You're a time travler, what's your mission?

Ok, so. You're a time traveler. You can go to any point in history of Earth. Where do you go and what is your mission? Here's the rules: 1- You can go back to any point in history to perform a task 2- You don't get to bring back any modern devices or materials back in time with you 3- It's a one way trip, meaning even after you accomplish your mission, you're stuck in that time period. I would be a Spitfire pilot during the Battle of Britain. Probably one of the most epic and terrifying moments in human history. But it showed the world what people were capable of when their backs were against the wall and they were getting bombed on a daily basis for almost 4 months. There were more Hurricanes during the Battle of Britain, but the Spitfire looks much more heroic, wouldn't you say?

I'd go back and make sure the Terminator doesn't kill Sarah Connor. Or maybe experience a lot of the classic rock bands perform live. Besides personal reasons, it's kinda pointless to try and change history if you can't go back and find out the consequences of your actions in the present/future. Unless you went back just far enough for your lifespan to overlap itself.

Yeah, but if you went back to stop your own birth than you wouldn't have lived to be able to go back in time to stop yourself from being born...paradox!

ok I got a better idea as vin said ill go back to play the lottery and then win it and figure out what big thing like console or business its going to start up and back it up with my money and then so on until all my money is gone. so when I come back to the new present im super rich

that's actually very true, unless you take in mind the timeline split theory. Than I would stop my own birth by suicide bombing my mom O.O Yes that sounds bad but you don't know what I've been trough and what she's going trough It would be good for her. She was numb below her belt for years and was noted down to never walk again but she just said no and made herself walk again. She's been getting operations multiple times a year. She has a diseas that is unknown and for some reason because it has no known way to be healed she should go working ... Like WTF is wrong with this world .... srsly Wouldn't not having a way to be healed be a reason for her not to work O.O Now she's forced to do social labor thingy now and then otherwise she won't get any money anymore unless she would go work a part/full time job. And people still want to live in this world??? O.O I'm 20 and a lot of people that truely know me, doctors and such as well say that I know and understand to much and because I don't want to follow the rules and live like the rest is what's making me feel bad and depressed all the time. With other words there are people out there that know and understand that everything they're doing is useless but they just accept it ... sorry but i'm not like that People are put in school the moment they can think and become brainwashed to live the life like all the rest. Their road has been drawn out for them without they having a lot if even any way of choosing it themselfs at least a bit. After school you're forced to work until your energy is drained out and you become old and useless (if you live that long) and then they say you can do everything you want now and you'll have all the time to do it ... the only thing you do is waking up and sit on the couch like a zombie. I don't see a lot of people on retirement having a lot of fun ... because they don't have the energy for it anymore .... anyway again going of topic .... but yeah I still don't know why I'm still around. I was going to end it 4-5 years ago but someone stopped that (something actually long story). I'm still wondering why exactly I wish I knew why i'm still here, I had a crappy life and even now I live in constant pain. Mentally and physically ... That life is also a little bit of a reason why I haven't really felt like sharing it with another person. I would ruin taht persons life so much ....
