The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
Given the ability to change the course of human history for better or worse by traveling to the past, where/when do you go? What do you do? What do you hope to change?
Some quick ground rules: 1) It's a oneway trip. 2) You can bring a backpack of stuff and a gun. 3) Language isn't a problem. 4) Disease from you or to you isn't a problem.
I would cause everyone to grow dicks on their faces through evolutionary gene manipulation. Social Status will be determined not by gender, but by how many face-cocks you have.
Brody Robinson
no need. its all relative. nothing is set in stone.
Jeremiah Thomas
I'm going back to 150AD to the roman empire with a backpack full of Engineering, Medical, History, Physics, and Chemistry textbooks, so we can start the industrial revolution back in Rome and use railroads and telegraph to unify romean empire and conquer most of the planet. I'm bringing an M16.
Gabriel Wilson
So back to Mesopotamia with a backpack full of surgical tools and a dream of dicks? and I thought I, as op, was the faggot.
Jordan Davis
But you could save the First, Second, or Third Reich!
Justin Harris
Go back to the American Civil War and make the south win. I'm sure they'd have let Europe alone 100 years later and uncle Adolf might have won.
Jason Nelson
I like the time place and the goal. Whats the plan? Bring the biggest machinegun you can carry and a pile of ammo and win a few of the important battles?
James Brooks
I'd say convince Robert E Lee to not fall for the ruse at Gettysburg and press to Washington. The South was winning up to that point. Gettysburg was the turning point.
Chase Parker
>Whats the plan? howitzers and mustard gas will make the trick
Noah Williams
I suppose I didn't specify size of gun so you could reasonably bring a single howitzer and all the mustard gas you could fit in a backpack.
Cameron Gonzalez
oh you mean according to the rules? well, I can carry blueprints, a gun to make reverse-engineering with, and a sample of the chemical
Luke Torres
The problem here is assuming that we would see the effects of this time manipulation, which we won't. Faggot needs to come up with a more realistic question.
Bentley Bell
>assuming that we would see the effects of this time manipulation, which we won't. We wouldn't. We would continue living as if nothing changed. You get to live in the world you changed until you die. Warping the future with all the agency you can express over the world.
The point of these hypothetical is to get people to think about how an individual can change the course of history. Plus some people find them fun/educational.
Christopher Stewart
Then ask on a board that isn't so right-wing as this cesspool of a place.
Nathan Gonzalez
I would go back to Ancient Rome with a scoped AK 47 and a backpack full of armor-piercing rounds. I would be the new Kangz an shieet
Luis Richardson
Implying that cesspools don't understand history. Implying that hating degeneracy due to seeing it on /b/ during our adolescence and understanding the realities of the races somehow magically causes people to believe in fiscal responsibility and a powerful state.
Brayden Taylor
You going full day of the rake on the senate leafbro?
Luis Adams
If that's what it would take to prevent the Dark Ages, of course! It's my civic duty
You think slaughtering the senate at any given point would somehow stop the fall of rome that led to the dark ages? Was your socialist education that bad?
