Macabre_Cogitation Why, simply the choice is Vanilla. As for the matter involving time travel, I would chose to simply stay put. Previously stated was the possibility of a "butterfly effect". That, I believe would happen at even the slightest alteration of history, past, present, or even future. If you alter the past, you thus alter all of the future which is a massive change that could invariably affect the entire universe. Just as changing the future may as well do. Staying put is the best option. Besides, the Time Machine is a crappy ride. But this raises the paradox argument, what if your meant to go back, to trigger a key event in history, but by not going back, you alter the present. But of course, then we enter into metaphysical territory regarding free will and what is the present.

I'd go back in time but I wouldn't try to change anything. I'd just scratch the hundred year rule and go to all the great concerts!

The trick is to not think of time as linear. I just can't do it!

The Doctor put it best, "People assume that time is a straight progression of cause to affect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff."

I think pratchett put it best actually, time is like an elestic band, you can change things, but in the end time will find its course again, maybe a little warped in places, but still the same stream of cause and effect.

Vanilla is way better. My favourite iced cream topping, Sprinkles, taste better with Vanilla
I'd like to travel forward. My rationale is that if I'm a freak in today's time, I'd be an even bigger freak in the past. If I get pitchforked before I can do anything going back in time is a waste.
I'd probably change how lazy people are going to become. Because technology is all about making conveniences and with the way we're going we all going to be fat lazy blobs in the future and I wouldn't like that.

...I'd probably change how lazy people are going to become. Because technology is all about making conveniences and with the way we're going we all going to be fat lazy blobs in the future and I wouldn't like that. That's actually a very good idea....why didn't someone think of that sooner? Ironically we're using a computer to spread our ideas of eradicating laziness....

I honestly fear I might be banned from the future so I'm not touching it with a 100 ft pole.If there are future people they must have surely figured out that we would figure out how to try to come into the future and knowing that everything would get screwed up if we knew too much they found a way to stop it.If not then we're all stupid in the future an I'm screwed good with my mushroom. rolleyes

1908? I guess so. Just get your fashions right or you'll be mistaken for a street urchin when travelling through time.
