extra stout posted:i would warn my middle school spanish teacher of the attacks and tell her i only want her to be safe, she would think im crazy and then 3 days later i'd get my first blowjob by a teacher once she realized i was a prophet. this would shave several weeks off my current "first time being orally raped by a teacher" record that feels almost impossible to break without time travel, which i had not considered until you posted this thread.

call my grandpa and use the upcoming 9/11 event and his non-poo poo non-dementia ridden memory to leverage my ability to predict that catastrophe to predict the coming tech bubble collapse so he can cash out while he's still a millionaire.

As a twelve year old, I wouldn't even worry about changing 9/11. I could convince a handful of people I truly came from the future, but no one with influence. If word gets out, you really think you'd be a celebrity? You would be a conspiracy theory, and the reality is you would spend the rest of your life in a blacklisted CIA site. You would literally go into a solitary confinement cell for the rest of your life. I'll pass. Call me greedy, but I'd use the opportunity to do things differently. Convince family to invest in the big tech companies (what am I going to invest with, my pog collection?) and breeze through high school classes. Shits so easy in hind site. Take community college classes on the side. Graduate early, take my same degree and get it at 20, be hailed a genius, and go work at NASA or somewhere. Write down all the song lyrics I can think of (I've got a shitload of eminem songs memorized), get it dated and notorized and find a way to cross paths with him. Spend a month trolling through the Detroit until I find him. Then get a photo with him, then in a decade start blackmailing. Put all my money on Obama. That's basically all I remember. Money on Obama, money into tech stocks, and don't drink a third margarita on thanksgiving 2011.

On 9/11 go to a bar that opens at 7:00 AM, get hammered (might not work if you're 12 again), around 8:30 start a betting pool (know your timeline: 1st plane @ 8:46 but nothing on TV about it till 9:02 after the weightloss pill ads). Then do a "...wait for it, wait for it..." for the second plane and other events. What could possibly go wrong?

This actually happened to me OP, 9 times in fact. I'm the one who warned the French, German, British, Israeli, Jordanian, Afghani, Egyptian, Moroccan and Russian government of the attacks. Unfortunately, I had only traveled back in time a single day each time, so there was little information to go on and no real way to make money off it.

unless you are someone in a high level but not-high-level-enough-to-be-political three letter agency sort of job, you're not stopping things even if you wake up 13 years ago, and even then if the conspiracy theorists are right you will fail anyway. So have a lot of fun trying that instead of using the event as leverage to establish premonition among people you know and ride out the next decade quietly making yourself and everyone around you rich as gently caress.

I thought about this a long time ago. If you did anything drastic like try to barricade the doors the WTC or somehow convinced the airlines to not fly those routes you'll probably be arrested and convicted of terrorism because it's highly unlikely you'll stop all of it. With all the patriotism and hysteria that happened in 02-04 they would make an example out of you, even if all you were doing was trying to save lives. Honestly I would try to accumulate as much money as possible and invest money in Google and whatever big IPOs that happened between say 2003 and 2007, and quit after that.

What if you just used a payphone to call in a bomb threat for those specific flights right before their scheduled takeoff time? They'd be grounded by the airline to be inspected. The terrorists would catch on to the fact that it was only the flights they were planning to hijack that got calls and probably abort the mission.

Or a hell of a lot of money a 13 year old shouldn't have, but is willing to donate to a lot of the right people. My Q-Face posted:Why isn't there enough time? You know their faces, you know where they took off from, there's video of them going there, I mean, get to Boston, get a gun and wait outside of security at the Airport they went through. First of all, there's a bunch of them. There's no way you are going to get them all before security guns you down. At best you can off a few of them and delay the attack, but all that does is push things back by like a week or so.
