If you could go back in time... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Pyrate · 06-23-2003, 06:29 AM

...and bring one, just one thing from the future with you, what would you bring? Bear in mind that whatever you bring you would keep there...

I would probably bring a bicycle. Why? Because I'd be interested to see what bikes would look like once I return to my own time. If not that then probably a CD. Just to see if they'd skip tapes and go straight onto mp3. Or maybe a bar of chocolate, just to see the look on the face of the person I give it when they taste it.

What would you bring with you?

Shokan · 06-23-2003, 08:05 AM

A lighter. Back to caveman days. I will rule my neaderthal armies with an iron fist, and will be ruler of all that I see.

bender · 06-23-2003, 08:15 AM

Can you bring a person or does it have to be an object ?

Pyrate · 06-23-2003, 08:56 AM

Well, both I suppose...but bear in mind that bringing Britney Spears into the past is a baaaaaaaaad idea...

alterEGO · 06-23-2003, 09:57 AM

Get my exgirlfriend back...

Why? Because i loved her and made i stupid mistake..Well maybe i didn't love her that much i just wanted to fuck her gently.

An interesting question. It'd be fun to bring a car back to the middle ages but after the tank of gas ran out, it'd be a dead weight (unless you know how to refine oil). Likewise a TV/DVD or computer without electricity.

Now bringing a modern car back to the early 20th Century would be interesting. I don't know that any improvements would be possible; would tools exist to reverse engineer it (circuit boards)?

I guess I'll go the route of Ashton but with a bit of "Back to the Future" and bring back a sports almanac.

Oh! If it's a short trip back in time, I'll bring some gold, turn it into cash and put it in an interest-bearing account for when I get back to my time. (each $1,000 will become over $130,000 at 5% over 100 years, over a million dollars over 150 years.)

When do we go?!?

Arock · 06-23-2003, 05:49 PM

I'd take a video camera and video the meetings and the writing of the constitution.

Pyrate · 06-24-2003, 06:41 AM

I'd also wanna bring a porn magazine back to the Victorian days, just to see people have fits of outrage.

I'd also wanna bring a porn magazine back to the Victorian days, jsut to see people have fits of ourage.

He meant to have spelling errors, but doesn't know how to edit.

How about a really kick-ass sailboat, with automatic controls (solar powered, of course).

Reese · 06-25-2003, 04:58 AM

I'd take a sport almanac with the outcome of every game ever played from 1950-2000.. no need to return to the present.

Or I'd travel to nostradamus's time and tell him all kind of cryptic shit.. actually I think someone already did that...

ARRH · 06-25-2003, 05:56 AM

I'd go back and buy just ONE of the first ever Microsoft shares.

I realised I made a mistake and quickly pressed stop to try and edit it b4 it was posted. I never notice the edit button.

ironx · 06-26-2003, 07:46 AM

likely, i'd more interested in WHEN i'd go.

vermin · 06-26-2003, 08:14 AM

An Ohio class ballistic missile submarine. See what happens when the south wins the civil war, or blast Berlin just before the invasion of Russia (killing Hitler yet leaving Germany in control of most of europe). Just for shits and giggles.

aryan · 10-03-2003, 05:25 PM

I would go back and buy a 1970 chevelle ls6 loaded with options and store it. Heck I would buy 4 or more!!!!

Fremen · 10-03-2003, 08:07 PM

I would go back in time to the heyday of the pirates and take a state-of-the-art solar-powered battleship with me that had a complement of Ski-doos, kind of like on Waterworld.
If they don't make them solar-powered, then a state-of-the-art sailing ship.

Spain wouldn't be the dominating sea-faring force anymore.

I would be King of the Pirates!! Aarrrrr!
