    Option B For The Win. Several seemingly minor things would change, then in late 1978 there'd be a major diversion from the course of history. I'd never see my family again, my parents would lose everything they'd worked for, and my little sister would go be homeless with them -- but I'd choose myself, my wife, and our children over saving my parents from the unpleasant consequences of their own decisions. I've never even been thanked for the sacrifices I made by those who benefited from them.

    Assuming that I couldn't take anything tangible back with me, I'd memorize some horse races, high performing stocks, and lottery numbers -- there'd be no sense in not doing so, after all. My wife and I dreamt of running an organic farm, semi-communally, offering an alternative to the system for abused but not out of control teenagers, and devoting a sizable fraction of the operation to low cost/no cost wholesome food for the needy. It'd be nice to get something going quickly and surely with some gambling winnings rather than by scrimping and saving for a couple of decades during which the dream might die. After all, we'd have no idea what the future would hold if it weren't the one we're in now.

    I could go on at greater length but I'll spare ya.

    I would venture to say if you went back in time, history would not play out the same. It's all variables! Some things may be more certain in our society, like Bill Gates success (unless you go back in history and convince him home computers are a trash idea, and do it yourself :D).

    Btw, no one said A). You can be an international courier that can deliver goods instantly, thus making a fortune$ & now having the ability to travel anywhere. You could easily become fluent in multiple languages. Oh one can dream...

    Universal teleportation 12 times a day? Sold.

    I would bang up a fortune real quick, probably just teleport into a bank vault or something. Then I'd spend my days breakfasting in Madrid, having lunch in New York, and eating dinner while watching a distant supernova go off, while.

    Now if option B were be able to travel back into any period of your life once per day. conceivably I could use that power to live as an immortal demi-god. But just once, pass?

    Option C would be cool too, but not my style I suppose.

    If I could option B time travel once per day, I would re-live the same wicked party over and over lol. After 5-10 times I would have hooked up with every chic there. :devil:

    Well not the same day I meant different days. Same day sounds is a Groundhog Day nightmare.

    Definitely C. I've always wished I could get away from this world, so... I'd probably go to a fairytale land where nothing bad ever happens. lol

    Definitely C - Hogwarts all the way!

    Option B: wouldn't it be a Back to the Future-type scenario where you end up in an alternate reality and wish you hadn't? Anyways, I choose C.

    if i can do it more than one time, then B

    i mean, if i can keep reliving my life ...

    ... i would live a different life everytime ... trying to experience the most i can...

    but if there is no 'keep reliving' option, then C ... definitely ... all the way ... i would go to some very weird parallel universes man
