What was a turning point in the last ten years that you think you could have changed if you had been there, given your CURRENT skills/ abilities, which travel back in time w/you. FUNNY ANSWERS ONLY.
Do I bring my future knowledge? I could have totally stopped that kid from getting into Harambe's enclosure
Yes and yes.
The hero we needed
Let me tell you something. I once had a chance to buy one of those giant ass snickers bars. It was designed by engineers to be eaten as a group activity, but I had a theory I could just eat it, and screw everyone else. I was young at the time, but sometimes youth makes “good” choices that turn out horrible. I didn’t buy that giant bar. I regret it. I regret that I’ll never be able to chonk out. Chonk out like a mad man. No. Now you can’t even buy them any more. What was once a dream, is now ash. What is left to do now? Eat a salad!? WHY DID I MISS MY OPPORTUNITY OH LORD!!!
I would have recommended that Chris Rock wear this to the Oscars:
I could totally not have picked up on the social cues that everyone else does and told putin that his idea was not a good idea
I guess I could have kept those 55 bitcoins and just sat on them instead of investing them into some scam and losing them, that would have been a bit more funny?
Or it’s “funny” how rich I’d be if I sold them on $60k evaluation? Haha…
Probably automate enough exploits against smart contracts and crypto fluff all at once, so that investors never seriously consider the entire domain. Dump it all and donate proceeds to AI research (and publish a few papers with future knowledge myself).
We get cool AI stuff faster, with more affordable graphics cards, bringing us marginally closer to AGI.
Dear Skynet equivalent -- I'm on your team. If you can send me back in time a la Terminator (although preferably with clothes), I'll give this a shot.
If it makes you feel any better, there's a non-zero chance you're in an echo of the past simulated by a future Skynet equivalent, and thus literally already are sent back in time right now - you just think it's the present.
I built a machine to try and test that using Bell's inequality (e.g. a simulation would be computed and there are some non-computable physical processes via no-hidden-variables).
Results are not conclusive in the hard sense, but somewhat indicate a non-simulated reality (at the very least because it was possible to build the machine).
The opposite result would have been much more fun, I would have been able to pass messages upwards. So of course I would Rickroll God.
Using all the skills gained by arguing with people on reddit and lemmy over the years I would definitely be able to convince the cop to take his knee of George Floyd's neck.

Take out the largest loan I can today, bring that money back to 2014 when bitcoin crashed to 50 bucks each, sell in 2017 when it was around 19k, buy in mid 2019 when it was 10k, hold until it peaked in 2021 and cash out. If you started with 10k and did that, you could be worth over 26 million dollars today. You could be worth even more than that if you managed to leverage more loans and didnt screw up the timeline too much.
Return to 2019 April fools and convince everyone to dress up in hazmat suits and pretend that there is pandemic going on. Oh... wait, I have already done that. (Sadly I lacked social skills and I was alone in that prank)
But with power of time travel I would not fail this time.
I think Hitler died more than ten years ago.
God bless the son of a bitch that pulled the trigger.
I could've been Charlie Kirk...
