Option 1: Attend Stewen Hawking's time traveller party - he likely won't expect someone so dumb though
Option 2: Watch and experience Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia - I often hear our conservatives argue this was actually friendly

I'd definitely try to record everything in both cases.

Initially I read that as “you can go back in time for 24 hours” and thought why would 24 hours ago be that interesting? :)

So my initial answer is: Not eating the late night burger I had last night.

My final answer is: San Francisco in the 60s/70s to hang out with the Dead and all the other amazing artists of that time. Maybe see a show at the Fillmore.

I would go back to when this post had no comments and be the first so I can explain to everyone else what no consequence means. That way when I come back to the present I can still be disappointed by half of the answers in this thread.

At first I thought you meant "go back in time 24hs" in which case my answer would have been "yes! And get my haircut elsewhere!!!" But seeing what you mean for real, and with no consequences, I'd go back in time to see extinct animals. Shame I can't bring photos back with me

Gonna go see some dinosaurs

I'd try to meet the Buddha, and see if he could shed some of that instant enlightenment on me. In the stories, he seemed to be able to say just the right thing to people to wake them up out of the matrix.

My first answer was "buy Apple stock" but no effect on the time line probably means I don't make any money. (well wait, what about enlightenment then, does that come with me?)

I would prefer to go back in time literally 24 hours and HAVE consequences.

I would not eat the food that likely gave me food poisoning.

(Assuming that "no consequence" also means that I won't die on the trip...)

• Witness the Tunguska impact.

• See a Beatles show when they were just some small time dudes playing in a crummy club.

• Visit the Great Exhibition of 1851 and go inside the Crystal Palace

Go back to see how they built Stonehenge

• Going back to slavery and beat some slave masters
• Meet my mom when she was younger, maybe in high school. Tell her that she seems like a lovely young lady and very smart. I don't think she heard that enough.
• Go back to the first day I got my first cat.
• I would like to see a royal party of some kind.
• Go to a Shakespeare play while he was still alive.
• Go back to where my grandma alleges she met Bill Cosby to confirm if it's true, and, if so, punch him because apperently he was rude as hell.

Prevent myself from being born.

Go back to when I sold all 100+ Bitcoin for like $5 each and tell myself "no".

I'd like to go back many times to earlier in my life and try different dialogue options.

Like that time you thought of the perfect comeback two days later?

Or just learn how people act and react. If I say this, they react that way. Now if I say that how do they react?

I wanna see Carthage

Assuming no consequences means I won't die, or catch a disease or something, I'd go back like a hundred million years or so to look at dinosaurs.

So many bands I'd love to see! But that's somewhat small fry, so to speak, so ancient history, if I could travel to a different location also instantaneously (guess that'dhave to be possible or else it'dbe pretty boring or hard work!). Ancient Egypt, Greece, Central America Mayans... but then, are WE immune from consequences also?! Free from contracting diseases, free from being sacrficed to a god or getting enslaved?! Can we communicate with them?! Dinosaurs would also be awesome, if immunity was guaranteed....chomp!

Or perhaps just see my dad again :)

I'd love to get the chance to talk to Isaac Asimov and talk to him about the future and how he decided to start releasing his stories. Probably around 1972 because I liked bicentennial man a lot.

Other than that:

• go back to see socialist radical anti-authoritarian Jesus do his real protesting instead of the biblical king washed stories.
• or go back to the fall of Amen to see the end and beginning of monotheism of the modern day and understand the actual departure of the worker force
• see if I can find the actual great flood that all the myths seem to talk about and see if the conspiracy of it being about the Mediterranean basin is true. So probably Mesopotamia time and hope it's recent enough memory to hear actual stories.

See Jimi Hendrix live.

• Go to Teotihuacan to see how non/hierarchical it was, maybe trip balls if the opportunity presents itself.

• Go to Harappa or Mahenjo Daro and see how indus seals were used.

• Kindly ask the Minoans if that topless lady holding the snakes is in charge.

Camera in hand, time to visit Chavín lands! They're one of the earliest recognizable societies of the Peruvian Andes. Given that a language barrier would be true for pretty much any "too far back" visits, might as well go with one that I'm really damn curious about!

If there were no consequences, I can think of a few different things I'd wanna see.

1. Just out of morbid curiosity, what an atomic bomb dropping looks like when it explodes, being there in person rather than just seeing footage (from a safe distance with protective equipment, just in case I can still get hurt, otherwise get as close as possible if there are absolutely zero consequences to my actions, as if I'm a spectator in minecr*ft).
2. Probably just go back in time and watch as many cartoons as I could back in the early netflix streaming era because I absolutely love cartoons.
3. Definitely go back in time and watch either An American Tail or Fivel Goes West in theaters because I really like both movies.

I think it'd be neat to go to like 10,000 BC and just live a day in the life of some tribe/ancient city.

Find out a burning question that paleontologists have but can't find an answer to and tell them where to look.
