It's Hammer Time!
If I had to relive Highschool I think I'd remake Minecraft in my spare time, release/patent it before Notch releases his, and then take all my newfound wealth and short financial stocks in late 2008.

With several million dollars I don't even think I'd bother with college, just sit back and enjoy a rich gay lifestyle.

Actual problem #1 - You'd get FBI hosed so fast your head would spin. They'd refuse to believe you, or if intelligence closer to the time revealed something, believe that YOU were involved somehow.
Problem #2 - You'd continually get hosed afterwards.

immediately try to convince my family that I'm from the future and to invest every last bit of disposable income into Google. Tell all my friends how Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, and 3 are going to go and get called a loving idiot because it'll be the dumbest things they'll have heard in their lives.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Me? I'm pretty sure if a 13 year old called the airforce and told them about 9/11, they'd just tell me that it's all going to plan, and also, hang tight for just a few minutes while they route a prototype drone to my house to test out it's middle eastern wedding gift capabilities. So, instead, yeah, use my knowledge of google and netflix and twitter and all that other superficial poo poo to prosper. Better to be in the right hand of the devil than drone-striked by him.

Support a feminist today!


My plan:

1. Get Rich: There's unfortunately no way I can stop the Sept 11 attacks short of finding the terrorists themselves and offing them. Maybe if you had more time, but three days isn't enough. However I can get rich, I can set yourself up to play the markets and know where to bet when Sept 11 hits... then I'll have the money that I will need to be able to change the rest of the events over the next 13 years.

2. Prevent the Iraq War Using my new found wealth, I will let the War in Afghanistan go but move to bolster the anti-Iraq war movement. Money donations to candidates and think tanks against the war, op ed pieces, anything I can do to try and reverse the course of getting into that war.

3. Kill Vladimir Putin The man must die. He's simply too good at what he does and right now he's still a relatively new player. Yeah he's still president of Russia, but he's not quit the dark lord and master of it he is now. Not saying I'd do it myself, but man would I be paying a whole bunch of assassins to go after him.

4. Prevent the Patriot Act While the initial passing of the Patriot act is probably impossible to pass, with enough support (and money), it might be possible to let it lapse. If it manages to go down, then that will help prevent a lot of poo poo going wrong of the next few years.

5. Kill Al-Baghdadi The leader and founder of the ISIS. Right now he's just an Al-Queda grunt... who needs to die. And right now it's possible to find and off him before he becomes the man he is today.

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.

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.

Make a thread here and other forums before 9/11 telling everyone what will happen. Get made fun of and then bask in the glory of my rightness when it happens and everones in my thread like :aaaaa:

then get kidnapped by the fbi
