If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

Modern computing is actually very bad because it brought us your posting

If I went back in time I'd kick old man Babbage right in his ballsack, and Turing too for good measure.

i would travel to 1940 and kill gary gygax thus preventing the invention of videogame lootcrates or micro-transaction "XP boosts"

then i would travel to 2000 and would make Al Gore win the election against George Bush, just to prove to everyone that it would make absolutely no difference

1 Go back in time 30ish years and deliver myself as a baby.

2 Follow that up by kidnapping myself as a baby and raising myself to be faster, smarter, and stronger with my wealth of knowledge.

I'd go kick Arnold Schoenberg's rear end on Jan 1, 1920. He knows why. No need for a second change

:hellyeah::histdowns:
It feels like the genie or whatever is really setting you up for something here, like by specifying the second event you're essentially guaranteeing the first doesn't really change anything.
So, I'd say
1) go back 100 years and ask me what thing I want to change right now
2) change what I ask for

I wouldn’t gently caress with anything prior to the end of the Cold War, honestly. Too much chance of the world ending up as an irradiated hellscape.

Like, you could go kill Hitler in 1936 or whatever, but nuclear weapons would inevitably still be created and their development and early history could involve multiple countries nuking the poo poo out of each other instead of ending up at a standstill like we did.

I doubt Al Gore would have invaded Iraq, and if you put it off at least 4 years the country wouldn’t be as stoned on misguided patriotism.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

If you go far enough and wipe out the whole human race by maybe kicking the first protohuman monkey man directly in the balls, it would erase all your embarrassments
