    I'd go back to 48BC to stop the Library of Alexandria from being burned.

    I would like to prevent slavery from ever having happened perhaps... but, it's still probably not a good idea, because if you mess with anything in the time continuum lots of people alive today would go poof and just disappear.

    Think I'll just go on back to the 70's to experience that decade all fun and free. See Led Zeppelin in their heyday, and all that stuff. Peace. I'm gonna have a good time.

      I'd do a time warp to the sixties so I could meet Janis and hang out with her.

        meet her before she joins the 27 club. Smack that heroin, or whatever they did, outta her cotton-pickin' hands! Give her marshmallows instead? Oh wait, that leads to diabetes. Um, give her some kale. That's healthy. But, it might end her singing career when she gives up to grow vegetables at a hippie commune to open her own farmer's market.

          She was clean for some time when she took that fatal dose of heroin, ironically. She had a relapse.

          I heard it was three times stronger than the one she was used to.
          Wonderful woman gone too soon.

            Heroin? I can't even imagine. Call me a party pooper, I wouldn't take anything like it. I can't even tolerate Benadryl, or multi-vitamins, except in low doses. Too much information, my bad.

            There's a bunch of great interviews of Janis Joplin on YouTube. This one is fun.
            Janis Joplin bitches about European audiences

    It's impossible to go back in time but if you could and whatever you did would not affect the present it would be a blast!

    I would put a piece of paper with writing on it saying 'YOLO SWAG KYS HL3 MEME, btw you can travel back in time.' and bury it in a place that would be found in 2017.

    Changing history DOES NOT make people go poof.
    And it would not change anything in the here and now.
    It would just create a split off time-line where the result of whatever you did would happen.
    It is wrong to think of the space-time continuum as a singular road, instead think of it more as all the roads in the entire world.
    Time does not just go straight ahead.
    There is even a theory that says that when some really great catastrophe or disaster(some event that changes many lives at once) not necessarily death happens, that the continuum actually makes a new split off where the event didn't happen.
    So we in fact are not even on the original time-line that humanity started out on.
    There is a further theory that states that the multi-verse is actually trying to correct itself with these time-line splits, and that the original fault that caused the very first split off was what is now commonly known as the big bang.
    Have fun people. Go create a time machine. Who knows, maybe you are the one who will be responsible for correcting the original plan.

    P.s. correcting something as simple as slavery is the thought of a moron. There were slaves before black slaves, yet people make no mention of them.

      Dude, go study the second law of thermodynamics before you get too obsessed with your time line splits.
