If you had a time machine where and when would you like to go back in time and why?
Some places I'd like to go are 1980's New York when graffiti still ran on trains. I've always been into street art and since I've been young I've more or less "studied it" so I'd like to go back and see how things actually were.

Thanks Mr.Stuff from High~Light Studios for the Sig
Although I can appreciate your affinity for 80's vandalism, I think I would like to go back in time to when things were significantly different.
I'd like to see the dinosaurs, in fact, I'd go millions of years before them to see if there was anything that came before them, and so on.
I would also like to see the pyramids being built. I would probably rig my time machine so that I could watch the pyramids being built in a time lapse.
Then, I would like to see what medieval and colonial times were like. It certainly would be fun to see how people have changed.
If this time machine could go into the future, I would probably time lapse as far as I could go before there was nothing.

Lol thank you for the appreciation of 80's vandalism. But that's not all I'd like to see I was just trying to keep it short. Like I'd also love to go back to the Renaissance and see Di Vinci do a whole bunch of cool things

I would go before the beginning of time, thus creating a rift in time, thus destroying the would-be universe. Then I could claim the title DESTROYER OF THE UNIVERSE!
If you go millions of years before the dinosaurs, you'll just end up looking at big reptillian/mamallion life forms. Or fish.
Personnaly I would never go back in time. Or ahead for that matter. There are just too many ways that you could screw things up. Or, actually you would have already done those things.AAAAAAAGH paradox!!:weird:
If I had to I would get a **** load of vaccines, then travel to the renassaince (yes I know that's not how you spell it, but it's the best I can do), then a little farther, and probably into a budist sanctuary.
I would also go back to when the big Nazca lines were supposedley made. Just to see how they did it.
And I would go meet Jesus, convince the carpenter to perform magic tricks, and thus create Christianity. Or just watch him through crucial moments of his life.
If my time machine produces a big FLASH and strange sounds, I might be able to be named a god.....or a witch..eek.
Now that I think of it. It would be scary to use a time machine.

I understand.
I found it a little strange that in your hypothetical situation you are presented with a time machine and your first destination is the 1980s. Truth is, you could probably just buy a plane ticket (this would be cheaper than a time machine ticket...i think) and visit Romania or the likes and you will find yourself in a very 1980's scenario (they are a little behind on the times there). I'm sure Baywatch just hit the air waves there, so if you go now you can probably get there during the apex of Romania's street-art-era. I would consider bringing some bottled water and a duffel bag of Top Ramen for sustenance. Romania may be a little more gangster than actual 1980's New York.
Also, Archbounds. I don't know this for sure, but I don't think you would be capable of rifting time as it would present a paradox. If you change the past and obliterate all chances for the future, you would be destroying yourself in the process. And if you are just rifting the universal timeline, then you have really done nothing at all, because we would still be safe in our timeline.
i'd have George Carlin to guide me on my endeavours, which include recruiting Ghengis Khan, Abe Lincoln, Napoleon (among others) to help me conquer Hamilton, OH = then Cincy = then the whole state = etc. etc. etc.

(about the English language) It's kinda like a raft that was cobbled together from parts of three different boats and since then has been kept barely afloat with crude repairs every time a leak appeared.
I would go back to ancient times and do several things.
1. Investigate as to whether Atlantis and Lemuria actually existed or not.
2. Study ancient Native American culture. I've always wondered what America was like 3-4 thousand years ago.
4. Watch the pyramids being built, both the Egyptian and the Mayan pyramids.
5. Search for the historical location and time of the Battle of Troy, and it's true cause (was Helen really the reason two nations went to war?).
6. Visit ancient China and ancient India. I also want to see if my theory that extraterrestrials were responsible for most of the early polytheistic religions is correct or not. I also want to see if dragons (or a race of creatures that could have started the legends) ever really existed.
7. Go back and see exactly what happened from 0-33 A.D.
8. Go back to earlier biblical times and see what caused the flood, what truth there is behind Noah's Ark, what truth there is behind the Garden of Eden, and basically investigate the entire Old Testament.
9. Do tons more stuff that I can't even think of right now. I would also probably go to the future, if I could.
Assuming I age naturally while time traveling, I would probably die of old age before I returned to my own time.

