If you lived in a dystopian future...

[Tessu]

...where everything was barren, there was no oil left and very little natural resources, water was deep, deep underground and even then hard to find, all the rainforests had died out, and humans were on the brink of extinction--and you could go into the past for a day and bring back one item, what would it be? You can go to any place during any time period, and bring back any item as long as you can bring it back through time travel (i.e. balance it on your head, carry it in your arms, stick it in your pants, etc). You can't tamper with the past and future (or at least, not enough to heavily influence the fate of our people!).

Choose wisely!

DISCLAIMER: The above statements are not at all a reflection of where I think the human race is going. Okay, I lied, they are.

[TalHex]

does it have to be an item? how about a person?

[Tessu]

Uh, sure, if you can carry the person.

[TalHex]

Albert Einstein then?

[Tact]

I would go grab a plush wacko, and hug it tightly when we all go out. :wacko:

[Sord]

I would just stay in the past, fuck going back to the future

[Randomness]

I'll grab a pocket wormhole generator, and use it to open a gate to a lusher world. (I figure instantaneous movement through space is a lower tech level than doing it through time)

[astuarlen]

Albert Einstein then?

Not a very practical decision there.
Myself? Nikola Tesla, obviously. We'll make cool, zappy Tesla coil weaponry and magic hat teleportation devices and all kinds of zany shit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tesla_patents).

Actually? If I had a freakin' time machine, I'd just go back to the past and stay there. Dystopian futures are no fun. :(

Edit: Boo, beaten to the punch by Sword.

[Out_Kast]

Oh my.
I :disapprove: at your comment, Randomness.



Personally, I'd bring back a fusckning dinosaur. No reason in particular. It'd just be cool for a day before either it tore us all apart or we all died from lack of resources :wacko:

[Tessu]

No, no time machine. Nothing like that. You get a day. One day.

[TalHex]

if i had Albert Einstein though, with his intelligence and the stuff laying around i could maybe build a time machine, escape!

[Sord]

WTF IS THIS SHIT >:U

*squints* there is an impostor among us

Sharp eye.

[Toadthroat]

The Atlantic Ocean.

[astuarlen]

I'll see your Atlantic Ocean and raise you a Limited Edition Planet Earth, circa 2000 AD.

[Out_Kast]

If only you could pick it up in your bare hands, eh?

[Sord]

The Atlantic Ocean.

Well in that case, I'd fetch one of these:

Forget the pitcher, OutKast; I'm grabbing one of these:

damn it

[Out_Kast]

Forget the pitcher, OutKast; I'm grabbing one of these:

Oh, you mean a Water Cycle?
They're a little outdated now:

[Blitzkommando]

One of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_bomb).

With such silly requirements an equally silly item should be chosen. Cobalt-60 would even destroy the robot overlords so it's a win-win.

[Sord]

So that's what the hell those things were. As a little kid I went to a few trips on florida, there was a beach that had a bunch of those cycles up on shore (i guess you could rent them.) I had wondered what the hell they were for. Why would anyone want to pedal something that big through sand? Now I know I guess.

[Ranmaru]

A girlfriend. (girls that might have been my girlfriend if I asked them out :wacko:)

[ShinMaruku]

No, no time machine. Nothing like that. You get a day. One day.
A time machine then.
Then I'd find the cause and slay the witch behind it :E

[Sgt_Shligger]

I'll get a genie's lamp and solve all my problems of course.

[Boogie Troll]

I would go back in time and steal one mojo belonging to a Mr. Austin Powers.

[TheOneHero]

I think djinni's are cooler. Err, nevermind, djinni's are like, "I'll give you what you asked for, but not in the way you wanted." :disapprove:

[HeartBreak301]

You can go to any place during any time period.
I'd go to another planet where we arent suffering from post-apocalyptic nuclear war effects. Oh, I'd go grab a gene splicer for fun too. :wacko:

:disapprove:

Tess just said "No getting another time machine."

[Solstis]

I'd bring back LOVE.

Failing that, Sexy.

[Nitro Vordex]

I'll grab a pocket wormhole generator, and use it to open a gate to a lusher world. (I figure instantaneous movement through space is a lower tech level than doing it through time)
What the hell makes you think you could go BACK in time and find one of those?

Dumbass.

[Randomness]

What the hell makes you think you could go BACK in time and find one of those?

Dumbass.

The fact that time travel exists. Time travel is moving one way in space-time, wormholes move you a different way.

[Nitro Vordex]

You do realize you're going back in time right? Why would any place you go back in time have a wormhole generator?

Actually, I just realized Tessu's post contradicts itself.

and you could go into the past for a day and bring back one item, what would it be? You can go to any place during any time period, and bring back any item as long as you can bring it back through time travelDissect.exe

and you could go into the past for a day and bring back one item, what would it be? K

You can go to any place during any time period, and bring back any item as long as you can bring it back through time travel So does that mean we can go forward too? CONTRADICT.

LOGIC ERROR.

Though, if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me.

[Randomness]

If the current timeframe has a time machine, I should be able to go back a little ways to find a teleporter, wormhole generator, etc.

Barring that I'll go back and board a generation ship or something.

[Nitro Vordex]

Sorry, edited post.

[TalHex]

H.G. Wells the Time Machine, its a pretty good book...

[Out_Kast]

I'll grab a pocket Butthole generator, and use it to open a tube to my lower intestine

:wacko:

[Randomness]

:wacko:

:disapprove:

[Nitro Vordex]

Anal time traveler. :lol:

[Out_Kast]

There's nothing better.

[Randomness]

Annals traveler. :lol:

In a way.

[TalHex]

Asshole time traveler. :lol:

indeed

[Nitro Vordex]

no wai.
It's true!

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

What the hell makes you think you could go BACK in time and find one of those?
