If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future?

Question

That's interesting. I'm a curious creature with a futuristic mind. I would like to know what might happen in the future. Well, it'd be better not to know? Like horoscope, how would you brighten your day up if something not so good is going to happen. Though if it turns out great, would you just assume it'd be what you see, and start to walk slower with confidence?
I prefer to live in today with hope and imagination; make the best in this moment and every moment.

Sorry, I just watched Tomorrowland, and my mind is buzzing.

I would love to visit the future to check on myself and my life. I worry a lot about the future especially that there’s a baby in the picture now

I'd go back to the 1960's... I could save enough to buy a Nautilus for $3,000 in the 70's and have enough time to obtain enough silver for the Hunt brother's crisis of the early 80's, sell that off, buy property before the 90's boom in London, load up on silver and Apple shares after that, sell the silver for Bitcoin in the early 2010's and sell that in 2017 to afford a great retirement

I'd visit the future - I'm just really fascinated by what's possible, how much we can achieve and learn about the universe in general. It sometimes makes me sad that I will likely not be around for many major breakthroughs and technological advancements so I'd definitely want to take that opportunity if it were possible :D

jade_cat · Answer

Neither... the past is what makes the present what it is and I don't want to risk fucking everything up and I rather not know the future i like living life and not knowing what going to happen next if I knew what was going to happen it will take the joy out of everything

UmmWhatsGoingOn · Answer

If the future turns out how I wanted to I would want to go there. BUT I have no actual way of knowing how the future will turn out so I would choose the past and change something about the past some historical moment and change it trying to make the future even better maybe even the present better

likelyOK · Answer

Excellent question, as tempting as it would be to go fwd I'd go I to the past but not too far that I might mess anything up that would change my life worse off or some catastrophic butterfly affect, although My life is not so important that I believe it would affect the whole nation.

theChineseWASP · Answer

I'd rather visit the future. However, I think an even cooler machine would be something that explores alternative timelines. Cause I mean one timeline can get kind of boring.

Anonymous · Answer

great question!
i'd be more curious to visit the future.
although I have some past mistakes I would like to erase, I've worked hard to get here, and my past was dark and painful to begin with anyway. I wouldn't like to revisit those times.

Konabeana · Answer

Back in time so that I can relive my life for a second time doing things differently and expecting a different outcome

lolilola · Answer

Wow, I've always imagined having a time machine but surprisingly never thought of visiting the future, only the past. I guess because there are things I'd like to change in my life in the past or at least take a look at and observe. There are also some eras I dream of experiencing like the 30s or 80s. Thinking of the future is a bit scary.
