everything I would ever need to know about programming in older versions of various languages, burn them to CDs, then return to the early 90s.

    My hope would be, assuming I could take the CDs with me, that I could spend time becoming someone known specifically for making good quality software that helps people. Then when people on windows get attached to that software, pull the rig by saying that, maybe around the late 2000s, all my software will now be only available on Linux. I’d hope to create such high quality software, with the help of any other lunatics I could find, that nobody else can compete. A sort of VLC is the best, or at the very least probably the most used, video player around the world sort of software. Get entrenched and then force a shakeup.

    Bonus points on me bringing proof I’m from the future, if I could, to ensure I could get people to believe me. Something like my soft modded 3DS. Also, bonus points if I bring CDs with PDFs for future versions of things like Python and other languages and such so we could stay ahead of the curb.

    Some real techno elitist type stuff if I had to say so myself.

    If I was guaranteed to end up back where I am now in my life then I’d go back to my early 20s and head off my drinking.

    I put my friends and family especially through a lot and I’d undo that if I could, but not at the expense of all the positives in my life since I’ve been sober.

    To the middle of the carboniferous to check if it is true the hypothesis of the delayed fungal evolution. Forests growing for millions of years and wood not decaying? The mountains of dead trees is something I want to see.

    I’m going to 1450 and giving the natives guns before the Spaniards and the Portuguese arrive.

    Without them, anglos probably won’t bother either.

      Bring books on crossbow manufacturing. It’s documented that Chichimeca obsidian tipped arrows could pierce through chainmail. Most areas practicing agriculture in the Americas will either have or have access to raw materials required for the manufacturing of crossbows.
