If you had a time machine...

First I'd drop off all the Holocaust deniers into Germany with nice papers that claim they are Jews, approximately 2 minutes before Kristallnacht began.
I'd kill Hitler.
And his cronies in Italy and Japan.
And maybe file a patent on the computer.
I'd probably mess up history enough that the world as we know it wouldn't exist. So if you create a time machine, don't let me near it, thanks.

If you killed Hitlers allies, they would probably be the same now as they were then and not our allies.
 
Anytime there's a massive crisis in the ancient world, records are either spotty/destroyed. So that's my destination. Travel back in time, obtain rare artifacts that'll disappear from history, make a killing in the present.
Or get rare crap from today, go into the future, sell antiques, buy technology, obtain a sports almanac or a microwave.

:O ur back. On topic, I would love to see if I actually get a wife.
 
1. I'd observe some of the most major armed conflicts (WWI-II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Civil War, etc.)
2. Observe how life was created, whether through the "Primordial Soup" hypothesis or otherwise.
3. See what happens if I killed some notable dictators, for example, Stalin, Hitler, Mao before they killed millions, or prevented some assassinations, for example, Lincoln, JFK, or McKinley.
 
It'd be cool to go back in time to where modular synthesizers were just beginning to get popular.

hf with step 2 taking you billions of years
 
All of you that want to use it to amass riches, what good is it? You have a time machine that can go to any time and any place in the entire universe. Acquiring material possessions is for people that want to sit still. Surely, you wouldn't get bored of traveling all of space and time to want to sit still.

If it came between a trillion dollars or this time machine, I'll say, "I'll take the time machine. You can keep your worthless money."

Keep a reasonable amount to yourself, give the rest to charities or even help out poor countries yourself, if that is possible by simply using a time machine. That would be pretty cool, making the world better every trip you take.
