You need to find out when Hitler was conceived, and go back and distract at least one of his parents with inane time-travel chatter so they don’t have sex for at least 24 hours. Hard to pinpoint the date, though…. You might have to keep it up for a week or so.
/me just wants to mention “Genesis and Catastrophe: A True Story” by Roald Dahl.
Also, that painting in the fourth panel looks a lot like a painting by mr. A.H. that I once saw. Thank goodness I was still in stitches over the first three panels or I would have… erm…
Or avoid the whole Karma thing and just help him get a job as a painter.
Then stop the whole war thing by kicking France in the pants, as well as all the other powers at the time for being such douches to everyone.
Actually, going back in time and knocking on the door at a critical moment to prevent conception is used as a plot device in a series of novels by Jasper Fforde. 🙂
If I DID have a time machine, I’d never go back further than the invention of toilet paper. Montgomery Ward’s catalog’s aside, there just ain’t no substitute.
#1 choice if stranded on a desert island too.
Just sayin’…
If *I* had a time machine I would go back to find out who first looked at a snail and said, ” Ya know, I bet this would taste good if it’s fried with some butter and garlic…”

I KNEW someone would recognize the painting! Good eye.
Or become Hitler’s father.

The genes are still there so the question is do we want to take the chance someone worse is born instead?
Surely you mean someone better. As in someone not stupid enough to go to Russia in the winter, and who would be controlling the world today.
Depends on the side you choose…
Far easier to line up: distract Gavrilo Princip with the conversation one morning in 1914

Well worth a read.
Stephen Fry’s “Making History” was okay too until the gay at the end. The plot had not prepared me for that.
The name Stephen Fry should have!
…like in a good way?
Is there any other way to be compared to Der Führer?
Ach du lieber!
