Given that the AIDS epidemic was still in full swing at the time, just being able to teach medicine makers how to make pRep would make you a billionaire just from the licensing fees.

That's a good idea but I wonder if anyone would buy them? Obviously the technology inside of it would be a quantum leap for any tech company that could get their hands on it. AT&t or ma Bell or Motorola would all easily fall over themselves to hand you several million dollars for it just so that they could have their top researchers reverse analyze the equipment.

The downside to that issue though is that it would be very difficult to get in contact with the right people to sell these devices at the right price.

You could theoretically also download every single patent that has been filed in the last 25 years and then go back and patent them earlier.

I'm pretty sure being able to release lithium ion batteries in 2001 would make a dramatic change in the world and make you a billionaire in and of itself.

Perovskite solar cells would be a great follow-up to that, and you could revolutionize computing by knowing how to make raspberry pi's.

Obviously as you work your way up the tech tree you need more and more money and more and more time but once you have the blueprints for the technology everything after that is money and manpower.

For instance, risc v is Open source hardware. You could quite easily develop the lithography processes needed to create the CPUs and be a thousand steps ahead of Intel in developing cutting edge top of the line computers. Combine that with releasing a modern Linux kernel with an OS to match for free along with the hardware purchase and you could completely destroy Microsoft, Intel, AMD, Apple and Google in a fell swoop.

In 1999 I think the fastest processors were at what 300 MHz, maybe 600 something like that, Risc V processors are commonly available today running at 1.85 GHz along with graphics abilities that would blow away anything that existed in 1999.

You would also need to redevelop flash storage and RAM to match, and it would probably be a good idea to roll out Wi-Fi as well, but if you had a billion dollars by the year 2000 and all of the equipment you could easily see these things being released by 2005 and not be beholden to any shareholders.

You could also find some of the lottery winners that absolutely hated what happened to their lives after they won and win the draw right before their ticket would have won.

That way you spare them the misery that the money brought them and you get a nice chunk of change for yourself in the process.

It's simple. Say for instance you were 30 years old in 1999. You would just slot into your 30-year-old self and have an opportunity to make new decisions loaded with information about a highly likely future.

However, if you were a baby in 1999, you probably would not want to take your own life over so you would choose the new body option, and lead a completely new life separate from your old one.

Holy shit. This is the most ick fucking cringe reply you could come up with.

This is the reply equivalent of people saying that climate change isn't real and global warming isn't happening because it gets cold in winter.

Also, nothing comes up when I search it on DuckDuckGo or start page

Pingy putty? I've never heard of this before.

What would your response be if you could take your family with you?

Don't worry, they can get a ticket and a new body too, but between the two of you you can still only take one backpack.

Sell it when it's in the 10,000 range the first time, circa 2015, then buy back when it drops to 400 in late 2016 and then hold

All you'd have to do is generate money with the information you brought back and then campaign for Gore in Florida like nobody's business. None of this hanging chads bullshit.

That and preventing 9/11 would completely and utterly change the world most likely for the better.

One of the reasons why the coronavirus vaccine was created so quickly was that the work was already 90% done.

If you orchestrated things that you would be a billionaire by the 2010s, you could purchase the company that designed the vaccine and make sure that they are appropriately funded so that the vaccine for coronavirus would already exist at the time the pandemic struck.

Anything you can acquire, legally or not, and have in your possession on Jan 1, 2024.

If you end up incarcerated or dead between now and then, the ticket is null and void.

My reaction to this post is about the same as it would be if an alien came up to me and just started garbling noises at me. I have no fucking clue what any of this is supposed to mean

I misread that as "Seinfeld nuclear site hacked" and did an actual double take.

I did not know there was a Thomas the tank engine movie. That show was crazy

Sudo fuck my system. There. Got it.

You know how I know I've gotten better at using linux?

I saw the command and read it and figured out what it was although I've never been exposed to a fork bomb before in my life.

I was like okay, this is an empty function that calls itself and then pipes itself back into itself? What the hell is going on?

I will say that whoever invented this is definitely getting fucked by roko's basilisk, though. The minute they thought of this it was too late for them.
