As you scroll through the list, you will see that some of these range from absolutely hilarious to downright serious. People have mentioned the last moments of famous personalities and even of their dear ones. Well, that is only natural—when staying up-to-date with everything, reading a new novel, or watching that season finale, we often forget to communicate with the ones close to us.
It's crazy to think how social media connects us with people who are oceans away, yet distances us from the ones who are so near to us. And when you lose those people, the grief obviously hits hard, and you want nothing more than to spend just one more second with them if possible.

That’d probably f**k him up pretty good.

Some people have also spoken about famous historical moments that they would like to get in touch with. Let's look at one of my personal favorites, the story of Ea-nāṣir. For those who don't know, the "complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir" is basically the world’s oldest recorded customer complaint. That's right, even ancient people hated bad service.
It’s a little clay tablet from around 1750 BCE in Mesopotamia, where a guy named Nanni totally calls out a copper merchant, Ea-nāṣir, for delivering bad quality copper and being super rude about it. It’s hilarious and relatable because it proves that even 4,000 years ago, people were already dealing with shady business deals and writing strongly worded messages about them.

From Abraham Lincoln to Princess Diana, people said that they would warn them about the devastating things that eventually took their lives. Both are notable figures who changed the lives of so many people, so I get why folks would want to save them. It would be an absolute miracle to see how things would turn out for these two if they were indeed left alive.
Someone also jokingly mentioned how they would call themselves in 2005 and advise buying Bitcoin. Considering that there are people who actually made millions because of Bitcoin, I'd say Amen to that! Another fellow also mentioned that they would call themselves just to share the number of the next jackpot. Well, it looks like this magical phone is quickly turning into a golden opportunity for folks.

I would literally give my right arm. Maybe even the left one too.

One that really warmed my heart was a phone call to Robin Williams. Just to tell him that the world loves him, and oh, how true that is! Despite what he was going through in his own life, he brought a smile to the lives of so many people.
Someone also mentioned tipping the FBI about the horror that was going to take over New York on 9/11. That would be truly helpful, right? Just makes us wish the phone calls were real.

Edit: fixed my error. In my defence, not American or know about the history of ICE.

Looking at the number of people who mentioned calling their loved ones, it just made me realize that I need to start spending more time with my family. Well, taking my mom out for dinner this weekend sounds like a good idea. I would strongly advise you to do the same. Not just your mom, but any of your loved ones.
Anyway, that's the end from us folks. We want to hear who you would pick, and what you would say to them. Feel free to share with us in the comments. Also, don't forget to upvote your personal favorites on this list!