I would go back and create conditions for diamonds to be made, then when I return I would excavate them and be rich. Also I would buy a huge amount of rare comic books and such.

Well, that time in NY isn't about the stereotypical 80's stuff; there was some really singular artwork being done with people like Herring, Basquiat, etc. I can honestly appreciate what NERER0CKET is talking about.
I would be deeply interested in experiencing more contemporary things at their height. Seeing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Velvet Underground, etc. live in their seminal years, and to honestly experience the people who were in the culture at the time.
I figure it's close enough to my own time, so that I could experience it without sticking out like a sore thumb due to my ethnicity and such.
I might be tempted to go back in time and just stay there. Although it would be difficult to choose when and where. Granted, almost all the options I have in mind would be before the invention of the internet, antibiotics, television, etc.
Some things I'm interested in seeing and confirming from a distance (no meddling in the time stream or course of events):
The building of the Pyramids, or of Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, or the Great Wall. Were they really built by slaves, or assisted by aliens? Were Buddhist monks and warriors really interred inside the walls of the Great Wall to keep watch forever?
The discovery of fire
The Crucifixion and the Resurrection. What really happened? Actually I'd be tempted to ask questions and listen to the Sermons to watch how Jesus interacted with the Evangelists and followers from all nations.
The various discoveries of the New World. Who was really first, and what happened? What was life really like in the New World about the time the Crusades and the Renaissance were in swing in Europe? What was life like for ordinary people in the Aztec empire, or the Inca?
Places in time I would go to perhaps intervene: Most of them have to do with my family, or my own choices in life.
If future time travel were possible, I would go and see what becomes of the people I care about and the things I want now.
If i had a time machine, i would probably end up doing something really stupid which would cause the destruction of space/time continuum that aside i suppose i would go back to the 70's-80's buy stocks in starting companies that later on will become massive multimillion dollar corporations, go to a lawyer will them to "me" after enough time has passed (like the day after or more like the hour or five minutes after i would have gone back in time) and then open a bank account where i will put this will and stocks (although i suppose i could buy them on my proper name but i dont know if that would change the timestreams.) for me to get once i get back from the past and start raking in billions in dough.
But thats just me

That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange eons even death may die.
I'd go back to my apartment on May 11, 2009(the day before my birthday no less), about 5 minutes after I left to do my laundry at my mom's house. There was a terrible fire that made the place unlivable and killed my roommate's pets. The fire smoldered for quite some time it seems and since I had a fire extinquisher in my room I could run up to get it and them put out the fire. Also, I would call my roommate and blast her for smoking weed that day.
Wow, that's easy. I would go back to 1992 California, preorder as many boxes of Alpha as I could, and end up with the greatest collection of mint condition Black Lotus' and Moxen the world has ever seen!!! Isn't that what every magic player wants? What could be more grand than that?

Are we in a "Back to the Future" style time travel device where I can alter the past and therefore the future? If that's the case, you can't do something like preordering boxes of Alpha, since that would prevent others from getting them, or give them to different people, thereby altering the initial circumstances of how early Magic spread, possibly destroying it as we know it.

.....damn
You figured out my evil plan! I actually hate magic, and wish it had never come to be!
And no, we're using Star Trek time travel rules - that way we can create ridiculous numbers of paradoxes.

I should have been more specific. To avoid a possible debate about a numerous amount of things let's just say were using a means of time travel that will not affect the future. The time machine will put you in the time period as an observer.
Also @ Shaharazad Herring was so cool! My art teacher got to work with him when he did custom watches for Swatch. She has the full series of them signed by him.
Something I'd also like to do is be there when Lincon got shot or when he dug up his dead son.

If not, I'd like to come back to now, and make sure I never get the time machine.
But wait!
What happens now?
I would have a chat with Socrates on a variety of topics.
I would go listen to a Jimi Hendrix concert
So many things to do...Oh and I would get the winning lottery numbers and then go back one week ago and give them to my past self.
1. Investigate as to whether Atlantis and Lemuria actually existed or not.
2. Study ancient Native American culture. I've always wondered what America was like 3-4 thousand years ago.
