Simply put, if you had the ability to go and change any historical event (or create a new one) without direct repercussions to yourself, what would it be?
Mine would ultimately be killing Genghis Khan. That jackass basically destroyed most of what remained of civilization after Europe fucked itself, putting a massive delay on technological progress and causing so much devastation that some populations have yet to recover, over 700 years down the line.
Then again, it seems that Genghis' conquests allowed Europe to catch up and ultimately overtake their neighbors as they recovered, so that could be dooming my people to a world dominated by East Asians. [I]Oh the horror...
[/I]Also, before one of you fuckers says it, don't give me your philosophical 'I wouldn't change a thing because these experiences made the world what it is and blah blah blah morality" because this thread is about speculation, so don't be a Squidward and bore everyone to death.
I would find whoever thought web ads that make noise were a good idea, and prevent them from catching on.
I would go back in time for five minutes and warn you about the horrors this thread would unleash.

"generic kill hitler back in time, then have stalin ruling europe in years to come"
I'd change the fact that I could only change one thing in history.

Save Hitler.
[QUOTE=$$JOSE$$;41259498]Save Hitler.[/QUOTE]
prevent hitler's mistakes in ww2= Wolfenstein
I would sneakily motivate other nations during the Cold War to also land people on the Moon, as well as get a sort of "Sea Dive" (like the Space Race) going, to see what technologies the rival East and West could come up with. That way, we would all have put more effort in travelling to other planets and into the depths of the ocean. Who knows, we might eventually find certain species at the ocean floor that could hold secrets in their DNA alone that could give us a huge jump in medical treatments.
I'd add another pickle slice to the sandwich I had for lunch
Give Hitler a nuclear bomb and then watch the results
I would go back in time to tell Casey Hudson to not fuck up ME3.
I will bring back all the evidence of its failure as I can to convince him. I'd do the world the greatest of favors.
i'd go back a few minutes and grab some more soda, repeat, infinite soda.
I'd find a way to give Obsidian enough time to finish KOTOR 2, which in turn would make sure that TOR never exists.
Have sex with Hitler so in history class I can just be like
"You see that guy? Yeah, I totally tapped that"
I'm not sure, there's so many things that could be stopped to prevent horrible things, but which one is more cost effective as a whole to stop?
Stopping Microsoft from getting their hands on Rare.
Find the guy who invented shoe laces and punch him in his stupid fucking face.

I'm 6'9" and my balance is fucking horrible. Tying shoes while standing is like a fucking circus act for me.

Kneel?

I feel so fucking stupid right now that I never thought of that before.
I'm just going to lay down.

I'm going to punch the guy who invented flip-flops instead. Those aren't even shoes, they're crimes against formality.
go back to the war and save cotton hill's shins
Call me crazy, but I'd love to be able to go back to right when some people died, bring em back with me, fix em up, and interview them. It could make for some interesting and insightful conversation. Personally off the top of my head I'd take George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and every one of the World War 2 leaders (both sides).
I also wouldn't mind shoving Tsar Alexander back into that carriage and seeing how long the Russian revolution would be delayed without his death.
I'd make sure that Rome didn't fall, thus cancelling out the Dark Ages.
