While this question is specifically about time travel, I responded to a similar thread about a month ago with the same answers I would’ve typed up here… so here’s my answer.

I would like to travel back in time five minutes, collect myself and travel back in time five minutes and collect myself and travel back five minutes and collect myself. Then the bunch of us jump back the the 90’s form a girl group stealing Lady GaGa songs. We preform a pop arrangement of “Johnny Be Good” at all our shows during our brief career and then literally disappear in time resulting in the best VH1 Where Are They Now? EVAR.

Yes, I would absolutely time travel.

I would go back in time and invent the wheel thousands of years before it was, distributing it widely so it catches on. Then I’d continue inventing things before they were invented, go forward in time and see how much more advanced we are.

I’d have a conversation with Cleopatra, Napoleon, Aristotle, etc. I’m hoping that something that automatically translates languages will be invented before this to make it possible.

I would like to go back in time to see a real live Tyrannosaurus Rex. Childish I know. I would also like to travel forward in time, further and further like HG Wells’s time traveller, just for the hell of it.

Time travel is so last year, you could even say that it’s dated.
I’d quite fancy going back to the wild west era, so I can live the life of a charismatic bandit.
I’d have a shiny pistol housed in a black leather holster slung at a jaunty angle across my hips.
My pick of the finest ladies in town, purely for humping purposes of course.
I can see a couple of drawbacks that would shatter this adventure though, my inability to ride a horse & i’m shit at card games, still, never mind eh.

Future – I want to see how the world changes. I think I’d jump forward 10 years, stick around for a year, 100 years, stick around for a year, 1000 years, stick around for a year, etc…

I already time travel in my imagination, which is exactly how people would time travel if the laws of physics were followed.
