What would you do with the ability to go back in time and how would that change our history?

It might sound crazy, but I wouldn't change a thing, and here's why: any change in history might mean that most of us wouldn't exist, or our relations might be completely changed (the butterfly effect), which means our parents, friends, and everything else might not exist, or wouldn't know each other, or would meet under different circumstances. Sure, history has loads of horrendous events, but in the end, no-one could guarantee that their changes in history would be for the better. And even if you'd know that something might turn out better—would you be willing to sacrifice all of this world for it?

I don't think I would change anything. I would be way too scared to mess things up and make everything much worse.

There was once a girl I liked so I asked her out. However I was shy as hell back then and asked if she would meet me round the corner where there were a few less people. She brought 50 People with her who all filmed the exact moment I asked her out in front of them and she laughed in my face. That video was uploaded to Facebook and my self confidence was destroyed. I am a changed guy now but it took a long damn time to heal that damage. I would change that moment in time so that I would not have gone through that and got on with my life earlier

I would go back and change the moment that men started to subjugate women. I believe that if women had an equal role in history, and girls were cherished and not treated as breeding stock by fathers and husbands, many ills of the world could have been avoided. I believe there would have been less war and more preservation of natural resources because women are innately practical. I also feel sure that at least one woman who was traveling with Jesus said "hey, we should hire someone to write all this down" and was ignored. If women were of equal value to a man, rape would never be tool in war, and slavery, and that would greatly have changed how the Europeans who explored the Americas interacted with the people they found there. Women in equal roles in the early church would have brought a pragmatism to the original goals of the Christian church which were to share everything in common and preach the good news. Certainly, there are greedy women, and stupid women, we could point and say "it would not have worked" but overall, we can see the destruction that thousands of years of patriarchy has brought the beings of Earth and I firmly believe that the equal role of women in Earth's affairs would be a mitigating factor to the heavy-handed, frat-house politics, testosterone fueled destruction we have seen evidenced all around us.

There was so much 'wrong' over the history that it's difficult to pick from. Of course, it has shaped the world we live in today, but if certain things could be avoided, that would be great, you know what I mean? I would forbid wars and make big guys battle it out in a tabletop game or a video game, depending on the period.

First, I'd go to Stephen Hawking's time traveller party - I bet he was a real blast. Then, I would go back to a time just after The Return Of The Jedi and have a good long chat with George Lucas about Jar-Jar Binks and the Star Wars legacy. I think that would serve mankind well.

No question that I would go back to the time when Christianity was invented and stop it from happening. I have researched this and found that no-one wrote about Jesus when he was said to be alive. The 4 gospels were written by people who never even met him, so have no authenticity. Anyway, if it wasn't for Christianity, we would not have hard the dark ages, where religion supressed all kinds of development to keep the population enslaved. Advances were forbidden for 1300 years and if it hadn't happened, we probably would have had all the things we currently have, but at least 500 years earlier.

I would go back in the early 1900s when the companies started getting the same rights as people and became legal persons. Without that no huge corporations would exist today.

I would slash the tires of the guy in the bar who had way too much to drink, and killed two young guys riding their motorcycles home from night school. I hope the affect would be growing up with my father and godfather

I'm not sure.
People always say they'd want to go back and kill Hitler, but honestly, someone else would take his place. I'm not excusing him on anything he did. It was atrocious, but the butterfly effect would put someone else in his situation.
I don't think I would want to change anything, for that matter. I would just like everything to stay the same.
